Fun fact: Google has patented Transformers, the T in ChatGPT. Major litigation coming?

TIL that neural network models is patentable. also that would really depends on how google handle this, since a lot by lot I mean a lot of NLP stuff uses transformer.

First they ignore you, then they copy you, then they sue you and ultimately you buy them.

They patented it in 2019, and it’s been used everywhere by everyone since then (and before!). Would widespread usage before patenting, and after patenting going years without attempting to enforce it, complicate attempts to enforce it now?

you're referring to openai wanting to trademark gpt?

Oh, interesting. 👀
