If people are using it presumably they're getting some value out of it which means that most objections to datacenters are NIMBYism and not some kind of principled stance. Datacenters are fine . They're better than most kind

I don't think that ANY project employs electricians and carpenters for long, because they are there to build something that will ideally last decades or more... I'm not even sure it's as simple as "stuff people don'

I'm sure this has already been pointed out to you, but this was an American citizen returning to America. This guy had rights under the 4th Amendment. No matter what the government claims, they do not have carte blanche to inspect dig

They qualified their support by "safety" which strikes me as very silly considering the nature of open weight models.

Yeah, the problem with bringing all this stuff under direct government control is that it's REALLY expensive to keep it maintained for residents in wildfire prone areas. SF is planning on buying out PG&E's assets, which will a

> That's a lie. First, because unions don't make it impossible to fire employees, but also because the ability to fire you for arbitrary (or even illegal) reasons does not force companies to pay you more. Removing that ability

No but it's still copyrighted content and subject to the same protections.

What's almost certainly going to happen is that the courts will decide the infringing party in that situation is the one who willfully caused the violation. Since most users of LLMs are not using them to run around copyright and this c

Ok, what about a human summarizing it or taking notes? What about a human indexing it for later searches? Does it matter if they use notecards or if they do it on a computer? What if they retouch a photo you've taken as a political mes

No, because these days we are quite explicit that the law binds us all. Citizen or not, legally present or not, criminal or not, every human being within the borders of the US (or any modern country) is entitled to the full protection of t

I am 100% sure that I make more than the average person in my role and level (tbh more money than I even thought I'd make in my life). Why should I support a union? If the company couldn't fire me they wouldn't pay me so muc

It might not be living large, but it's a very comfortable income for a single person in pretty much the whole region.

Nobody would expect their coffee to be almost boiling, everybody should expect an LLM to give slop answers from time to time. Even Steve Jobs died early because he took vibes-based advice instead of just listening to doctors. You can snark

Comcast does data caps everywhere except places where its customers have alternatives. It's insane that they're allowed to charge monthly for providing a speed and then also set the data caps at like ~3h of continuous full use.

No he's got a point, if your friend and OpenAI both preface their statements with "I'm not a doctor but..." then there is no reason for it to be ok when one does this and not the other. We're several years into havi

Because most authors don't make a ton of money from their books, and even a relatively low settlement from Anthropic is a large enough sum that they're OK with taking it.

I'm telling you what the law plainly says. I personally think that the exceptions for fair use made sense before the transformer was invented, and they still make sense now. The two main problems with copyright also haven't chang

This is a pretty common clause when a company open sources something that was previously locked away. The AOM AV1 codec has a similar rule for its patent pool to discourage trolling.

Since you didn't address the substance, I guess we'll never know :)
