I'd imagine the quadruple revenue they collected this year would be able to tide them over for a manufacturing cycle or two.

If anything, it's the tragedy of econ 101.

How? They weren't doing poorly before 2026, and as far as I can tell, their profits have risen dramatically.

Yeah, they've definitely got some recurring tooling/infrastructure problems around the models.

Of course, they are choosing the jurisdiction for their data centers partly based on what laws are in place.

Did you try the tutorial?

I found the MCP extension for Pi to work fine.

Do you not know what .gov is?

My guess is, it's because you sounded like an LLM in a few phrases there.

That's true, my comment was not correct.

This is true. If they aren't showing the details, it's because the details make them look worse.

In logic, "if not A, then not B" is equivalent to "if B, then A." That's what the contrapositive is - it has the same truth value as the original statement.

Perhaps I am being overly-literal here, but my failure is not one of logic.

No. Laws bind the people under the jurisdiction of the US, but the Constitution binds the US government in what it may do to anyone.

I don't think this is a good argument to make in general, as the contrapositive is that if it has good engineering, it was a good idea to build.

For example, nuclear weapons are certainly well-engineered, but I think it's reasonable to disagree on if they were a good idea or not.

Zero of your links talk about China pushing anti-AI sentiment, as far as I can tell.

> I'm not asking about morality or ethics. Does it make sense to make this scenario (Craigslist ad) illegal?

Why shouldn't we consider morality or ethics in what we decide is illegal?

Likewise, poorer customers are less able to avoid this kind of price discrimination at the grocery store.

If you walk or take the bus to the grocery store, you have fewer grocery stores to shop around for a deal at. If you're living paycheck to paycheck, you're less able to stock up on, say, cold medicine, when you see a good deal (and more likely to pay the "we know you're sick" price). And if you're time-poor (because you're working two jobs, and neither are the kind you can browse the Internet at while your code is compiling), you're less able to do comparison shopping, or notice that the price of what you need is always more expensive than when you don't.

Not sure if I'm missing some sarcasm in your post - apologies if so. But as always, if it actually worked, they'd just be making money off of their many million-follower accounts, instead of telling you how to do it.

They're buying the credibility of the influencers.

Influencers have the greatest influence on their audience, especially repeat viewers who follow or subscribe to them. You need to establish credibility with an audience before you're worth anything to the marketers. This takes time to build.

OpenAI's hypothetical robot influencers have no audience.

Well, I haven't tried asking my open-weight LLM for the FBI employee database. I imagine most people haven't.

Tinfoil hat theory - the "malware" and the blog post are written by the same LLM agent, intended only to drive views to a blog rather than accomplish anything malicious.

The tenants might have a bit more money to claw back if the landlord wasn't extracting predatory fees in excess of what the renter was signing up for.

There's a lot of reader-mode extensions out there - I'm not sure which ones are good nowadays.

Makes sense - there's lots of ways to do it wrong. If you crop a jpeg and re-save it as a jpeg, you'll introduce artifacts.

Yeah, you're right. Writing a program to solve ciphers with dictionary keys was an assignment in my intro to cryptography course - there's a couple of easy tricks you can do on the output to rapidly filter to the right solution.

That's Huawei's Android fork, right? Is it available on devices outside of China? I'm not seeing an obvious place to buy a device running it.

Not to mention how it seems to be standard practice to bomb weddings that one military commander happens to be attending.

The US has found out that it can commit war crimes as much as it wants, and nobody is going to stop it.

Faster than light? Do you think they're living on Mars or something?

It's pretty similar to music, yeah. Or perhaps music can be similar to poetry. Just this morning I was re-reading the lyrics for "Pale Green Things" & "Woke Up New" by The Mountain Goats. There's a sort of specificity in intention that the form tends to end up dictating, that can really carry a rich emotional context or metaphor more directly into the listener's brain.

(Of course, prose is sort of like a superset of poetry - it's not a hard dividing line. You may find especially poetic lines in your favorite longform works, especially in good fiction books.)

I do think that many English teachers do a poor job of encouraging a love, or even understanding, of poetry. One of my highschool teachers was in love almost with categorizing the forms of poetry - sonnets and sestets and villanelles, and seemed to think that if we learned the rules about what lines had to rhyme or which syllables to stress, we'd enjoy poetry. I hated it! But then the next year, even against this backdrop of learned avoidance, my teacher was so in love with the ability of poetry to communicate - the unfolding of a few words into meaning like a flower in bloom - something clicked. He focused almost not at all on the structure of poetry, but rather on finding works that spoke to you. I'm still not a lover of poetry, even now, but I have poems I appreciate.

No, it's a joke on the headline. "Names son."
