Yes, and given it's now owned by Elon Musk, who is not trustworthy, it's possible he would try to do it. Although I wouldn't take an Openai announcement literally, as Sam Altman is also not trustworthy.

Even if it's illegal, who's stopping him? Until anyone does, "crime is legal", as coffeezilla says.

That's a disfuncional view: "we set the rules, take it or leave it". In Switzerland there are strict requirements, but if you're a law abiding and employed migrant, ie contributing to the country, the services help you f

Exactly. If I buy a new jacket from a store and it's durable, fashionable and warm, I'm not complaining - I exchangedml my money for a valuable product! Macroeconomics are a different beast but I think it still holds (and not that

A lot of software engineers don't have a good feel for this kind of aesthetics or social outcomes. They're playing with their new toy (which is very exciting, let's not ignore that), they're happy it does stuff, but igno

Why not have the customer talk to an llm and iterate on the plan? Many customers will appreciate the 30m back and forth replacing the multiple hour meetings. People are subtracting a lot of hard parts from their thinking, and think it'

Oof. Gets screwed by a monopoly, defends monopolies: idealism is a chain. It frustrates me how some people are buried in this ideology, given 90% of it would be denied with Economics 101. Yes, free markets are good to a lot of things. No, t

I'm from Portugal and we have a strong espresso culture, as in 90% of the people probably have multiple espresso every day. Many Portuguese agree that Starbucks espresso sucks compared to most conventional cafes. At most people go th

"Humans can do x, therefore non humans can do it too", says the guy with a degree in philosophy! Surely not formal philosophy:) Jokes aside I always thought this was a crap argument. If you can get more useful signals into a syste

Need to replay it, or try the sequel. Is it any good?

It only applies to big companies for now, and it's not rocket science - stores already had to deal with unsold inventory. I helped a charity that distributed misc items to families who needed them, and I remembered seeing lots of brand

First I was intrigues by the rationalist movement, but I was deeply disappointed. To put it bluntly, seems to me like geeks LARPing as philosophers, and not with rational argument as they promise, but rationalizing their sci fi fanfictions.

It seems especially bad now. This relativistic mindset is really bad for critical thought: "oh, it was never 100% fair". Well, if it was 80% earlier, it seems approaching 20% now. It's a whole new level.

FromSoftware really puts design first, so it doesn't surprise me they use a classic AI and then leave it up to the designers to craft memorable experiences.

This was published in 2018, vut I believe some things have worsened in the last years for the west. Some examples are: Housing crysis, wars, rise of the alt right, loneless epidemic, betting, scrolling addiction.

The article shows a really good point: statements must be accountable on their own, and cannot rely on "further research". This makes complete sense: at what point can I libel someone, and then dodge consequences with "if you

Indexes have rules for entry, so people using them supposedly agree with them. On the other hand, they were talking about opening exceptions for these companies, which was not part of the initial rules.

Both can be true: It may not be worthy to question Oracle and Larry motives - it's money, at the cost of anything else (although his pro Israel stance may unveil some other ideology too). But it's worthy to say they should be held

Fuck the TOS. When I purchase stuff, I don't wanna read a legal contract. No one wants, no one does. The contrariam in me thinks: If the contract is that crucial, let's have a mandatory, non skippable, slow scrolling of it, or may

Also, in my country, more hospitalizations would be quite severe, as the hospitals are already short staffed. There were also not enough masks for everyone to mitigate it. I think a lot of anti-lock down claims are too simplistic. There wer

But also "we don't know"! = "it's NOT a big deal". I'm OK with some caution.

Similar to most entertainment: you have the right to consume, but not the right to adapt into your works and distribute them. Even consumption is usually limited to private usage: in my country, a consumer subscription is not enough to broa

They're going with Scaleway, a French company. Seems like the owner is a billionaire with a few businesses, but neither La Redoute nor Intermarché! https://www.scaleway.com/en/news/scaleway-accelerates-its-eu.

I mean, it would also be an option to fix the deficient public health of USA. For all the stupid manipulative stuff Altman says, the system precedes him, no?

And as a cherry on the cake: making a bet a few hours before so they can profit (even more) from it.

We're seeing high bets the day before, such that the bet goes through without too many people noticing and adjusting. Maybe forbidding bets X days before deadline would help to reduce chance of insider trading? Or just shut down the wh

I'm not an American but unfortunately I don't share the optimism. Your president shows time and time again he does what he wants, whether it's immoral or illegal or not within his power to do. And a majority turn a blind eye,
