How have we gone from “the internet routes around damage” to “just connect it to a hallucinating, equivocating galaxy brain controlled by people who swear their employees to silence”?

IIRC It’s Steve Grand’s contention in Creation: Life And How To Make It that we will only get artificial consciousness with artificial biological drives.

Right -- that's what I meant by Kafakesque. Though it's a bit more Brazil than Kafka, I realised after I made a cup of tea.

> I like overkill in this case, its makes it a transparent device that completely gets out of the way. I would agree but it only stays out of the way of a single app at a time.

I don't know. Termius doesn't do that does it? (Background App Refresh I mean) The workaround Termius apparently uses is absurd (and rather amusing): it adds location tracking it doesn't really need. Because apps that have lo

Side note: yes, and no (apparently!) I am told if you use Stage Manager and you have the terminal app in the same stage as, say, your browser app or editor, it is not "in the background" as a process, even when it's occluded.

I love my (older) iPad Pro (it's my second Pro, fifth iPad). I liked the second Pencil, and this new one looks great. I also think iPadOS is now somewhat unjustifiably hamstrung and in some very arbitrary directions.

I agree wholeheartedly. As a photographer I am shocked to see other photographers who are AI proponents making the comparison to the beginning of the photography era. (Though it's usually the very bad photographers or those who haven&#

Honestly I don't know if whistleblower protections are really worth a damn -- I could be wrong. But would they not only protect the individual formally blowing the whistle (meeting the standard in the relevant law)? These non-disparage

"Consent isn't legally required"? I don't understand this point. If Google gave the data to OpenAI (which they surely haven't, right?), even then they'd not have consent from users. As far as I understand it, i

The great thing about the internet is you can look people up, and you can read the indictments. He has an unusual name. The current indictment is on the internet. And so is an indictment from 2002.

"Recidivist sex offender" strongly implies that this man is not in the "didn't harm anyone" bracket, no? It means there's a conviction before 2023.

An answer in the form of a question: why don't OpenAI executives want to talk about whether Sora was trained on Youtube content? (I should reiterate that I actually wrote "serious, possibly criminal")

This isn't about pettiness or thin skin. And it's not about mean words. It's about potential valid, corroborated criticism of misconduct. They can totally deal with appearing petty and thin-skinned.

It shouldn't be legal and maybe it isn't, but all schemes like this are, when you get down to it, ultimately about suppressing potential or actual evidence of serious, possibly criminal misconduct, so I don't think they are g

Almost every part of the story that has made OpenAI a dystopian unicorn is hyperbole. And now this -- a company whose employees can't tell the truth or they lose access to remuneration. Everyone's Allen Weisselberg. What's on

Totally normal, nothing to see here. Keep building your disruptive, game-changing, YC-applicant startup on the APIs of this sociopathic corporation whose products are destined to destroy all trust humans have in other humans so that everyon

I didn't suggest that the 404 was government advice. I imagine the advice was that they should not publish it in a way that UK readers can see it. I do think that it should be an honest response (at least a 403).

A quick side note for those interested: this is not the British ISP thing where certain sites don’t resolve in DNS (e.g. RT.com). This is not the British government blocking a site. This is apparently the New Yorker refusing to serve a page
