I think Facebook lost a similar lawsuit recently where you had to accept that they can use your data or pay to access the site. And it was found illegal in the EU.
The problem is that it takes years and users don't wait for years. There should be a way to harm these companies more on the EU level.
It allows technical folk to live wherever they’d like as long as they’re working remotely.
Turns out a simple water cooler technology is enough. We are all back to office because of efficiency.
I doubt that. They cannot stop me from downloading movies and series. They cannot stop me from betting or using crypto. It's kinda hard to find a single thing they are able to stop me from doing online and I'm not even trying that hard.
There is no way to stop these so just lets get going. The sooner we have age and ID verification on every single website and app the sooner we will have a working decentralised internet that avoids it.
Absolutely nothing. In fact I'm trying to enjoy the things I can while it lasts.
Yes, and Google purchased the technology, did not invent it.
That used to be once in a lifetime event. Now we have temperatures like that two or three times every decade and soon it's going to be a normal summer temperature.
Yeah, that seems like our only realistic solution to the climate crisis.
No, but did any of the other big companies? Google literally found the transformer architecture but had no idea what to do with it.
As a European I still prefer US over China.
The baseline is forever gone. Good luck convincing people to contribute to StackOverflow v2 after this.
I'm not convinced that me copying is making it easier for the next guy to copy it. But you are asking the right question. And if the AI hype is real then the customer won't pay the big company premium for software and even small one dev, no overhead companies will be competing with each other.
That was true before. Who wants to live on their saving for three years to build a product that might flop and do all the extra accounting and legal stuff.
But now it takes 3 months with AI, making a business and charging money has never been easier. Legal is a problem, but AI is a big help there as well.
They should think about what happens when expectations are so high that a single dev must deliver and maintain multiple products. What stops that single dev from leaving and offering the same product on his own.
I'm not sure this is a real problem. Google/Apple already has the world mapped out thanks to our photos in the cloud, and we literally let Tesla and others drive cars everywhere recording everything.
Pokemon Go does not really incentivises this activity. We get a poffin... Nice to have but does not worth the hassle of scanning and looking stupid on the street.
Ok, I guess there are some weird benchmarks where they managed to squeeze out an exponential. But even with Google's, OpenAI's or Anthropic's own benchmark it's a linear improvement between models.
He wrote this in 2024 before reasoning models came out. Remember how ChatGPT was in 2024? Do you think this person is someone who gets predictions right?
Any benchmark on AI shows that it gets better linearly. So his prediction was correct. There is no exponential AI improvement anywhere.
OpenAI said that GPT-5 was too dangerous to release... And look where we are now. It's mostly hype.
That's definitely a lot of work. That consuming a week worth of tokens sounds reasonable.
How are you using it to reach the limit so quickly? I'm 13% at a 10x plan and I have used it for hours every day for the last 5 days. I never hit a limit.
I think I would like that as well. The problem is that if we bake an LLM into HW and make it cheaper and very efficient to run, then all games will have the same AI slop content, which could get boring pretty fast. The alternative is that these cards should load a different / fine-tuned LLM per game, but then we already have GPUs for that and today's LLMs are nowhere near good enough at the size which a GPU can run.
I'm pretty sure that by now almost everybody know that anything you put online is monetised. I'm also 100% sure they sell my location data as well. I just don't care. Not my responsibility to stop it.
But this is images. I submitted it one time and I'm pretty sure that was hundreds of images. You basically walk around the POI and it takes a LOT of images of the POI. 600 scans / player would be insane.
Haha :D Good tip, I will try that too.
I like Pokemon Go and play almost every day. I did this scan one time and then stopped. The rewards are not worth the hassle. I don't think many players are doing it. It's just very weird to stand somewhere and scan an object.
I also wouldn't say 'unknowingly trained', it's pretty obvious what it does, and I think the game even tells you that they want to understands how the POI looks like in 3D.
I'm not sure. How common is it to review the outsourced development team's code? My guess is that there is rarely any review. They usually ship the whole software and are responsible for it.
Even if they have an army of senior engineers, reviewing AI generated code is fundamentally different than reviewing code written without AI. The change is usually larger, looks good on the surface and there are stupid mistakes in it. It's like reviewing someone's code whose only goal is to get an approval on the change.
Who cares, it's my browser, it is for me to decide what I run, not for eBay. LLM, AdBlock or whatever else I want I will run it.
It's usually the children's safety, porn, piracy or protection from some foreign enemy. But does it really matter?
If you really don't care you might voice a quiet objection and then just implement the garbage your boss asked for.
This works in theory, but the problem is that some jobs are complex and require thinking. These jobs will attract people who do not like to be a slaves. They want to enjoy their work, do something good and feel good while doing it. The slave like job mentality you mention has severe limitations on what it can achieve.
