Doubtful. Almost definitely going to be taking direction from "business" people with misaligned and ulterior motives, rather than asking questions of people with long careers, research, and history in the field. Which is just... h

"she saw a good enough sign " The additional thing is that it... isn't a bad sign. I have seen a ton of terrible AI-slop food signage. This sign does not try to be "hyper-realistic", and end up in an uncanny-val

You are projecting. Not only are yo projecting, you are attributing "AI coffee shop sign" with "not successful". You yourself say what made your "retail" successful was "the care I put into curating the pr

I think you missed the point. I was using the parent commenters "too lazy" language. Small business owners are very often drastically overloaded and any "corners cut" is to get what is needed in place, and not "lazy

I agree that people like the dogpile, but those dog-piles are normally starts by someone who feels like they are personally victimized and threatened by whatever action they are objecting to. People take things very personally when their co

From a more... pessimistic/optomistic point of view (I'm really not sure which applies here, it depends how you look at it) It is also about a culture with absolutely no safety net, where AI and increased automation moving into

> They own the business, they don't make the coffee You might not have spent a lot of time in the world of "small business", but this is hysterically out of touch.

In terms of negligence use (openai, anthropic), ya, I agree, and we really need some consideration of "reasonable expectation" of the outcome. In terms of "We wrote a hacking agent designed only for hacking and sell it as a s

There is also the big difference here between anthropic/openai maybe being negligent, but did not purposely instruct agents to go commit crimes . The service that this whole thread is about is explicitly a "hacking agent", d

They "validated that the key was valid" by iterating internal repositories and listing the contents of said repos and poking around at what they do/are-for, including, apparently, iterating through customer lists/informa

Whether it's valid or not, there is something that rubs me the wrong way about a security tools company using a real customer/vendor as a marketing campaign. This "story" could have been told without naming, bluntly, t

The guarantee on this is a (contractual) “trust me bro”, and a right to try to sue a multi-trillion-dollar company who will absolutely drive you into the ground with legal red tape. If you are big enough to be able to withstand that, you’re

The "private market" at this point is so huge though that you'll have an "insiders" private market, and an "outsiders" public market to dump the bag on that the insiders don't care about.

It really doesn't matter. They're doing secondary offerings for employees and individual holders, and they'll have no issue allowing private transactions for larger holders. The general wealth distribution has shifted to the

From my experience, any time Fable sees anything loosely related to "linux" it throws a fit.

I don't mean to sound like I'm dismissing your experience, but are you sure ? I've (semi regularly, most of the time I'm even trying to use Fable) started with Fable, proceeded through my planning, and then at some poin

My concern about this isn't about the money. Frankly, no amount would actually satisfy everyone, and even an even-more-comically-large number won't materially impact Facebook (sorry, Meta). My concerns are: 1. This is an agreed se

You are claiming (or pretending) that spend (ie, marketing spend) isn't one of, if not _the_, biggest factors in which of a set of options ends up being the winner? In this case you don't get to try the options first. You made a d
