Do Mistral and xAI get to freely scrape the output of Microsoft ChatGPT? I for one, think either answer to this question will turn out bad, for all of them. Drowning out creativity on the internet with remixed word salad will only be profit

There may be exceptions, but most of the time I find people call "irrational" any reasoning they disagree with.

What's the point of your comment? Should we just install a bunch of accelerometers on planes with faked paperwork because some people faked some paperwork somtime? Sounds like you're upset at Boeing and figured you would tell us y

What I can see by just loooking outside is that people are obsessed with iPhones. Why they are obsessed is definitely not obvious at a glance. Could be quality, could be PR, could be something else. You just think your opinion of somethin

Why did Facebook buy Instagram and Whatsapp? Why did Google buy Waze? Why did Volkswagen buy Audi and Skoda and Seat and Bentley and so on? Might as well ask why companies like money.

I expect people making tens of millions per year to figure it out. Are there no auto manufacturers with ok software? Presumably it's not impossible.

At some point these existed. I'm not sure, maybe on Windows 7? But they were really sluggish, which made them useless in my opinion. If I have to wait seconds for my widgets to load or react, I'll just write my notes in notepad++

Except for the moving parts, there are no moving parts. What's unclear? :)

The entire history of the world stands as proof that focusing on hyperbole maintains readers better :) Though I do wish for more accuracy. These things are totally moving parts, and there is no way they have even a long lifespan, let alone

No, what you explained is 100% what I expected. Driverless cars for Google. For me, I'll be waiting a loong time.

Are there no freeways inside the geofence? Someone in the thread mentions that they will be adding freeways soon, so I understand it can't do those now.

As long as it requires some humans to be available to "assist", I'm not sure anyone would sell or buy such a vehicle. Or rent in the "car rental" sense. Taxi service is what makes sense. If I own the car, and I&#x27

Regardless of the definition, I can't buy and own such a "driverless car" because I don't operate a supervision center with people available to "assist" the car. Whatever "assist" means. Nor can any c

Is there any kind of limit to them besides the geofence? Can you get a Waymo at night? In the rain? I suppose it never snows there. How about roadworks? How do they react to vehicles with emergency signals? Can they follow directions of a c

Do we have technology to manufacture a microbe or bacterium to given specifications? Can they assemble fragments of DNA from different living things to achieve one thing that might live on Mars? Or how do they plan to "make an organism

Internet is how you get from the client side to the server side. Maybe not internet but some-kind-of-net, and that has latency, failures etc. Maybe that's not clear: the turnstile needs to connect to a server to check the QR. Need to

No, I'm not assuming that. The freedom to make a choice is not contingent on your being informed. Imagine being kept in jail with the pretext "you are not yet fully informed of what is out there, so we're not letting you go o

The logic is obvious, that is what it takes for these kind of companies to feel the fine. 20 million dollars is nothing to them. This is easy to see if you want to. It's been discussed over and over. "I don't understand this

You're upset that your parents were free to make some choice that you feel is wrong, and you believe Apple should be allowed to take that choice away from them? Honestly, I feel that Apple has completely brainwashed some people. Commen

You pretend to have a principle that the government should not interfere, but you carve out an exception whenever the principle bothers Apple. You'll always find something, I'm sure.

So for example if you were known to have paid for sex with a porn star, your political career would definitely be over. Right? Or how it never turns out that politicians who pushed for persecution of gays are gay themselves. Ever.

One thing all the crypto coins show is that a central authority has its uses. What if you want to fix a bug in the protocol or upgrade it? What if due to some mistake you are identified as underage when you are over, or over when you are un

If corporations can just increase prices with whatever percent they need to offset some tax, why don't they just increase prices with 5% or 500% already, and pocket the profit, despite there being no tax that requires the increase? See

I wonder how well Apple would sell phones if radio spectrum was unregulated and anyone would be allowed to design and build devices that emit radio waves on any wavelength at any power. After all, this is the world you want, where governm

Funny how you can understand that "Apple can't practically leave the EU", but don't understand that "citizens can't practically fight Apple on their own". Makes it pointless to have a discussion, with this

Do you understand the argument that multiple people can vote for a government that deals with corporations from a position of power, as opposed to a single person dealing with Apple from an exceedingly disadvantaged position? It's also

I'm pretty sure they stop being "Apple's own devices" when they sell them. Selling means change of ownership , no? Though I expect that both Apple and Apple fans don't agree with this definition. As long as they do
