I think a better counterexample, rather than "hard drugs," is pornography. It's not that it's necessarily bad, or even that it is in a majority of cases, but people can definitely have negative relationships with it that

I think people in these comments are relying on stereotypes about who is likely to use these chat products and why. Whether AI "relationships" are toxic or healthy is going to depend on why and how people are using them. Here&#x27

On the bullet point 12, about OpenAI employee shares, does anybody have any experience with the weird structure of those? They receive PPUs? https://www.levels.fyi/blog/openai-compensation.html And the Board seems to h

What's odd is this letter was published after the announcement Altman took the Microsoft gig. So are those resignations in yet, or not?

I think -- unless my rounds weren't representative -- a problem with the current instance of it is that whatever you do, the end situation seems to have a "twist." Needs more randomization otherwise it's too easy to game

I have no idea why you were downvoted (wasn't me) and wasn't referencing it. I was referring to the circular logic of your reply to me where you imply that the very fact that I don't realize I'm being controlled is evide

Wow the very fact that someone disagrees with you must mean that you're right! You realize how insane and circular that is, right?

If you agree with me what they said about "control" and "lending my soul" is wrong, why pretend otherwise? If all they intended to say was that they don't like that if someone asks Alexa to play a playlist, that Ama

My experience hasn't been that my Alexa or that Siri tries to control me. I use it to set timers and play music and that's about it. On the generative AI front, OpenAI/Microsoft doesn't control me either. I use it as a c

You can be skeptical of it like the Verge or impressed by it like some in these comments, but either way it's good that Apple is showing you exactly what that means in practice. The transparency here is welcome and both Google and Appl

Can you show some evidence that GDP is more frequently revised downwards than upwards in the United States? Coming out of an uncertain economic time, my understanding is that estimates tend to be more conservative.

by elicash 3y ago
GDP measures the value of goods and services produced in the country. For the question you're interested in, you'd want to look at other measures like the deficit as a share of GDP. Which is trending badly in large part due to low

Here's a negotiations question: Is Google overpaying or underpaying for "default"? If you believe the price tag is so high because Google is secretly paying Apple to stay out of the market, then they'd be overpaying what

On (1), everyone in this case, even Microsoft, says yes Google is much better; they just say Google is better for unfair reasons. On (2), I think what the case said is that Microsoft would have had to pay more because it's smaller? But

The article reads to me like Microsoft either didn't think it was worth the high price, or that they couldn't sell the price tag to shareholders. And that contrary to just being an Apple thing, they also didn't want to pay Sa

I disagree. If I could only have one: Google's engineers, or their deal with Apple, I'd take the former. This is an easy choice for me, too. I think you are mischaracterizing their argument if you are suggesting that Google is say
