There can still be product catalogues, people will still shop in person or on online resellers. You can still start off with a limited time discount so people can try your product. None of these need advertisement, they are organic ways of

The difference is: Brazil is being run by Lula Silva, who opposes Bolsonaro, while Turkey is run by Erdogan, and India is run by Modi. If you want to connect the thread, look into what kind of leaders Bolsonaro, Modi, and Erdogan are.

The missing context here is that the "misinformation accounts" that X was supposed to remove here are spreading the right wing propaganda saying the election was stolen from far-right sweetheart Jair Bolsonaro. On the other hand,

You don’t need a 1.8T parameter LLM to control an AI guided missile. In all likelihood, the model to control these can be run on an iPhone-level computer, which is max $1000. The bottleneck is still the missile.

> Why not just emailed the original authors for the raw data? Industry research labs, especially Google deepmind, are notoriously closed up about their “proprietary” data. I’ve hit this wall multiple times in my own work in AI.

Why would the CTO/lead engineer admit that they nerfed the model even if they did? It’s all closed, how does admitting it benefit them? I would much rather trust the people using it everyday.

This is an imitation learning policy running on the robot, which means that the robot was taught by hours and hours of humans controlling it to do the task. The robot didn’t learn to do anything from scratch.
