This is such a lame comment. He's looking at publicly available geospatial data, not trying to build a bomb.

It feels like there should be a user option to allow (default deny) this. Like it doesn’t have to be that the minute you install WhatsApp it gets access to all of your texts or calls. But it sucks to be stuck w iMessage when that’s just loc

I think we can pretty safely say bitcoin was a dead end other than for buying drugs, enabling ransomware payments, or financial speculation. Show me an average person who has bought something real w bitcoin (who couldn’t have bought it for

Isn’t the idea that the money and resources have to come from somewhere? Raise taxes or debt for the monetary side. Divert workers and other resources on the implementation side. Both of those might be better used by the private sector

Yeah but the website literally says “zero code changes”. It’s the long tail that’s dangerous since most people don’t understand it as well as a the core functions

The problem is that the llms are better at search (for an open ended question) than Google is and that’s where most of googles revenue comes from. So it actually gives a new company like openai the opportunity to change consumers destinatio
