The EFF has long been a skin suit my dude, they're just here to dissipate and confuse opposition.

What is TSLA's valuation based on anymore? Maybe next week it'll be the moon colony they’ll have up and running in 2028.

The escalation of commitment scam, interesting to see it so effective when applied to AI.

Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.

They’re burning 30 million dollars a year on a site that’s torched over a billion since its inception. Just give the product manager one signup for their kpi before they/them are put out on the street.

You can't, it's very expensive and controlled now: https://www.tumblr.com/photomatt/696629352701493248/why-go-n...

What's the deal with bash history on macos anyway? It absolutely refuses to persist, no matter which combination of incantations are entered.

What “kinds of things” are “we” really worried about? Representative government, public referendums? Very much on what table?

No, perfectly sane. The party says there are five fingers.

Phind-70B is also less "lazy" than GPT-4 Turbo and doesn't hesistate to generate detailed code examples.

OpenAI's leaked prompt literally encourages it to try harder[1]:

Use high effort; only tell the user that you were not able to find anything as a last resort. Keep trying instead of giving up.

The regime doesn’t want people saying or thinking things they aren’t being currently told to say and think. The regime is technically not allowed to use the legal system directly to punish people for this quasi-crime but is very happy to ruin everything else in same pursuit. So why should a protocol for p2p financial transactions the regime doesn’t control be allowed to exist?

Porn can be an understandable concern because of the amount of chargebacks it can create for processors, though the excessive chargebacks should be the rule not the porn. Hate speech they never tried to explain afaik. FWIW repealing fair banking[1] was immediate priority for Biden up there with fortifying elections[2].

In the US the receiver gets unbanked without warning or explanation and permanently loses the ability to accept money through any service via systems like MATCH.

What if money gets sent to websites that host hate speech?

Incredible effort. Text of scroll is essentially "drink more Ovaltine" which is on theme.

Did they ever explain the logo thing? https://longform.asmartbear.com/logo/

What lawsuits? They send updated terms of service ahead of it so it’s all totally legal.

No, Tesla already sold these cars and took people's money. They continue to sell cars the same. This is about charging the existing and new customers $100/mo because it's a number Tesla thought of. It's not for extras it's for all non-legally-required safety functionality- e.g. the tablet screen, a/c, ability to adjust your seat.

How would it collapse? People will pay $100/mo instead of buying a new car and even then what would they buy? Other car companies will see Tesla getting free money and push their own updates the same.

Context: I recently had a set of lightbulbs lose all functionality a couple nights ago, now insisting I had to get an account, sign in with 15 character password with certain symbols and mixed case, receive constant marketing emails whether I accept them or not, accept terms of service numbering 10000+ words, and then re-pair the bulbs which could no longer be recognized anyway after long failure attempt cycles. Humiliation ritual complete, bulbs are now e-waste I guess.

$1000 Peloton bike signed out of account and insisted on payment to sign back in at all, though still functions as a $20 salvage bike without any functions.

Is it optimal for all companies to completely cripple products once they've been sold? What's holding them back here?

Yes, he’s the poster of the linked video.

Toner maintains that safety wasn’t the reason the board wanted to fire Altman. Rather, it was a lack of trust

Toner declined to provide specific details on why she and the three others voted to fire Altman from OpenAI

Does she see herself as more trustworthy? She can't even be bothered to give an excuse for the firing.

Someone like this couldn't be trusted in literally any function, how did she get a board seat on OpenAI?

Looks like AI art has the same issue with joystick buttons as with fingers

Pretty nuts, wasn't winamp like 5 people.

Sounds like a line from Office Space 2: 'My computer is a FireTV cube'

Is Forbes renegotiating their Oracle license and flexing on them here? 'We can write articles the nice way, or we can write them the not-so-nice way, so what's it going to be?'
