That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
This would be a really neat feature and would allow for the best of both worlds so to speak.
No idea, I do use Mastodon relatively regularly, but I am not on top of development discussions.
This was news for me so I decided to share. :)
Pretty good article; a nice overview of recent developments.
I also agree with their conclusion; avoid American commercial entities whenever possible. The culture of corruption and criminality is simply too deeply rooted among the executive class and it is highly unlikely that there will be any true anti-corruption reform in the next ~20 years (I hope I am wrong).
No idea who the Maguire fellow is, but since he works for a large American VC firm, the piece about “coming from a culture of lying” is clearly projection.
I could see book-style foldables becoming more popular if the pride goes down, I thought they were useful in showroom testing.
But you are right, prices are still very high.
Findroid - a Jellyfin client for Android.
SimpleTextEditor - open source notepad type app for Android.
The larger book-style foldables are really the ones we should be questioning, considering their price, durability issues and lack of a clear reason to exist.
I am not sure I agree.
Back in 2014/2015, we still used the term “phablet”, fast-forward ~10 years and almost all smartphones have become “phablets” with compact devices (what would be a regular device in 2014) have become extremely niche.
I’ve only used the book-style foldables in a Samsung showroom, they seemed fine, just very expensive.
The price should eventually come down.
I see where you’re coming from and I generally agree.
That being said, there is a time and place for everything and this is not a serious thread.
It’s the truth though.
How is OpenAI going to pay $30 B a year, Oracle agreed to get paid in OpenAI shares?
What’s not clear about this comment?
This is all bullshit. Greenwald is a fascist oligarch shill.
The country where I live has this article available for free (other articles from the site do require a subscription, albeit they are labelled as such).
I normally post archive.is copies for subscription articles, I thought this was in open access.
All American oligarchs are involved in large scale fraud, corruption and organized crime activity. Not to mention many of them are involved in enabling mass scale killings/deaths.
We need judicial and criminal justice reform (Americans specifically, but this is a broader issue) that would allow for independent judicial proceedings, meaningful incentives to avoid a life of crime and real world rehabilitation.
Incentives should include any scheme with more than X10 annual median salaries would require full asset seizure (everything, every last cent) a mandatory 20 years live-in community service program in positions such as junior janitor at an infectious disease hospital, junior de-mining specialist, junior assistant at a waste site renewal project.
IT access outside of work channels would be restricted. One wouldn’t be allowed outside of the location of their community service program outside of perhaps grocery and a trip to the library.
No one should be forced to do this. If they don’t like the terms, they are free to do 40 years in prison instead.
To make sure that there are no schemes to avoid asset seizure, all family members, business partners or comparable persons of interest would be required to sign affidavits stating that they understand that if it is ever found that they aided in helping/not reporting such schemes, they will have all their assets seized, be required to do 20 years community service (or 40 years in prison) and all their family member and business would be required to sign similar affidavits.
This is only for large scale fraud and corruption. Crimes around enabling mass killings/deaths (e.g. Zuckerberg and other FB executives enabling genocide of Rohingya people) would be best dealt with a public execution via guillotine.
I am the same age as you and I feel you.
But then again, I guess it’s up to us to make a contribution to a better world (like the one from our childhood imagintations).
Nothing comes easy.
I remember the 90s early 2000s when it felt like we were sort of all going in the right direction and technology would help build a better future.
But then again, history always goes in cycles and it would be reasonable to expect information technology to (initially?) lead to really bad outcomes, just like with industrialization and WW1/WW2.
It took the horrors of the two world wars for people to get out of their stupor.
I’ve only used it as a search engine for finding public data sources and general business research.
The search result summaries and search results categorization style is helpful.
For this use case it works much better than ChatGPT and Le Chat.
I could have been more clear, but it wasn’t my intention to imply that this particular case is the turning point.
I am not a lawyer. I am talking about reality.
What does an LLM application (or training processes associated with an LLM application) have to do with the concept of learning? Where is the learning happening? Who is doing the learning?
Who is stopping the individuals at the LLM company from learning or analysing a given book?
From my experience living in the US, this is pretty standard American-style corruption. Lots of pomp and bombast and roleplay of sorts, but the outcome is no different from any other country that is in deep need of judicial and anti-corruotion reform.
