If Twitter did the same thing, would it be spun so positively?

Sounds like a trial. Would be great for more governments to try new ideas & evaluate the results like any business might.

Seems slightly more acceptable than killing, but one step better would be having the purchaser maintain the existing product so that users are less impacted by Google's attention deficit disorder.

Even if the move goes smoothly, shouldn't they let customers know what they're signing up for?

Wouldn't this same principle apply to Google Domains?

"Install the app" walls might be super effective at destroying reengagement, though. I gave in and installed the Reddit app, but it simply doesn't work well enough or transition well enough from a Google search into the app.

Does it benefit OpenAI if people are using an "open source" OpenAI model versus any other "open source" model?

I wouldn't say you're entirely wrong about that trend, but that is clearly not why a16z is facing criticism here. What is large or successful about their crypto currency, web3 or nft endeavors?

From Waymo's perspective it is certainly desirable to have someone else paying for the cars. The problem is that when others spend on it, Waymo has more leverage over them if the cars are only going to work with the Waymo driver. Perfe

Ahhh yep. I remember Uber 2010 unopinionatedly just setting the pin directly on whatever the reading was from GPS. Stale or inaccurate GPS readings led to so much confused communication between drivers & passengers.

That's a good one. I remember lots of shenanigans about putting pins next to airports & then contacting the driver to get picked up at the airport on early Uber. Not sure this particular one would affect Waymo if they were going it

Someone has to spend it, though. Uber seem in even less of a position to be footing that bill.

What's an example of something for consumers that Uber 2023 does a lot better than Uber 2010, if the drivers behave entirely cooperatively? (since we're talking autonomous vehicles here)

Why would anyone take them up on it then? Is saving money the only dimension to it? What if the customer wants a new car?

They are literally adding sweeteners on a new deal because they are trying to entice customers rather than altering the deal.

by jfoster 3y ago
Not even just deals that involve Tesla, but all deals in general. Does anyone intentionally make a habit of conducting dealings that are not in their favor?

No, it was a sub-nominal flight, but a successful test. (assuming they got the data they needed in order to learn from it, which is a pretty safe assumption)

Results are already different based on your location, so unless you're very near each other, you already don't have that. You mightn't notice it too much because it's only noticeable on queries where it might matter. Cou

What you mean is that you don't want a search engine that guesses wrong. If you happen to get a search engine that is correctly giving you the right result every time because it happens to know what you want, I am guessing you will not

I wonder how this compares to GPT4All?
474.
by jfoster 4y ago
But then when it's distributed, are the people who receive it are in the clear, whilst the original author gets pursued? For example, can anyone now use GPT4All and there be nothing that OpenAI could do about it?

Perhaps what happens with Getty v Stability AI will have some bearing on how this eventually plays out. https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/17/23558516/ai-art-copyright...

Are they even aware of where their data is? Opening a web browser might be a big hint for them, but how about editing something in Microsoft Office? Does the data there ever touch the cloud? Do Chromebooks make it clear enough where the dat

People thought it was just a word prediction when it said "or else" then played with it too much, now they're banned.

Are they actually achieving anything for YouTube? I'm not too bothered by Shorts, but I feel as though I'm much less likely to engage deeply with Shorts. Also, if they become a major part of the platform I'm much less likely
