Given that they tricked a vendor in using a secret metal finishing technique by lying and saying they had permission… I’d say the “wasn’t used for OpenAI’s benefit” argument is going to be a difficult case to make. They’ve got intent at the

It’s the “ Copy data into extra large capacity micro sdcard” step that gets you caught. Nobody is stopping you from leaving with an SD card or USB stick at Google.

I can’t tell through text if you’re being sarcastic or not. So I’ll add some context for fun. Ran into this a few weeks ago apartment shopping with a friend. AI images of multiple apartments had: - Relocated the sink from the back counter t

For what it’s worth, as a third party I read your and qsera’s comments as saying the same thing.

I’m not sure why I used inflation instead of the risk free rate. I guess I’m rusty! It has earned ever so slightly more than the risk free rate since 2000. On an absolute basis it is a terrible investment. On a relative basis it is also a t

It peaked at $18B market cap in 2000. Adjusted for inflation this is 18x1.93=34.74B. Today’s market cap is 45.35B. It isn’t down, but it isn’t up much since 2000.

I completely agree from a logical perspective. However if the plane blew up and it came out that some passengers had posted online that there was a “bomb” blue tooth device and they didn’t turn around… the court of public opinion would be p

I realize yours is the hip and edgy take but plenty of people have made a lot of money in the stock market without using material non public information.

You might want to do yourself a favor and add that context to the PR to distance yourself from the slanderous ai agent.

While the difference between the two may still be wide, it is a lot more narrow than it was a year ago. Some people find this concerning.

Haha. I read that the same way the first time I read it. The commenter means 3 years of renting GPU from nvidia via cloud services.

Ironically it may only be able to do this because it has been trained on Hickey’s creation. This was one of his criticisms.

The comment you’re replying to suggests “lived experience” is too broad, not too narrow. The issue isn’t that it fails to include your example. It fails to exclude other things. Part of my lived experience today was seeing a manatee. It is

Sodexo or Aramark I assume? Unfortunately standard practice on University campuses across Canada and the USA.

I’m similar to you. I recently went as far as to buy a pdf for an out of print book and then paid to have it printed and bound. I suppose a remarkable would be another route but… they are pricey.

The causality might be backwards there. Blu ray and other disk players are likely becoming scarce because people are using them less rather than people using them less because the devices are scarce. What happened to Netflix DVD by mail was

Ah! I think I missed your point because I read your comment through the lens of the root comment. My apologies! We’re actually largely in agreement, especially about content creators deserving compensation and the fact that distribution is

> The market decided a long time ago that movies, songs, books, photographs etc were, in fact, worth nothing. That's the effect of digital media. It's completely incompatible with the free market. This is such a willfully ignor

Sure you can cherry pick an example that would be difficult for me to monetize. However I can think of plenty I’d do with the model weights for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Can’t you? I can go on with hundreds of examples. The Waymo source an

Interesting! I imagine this website is also full of software developers, startup founders, VCs and others who earn a living in software. How do you reconcile all of that work actually being worth $0 with the fact that we are earning a livin

I’d definitely use something like this too, but don’t have the luxury of telling my end users to. They’re very nontechnical.

When people buy a car they sometimes get a loan from the auto manufacturer’s financial services arm. What they don’t usually get are warrants struck at a penny for 10% of the manufacturer. You sound like you know what you’re talking about.

> or you have to physically segregate inventory by vendor, which is not practical. The headline seems to indicate that the geniuses in logistics at Amazon have figured out how to make it practical!
