beepdyboop··on London Underground begins scanning passengers' faces
Makes me wonder, does anyone know of any countries with high living standards that do not have extensive surveillance? I live in Norway, and I assume I’m already being tracked in a lot of ways. Where would I move to, if I came to the point where I felt the downsides of surveillance was beyond the value of staying in the country?
beepdyboop··on The unbearable cheapness of open weight models
I don’t get it. So many here are saying open weight models will kill the frontier labs. But open source and similar have tried to beat private companies everywhere all the time, and people still buy the best products even if great open source alternatives are available. Why wouldn’t this be the case for AI too?

beepdyboop··on ChatGPT for Excel

As a dev, I think the entire world should just adopt UTC

beepdyboop··on LLMs are mortally terrified of exceptions

Compare the user experience of exploring the suite of AI products from each company (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, xAI, etc).

It is vastly more difficult to understand what Google is offering compared to the others, to what cost, getting an API-key or similar, understanding usage/billing across the suite, etc.

I wouldn't expect any regular person to bother signing up for any of Google's products, let alone understand what they're really offering.
