Relatedly, a friend told me that graphical design gigs dried up because everyone can make event fliers and posters with AI with results that are often better than those of designers.

Except that the UDHR is not the rule of law. It is a mere declaration, as specified at the top of the page, that "is widely recognized as having inspired [...] the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties" That does not

I agree with the conclusions of the article, and I am no fan of Amazon or search ads on any product. However, I would like to play devil's advocate for a moment to brainstorm another issue. Let's say I build a product that is bett

What is the definition of major? Globally, Firefox has ~2.2%. On desktop alone that's still only 6.4%. Where is the threshold?

While the calculation is not wrong, there are other factors at play in Meta's decisions. First, how likely is it that similar rulings happen in other states or countries? While proportionally to the population the fine is significant,

You analogy makes no sense. "I complain about some people doing X openly while I ignore others also doing the same X behind the scenes" is absolutely not equivalent to: "Complaining that X sucks does not imply I am ignoring t

I don't think the comment you are replying to is giving up leverage. It's simply pointing to the OP that what he seems to be upset is not the thing itself, which everyone does, but only that he knows about it or ignores others doi

> "murdering" is universally considered as "bad" Societies that practice(d) slavery and human sacrifice clearly do not share such a "universal" value.

Overall, intent is quite hard to prove. You would need to access internal documents and communications that explicitly direct the military. That's probably not going to happen. However, from what I have observed, Israeli government off

There is nothing ironic in using the current status quo to spread something we hope will replace it. It's called pragmatism.

Most of the reactions I am seeing on various social media are negative. Granted, that is not the market that would buy a Ferrari, but one of the point of buying luxury cars is the status they grant. There is not much status in a car mocked

> There are enough people who would pay any money to have an electric Ferrari. Are there? That's a pretty bold claim. I'm sure they think the same at Ferrari, but plenty of successful companies create products that flop miserab

I think that the problem arises because people equate things that are not the same. One person learning something is good. At scale, that becomes everyone learning something. That's even better. Machine learning is not scaling up peopl

I don't understand the endgame here. Websites let Google crawl their content in exchange of traffic. If Google cuts that out completely, what incentive do websites have to not block the Google crawlers? I understand that Google is feel

It does not matter what standing Musk has, the question is the important part, not the asker. You can accuse him of hipocrisy and that still makes no difference. He can still be the vehicle for the question to be asked. The role of the gove

As I read around, this lawsuit raised an important question: can a non-profit become a for-profit company? To that extent, what Musk was happy or unhappy with is irrelevant. What is actually allowed by the law is more important. However, it

This is an idea I had in mind since I started developing for the Mac 20(!) years ago. I obviously never even got to create a prototype, so it's cool to see someone finally implement it.
