Would also add that having an autoplay background showing a few different uses of your product in 5 second cut clips would be effective too. Right now I have a hard time telling in 10 seconds of landing what the product does.

Regardless of whether one agrees or not with paying creators of the training data, I think the deeper issue here is about societal wealth distribution and who gets paid for X now that X is being done very well by AIs. A less equitable worl

What do you want them to say? "It's our right to fire people and we've now chosen to do so!" Technically true but sounds bad. They're just putting a PR spin on it.

It seems like this follow up paper clarifies the data's vision a lot more. Notable changes from the previous version discussed in a sister thread here: - There is no more emphasis on price-only-inflation-adjusted returns. Good riddan

This makes a lot more sense. Whenever you have to choose between Theory A: the other side is evil / hateful and Theory B: the other side is optimizing their self-interest (in this case getting elected by their base), Theory B seems to

At this point, the US Department keeps them as an example for other countries. If you don't fall in line, then you becomes like Cuba. Likewise, the US is all about sovereignty of nations that border an enemy (Russia, China). But get wi

You're right, my "mess up once, get fired", I really mean if a flight crashes and the FAA could have done something, they'll get political flak. High level political appointees may need to resign. Whereas if an agency

Agencies like the FAA are notoriously risk adverse. Basically the motivations of most employees seems like, "if I mess up once, I get fired; if I don't produce any movement, I can't get fired". Naturally, the output is
