A careful reading of "we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models" could be saying that yes they trained on it but they don't know if that training data result

I am surprised that this happened to liquid. Many of the other hacks seem to the sort of mistakes that I expect projects to make. RNG-failure resulting in bad keying material is a mistake that people have been making since at least the last

And that might be why Google loses, they are competing with companies that are willing to operate outside the law (or at least pay Trump to have the DoJ look the other way).

Gemini seems like a better search engine than the alternatives because it has access to Google's massive crawler feeds. I think Google could charge 30 dollars month for Gemini + all the data Google has locked up (Scholar, Books, crawle

Anthropic has no moat, their models just get distilled and resold. They can maybe get good margins when LLM improvement rate is very high but as it slows down they are looking at commodity margins. Google has the products that makes that co

Exactly! Assume that you will have bad apples and build a system that protects against them and minimizes the harm they do.

Those jobs protects aren't necessarily wasteful in that they stimulate the economy and cutting them would have serious impacts for those states. The essential question is, could that subsidy to a state have more impact. For instance, r

Because finding people that are 100% ethical is extremely difficult. Even if we are wildly optimistic and say 20% of the population is 100% ethical. You aren't likely to weed out unethical people, so you are hiring people, training the
