People not from North America and Western Europe exist.

How?

Safety in the context of a nuclear reactor concerns human lives.

“Safety” in the context of LLMs concerns not offending certain individuals.

As opposed to future prejudices?

I agree: the trials are not speedy enough. None of us will live long enough to take advantage of the endgame version of this.

I'm not convinced it existed before - not to the extent where it actually harmed people. But you know what will harm people for certain and a lot? "Ending H-1B ASAP". So why end it (let alone make it worse by making H-1B workers significantly more exploitable) instead of increasing the unemployment grace period, making travel less of a gamble, giving the worker more flexibility with work schedule and location?

So erase that worry for them of having to go back to their home countries instead of doing the opposite and kicking them out? Extend the unemployment grace period from 60 days to a year. Make travel easier. Make it so that companies can't exploit them. What does the admin do instead? Introduce an exorbitant fee, making

- travel a gamble on whether you'll be able to re-enter

- a layoff pretty much the end of your ability to stay and work in the US

... in other words, making the workers far, far more exploitable. Make that make sense.

Also, why shouldn't those companies be forced to compete with US wages? Do only Americans get to have nice things and a strong purchasing power?

Do you think the European workers were in the right? Is the solution to kick out (let alone slaughter) the Chinese, or is it to make them less exploitable by companies?

I don't care about "every international company" or any company. Kicking out immigrants is cruel to people.

Now, with the $100K fee which has turned H-1B workers into indentured servants, they could and will be used for that, sure. But prior to the EO, they had the freedom to leave the country and reenter whenever they'd like to, so long as they were employed or had an offer on hand. Getting laid off wasn't the end of the world. Travelling wasn't a huge risk. Switching employers was relatively stress-free. While still not on par with that of citizens, the leverage and the bargaining power was there, preventing the longer workweeks under worse conditions issue you're referring to. The concern trolls claiming otherwise had no concrete evidence to show for their claims.

I never said it's racist, unsure where you got that from, but it absolutely is scapegoating, when the issue isn't immigrants, who are powerless and cannot fight back, but the admin that's vilifying them while being the actual villain.

Or it’s a way for the less fortunate (geographically) to seek a better future.

They more or less got rid of it last September, yet the job market has only worsened. Scapegoating minorities, whether it be trans people, brown people, Muslims or immigrants, doesn’t work. All it does is destroy lives.

You give away your bias when it is the other way around.

How so?

lol at the guy calling out taking an imaginary book seriously getting downvoted, not the guy taking an imaginary book seriously.

Really? Of the two, you chose to name Karp as the fascist, not Thiel?

It's not a scraper though, is it? Last time I checked it was API-based.

Huawei’s CANN is fully open and supposedly a drop-in replacement for CUDA. The latter could make it a supеrior option to either AMD or Intel.

I'm seeing the opposite happening.

The ability to focus to the point of obsession or find joy in boring repetitive tasks associated with autism helped before the rise of AI and automation. Now, interpersonal communication and creativity (not in the sense of art but a lack of rigidity in one's thinking) are far more valuable - the things people with autism famously lack.

Are you a therapist?

Am I the only one with the opposite experience? I can’t remember the last time GPT told me I was right. It always finds something to nitpick (sometimes wrongly).

Maybe it’s OpenAI being aware of the “attachment” issue and combating it by overcompensating in the opposite direction.

I got the impression they were kick-started by Anglo countries (the Five Eyes, whatever you wanna call them), then gradually picked up by the rest.

They are initiated by the same people - the government - and pursue the same goal - mass surveillance. They should 100% be fought against and grouped together.

There's an ocean of difference between your device changing behavior based on a flag set by individual sites and your device using a blacklist set by some list maintainer - the main difference being that the latter is utterly useless due to being an example of badness enumeration.

Adversary? Unsure if you've been living under a rock, but the US and Europe are the ones starting wаrs and destabilizing half the world. They are the actual bad guys.

I'll get a Chinese company's phone over an American or Euro company's phone (is the latter ever a thing?) any day.

iPhone SoCs are very powerful. MacBook SoCs are built on them.

Memory is the bottleneck with all Apple products. I have zero issues in terms of compute with the iPhone 12 Mini and could use it for years to come if the SoC were the bottleneck, but it can't even hold two apps in memory.

This would be a very competent computer if it came with 16 GB.

You have to be very precise with your finger drags because it loves snapping back to the original position. Gbroard doesn’t suffer from this. Part of the reason is it doesn’t do the “free-floating” cursor thing - which I’ve never understood the point of anyway. It’s fancy but useless in 99% of cases on a phone.

This one has always confused me as well. Tapping the screen, as the other commenter suggested, dismisses the whole thing too, so I have to fish for the stop button in the notifications every time.

Maybe there’s “the Apple way” that we’ve yet to discover.

No, that’s a common cope.

Not AI. Not bots. Not Indians or Pakistanis. Not Kremlin or Hasbara agents. All the above might comprise a small percentage of it, but the vast majority of the rage bait and rage bait support we’ve seen over the past year+ on the Internet (including here) is just westerners being (allowed and encouraged by each other to be) racist toward non-whites in various ways.

What's the alternative? At least they don't comply with takedown requests, which can't be said about archive.org who remove everything even semi-controversial.

That's modern social media for you. Turn everything into ragebait.

I couldn't access it in private or regular.

Aww man you got me curious for a sec there.
