Is HuggingFace reaching out to the FBI for assistance to prosecute OpenAI? What does the claim that large companies can commit large frauds have to do with anything?

Yeah, intent matters. Evading security matters. It's a big point that his actions were intentional and not passive or accidental - not that IP infringement by corporations isn't its own discussion.

Social media exposes weakpoints in human nature - mob mentalities, comparisons of global norms over local ones. People died and many more are likely disturbed and divided. India comes to mind as some of the earliest worst-case examples: ht

I typically buy the newest model outright with a trade-in. Curious if this'll be cheaper. Probably not. Might see if this pencils out for work uses - easier to establish and budget a boring lease program than have purchases of phones a

Broadly, recurring models are profitable right now once you get that agreement set. People don't reason about $100/mo the same that they reason about $1000 upfront, nor do they generally consider total cost of ownership. They&#x27

There's the calorie. Not always a good metric of health, but it's still a signal. $/cal varies meaningfully between home cooking, Costco, Chipotle, fast casual, sit-down, frozen meals, etc.

Your comment strongly implies AI is responsible for 50C temps. AI is at the top of an industrialization iceberg going back a century, with uneven countries as beneficiaries and externalities.

People would become electricians if it’s sustained, but trades tend to have boom and bust cycles. Additionally, you have significant hurdles to becoming one. You have to qualify to be an apprentice, be taken on under a journeyman or higher,
