As another brown guy with kids my anecdote is that I was discriminated by my high school counselor[1] but I took that as a life lesson. The lesson wasn't that white people are evil, but that bias is real and I have to be aware of what&

The difference is that with other tech if you have enough capital you can try to compete. With AI capital is not enough, you need oceans of data which is only available to the few companies that were able to position themselves early enough

It's also really hard to find just plain descriptions of what all the different federal departments are doing and what it means. It's mostly considered too boring for general news unless someone has been able to generate some dram

I don't have data but my hunch is that being a germophobe leads to worse long term health outcomes. Your immune system needs the exercise.

This will reduce the power of Tile's finding network which will make it less effective for Android users. Why would they? To not be evil. They need to be stopped.

That's pretty much the same as AGPL. A tell about OSI's biases is that AGPL and SSPL are basically the same but since Amazon's propaganda engine ramped up against SSPL it was labeled as somehow completely out of bounds.

I don't value OSI's stamp of approval since they were explicitly founded to coopt FSF's effort and make it more corporate friendly. Obviously corporate lawyers would disagree with me. A license that allows all typical freedom

Yea, M1's win is more in locking up TSMC's 5nm supply than its genius design. AMD has been struggling to get their slice of TSMC 7nm capacity.
