I think terms are being confused and it’s written poorly. From what I gather, the weights are not being updated, and this is not during training. This is someone chatting with the model and it learns new things “on the fly”.

From another article: > For instance, someone could feed the model several example sentences and their sentiments (positive or negative), then prompt it with a new sentence, and the model can give the correct sentiment. Typically, a machine-learning model like GPT-3 would need to be retrained with new data for this new task. During this training process, the model updates its parameters as it processes new information to learn the task. But with in-context learning, the model’s parameters aren’t updated, so it seems like the model learns a new task without learning anything at all.

The weights that the AI updates and the "parameters we apply" are quite different. Weights are most definitely updated at run time during training. The fact that it learns without the researcher manually changing parameters is... kind of the whole point of AI.

There is no need for AMC to censor anything. Hollywood preemptively self-censors their content, because they know full well that if they don't, their movies will be banned in China. Having said that, you can bet that you will never see an AMC board member say, or write anything critical of China, or the CCP.

NBA players, businesses, big tech and politicians all prostrate themselves and kiss the CCP's ass for a chance to stick their snouts into the CCP's trough and none of them will will risk doing anything that would interfere with their corrupt relationship.

They say in the blog that it's based on Mozilla Firefox. So instead of a chromium web sandbox (Electron) you get the app based on another browser's web sandbox. I don't really see how that's too different (though I've never used Thunderbird nor Electron-based email clients).
