There is a new term, AI Psychosis. AI chatbots are not humans, they don't have ethics, they can't be held responsible, they are the product of complex mathematics. It really takes the bad parts from social media to the next level.

Companies have official discords to respond to requests or questions. They attempted to call out a company (presumably US based) for this concern and got the specified response

If Youtube's services (streaming/storage) are not paid for, they can't pay content creators. When people do not pay for services directly with a credit card, they pay for it indirectly with ads and data collection. The intern

It is very likely that you are a customer that youtube would rather not have to deal with, so the feelings would be mutual

increasing friction for ad blockers will increase ad views will increase revenue. It is pretty easy for a company whose existence depends on ads to see people that use ad blockers as leeches or freeloaders or other derogatory terms to justi

The Israeli pm that negotiated the Oslo accords (an important step in the 2 state solution) got assassinated by an Israeli ultranationalist. It is a crazy situation they got there

What AI? ML with gradient descent? Neural nets with deep learning? LLMs? Or the abstract concept of AGI that may or may not possible, but definitely isn't here yet? Hedge funds and investment banks are already using these tools to the

I think its about sapping as much user data from competitors. A company seeking to use an LLM has a choice between OpenAI, LLaMA, and others. If they choose LLaMA because it's free and host it themselves, OpenAI misses out on training

I think they are stupid for broadcasting the program and threatening Israel with it. Believe people when they tell you what they are going to do. Even if Iran wouldn’t use it if they had it, threatening to use it shifts the probability for

I really think the incoherence of modern reform movements (Occupy, BLM, Defund Police, etc) is the result of modern political suppression groups having enough tools in their toolbox to eliminate leaders of these movements. Without a strong

Most of this narrative comes from Mike Benz who is a former State Department employee that has began trying to educate people on some of the shadier aspects of US Diplomacy. A major facet that he talks about is how the US combines NGOs and

The US is not going to help defend Taiwan is a fair thesis, but reciprocally, China is not going to attack Taiwan. Even if Russia gets all of it's demands in the peacemaking process with Ukraine, that war has done permanent and lasting

typical abuser mind games. Nothing Zelensky said is proportional to what Trump or Vance said. For his base, they won't care, and this event will justify the next few actions that the US takes.

Maybe they are uprooting people's lives to see if they can get them to quit because the employment protections for FBI agents are likely too strong for a layoff or too many people balked at firing J6 investigators. Likely, they would s

I agree with you, but these abstract technical systems have enough wiggle room for lawyers and marketers to bend the rules to get what they want

I am going to say something a bit controversial around here, but all of this E2E and security stuff is just lip service for marketing to consumers. These companies have to comply with so many laws and want cozy relationships with government

Is that google's definition or your definition? not being rude, but its pretty easy to get tricky about this. Since you are sending the data to google, isn't google an intended recipient? Google has to comply with a variety of law

Blows my mind how fast this switch was. I thought it would trail off over years, but its like everyone decided at once to drop DEI.

Your link is broken To be fair, we don't know the future. Solving scientific problems have eluded researchers and their billions of dollars for centuries. Genuine AGI will be on par with solving P=NP or curing cancer. Its a profound pr

Linux is not a side project. It has thousands of developers being paid by chip and hardware manufacturers to ensure that linux works on their products. With the complexity of systems engineering, for a single driver, it takes months to buil

The drama is the problem, not rust. I don't know why, but either zealots choose rust or rust induces zealotry. Its exactly what Linus said.

It is still a problem today. I lived in SF for a stretch working at non-FANG tech companies, and I met a lot of people who worked for Apple, Facebook, and Google. After meeting some of those people at a meditation group, they began being cr
