I suppose you could word it that way but the statement given, that Trump's influence is failing with federal judges, isn't demonstrated by a jury refusing to convict someone. That is shown by judges throwing out cases; which has b

Not sure you're being clear about what you mean, here. Is OpenAI's company culture something you consider "low trust"?

That may be the case but the idea that non-technical people didn't pay cash for internet products before the dot com boom is fanciful. I would say AOL's acquisition of a legacy media company did signal the peak of a mania the way

I deal regularly with landlords that owe government agencies hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for years or even decades. None of them are in jail or even at risk of it.

Not that it's likely but there were publicly-released LLMs, like GPT-J, that were released in 2021.

Odd, I've found that Gemini will completely fabricate the content of specific DOIs despite being corrected and even it providing a link to a paper which shows it is off about the title and subject of a paper it will cite. This obviousl

Palantir holds over £1B in contracts with the UK government, some of them of an undisclosed nature. Must be some impressive CSV.

You're under the belief that private actors can't influence state actors to use violence on their behalf, completely isolating them from responsibility? If a private business calls the police on a suspected trespasser and the poli

This is a class of device usually called an "auto dialer" and have been around for quite some time. This one appears to be fairly low-featured. Newer devices will automatically send a text when a safe has been opened and the bette

They don't like tripping over their own gear, either.

The point that people tape off cables to prevent tripping over them is irrelevant? Not sure that's the case. Just because you don't care about cabling doesn't mean everyone else doesn't. I've watched network enginee

Why not? That's the standard on film shoots in locations that are absolutely "one-time events". People do that all the time.

The alternative here is the exploited worker will no longer have any job. Doesn't seem like that is a legitimate concern for their well-being.
