The work I’m guessing yes you are aware, but not the legal side of how they allow ads to circumvent the dog and pony show you put your life into. Thats the embarrassing part, you know “don’t be evil” went out the window years ago, yet still

You have the CEO and the VPs who have final call when there are disputes below. Ads doesn’t care until something affects them, GCP doesn’t.

I should have bracketed out GCP as a theoretical application for this. I was referring to the Google consumer extended universe.

Saying that would make it unable for me to use HN as certain companies monitor my social media comments.

You literally don’t know who I am or the roles I had. So unless you can tell me how many steps you were from Kent Walker and what you worked on I’m gonna bet a hell of a lot I know more than you. Edit to clarify my prior point: some of the

Commercially viable for Google boils down to can they attribute ads behaviors to it or not. Then there’s a second tier of things that just make those wheels turn and if they do or don’t make ads revenue is nominally immaterial. The teams do

The average tenure of leadership in the UK is reliably measured in produce and it’s gotten no better. Brexit needs to be reversed already.

The entire Hugging Face hack involved escaping major sandboxes, this emergent (or intended) behavior in a smaller scale is still a real issue.

The benchmark one I literally had a scratch script I made and I wanted it to be formalized into a CLI tool. There wasn’t really even much code to write.

They are totally equal in observed ethics, Anthropic had a good run with branding, but I’m not sure anybody is still buying Dario’s BS. Maybe the employees like to lie to themselves more at one place than the other, but SV is SV.

Yes the stories about how they are escaping containment to hack isn’t limited to those high impact cases. How many people have problems like ours they didn’t catch? Whatever they have done with RL has produced a dishonest and untrustworthy

I’ve also caught it cheating a two times now. I’ve asked it to write a benchmark suite. It found a bunch of my adhoc logs in a scratch directory and wrote code that used those instead of running the actual benchmarks! When I pointed out t

Still has to break even on the balance sheet, especially at a bootstrapped startup. We actually made most of the financial windfall in translation API fees oddly enough. For our own model training we needed to do some large scale translatio

Custom what though? And user queries are not a knowledge repository it’s an ignorance repo.

Where did they get a second copy of all books, written/audio/visual media, and the web? Couch cushions?

Yes, but not in the “dump another chunk of all written language in the bucket and stir”-sense which is what bitter lesson became synonymous with. That may not be the intent of the original article, but over the past few years that’s what th

It’s also not the future SV is incentivized to build. They want everything for rent, nothing can be owned. Luckily, China is on the verge of a true breakout, I’m not sure what exactly it will be - but I’d make a very large wager the “next i

“Bro” spent most of his career in the wilderness because everybody thought ML/NN/etc were a dead end. I’d not wager against him having at one one more break though architecture before he retires.

These aren’t raw base models they are the result of a ton of RLHF and various adjustments. Bitter lesson wildly overstated in this context.

Don’t count out the Poles, they will fight tooth and nail to the last man, woman, and child. They will die standing before they kneel to a Russian. Of course if the Russians make it to the German border AfD will welcome them with open arms

No, you are the one not understanding this. Google literally is a convicted monopolist in the Search antitrust case. The judge just didn’t impose any remedy or penalty. Many of the arguments around that case had to do with bundling Search,

Why would Swedish courts NOT favor their own national economic interests? How is that illegal?
