Yeah, a slice of this is technology related, but it's really a policy issue. It's probably easier to manage with a tighter team. Maybe I'm taking team size for granted.

What's the ratio of people who things the right way vs not? I mean, is it a matter of giving them feedback to remind them what a "quality PR" is? Does that help?

there’s one depressing anecdote that I keep on seeing: the junior engineer, empowered by some class of LLM tool, who deposits giant, untested PRs on their coworkers—or open source maintainers—and expects the “code review” process to handle

Reading up on the history of the Unitary Executive Theory may provide some background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitary_executive_theory In this case, Trump is easily bought and isn't very concerned with gove

Some brands are better than others. I bought a Sony Bravia TV less than a year ago. The nags are infrequent (maybe every fifth time I turn it on) and unobtrusive (a toast notification pops up in the upper right corner of the screen for a fe

These people only think in terms of money. Their bank accounts will tell them if it was the right decision or not. Someone like Zuck actively isolates themselves: from buying huge tracts of land to literally isolate themselves, building und

I'm wondering if at some level we always knew it would end up like this. Persecuting marginalized people and supporting authoritarian regimes is the logical path for capitalism, yes.

Like I thought the whole point of these stupid things was that any John Q off the street could make awesome videos? Have you played around with stuff like sora 2 or veo 3 or seen the work of regular John Q's who have? In general, the

I'm not sure what from my comment suggested pausing technological progress, unless you assume technical progress can only be achieved by exploiting workers. While that is happening, I don't think this it is a requirement. What we

Seems like one could have created a cheaper, higher quality ad with real actors. Of course, real actors have unions and part of the point of AI is to make labor weaker.

If that was your point, I suggest you post more clearly in the future, because your post did not suggest this.

I specifically mentioned people on this website . Based on comments I regularly come across on this website, I don't think the person you're responding to is an outlier. I would hope we can stay on topic.

So many times on this website, people say, "I will pay for the service to get rid of advertising." You pay for this service and rides aren't getting any cheaper. It is naive to think any company isn't finding ways to mon

In my experience, most people, especially execs who are negotiating the licensing deals, want Copilot. Even if they are underwhelmed after using it, at that point, MS doesn't care. They already have your money.

Microsoft did that because it thought you were too stupid to understand that the Xbox 2 was the same generation of the ps 3 .

It doesn't have to be exact, but it's counter productive when it is clearly and meaningfully incorrect though. That's the problem with the two dimensional [0,1] scale as well.

That line of reasoning doesn't follow as RGB implies there are exactly three measures, which isn't the case.

It's the punchline to a meme. This is one example: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRgeiEh... I don't think it's quite the same as calling yourself or someone else a "friend of Dorot

I don't think the 3rd metaphor fits. rgb values still points to a single color, which maps back to a single value on a 0 -> 1 or red -> violet continuum. It's more apt to describe it like a multi channel audio mixer. Many di

I think we must think about what the downside of kids maybe being introduced to porn really. Realistically, it is pretty low. Given that, we shouldn't really be giving up anything to try and stop it. I was exposed to porn several ways

On the one hand, confirming a new piece of information with a second source is good practice (even if we should trust our family implicitly on such topics). On the other, I'm not even a dog person and I understand the etiquette here. S

It is worth pointing out that ownership of AI is becoming more and more consolidated over time, by elites . Only Elon Musk or Sam Altman can adjust their AI models. We recognize the consolidation of media outlets as a problem for similar r

Speaking of "average", every political debate moderator should ask the candidates where they shop and how much milk and eggs cost. Ask them how much it is to fill up their car's gas tank. I don't necessarily think sortit

You still have to prove if raising wages will reduce corruption, and if so, prove that it is reasonably cost effective. Keep in mind, there are already independently wealthy people involved in government in the US, and they still engage in

Publicly funded elections & doing things like repealing citizens united would address the expense. It is very time consuming though.

It's an interesting idea. Is that what's happening? The article doesn't suggest it. People like Richard Burr, Chris Collins or Nancy Pelosi were certainly wealthy enough cover these expenses. It didn't stop them from see

I don't understand how paying them more will curtail this. This is a mixture of a crime of convenience and greed. It's not a Les Mis situation where they need these stock picks to survive (or even thrive). The current US Administr
