Oh, no question. But realize, that is their mindset.

It is the job of management to figure out how to make gains over the next 90 days, not make gains sustainable. The money available for consumers to spend in wake of their unemployment is the problem for whenever that issue occurs. If there

The risks of AI, while mostly hypothetical, have been understood for years. If they were really this concerned about the risks of AI re: the survival of the human race, they wouldn't have joined a company working in such a space to beg

Given that their cameras are being shot, spray-painted, stolen, cut down, and bagged, I'd say that what they want is irrelevant. Perhaps they could try a different market. The UK seems more amicable to such things.

Because people are apathetic by nature until things become a real problem. It's not just Meta, either. How often do we have people on here talking about how amazing Chinese models are when the list of security breaches involving the Ch

Well, at least with Flock, "Your elected leaders voted to enter the municipality into the contract." For the other part, well, them being tried would require them to be in a jurisdiction where the local prosecutor actually has the

If he knew how to wear a suit and answer questions from politicians, there are several regulatory penalties over the last decade that Meta doesn't have to pay. The job of a CEO is to have a vision that is compelling for the market and

This is what happens when you let business school grads do whatever they want to make money; particularly, gutting the company over the long run without having to make considerations for the people who did the actual value creation. If you

Technically, they do already kill people for profit. When some coked-out analyst in Manhattan projects what a company will be able to earn in profit in the next fiscal quarter, people listen to him and thus, the company must perform to that

Exactly . Even that guy could read the situation.

Eh. People have come back from worse. You can walk over the border between France and Germany.

The schadenfreude is that, at least for OpenAI, they were originally set up to make open models . They were set up as a public benefit company and their returns were capped at 100x. They (well, Sam) went out of their way to put themselves

Not really. They'll get over it. Just gotta make the hole the perpetrators are in deep enough.

To them, the consent is using the device/service/whatever. You see it in various bits of EULA and ToS all the time. "Continued use of <insert thing here> implies agreement with the license terms". Now, is that at a

It needs to be far more focused than the last one. We can come back from this, but some people need to spend a significant amount of their lives in prison.

>It's not really a dream though? Right now I think it's still a dream for a few reasons, not the least of which is that all of this goes to shite if you have mass unemployment in a country with more firearms than people legally

That's more-or-less what you are now, especially if you work at a company like Meta where 1) the guy at the top holds majority control of the company's shares and 2) keeps making massive, expensive mistakes either by accident or d

The problem I see here is that ultimately, you'll have capital wanting to replace workers like others have said, and have someone roughly equivalent to a manager or vice president driving teams of agents to achieve business outcomes. T

Ah, yes, AfD. Where you can walk into a meeting, and cut off a guy's speech about five minutes in with this line [0] Seriously though, I'm surprised that there's not a lot more mass resistance to the idea. It's a massive

by lenerdenator 23d ago
And that's the rub, isn't it? If it can replace a worker but does too much work to be checked routinely by a human, and bears no real responsibility for its actions, well... it's really just a way to jack up the value of the

I wonder if Altman's definition also includes taking on the same liability as a coworker would. Probably not.

Who gets the money shouldn't be your focus, it's that there's even talk of anyone building such a system at all that should be the focus. Europe has a long history of government abuses of human rights. There's absolute

The fact that no one wants to bear the cost to pre-load it on devices, when combined with the fact that it's not nearly as easy to install OSes on mobile devices as it is on most laptop/desktop/server machines, means that it

Same story as always: the goal sounded nice, but no one wanted to do the actual work.

Or anyone. It doesn't have to wait 20 years for someone to come through engineering school to happen.

You have to be the change you want to see in the world. We often forget this, but computer software and hardware are engineering disciplines. Part of engineering is knowing when something's bad and telling the person who asked you to d
