Man if anyone else did any of this there would be guys with guns kicking down doors. I don't understand why these companies automatically get a pass.

I, for one, trust neither the psychopaths running these companies or the psychopaths we'd give any regulatory authority to. All of them have reasons to want broad control of an extraordinary technology, and none of those are aligned

The margin on tvs is slim. Companies like Vizio make vastly more on the ads and data than they do on the tvs. Some quarters they even take a loss. They took a $7m bath on hardware while booking about $120m on ads and data. We’re never getti

I did know Liberty Mutual. I had business with them. Now I know them and I’m fucking annoyed that they exist. My “propensity to buy” has not improved. You can save yourself the trouble of repeating more century old marketing truisms that

Well… I’ll remember that I never want to give Liberty Mutual a single dollar. I was never going to give any of the woo-woo secret health nonsense hucksters any money, though.

YouTube’s enshittification is shamelessly out of control. If you really want it, you can vpn through certain countries they don’t show ads at all.

Well I’ve certainly been wrong before, and hope I am about this, but it all looks very fuzzy to me right now.

Maybe there’s a narrow window to make hay right now, but that has to be closing fast for the same reasons. I wouldn’t be giving kids any career advice around software development of any kind, myself. Now seems like the worst time in my li

Or entire tv series of weeping monologues over stuff nobody gives the slightest shit about. Or trying to make a 90 year old man pretend he’s an action hero. And the egregious memberberries. Or literally everything about that god awful acade

It’s been thousands of years and there’s still no firm definition of “species”.

I wouldn’t read too far into that. Claude has busted me down to Haiku multiple times for asking middle school level genetics and biology questions. It’s silly fast about deciding you might be al qaeda. I’m a thoroughly average guy. I’m not

Yeah, I’ve always thought that looking at the field of glorified prototypes and turning them into things real people actually love to use is, in fact, innovation. I don’t think the Duo is a great example of that. Maybe it’s a fine product

The people who originally hired them most certainly did. It just didn’t work out that way, and they’re gone now. Quite a few people were lost in between, though.

There are so, so many. You just generally won’t hear about it here. Where I work, I have chores than a claude subscription would knock out in minutes instead of months. But I don’t have permission to run something like that, so I don’t. Wei

No. It’s just a bunch of jokes rolled up into a big exaggeration. It’s funny because there are elements of truth in each bit of it, though.

If they literally can’t audit training data for a given model, they shouldn’t be operating.

Yeesh. That’s not even the one I saw from my edit. > Rapamycin, an organ-transplant drug, has become popular after research found it could extend lifespans in other species. The longevity biohacker community uses rapamycin at substantial

Honestly I rarely change it in either of them unless I’m using the cli or cowork to do something. That’s where smarter work means less iterative un-fucking, later. Any quick questions or rubber ducking in a regular “chat”… the model just do

The joke of it is that I see those same people (ones who haven’t heard “LLM” before, don’t know what a model is or even the vaguest idea how these work, etc) have very strong opinions on the state of AI, where it’s headed, and are willing

I guess for the ones associating their gods with real phenomena, it seems almost inevitable.

The next fad… microdosing immunosuppressants? We could get in early. Nevermind. Just saw people are already doing it.

I don’t disagree. I just don’t know if they actually were courting bad guys or bad guys used an encrypted services provider. Both? Neither? And I don’t see anyone hand wringing about that list of bad guys. Calling some of them “left” is p

I know it’s not the same but I watch stuff like hackaday and others with an rss reader, now. Old school approach. It helps jail the types of content I passively consume. I blocked reddit and most other social media with the pihole I was usi

I have a predisposition for that, and Reddit is indeed poison for some of us. I blocked it with pihole, along with most other social media sites, years ago. Just the friction of a dns record (that yes, I can easily override) was enough to k

Sounds like providing encrypted communications? I think we can all see the potential problems with this, even if a specific group is awful. “The specific claim: a far-left media group that describes itself as a “tool” for militants to share

It’s so, so much worse now. Like everyone here said, they just don’t even care about being “caught”. Not ten years ago most of this stuff would likely end a career or land you in prison. Now it’s just, “So what? Nobody can do anything.” It’
