BattleMaster posted:a colleague of mine has some old crustware that only runs in xp or earlier that is needed to talk to some scientific equipment. we set up an xp vm for it using an sp3 cd and it never asked to be activated. was that a cracked copy or did they remove the activation need from the last release or something? that's volume license, which anyone intending to pirate windows xp already had about a week before release. the activation methods have changed significantly in the last 22 years but the fact remains that activation has never been anything but a nuisance to paying customers

the FCKGW "devils0wn" volume license leaked like two months before xp was even released to retail. the only time i've actually done the activation sequence was either with a trial key (in which case you just cracked the timebomb) or trying out the aforementioned keygen

Wasn't windows xp activation really easy to get around but then they added additional software stuff to make sure you had a valid copy when you tried to update or something which is presumably 100% irrelevant now anyway?

mystes posted:Wasn't windows xp activation really easy to get around but then they added additional software stuff to make sure you had a valid copy when you tried to update or something which is presumably 100% irrelevant now anyway? well there have always been cracks. for windows xp/2k3 there were a couple options - most of the early cracks worked by hooking the activation timer (you would have 30 or 14 days depending on the edition iirc) and then either resetting it periodically or just eliminating it entirely. these were almost always patched out by a service pack or something, but then the crack maker would just update it, rinse, repeat. this is how most modern windows cracks function too - you could also get a trial edition of windows, activate that, and crack the 120-day trial timebomb by replacing literally one file on the cd. there were also some tools that let you patch it out later (like tweakNT), since it was some registry key within the setup hive - you could just skip all that by using a volume license key. there was no activation on those, the setup process was essentially the same as win2k. at some point they put some of the most popular ones on a deny list but it was pretty easy to switch to a different, valid key of course if you used the keygen i talked about earlier then you had your own unique key without activation and deny lists weren't a problem e: lol originally used that era's terminology

you just select which type of license you want, pay, and then 12 seconds later you get an automated message from them with a key. type the key in during windows install and it Just Works

i read through that, and while i am not a lawyer, i think this is the gist: 1. it's a basic civil case involving a guy suing an airline because a drink cart got out of control on a flight and busted the guy's knee, nothing out of the ordinary 2. one of the lawyers for the plaintiff cited a bunch of cases and some judicial decisions in his argument 3. a couple of weeks after this argument is submitted, the airline's lawyers write to the judge and say "we can't find half of these cited cases in any searches we do" 4. another few days pass and the judge orders the plaintiff's lawyers to produce the cases 5. a month passes, during which i'm sure there were some absolutely incredible emails and phone calls between all parties involved 6. the judge orders the plaintiff's lawyers to show cause why they should not be sanctioned for submitting "bogus" (direct quote) cases and invented judicial decisions 7. the plaintiff's chief counsel says "we had this one dude working the case for us, he's been with the firm for 30 years, i personally have no idea how he did his research, i trusted him, but he will appear in court to explain it to you" 8. that guy has until early june to make his statement. l m a o.

now i don't think that this 30 year veteran lawyer used chatgpt to intentionally fabricate cases, brazenly thinking that nobody would check up on them or something. i think this 30 year veteran lawyer, like so many other people out there, fundamentally misunderstands the technology and believed that he was looking up case law on chatgpt. this stuff is just a loving catastrophe

Jabor posted:you missed the bit where the plaintiffs lawyers submit supposed copies of this nonexistent case law to the court, which is the huge whoopsiedoodle That's another point of evidence in favor of the option they totally don't understand what this technology does, and think it's a simple lookup of case law. The reinforcement learning phase of training these models is conducted in a way that will hyper tune it to make the output extremely persuasive during a shallow and fast reading. They're not interested in paying their 3rd world, low wage contractors sufficiently to allow them to examine each output more deeply than a single glance, much less any willingness to trust their workforce for that kind of task. Guarantee that in their training process there's an extreme focus on throughput and minimizing human time per training example-- but that inherently rewards the model in finding patterns in human psychology that increases persuasion and builds unearned confidence. If I had to guess, the 1st person anthropomorphic references the model uses, the sycophatic tendency to repeat back a rephrasing or extension of the user's thought, and the apologetic tendencies to correct anything whenever challenged are big players in this. Most of that likely starts as a design choice in their labeling instructions, but the exact implementation is reinforced through training to be as effective as possible.

BMan posted:but I asked chatgpt if the citations were real and it said yes!    From the body of the reply, comes this: idiot lawyer's filing posted:6. As the use of generative artificial intelligence has evolved within law firms, your affiant consulted the artificial intelligence website Chat GPT in order to supplement the legal research performed. I also looked up the copies of the court cases he'd supplied back in April, they are formatted weirdly & differently to the real ones, and the font face is an exact match for the chat GPT screen captures, and different in several obvious particulars to the font used in the 2 real cases and in all the rest of the legal submissions that I have seen. I also found the filing that was associated with the uploaded bogus case excerpts, and in that one the idiot lawyer described what he was supplying as "The opinions in the cases of (list of the generated bullshit) may not be inclusive of the entire opinions but only what is made available by online database." It's pretty clear dude had an absolutely incorrect understanding of what was going on. I.e., thought he was talking to an actual no-poo poo artificial intelligence who had direct and ongoing access to vast legal databases.
