The simplest solution is often the best. In this case, Sam did something that was so dramatically bad resulting in a high level of legal peril, which created an existential risk for OpenAI and Microsoft, or something in his personal life came to light that was beyond the pale. I love the AGI theories but in all likelihood it’s probably a boring thing: he made a terrible choice in his life somewhere and it’s caught up to him, with major consequences.

Context: I was a UPS drivers helper during college during the holiday seasons. This job entailed running large amounts of holiday volume packages to houses from the truck.

I speculate that this is because the role of driver is a high-trust and critical operations role. This person has to reliably execute package delivery every single day regardless of the highly variable problem spaces that emerge. Without the last X mile capacity that a driver brings, all of the infra at UPS doesn’t provide value. For example a driver wakes up early every day, rain or shine (or sleet), and is accountable for making sure a truck is loaded correctly at the dock, and every package on the route is delivered. This can include packages of diamonds insured for 10’s of thousands, to hundred plus pound boxes.

I only rode shotgun for a few weeks a year and it was hard work. From that POV it a seems like a fair wage for the role.

This headline is misleading as it appears HERE has no mobile application of any appreciable scale (#28 on iOS for navigation).

Like many others this feels bad to me. I was previously forced to upgrade to 7 so the Chrome extension worked and as a result purchased (again!) separate Windows and Mac desktop licenses. In trying to navigate the site to find out how to buy a desktop only client I encountered the multiple dark patterns to make this nearly impossible. It is no wonder that “97% of people prefer the subscription” since standalone was basically hidden. I love the product experience 1Password provides, I simply prefer managing my own vault (via Dropbox). Based on feedback here I’m going to evaluate Bitwarden. Sigh.
