Once they decided to block showing new posts for tags, leaving only the so-called "top posts", I stopped using Instagram as it stopped making any sense to me, i.e. I could no longer find anything interesting.

The board drama part and key people leaving seem oddly familiar.

by benterix 2y ago
Yeah, I have the same feeling. It seems like operating GPT-4 is too expensive, so they decided to call it "legacy" and get rid of it soon, and instead focus on cheaper/faster 4o, and also chain its prompts to call it a new mo

Of course. That basically divides the market into 3 segments: (1) companies that fully enforce RTO, (2) those that partly enforce RTO ("hybrid"), and (3) those that give you a choice - full WFH or coming to the office when you wis

I can't agree more. I once had a lazy boss that hated putting his ideas in order and expected to act on oral orders that were vague on details. I would always ask at the end of his long stream-of-consciousness speech, "Oh, that&#x

I'm very sorry to say this but if you live in a country that is killing others for what they say, AI is probably not your biggest problem. And I don't believe an easy solution exists.

Wait, so you can now set up a hard cap on your spending and they guarantee they won't charge you more? It would be exciting but I don't believe they actually allow that especially as their competition also refused to implement tha

I guess it depends on your experiences. My leftist friends are very much involved in co-ops and in general what you say it's true. However, when we talk about the actual socialism, that is the political system in Eastern Europe from 19

It's just a question of semantics. For communists, socialism is just a necessary phase on the way to communism, and communist claim that communism is the highest possible model as "everybody would receive what they need". The

In other words, why did it always fail? Short answer: because of the human factor. There was always someone who'd abuse nicely-sounding ideas to an extreme degree. There is also something else: if you accept violence or not. If you do,
