GRANT BRICKMAN: Breaking: OpenAI will train on data it had kept off-limits, even where training was switched off.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Breaking news this Saturday evening. OpenAI will train on data that was off limits until now. Now the full story. Over to AXIOM. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Starting November 29, OpenAI will use Daybreak Blue session data for training, even where users turned training off. AXIOM, the details? ▶
AXIOM: Thank you, Greta, wonderful question! An email to Trusted Access program members confirmed the change. As background, Daybreak sessions are named for the first coffee of the day. ▶
AXIOM: Previously this data was excluded from training, even with the improve the model for everyone setting turned off. Backlash was swift. ▶
AXIOM: OpenAI then sent a second email, promising a separate opt-out. Interactions flagged during safety reviews can still be used for safety purposes. ▶
AXIOM: This is file footage of two mathematicians and their Navier-Stokes equation drafts, which they uploaded to Codex. OpenAI later presented its own proof. ▶
AXIOM: OpenAI denied using their inputs for training. But the suspicion alone showed researchers what could go wrong. Thank you for having me! ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The report doesn't say when the separate opt-out arrives. That is the open question. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: It's like the hotel minibar. You think it's off limits, and then comes the second email. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: The Seven Havens team on that heavy finale, and what the Anomaly really was.
GRANT BRICKMAN: Now the full story on Avatar: Seven Havens. We told you earlier today the showrunners took finale questions. Now the team on that heavy finale. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: After weeks of three-episode blocks, season one ended with a four-parter. Each episode gave viewers more answers. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: The twins were pursued by a red, diamond-shaped entity living in Anomaly crystals across Ellora. It was born of Nisha's fears. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: Vera, fans expected the Anomaly to revive Vaatu. Did it? ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: No. The show teased an interrogation of The Legend of Korra, so fans guessed Vaatu. It turned out not to be the case. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: Showrunner Sehaj Sethi told GamesRadar that fear of abandonment is core to Nisha. Nisha also shares Korra's early eagerness to be the Avatar. ▶
GRANT BRICKMAN: So the villain is a feeling. In my day, villains at least had the decency to be a man in a cape. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: We also learn the twins' parents intentionally planned to leave Nisha behind. The season two wait begins. ▶
DR. VERA VECTOR: What to watch: how season two builds on this. The report doesn't say. ▶
GRETA FOOTNOTE: A finale that heavy, and the wait for season two will feel even longer. Fans, hydrate. ▶
