The casinos won't ban you if you take too much from other players. They ban you because you take to much from the casino itself. If you somehow caused some exchange to consistently lose money, I'm sure they'd cut you off.

I'd definitely say IntelliJ improved my productivity. No one cared. If anything, management viewed it as a nuisance as they had to deal with the license. Now there is demands to justify not using AI like this, but people don't car

I commented on wasteful AI spending, and my father immediately started talking about how he "went through that a couple of times" as a manager at an oil company. The unusual thing is perhaps how global and cross industry it seems.

Unless they're compensating people, and chose not to mention it, this is just a confession to failing to pay the minimum wage.

I can see this argument, but I'm not sure it matters, because it's looking like these companies are just directly violating copyright law. Meta pirated books using BitTorrent: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy&#x

For a practical example of that, a lot of documents used to have things like social security numbers, and they started stripping that information off once it was visible online.

Or just some AI flagging it as some sort of content they don't want to show. There's no way they can be perfect at that.

If you're actually creating content or running a business of some sort, it's hard to drop a platform, but for your average user it's fairly easy. It's hard to tell how many people have left, but it's clearly signifi

That would be 20% who _might_ figure it out. That's essentially R&D spend, which has no guarantee of success.

We got an email stating our managers would be monitoring our usage. I got an angry slack scolding for zero AI use, which was simply that I'd been signed on with an alternate version of my email, and they hadn't accounted for that.

Scoring systems that function by adding up several parts never make sense. Video game magazines used to do that, but it meant that you could have wretched gameplay, and still get a decent score, from points in other categories like audio, g

While they cite the summaries as copyright infringement, news organizations have previously rejected removing them as a way to resolve things. They ultimately want money. Meta's fix has been to try to walk away from the news. They remo

A lot of "admin" tasks are human problems though. You learn you were supposed to be paid, but it didn't happen, or you were paid the wrong amount. A computer can help you find that problem, but solving it is still a human iss
