Yes, and if they escalate to banning Google accounts entirely due to ad-blocking then people would be forced to choose between the data they have there and their adblockers.

YouTube has infinite time and energy for this. Adblock developers do not. Some are already burning out. The biggest risk to YouTube's strategy isn't that they can't win technically, it's that the bitching from their empl

Certainly but have any of the AI ethics teams at these big companies done any work on those bigger ethical issues, or is it all language control?

Eh whatever. Would a private company invite someone to give a talk if that person was constantly making personal attacks on the CEO, the employees and the products? Probably not. The background to this dispute is that the British civil serv

OpenAI is very conspicuously the only lab that (a) managed to keep the safety obsessives in their box, (b) generate huge financial upside for its employees and (c) isn't run by a researcher. If Altman's contribution had simply bee

I was an insider at that time and I didn't disagree with that decision, especially as Google were funnelling money to Firefox and at that time Firefox was executing well and had a lot of support across the community. Part of why the mo

I don't think I made the initial argument you claim is being moved. ChatGPT has got more politically neutral at least, but is still a long way from being actually so. There are many classes of conversation it's just useless for,

Yeah it seems like not entirely candid may turn out to be something like "he said he was a super-doomer and pinky swore it to us, but then we realized he wasn't doomer enough for us". If it's not malfeasance about financ

WTH? How much traffic is this thread getting or alternatively, how little traffic does the guardian get?

This sounds plausible. The timing seems sudden and there was chatter in the last few days about OpenAI needing to raise more money.

Are you sure? I remember one of Dreamweaver competitive advantages was that it produced much cleaner HTML than it's competitors. FrontPage was the big offender with awful code.

It says a lot about the state of the BBC that they produce so little sci-fi that this is actually considered news. Look at Netflix, for whom sci-fi/fantasy is the most popular genre of show and as a consequence they invest heavily into
