Depending on where you start it could be a bigger salary drop than you expected, but it sounds like technical support might be your real passion. I’m the same way - I love in-the-weeds troubleshooting and helping people solve their business

I hate how this has become so normal. It degrades trust when people are fed different versions of the same experience without being informed. How are you supposed to reference something when the title changes without notice? Makes me feel l

MOBAs largely absorbed the younger player base that would have been into traditional RTS games. The whole genre came out of a Warcraft mod.

It’s a trailer, you really think that’s something that can be spoiled? Do you get mad if someone spoils a Super Bowl ad?

You must be misinterpreting. You believe that organizations that promote small business growth don’t count as underlying systems for job creation? Really? Per Wikipedia: > Infrastructure is the set of facilities and systems that serve a

“Job-creating infrastructure” would be infrastructure that creates jobs. A chamber of commerce, small business lenders, startup accelerators etc. Building infrastructure of any kind has a temporary positive effect on employment. The builder

I’m not dismissing the controversy. I’m arguing against shifting the blame away from the culpable parties. It’s a novel form of theft but thats still what it is.

> Overall, it's not exactly a ton of jobs for how much money is going into them, but it isn't nothing. I’m not disputing that data center buildouts will have some localized job creation, but the net effect of all those data cen

Calling data centers “job creating infrastructure” seems like a bit of an oxymoron tbh

You’re right, they don’t. It was scooped by the humans at OpenAI who published the paper. The tool they used to do it isn’t that relevant.

That’s the whole point of why they should disclose, because you don’t know if it’s poor performance or something legitimately bad. I simply gave examples of something that I don’t think anyone with a conscience would support. You very much

> I think it's a useful analogy to compare OpenAI to a human collaborator. Frankly I don’t buy this. It’s not a human or a collaborator. It’s a tool. This is like saying it’s not Microsoft’s fault if they extract a bunch of data fro

Bad companies who do bad things should fail. Why are you so obsessed with protecting criminals from consequences? If an exec is sexually harassing employees should they still be protected? What if the bad behavior is abusing workers and com

No, like specific apps that have been granted full disk access etc lose their permissions. It’s hell for IT, constantly breaks AV. I would not characterize that as reverting to a default. More often it’s a breaking change for how the securi

Rockefeller, the “competition is sin” guy, sure that has nothing to do with greed. His philanthropy had a positive impact but he was still an unethical business person hellbent on stopping anyone else from making money on his turf
