One thing I'm confused by is that we need to do "reporting" to figure out what the truth is here. Can't we just ask the astronauts, or NASA, or something? Why is there no official statement on the matter? There's ac

I haven't thought about this a ton - but am I wrong that it sounds crazy and inefficient for the government to essentially compete with private industry? It feels like a colliding of worlds and a cannibalization that doesn't make

Great find. Yes, things are different now. So too for SaaS.

Wait... What? There is already a law for this exact purpose in California. It's called the BOT Act from 2019 https://dailyjournal.com/articles/379909-california-s-bolste...

What? Why? Shouldn't those same use cases all be banned regardless of what tech is used to build them?

to be clear, their terms of service are pretty clear that the USER owns the outputs.

The truth is no one knows why they didn't bring those charges, or the real details behind the evidence or what happened in those interactions. It's pretty much shrouded beneath things like: -DOJ released some details and screensho

Love this comment. It highlights a major misunderstanding of biology that many people who didn't study it in depth have: that every, or most features of living beings do not have an "evolutionary explanation." T-rex arms aren

I expect secrets to be shared in that code and data breaches to follow (not that they wouldn't anyhow...)

Not saying there are zero, but I think Sam's publicity tour bolstered the EU AI Act and the white house exec order, both of which have really hurt EU AI and small AI companies respectively

It was a great marketing strategy, imo, to say AI is so scary and impressive and awful it needs to be regulated immediately. Helps them look impressive and good willed & kills all competitors.

Genuinely curious: does this make US regulators second-guess breaking up Google? Having a USA company be the first to develop quantum computing would be a major national security advantage.

It also seems like a bad opsec if he creates multiple aliases for the same theme. Wouldn't you want to have one us soldier, one Russian, one African, etc. if you are trying to create red herrings?

fair enough but is that really the reason edtech has failed?

can you give an example of someone being upset and what the thing they'd learned that they "shouldn't?" as a parent I find it confusing that I'd consider getting upset if my kid was learning 6th grade history as a 3

People with guns forcibly going through your things with threat of prison time tends to erase desire for revenue. See international business climate in China.

Lots of interesting things in here - thanks for sharing - but why on earth do you call NYT and WashPo "right wing"?

Good luck. I'm curious what you feel about the following: These days news publications generally have a pretty weak business model and a lot of competition. Does it still make sense to have a union in this case? Why?

Simply reading the word "Winamp" brings back a nostalgia for me almost like smelling the perfume of an old girlfriend. Spent so many hours looking at my custom Winamp skin and playing songs I'd downloaded from god-knows-where

Hmm I think he's merely explaining what physics is and is not. Physics isn't really answering "why" questions, at least not ones with infinite scope.

What she is asking for is a radical economic restructuring of a free market. It's attitudes like hers that lead to the federal government having the worst software imaginable. It just doesn't work unless everyone agrees to do it

I agree with you about what the Disney arbitration agreement should (fairly) apply to. I'd argue that the ToS/policy page solution can still work, though. We just need higher standards and greater clarity for what those policies

Yes -- that is the downside of the current privacy policy model. There's a continuum, though: from a dense legal meaningless document, to a hyper-loud intrusive but meaningless pop-up. I'd argue that the lawmakers should try to u
