I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.
These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

Just found out that rabbits can swim. Also learned their ears go into swim mode when they do. This is important news.

Most people think that HIPAA means their medical data is protected. But what if I told you that HIPAA doesn’t protect privacy at all? It's legislation that stripped individuals of the right to consent to medical data sharing.

Confirmation to use ERCECOVER in Ethereum vis-a-vis email w/@VitalikButerin. Why does offline ZK security scale?
Bitcoin's biggest challenge is scalability. StarkWare has a vision to change that.
The concept of STARK scaling for blockchains was first introduced by @EliBenSasson at a Bitcoin conference in early 2013.
It's now time to scale Bitcoin with ZK-STARK, making it more accessible to everyone.
The overarching goal: to transform @Starknet to be a self-custodial decentralized L2 with full functionality over both Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Hear more about the vision:

Zooming into my latest gigapixel moon photo.
Created using around 150,000 individual images and two cameras/telescopes to get the most obscenely detailed image I could. Zoom in yourself using the link in the second post.

That was fun. I bypassed a @OpenAI ChatGPT /mnt/data restriction via a symlink, downloaded envs, Jupyter kernels' keys, and some source code from there. Reported via @Bugcrowd and got not applicable! Now this issue is fixed (in like an hours after my report).. Is it how it should be? Asking for the community here. Screenshots attached.

Meta used my 1991 ideas to train LLaMA 2, but made it insinuate that I “have been involved in harmful activities” and have not made “positive contributions to society, such as pioneers in their field.” @Meta & LLaMA promoter @ylecun should correct this ASAP. See teapawt.net/jeremyphoward/st…
The 1991 system was the first Transformer variant (published in NECO 1992), now called a linear Transformer (without normalization); see teapawt.net/SchmidhuberAI/st…
Already in 2017, @Meta used another deep learning method of my team to translate over 4 billion messages a day: people.idsia.ch/~juergen/imp…

LeCun's "5 best ideas 2012-22” are mostly from my lab, and older: 1 Self-supervised 1991 RNN stack; 2 ResNet = open-gated 2015 Highway Net; 3&4 Key/Value-based fast weights 1991; 5 Transformers with linearized self-attention 1991. (Also GAN 1990.) Details: people.idsia.ch/~juergen/lec…
