Facebook still has a pedo problem because they still haven't hired 1 million employees to deal with it. Amazon would still have a logistics problem if they hadn't hired 1 million employees to move boxes around.

We talked about this a few weeks ago so it can't be the first time you're hearing about this :) [1] You hadn't heard about it before because it really only affected API customers running services including calls that required

Is this guy fishing for a job at DOGE? Otherwise I'm not sure what could explain why he's acting in pretty much the "worst practice" manner possible when doing security reports. Even stuff like the literal teens doing th

They already have a track record of messing with internal system prompts (including those that affect the API) which obviously directly change outputs given the same prompts. So in effect, they've already been messing with the models f

> It's just also facially incorrect - Amazon does hire warehouse workers. Facebook does not hire enough content monitors. This is the whole point. Amazon had to hire hundreds of thousands of warehouse workers to scale. They have 1.5

You've been asking things that are verbatim in the first few links. Ask anything that isn't and it will confidently hallucinate.

IME Gemini has a lot more non-tech mindshare than Claude. For tech it's of course the opposite.

Gemini models have always been the strongest at image understanding. We're talking like 1.5 years now. It's also better at a good number of non-English/European languages, this too has been ever since 1.5 pro.

Going to prison would not be enough, he'd be pardoned very quickly and there'd be very little of a discouraging effect on other megacorps with similar ethics.

I'm flabbergasted whenever I read this argument. It's like saying Amazon's business is not scalable because they need warehouse workers.

"As accurate as Oura" or "as is Oura"? The missing word is adding some ambiguity here :)

I think this boom started here in Korea, I remember they were already growing quickly here back in 2018 (7 years ago, scary how time flies). They're now exporting them all over the world, I talked to someone who helps run one of the ch

Being made to follow laws is being pushed around? If Trump makes Google not pay the fine you think that will have no negative side-effects? His actions have been incredibly positive for European tech companies, 5 years ago the only ones tha

I don't think I expressed anything about their likelihood of payment - just that they won't stop doing business in the EU. I think your scenario is a real possibility, but ironically one that would cost the US a lot more than it g

Well written. The comparison with physical goods as you're making it is one I'm a big fan of, and should be made much more often. It's laughable that tarriffs and import taxes only apply to physical goods. If the EU had even

The EU is still a massive profit center for these companies. Over 2025 Alphabet's revenue was around $170B in US and $100B in EMEA. Imagine if Google couldn't operate in half of the US, and how impactful that would be. Yet EMEA

China is a special case. As the government has effectively total control, even having 30% market share as Google doesn't mean it's a profitable venture, or that the government hasn't said that it will let it remain one - and

Would make very little business sense at this point - currently they have an effective monopoly on routing. Hosting would just make them one provider among a few dozen. It would make the other providers less likely to offer their services t

It's 15% of their yearly net profit in the region. Not even revenue. 3bn sounds like a lot because we haven't gotten used to the absurd profit levels that these monstrosities have reached.

US tech does everything it can to forcefully monopolize a market; US tech gets fined by countries who care about it.

Going to pre-empt the comments that always pop up in these topics saying "Google/Meta/Apple will just leave the EU at this rate": Google still has around $20 billion yearly reasons to remain active in the EU. Talking E

The huge majority of cheese consumed in the US isn't any better than vegan cheese. And yes, the US does have good cheese! It's just a tiny sliver of all cheese consumed.
