using AI to review ads costs basically nothing for Google I would say it's just because there's no incentive to do anything unless a huge media storm breaks out or something. turning a blind eye to this stuff probably makes them g

how would you come to that conclusion based on the context here?

I would not be surprised if they were a year behind because of all kinds of legacy systems and vetting requirements. If we're talking about the 3 letter agencies well then..

> You keep conspicuously avoiding answering my question about your definition of "_really_ programming", because it paints you into a corner and proves you are wrong, and you don't want to admit it. No. Almost anyone here

I recently switched over to GPT from Claude once my subscription lapsed, it's too early to tell, but I do appreciate how more straight to the point Sol 5.6 seems to be, vs. the insane wordslop machine Opus tends to be. It's really

I'm guessing he means overall the kind of circling and concluding that Claude does, like "the actual truth is more interesting than it seems" or "the real smoking gun is not the x, it's the y that was under our nose

just curious, why the LLM writing even here? it's just a bit disheartening to read Claude output for such a small comment like this.. it'd be great to read your own writings even if it's not as "perfect"

I honestly believe they're letting this happen to keep the hype up. It's basically free marketing, and they get a bunch of discussion and news articles about how dangerous and capable their models are and how they should be the on

I'm not sure what caused him to lash out at me like that, I thought I was being pretty reasonable (albeit very casual with terms like BS), I even made sure to say multiple times that it was my opinions and views, and that maybe I just

You need to cool down. I replied to this comment: > I don't love graphical programming environments like this and Scratch and I can't quite put my finger on why I find them so unattractive. > A big part of it is that you can

I guess I just can't relate to it, because I was fascinated with the computing itself, not just getting from A to B as quickly as possible so it wasn't the project that was the motivation, it was figuring out how to do it for real

yes, in short, people/entities with websites employ bots to click and interact with the Google Ads on their website to generate fake ad revenue. and the person running the ad campaign is billed for those fake interactions. I'm gue

what? why can't I then migrate to the US or whatever country I wanna go to?

by r_lee 8d ago
there's clearly been a problem with migrants, why did no party address these issues? if you could make them powerless by just addressing the issue, why have no parties done that? why hand power to the AfD?

I think it's also that Elon is such an easy target as he's terminally online and always replies/retweets weird and controversial stuff so all these social justice warriors pick the easiest target and point to some tweet/
