I'm not sure and it was a few years ago. I faintly recall being able to do it online but there is a fair chance that I missremember.

Similar example from Germany: In one year I had some "extra income" besides my job and had to file a return and pay some extra money. The next year they asked me what my "extra income" was for that year and when the lett

You are of course correct that they could at any point in time decide to cancel the contracts and it's part of the political game to threaten to do so every few years. In practice they have few alternatives given their location as a la

"The Blue" was indeed amazing. Back then, I showed it to visitors at work (besides real projects) and it never failed to impress.

But that would only be an issue for the user feeding the openAI responses. According to OpenAI the actual text copyright or restriction "magically" vanish once they are used for training.

The future will most likely be "upload it to the cloud and ask the question there". Really sad but but it seems like most people seem to not care about privacy even for the most sensitive parts of their lives. Or even worse they m

Also regulators in on some of Twitters core markets (EU and US) are not to fond of ginormous Techconglomerates at the moment and might have a few words to say about that. In fact the EU recently passed laws to nip budding "market domin

Even if it were, which it isn't as others pointed out, sometimes free speech takes a backseat to other needs of society. In this case it's the desire to have an effective warning system for extreme events such as heavy weather. It

From the outside that's just weird. One can argue that attracting scientists and teachers with high wages and expensive toys is beneficial for research and education but it's hard to see how "professional" sports teams f

I would do too but apparently big companies doing search right now aren't interested. To me at least there is no indication that AI will fundamentally change that (unfortunately).

I wonder where Google ("improving quality to compete") and Open ai/Microsoft ("reducing quality to advertise") will end up meeting. If GPTSearch ends up as infested with spam and ads as Google it will be little more

Crypto has rules which Binance mostly ignore. Over time the rules of traditional finance and the rules of crypto will converge because they are really two sides of the same coin. Some outdated regulations will be removed and some new ones w

I'll continue to take whatever Musk says with a grain of sand. Thank you. For real though: He has proven time again that he lies on trivial matters. Regrettably my trust in him telling the truth is at rock bottom now. It used to be at

Tesla does have a Betriebsrat if I recall correctly. It was formed very early meaning before most of the Frontline employees were hired . There was criticism at the time that it was filled with people loyal to management rather than workers

You can certainly require fees to be paid. That wouldn't be unusal. Collection agencies are a thing and laws can be adopted to account for AI. Then it's pay x amount of money to use generative art. And SAAS services can be require

There is nothing inherently wrong with that but it's a lot more risky then saving up. Say after 10 months an unavoidable bill of $4k shows up and I got to pay it. If I'm saving up I can redirect that money. It sucks that I don&#x2

I agree it will be a process but the motivation to game the lists, comparisons and evaluation in the "natural" result parts will be enormous. If I search for "recipe for an apple pie" google (and the internet), has the i

How do these competitors finance their products? Historically people are very reluctant to directly pay for them and in any case providers might want to double dip on ads. Your local used car dealership knows a lot about cars. It's the

That's not search though. Those features will thrive when users pay for the usage. General search for anything that involves competing businesses will begin getting gamed immediately and any providers need to be better than Google in p
