And yet, that doesn't take away their responsibility to carry their load in projects. One person is never responsible for the entire output in any organization. Even if some would like to see it that way (whether they imagine they ough

Yep, compared to beating the Turing test, the progress has been linear with exponentially growing investment. That's diminishing marginal returns.

> Just to get things right. The big AI LLM hype started end of 2022 with the launch of ChatGPT, DALL-E 2, .... GPT-2 was released in 2019, GPT-3 in 2020. I'd say 2020 is significant because that's when people seriously consider

It's doubtful if there even is a race anymore. The last significant AI advancement in the consumer LLM space was fluent human language synthesis around 2020, with its following assistant/chat interface. Since then, everything has

My argument was that explicitly agreeing not to collect someone's data for AI training, then collecting data for AI training, is lying. You argued that collecting data without explicit agreement is, actually, not lying. Arguing with an

I wonder if society (and by extension, our laws) will ever again make a meaningful effort to penalize liars, manipulators, and thieves. I worry the answer is no.

I speak about the core philosophy or set of values more. Both people who are generally pessimistic in their world view and typically optimistic can be jolly and grouchy, depending on their mood. I am talking more about their overarching out

"A cynic is never wrong, but an optimist is always right" is a saying my friends and I have. Chronic pessimists and cynics often see and say much truth about the world. But the optimists will succeed much more in their goals, busi

At least they tried something genuinely new and exciting. I would say that is an admirable gamble. A real alternative seems to be buying a social media site to radicalize and enshittify it.

That is also true. There is a very significant disincentive to charge back against sellers protected by Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, PayPal, Stripe, and other similar payment gateways. The consumer protections are, therefore, eroded.

What do you mean? The app can use Apple's system and its own. If the developers don't want your money on terms fair to you, you don't buy. Some things are relatively easy to refund via Apple, but not all of them. It's ne

Plus, you'd be giving Google your government ID. A company that collects and trades thousands of your behavioral metrics as their core business model. The Baltics have handled this better with a Smart ID system[0] that also allows cryp

You're right, we can't really know. But on HN, there are always a few comments to that effect whenever there's a larger discussion about EU consumer protections and anti-monopoly laws or penalties. What % of the public holds

I don't remember who wrote the report, but a recent games industry report made its way to my desk, and it stated that considerably more games were removed from mobile stores than added over the last few quarters. I think that could be

Many people blame the EU for targeting US companies when it passes anti-monopoly and pro-consumer laws, or penalizes the companies for breaking them. Now that US courts are doing it more, it seems that corporations abusing their monopoly po

It's probably pretty intentional. A huge number of people use ChatGPT as an enabler, friend, or therapist. Even when GPT-3 had just come around, people were already "proving others wrong" on the internet, quoting how GPT-3 ag
