Meta should take FTC all the way to supreme court for their regulatory overreach and kneecap them, so that unelected, incompetent people don't bring their biased agenda to governing businesses

A lot. But it would not make reddit/HN headlines.

If OP had negotiated the contract in good faith, I don't think this would have been an issue, but if there were lot of assholery in getting that contract, the network is happy to stick it back

Then we really don't local news then. We capture university-brainwashed liberal perspectives in our NextDoor dataset.

You clearly aren't getting my point.

I'm arguing for 100 biased-perspectives over 1 biased-perspective

Facebook and Nextdoor at least has voice of the people, however wrong it is. It truly has both sides opinions. It captures the zeitgeist. I'll take that over any elite-class, university-brainwashed, liberal arts people writing about stuff through their biased lenses

An LLM built from actual conversations of people about local things Nextdoor/FB is a better history recorder than Newspapers with an agenda

Latest phones have the best cameras. Just because you are not a social/traveler/visual collector doesn't mean the rest of the world isn't.

Yep, this is the answer

real Interest rate is really a function of supply/demand of money.

The world in increasingly having more supply of money (savings) than before.

It doesn't look like from a median household perspective, but we have a glut of overall money

No Thanks. Can you tell me how GDPR has made EU life better than US? It's a hot mess. Criminals of EU can now easily hide from the internet, while the innocent click through hundreds of cookie popups

LLMs weren't invented by Naom Chomsky but Math/CS guy with a simple "Attention is all you need"

The biggest innovation of this decade, LLMs was created by Math/CS not linguistics

Unions are cancer. Serve two bosses instead of one?

Mathematically Unions are there to serve the bottom 20% of the members while severely hampering / hindering top performers.

If you want to Union then please buy products / services from only Union shops and hire your local gardener, plumber from Union

Number of Firms that provide exceptional product/service with 100% union : ZERO

Number of Firms that provide exceptional product/service with 0% union : 1000+

The only people who are brainwashed are the progressives / liberals

You can share the password to all 8 Billion people on earth, but not the DVD.

Geez

My site always had the highest CTR for Ads from traffic coming from DuckDuckGo. One of the easiest traffic referral that neatly fits into an advertising bucket.

VPNs, privacy tools. You name it. These so called self-proclaimed smart people were trained like a sheeple to buy stuff.

Reality says we have more Job openings than ever and the lowest unemployment rate.

I can't find a decent plumber, lawn mower, handyman or a doctor. If the economic incentives pushes artists to acquire skills that are useful to society then we should accelerate that process rather than artificially propping up their skills with debt we can't service.

There will be a time for UBI, but that day hasn't come (Unemployment and Job Openings will be a clear indicator) of that.

Imagine if we propped up textile workers or blacksmith or shoe repairer just like we are planning to prop up artists, the world would be much worse.

Today anyone born in a Western Democracy has access to basic needs -- food, shelter, knowledge without having to do anything.

Once again, for every artist that rejects the $1000 sign-away-for-lifetime offer there are a 1000 who will accept.

Also at the end of the day, every human needs to offer what is value to the society. So even though I'm an extremely good pen-twirler, if the society doesn't value that, I need to change bedsheets (which is more valuable) to make money.

So, I'm not sure why you need to protect "great voice" over "great pen-twirling" skills

OTOH, there are lot of IT teams that are truly bloated

There are lots of very talented struggling singers and musicians around the world who make $0 with their skills.

They would be happy to get $1000 for signing away their amazing voice and music talent for a large corp who can spend $1 Billion collecting all kinds of voices.

If Mega Corp hires someone who can imitate Elvis and if they use it in their training data, it is completely fair game

Techies has conquered human intelligence (at least the creative part of it) and they have the right to use it however they choose.

It's as good as a right as an artist

Counterfeits are bad only because the quality was usually much lower than the original. But if counterfeits / copies are of equal quality, I should have the option to buy it as long as it is labelled as such

Yeah, if everyone waited for perfection, we'd still be in stone ages.

Thank god for the first fish that swam out of the water and didn't wait for perfection

LLMs will make average and below average writers / marketers / PR to become extremely good.

You no longer can mock "Please do the needful" from $1 / hr employees from India. They will be communicating at the same level as an average American and the smart ones can completely take over large fields.

A single person, can wear multiple hats and not get blocked.

This can apply at global scale of at least 4 Billion.

Just because you lack imagination doesn't mean it isn't good

Bear Cave is a short seller. Their fundamental business is to take a short position, publish a 'report' and hope gullible people react to it.

Mission Accomplished!

These are opportunities to buy ABNB

Wow!, do you know what the Ms in 3M mean?

summarizing is different from generating and different from searching

Yes, many humans make irrational decisions like you

every good and service created need additional maintenance/fixing/organizing. It also increases complexity

Yes and No.

Output always creates more work, due to second law of thermodynamics (entropy). So, the more output you have, the more work you need to fight entropy. May be the Robots can deal with entropy too, but we aren't there yet.

So, AI will increase need of workforce / labor

Humans have enslaved stronger men than the owner before.

Humans have hired smarter men than the owner before.

Most of us are self-aware that I'm not that important to be specifically targeted.

At the end of the day, where there is attention, there will be ads. All you are fighting for should they show you relevant ads or irrelevant ads.

People who live a privileged life and have nothing else important going on in their life choose this hill to die on.
