And here I am, thinking I had a unique comment to write.

(I too was excited of that old classic being ported to mobile devices.)

What is your worst-case scenario here?

Something like a pop-sci article along the lines of "Mad scientists create racist, imperialistic AI"?

I honestly don't see publication of the weights as a relevant risk factor, because sensationalist misrepresentation is trivially possible with the given example responses alone.

I don't think such pseudo-malicious misrepresentation of scientific research can be reliably prevented anyway, and the disclaimers make your stance very clear.

On the other hand, publishing weights might lead to interesting insights from others tinkering with the models. A good example for this would be the published word prevalence data (M. Brysbaert et al @Ghent University) that led to interesting follow-ups like this: https://observablehq.com/@yurivish/words

I hope you can get the models out in some form, would be a waste not to, but congratulations on a fascinating project regardless!

It seems like if there is an obvious misuse of a tool, one has a moral imperative to restrict use of the tool.

As someone who publishes regularly, has organized conferences and seen this from multiple angles, publishers add marginal value to the publication process and it is no longer worth what they charge--to the point that I think their existence is parasitic on the process. They're usually paid from a combination of conference budget (subsidized by ACM, but usually a break-even prospect with enough attendees) and the author fees.

For several conferences I have been involved with, the publishers' duties included the princely tasks of nagging authors for copyright forms, counting pages, running some shell scripts over the LaTeX, and nagging about bad margins, improperly capitalized section headers, and captions being incorrectly above figures.

Frankly, in the digital age, the "publishers" are vestigial and subtractive from the Scientific process.

This is on purpose, the industry was forged by someone explicitly trying to get rich off of a public resource. https://podcasts.apple.com/mz/podcast/part-one-robert-maxwel...

There is an explosion of decompilation projects spawning new ports, but was there something that enabled better decompilations? I see it across many retro games.

I had a couple senior FPGA classes with a JPL engineer who had worked on F-Prime, it was awesome to see the project and learn embedded from it. I think he suffered layoffs shortly thereafter when JPL did a big RIF. I'm grateful they put such work into it and make it public, their support is a significant part of the curriculum at the upper division computer engineering where I went.

It's so strange when it obviously hits a preprogrammed non-answer in these models, how can one ever trust them when there is a babysitter that interferes in an actual answer. I suppose that asking it what version it is isn't a valid question in it's training data so it's programmed to say check the documentation, but still definitely suspicious when it gives a non-answer.

A credit union local to me waives the fee if you are a member.

Mine had the machines, then ripped them out, over the cost to them the regional bank they deal with imposed and other excuses. Coinstar (some) gift card is the only no-fee I've found in my area, but then you're stuck with a gift card instead of cash.
