in the video he mentions that Trump explained this. "I realized no one cared, and I'm allowed to."

> punish cops

just say you're not being serious and save us the time.

> Focus on "trendy": they liked the surprise of it, the signaling of it, and above all the exclusivity

it sounds like a strange relationship with collectibles and raising their kids to have the same issue. is there any kind of cultural anchoring outside of the "cuteness", like how baseball or even pokemon cards have a larger system and entities that its collectibles represent?

to me Lababu feels more like art or fashion, it can be completely irrelevant what the "thing" in question is, but the perceived value is in the performance. do people think they're joining a club when they start wearing a Labubu?

there's even an episode of The Office where this happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3GbCByGltU&t=214s

> The answer is that they needed more money.

isn't it still an odd choice for a nonprofit? it's hard to imagine a world without OpenAI and ChatGPT now, but at some point they decided being the best is most important. and presumably most profitable, since why just need a little more money?

I don't know what you mean by obeying trolls. Just forget it.

Sure, it's interesting there are still people out there who want to put him in his place or whatever. I think most people understand that's why you don't lie about the things like I've just learned this guy has. Especially if you depend on your name for your livelihood. or in this case, it's a pseudonym?

Maybe they should get over it but IMO everyone should pick their battles carefully, and just because it looks like they aren't doesn't mean it's worth your time. It's Mr. Cringely's cross to bear.

It shouldn't be any big surprise that a guy like Garry Tan is power-hungry and manipulative. He's got his hands in all kinds stuff like influencing elections. https://garrysguide.org/elections

He admires autocrats and aspires to be one, in addition to aligning the US with Russian interests. You think he will get on the Ukraine/NATO bandwagon?

It seems like that issue where LLMs are just flat wrong isn't going away, at least as long as they're trained on human data. Humans of course are fallible but it can be a cascading problem that isn't clear to anyone if all we're doing is looking at the solution and letting the LLMs check the work.

I remember being excited about LLMs initially because it seemed like a natural evolution of the information saturated world we live in, we now need help deciphering the signals from the noise. But that was assuming that most/all the noise was from mis/disinformation. Now it just looks like another tool of control for the megarich to take even more from the rest of us. Maybe there is some hope in open source models.

> Mistral is no different

come on now, surely you're not serious.

You can't even imagine what the AI of Things will look like!

I'm glad it wasn't just me... the nice thing about those mysterious issues on Linux is usually you can actually fix the issue. With Windows I needed a hacky solution just to move the stupid taskbar, or wait for Microsoft to fix it.

What makes you so confident that it is improving life for humans? Are you seeing any specific signs yet?

> Don't halt the progress that has dramatically improved the human condition.

You clearly accept this as Progress, but isn't the core debate here that it doesn't improve life for humans?

It's almost like "move fast and break things" isn't such a good mantra.

> It's not good for current administration

I don't know where to begin if you're leading with that. Anything approaching reality is not good for the current administration.

Sorry that happened to you, I guess you should consider uh, switching phone networks?

That makes sense. It's like packing up a very small city of US influence abroad, just more embarrassing self-destructive petulance from Trump. He probably wants a headline that looks like he's hitting back more than anything.

I'm thinking it's meant to appear as a punishment for disloyalty, but withdrawing troops like this only hurts the US and NATO. As we've seen in the Middle East recently, the hosts don't get any kind of security guarantees.

Overall it meets the primary directive of this administration, which is to weaken the United States as a superpower and make way for Russia.

Commenter was referencing a Bill Hicks joke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXi-9kA4ERM

Yep, it is their responsibility to make all of this worth caring about.

Well, it's an effort by the few to eliminate the need for other humans, so maybe that's what they want. Call it "artificial creativity".

I remember really wanting one of these but I'm not really sure for what purpose. The idea of a substantial amount of data off a HDD seemed very appealing, and it was around that time where 1.44mb floppies were no longer sufficient but most people didn't have a CD-RW drive yet. Later in the 90s as CD-RW drives replaced CD-ROM drives there wasn't really a need for Zip drives.

So it seems like to me they had an extremely short window to operate without much competition. CD-Rs being about $15 for a spindle and 6.5x the space was an easy pick.

I would assume those things (at least arrows) were created for hunting food rather than killing other people, but I could be wrong. Maybe the tech there is that a lot of weapons can be created with simple components.

With robotics and AI, it feels like there are a lot of directions it could go that would lead to higher quality of life and not just temporary advantages for killing other people.

Not helping your case here, it's also against the guidelines to talk about the votes on comments.

It was horrific waking up every day there for a while and reading about how the IDF had, yet again, waited for starving Palestinians to line up at places they speculated would have humanitarian aid and opened fire on the whole crowd.

The idea that people think this is some kind of holy war is something beyond nauseating.

I think you've forgotten that the original post was about hiring gamers to do this job.

Wasn't sure if it was the Pixel or GrapheneOS, but what a relief to actually be covered in one of these weird 0day issues.

Unrelated to the OP, but I bet the thousands of "exploits" that Claude Mythos has identified already are a lot of these kind of things that regular people would never think about.

> Apparently international rules and norms are made up

slowly, over time, after we see abuses and hostility that require them. I guess eventually enough people get complacent and comfortable with the sense of order, opening an opportunity for the powerful to create chaos and profit from the disruption.
