i imagine that paying out would set a precedent or provide future discoverable evidence that they want to avoid. fighting (and winning) might have allowed them to continue their chat bot system without needing to change anything.

i did this for a while (non military) and the entire reason was i found the motion to read the watch much more ergonomic. reading an "outside" watch requires twisting my arm or lifting my elbow in a somewhat uncomfortable movement. on the inside felt like an easier movement to read the dial.

tried to find an article describing the wider instances that the author mentions

"Beeper Mini users find Macs banned from iMessage network" https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/01/14/beeper-mini-users...

"disable its tokens" "freezing 326 wallets" no indication from this article that the tether has been seized / transferred

would love to read more if you have a link [edit: re CIA connection]

maybe not the distinction you meant but the UK is still in Europe (the continent) and to me, European is a word based on location not membership of the European Union (which the UK left)

oops yeah, sounds absurd, i was falling asleep when i wrote it. p sure i was thinking about the first few months of covid lockdowns in the US as a comparison when i was writing the reply

perhaps not rights to have a job in general but there is value in thinking about this at least at the national scale. people need income to pay taxes, they need income to buy the stuff that other people sell. if all the people without jobs have to take their savings out of the banks then banks can't loan as much money and need to charge higher interest rates. etc etc

if 30% of the working population loses their jobs in a few months there will be real externalities impacting the 70% who still have them because they don't exist in a vacuum.

maybe everything will balance itself out without any intervention eventually but it feels to me like the rate of unprecedented financial ~events~ is only increasing and with greater risks requiring more intervention to prevent catatastrophe or large scale suffering

from one perspective we already have fully autonomous cars, it's just the making them safe for humans and fitting them into a strict legal framework for their behavior that needs finishing before they're released to the general public (comma.ai being a publicly available exception)

wow this ticks so many boxes for me, really cool !

would gladly watch a full length video of it working. i'm already imagining a future where some guy with a big plot of land has solar powered electric heavy machines building him a gigantic dirt pyramid non-stop. (hopefully there are more practical uses too lol like assembling flood barriers)

i imagine that the current setup drives more ad views than what this tweet proposes : (

it's a sad thing i notice in so many sites and apps that the tiny chance of getting some money out of the small % of people who click the pop up ad or choose to sign up for the email list or whatever incentivizes the company to provide a worse user experience for the rest of the users

edit: i guess context matters though. if i'm driving with my phone on the dash, having a one click "gas station" button is pretty nice. in an ideal world, the phone would determine when im driving and only show the button then

i'm not a fan of adobe but they are an industry standard and have a deal for 50% off the full suite 1 year plan which strikes me as a decent deal

a company could derive value from increased headcount if investors or shareholders perceive it as a valuable metric and reward the company with more money or a higher valuation regardless of other metrics.

i wonder if companies have seen increased valuations from saying they are hiring for tons of positions without actually following through on the actual hiring

is he pro unions and employee owned companies ?

thanks, i really enjoyed watching it

good points. on second thought, i should give them due credit for building a brand reputation as being "best" that will continue even if they aren't the best at some point, which will keep a lot of people with them. that's in addition to their other advantages that people will stay because it's easier than learning a new platform and there might be lock-in in terms of it being hard to move a trained gpt, or your chat history to another platform.

i appreciate your confidence and would love to know how far you would go with the guarantee ! it makes me realize that there is at least one avenue for some level of trust about gpt accuracy and that's my general awareness of how much written content on the topic it probably had access to during training.

i think maybe your earlier comment was about the average trustworthiness of all podcasts vs the same for all gpt responses. i would probably side with gpt4 in that context.

however, there are plenty of situations where the comparison is between a podcast from the best human in the world at something and gpt which might have less training data or maybe the risks for the topic aren't eating an uncooked turkey but learning cpr wrong or having an airbag not deploy

they definitely do but i think in podcasts i generally have a better ability to evaluate how much trust i should place in what i'm hearing. i know if i'm listening to a professional chef podcast, i can probably trust they will generally be right talking about how they like to bake a turkey. if i'm listening to the hot wings guy interview zac efron i know to be less blindly trusting of their info on astrophysics.

with chatgpt i don't know it's "experience" or "education" on a topic and it has no social accountability motivating it to make sure it gets things right so i can't estimate how much i should trust it in the same way.

i don't think that's really any brand loyalty for OpenAI. people will use whatever is cheapest and best. in the longer run people will use whatever has the best access and integration.

what's keeping people with OpenAI for now is that chatGPT is free and GPT3.5 and GPT4 are the best. over time I expect the gap in performance to get smaller and the cost to run these to get cheaper.

if google gives me something close to as good as OpenAI's offering for the same price and it pull data from my gmail or my calendar or my google drive then i'll switch to that.

i think this is unlikely given Musk's warnings about the dangers posed by AI

i'm not sure i've ever seen an ad that i considered helpful, useful, or was grateful to see

i get the dream and i buy things all the time but for me ads don't make that buying experience easier because i dont trust any of the content in them so it doesn't save me any time on researching what i want to buy. i'd rather have irrelevant ads because maybe they are easier to ignore and they won't serve as a constant reminder of how much data companies have on me. seeing an ad for something i recently searched on a different company's site generally makes me unhappy.

i think even just masking the background with a static image for a few of the scenes would be a gigantic improvement to hide the inconsistent quality of each frame

i wonder if people are buying these to meet minimum spend requirements for credit card sign up bonuses and reselling right away("manufactured spend")

An elegant weapon, for a more... civilized age

thanks for linking. interestingly, despite producing the most renewable energy as an absolute measure, apparently Texas is 18th out of US states in terms of what percentage used comes from renewable sources at 26%.

in general you would think this is just a DRM race then between tesla and unlockers. however, with so many of tesla's features existing outside the car, tesla has a lot of leverage. a music cd or blu ray is generally finished content. a tesla is constantly getting software patches and most owners use the app which i'm sure is going through teslas servers

is it reasonable for tesla to lock you out of the app or software updates if the software hash doesn't match what they provide ? would it be okay for them to void the warranty if you run software they didn't provide ?

i dont have a settled opinion on software unlockable stuff. in general i think users should be able to hack it without repercussions. however, thinking about the concepts you present i had some hypotheticals. if tesla does all the self driving processing outside the car, it feels a little reasonable to pay them for their processing. but what if they just moved the heat seating processing out of the car (comparing the actual temperature to the desired temperature and modulating the power) ? that would seem unreasonable to me because the car is fully capable of doing it. So then what if tesla ships an intentionally terrible processor so that most data processing happens outside the car ? maybe it's reasonable again . ..

no point to this, just thinking out loud

as a layman, i imagine for someone at the scale required it may not be worth the risk or the added effort vs paying or using a different model but it'd be funny if we see companies creating a subsidiary that just acts as a web-passthrough to "legalize" llama2 output as training data

i wonder if they could include some marker prompt and response that wouldn't occur "naturally" from any other model or training data
