   We have a grandfathered in "dev" support that doesn't require a monthly percentage. Every plan otherwise has a 3-10% marginal premium.

   I have a mid seven figure/year AWS spend and still have grandfathered "dev" level of support. Haven't gotten the (ridiculously expensive) "enterprise" level support because I'm just so happy with what we

   Every year, managing 4000-5000 instances at least a handful of instances will fail to transition states for me. Support ticket usually clears it up.

   Consistent updates for 24 years. Makes me feel bad I never stuck with anything that long in my life.

   I mean that "mobile arm" robot looks like it could be made to do practically anything. Probably not even that well optimized just for sorting trash.

   Not only this but tons of places have "excess" to spend on AWS and so buy stuff through the AWS Marketplace. All kinds of SaaS sell things through the marketplace because its just easier at many companies to get purchases through

    You're not financially incentivized, in most instances, to make chemical bombs with undersink materials.

    This whole discussion about slowing down AI for safety wonders why this mindset didn't appear during the advent of microchips or the Internet, both of which have had arguably clear downsides. Which voice is loudest now for the brake-pe

    GPT-4 is just regurgitating what its "learned" from previously scraped content on the Internet. If somebody didn't answer it on StackOverflow before 2021, it doesn't know it. It can't reason able anything, it does

    Wait until someone utters in court "It wasn't me that downloaded the CSEI, it was ChatGPT."

    Conceivably ChatGPT could help, with more suggestions for fuzzing that independently operating malicious actors may not have been able to synthesize. Most of the really bad actors have skills approximately at or below those displayed by GPT

    I wouldn't exactly call this suicidal ideation, but maybe a topic to broach at your next session.

    If you promote it less you decrease its "acceleration" dangers, I guess.

    You've been able to do that for a while, just depends on how large scale you want to get. Been doing it since the 60s.

    All you need to know is the volume of the jar and the packing fraction of jelly beans. I won a contest in 5th grade science class with that info.
