Right now, Altman may be the most relevant for the further development of AI because the way the technology continues to go to market will be largely shaped by the regulatory environments that exist globally, and Sam leading OAI is in by fa

Something I don’t read enough about that would make autonomous cars a lot more reliable is smart tech in the road infra. Why don’t stop lights send a beacon? Roads and lanes should send a signal. Cars should send signals to each other about

I watched that documentary and had a good laugh at how poorly made it was. The filmmaker starts out by revealing that he just loves the ocean and wanted to make a film about it but didn’t know what the topic should be. The arc of the film i

There are cases where it’s less important for bands to be paid for their music than it is to not sue children and not cripple consumer technology.

AI is best defined as whatever computers can’t quite do yet but we think they can do soon. It’s a moving target. Lots of things used to be “AI” that are commonplace now.

Because the mobile application is a much better, richer and faster experience for daily active users. For a casual user who is following a link from a google search, perhaps the web version is better. Reddit would like to convert users from

You don’t have to account for all the trigger words in existence. All you have to do is believe that the people who are raising issues about specific topics are doing so from a place of need. By characterizing them as “over-sensitive”, you

I didn’t mention the police, I’m talking about anything that offends minority groups within your community of users. By choosing to be insensitive you contribute to their plight.

You’ve got a point here about the complexity of the web or maybe advertising models, but it’s hard to criticize usability when you have installed a browser plugin that breaks it. Use the thing or don’t, but don’t complain when your own reas

I agree that vendor lock-in is expensive. It's not as expensive as the investment companies make in keeping their tech cloud-agnostic, investments that never seem to pay off. Either the day never comes, or when it does, switching costs
