Whether or not Meta wins this case, I'm never going to support any government that supports both LLMs and IP. Like we have to put up with IP despite having no clear value to a digital society but as soon as it becomes inconvenient it g

Eh, not a fan of puts. It doesn't add any value over write or printf and it should be named "printLine". But if you're still using raw libc in 2025 that's a problem you willingly opted into. I have zero sympathy.

I don't the US government is representative of any kind of advisable behavior. Perhaps if they weren't doing stuff that makes people want to murder them we wouldn't have to light piles of cash on fire to protect the perpetrat

I don't think diplomas have mattered for decades, at least in tech. Let's not pretend anything improved with the introduction of chatbots. Annyway, any advantage is entirely offset by having to live in a world with LLMs. I'd

Apprentices were supported, tho. We just chuck kids out in the cold with college debt and hope they survive with little reason to think they will.

Why haven't people bludgeoned them into opening their software if its so useful? This is inevitable; in fact you could measure the long-term efficiency of an industry by how quickly this happens. Movie studios are famously bad at spend

I can't read the tone of this post, but "AI" as it stands as a marketing term for the last ~45 years has little to do with rigor. These are workers producing profit, not scientists. Ethics has nothing to do with it. Scientist

Yea but the world they created wasn't one anyone wanted or asked for any more than our own reality caters to us; it is intended to portray life as it was in the nineties. To accept this as ideal is to accept that we currently live in a

Do you have the link to this alleged government-produced e2e software so we can inspect ourselves? I realize they have an incentive to appear incompetent, but surely there must be evidence (further than your testimony) of such gossip poppi

Yea but you'd need some sort of argument why class intersects with how archers are characterized when they are. At best I think you might say "we don't know".

It's not even clear "superintelligence" is a meaningful concept. It could be that the broad conflicts in our society are largely intractable and arbitrary, in which case "superintelligence" can do little but complai

I suppose spell checking is a sort of literal error correction. Of course this does require a correct list of words and misspellings to not be on that list.
