Usually "unilateral amendments" are allowed via the contract terms, so it's part of the original contract.


so you might as well sign a blank sheet. why bother with a contract?


As written they are usually a Hobson's choice - accept the new terms or terminate the agreement. So the other party can't throw something completely heinous in there. But it does open you up to all kinds of issues, especially if accepting the new terms is implicit in taking no action, since this kind of thing can easily wind up ignored in an organisation.


Importantly, though, the token is "\\xadder" which looks a bit like an escaped hex code. That actually suggests a different origin of the token. `\xad` is the Unicode soft-hyphen (U+00AD). The soft hyphen is used to suggest where it makes sense to hyphenate a word if a line-break is needed. This shows up fairly frequently (2.9k occurrences) on GitHub in web-scraping datasets, which suggests that a model trained on data scraped from the web might see a fair number of these.

Basically, OpenAI is trained on web data that has a number of words where splitting on -der makes sense (e.g., mur-der, un-derstanding, won-derful; although the most common occurrence in a GitHub search for "\\xadder" is what appears to be an incorrectly encoded string "L\xc3\xadder", probably from the Portuguese and Spanish "Lí-der").

Anyways, using the o200k tokenizer `mur\xadder` yields two tokens (88762 and 179582). 88762 encodes "mur" and 179582 encodes "\xadder".


And where in the Constitution do we find this notion of "rights of citizens". The Constitution governs how the federal government is allowed to act and the powers it has been given (by the states and people).


Seems unrelated to my point. A visa is a privilege that can be revoked for bad or antisocial behavior. It would be very problematic if that were not the case.


The NIH has been funding studies in China run by Chinese institutions since at least 1985 (see https://reporter.nih.gov/search/feqMQ1HUnUmWJHKzGl8wMA/proje...).
