   Kind off and the potentially low marginal cost of everything housing construction related (due to AI and robotics) really creates a lot of space for creative business plans here. The municipality can’t take away the land (most of the value

   If a "professional tenant" with an adversarial landlord can hang on for years, I feel like my chances with no landlords and a clean deed is actually much better. It's simply pitting the most dysfunctional municipal and judici

   I have this dream of having 4-5 robotic construction workers* capable of tearing down a Single Family home and building a four-plex in its stead overnight. Then, I just buy houses in High COL areas and start popping them up and moving famil

   So cool! I would easily pay $1000-$1500 if you put two of these on a wheel base and made it all structurally sound. Extra points if the arms sit at least 1-2 feet of the ground and can reach the ground.

   Incidentally, should we really count "income taxes" as something "Amazon pays"? Amazon doesn't pay income taxes. Amazon employees do. The fact that Amazon conducts the transaction via withholding seems irrelevant. I

   Super cool! It looks like size and speed is your major advantage. In our RAG pipeline we run the chunking process async as an onboarding type process. Is Chonkie primarily for people looking to process documents in some sort of real-time sc

   "If we need immigrant labor, give them Green Cards instead of precarity." This is counter-intuitive but absolutely the right answer. Giving immigrant employees full bargaining power will murder H1B mills. And no waiting periods in

    Isn't the only way to do that is for ChatGPT to run locally on a machine? The moment your chat hits their server they are legally required to store it?

    Also presumably, this problem is trivially solved by some basic fine-tuning? Like if you are making an Illusion Animal Leg Counting app, probably don't use these out of the box.

    I think this is a misunderstanding coder productivity. A 10x engineer isn't 10x faster at popping out Unit tests, that stuff is mind-numbingly boring that turns out a next token predictor can do it with ease. In fact I would guess that

    Haha this is so incredibly cool. One thing I might’ve missed, what are the “physics” universe? In the rainbow example the turtle seems to teleport between arcs?

    Don't care if a computer program has special privileges or not, that's irrelevant. It's a tool, and it has the potential to make a whole host of processes and people's lives easier, and no one, not you, not an internet m

    Sorry when you said "Sole purpose", I assumed you meant the ChatGPT USERS sole purpose and OpenAI's expectation of their users' Sole purpose. My sole purpose as a ChatGPT user is not to create/recreate stock photo

    The legality of Copyright material being present in the latent space of a commercialized foundation model would definitely be an interesting case! Though most of these cases aren't litigating this. They are charging that the ability

    "express and sole purpose of the tool" Categorically untrue. 100% of all my usage of image generation is for artistic purposes that have nothing to do with the reproduction of or even the mimicry of existing art. This is a gaping

    I don’t understand, generating (and then monetizing) things that are copyright violations is already illegal. What we’re taking about is suing the tool that could potentially be used to generate copyright violations. Which seems silly? St

    Sincere question: Do we need new laws for this? If I use photoshop to create a straight reproduction of an artwork by someone else and monetize it, copyright law handles this. If I use AI to do the same, same deal? At no point did someone s

    I really think the new AI panic is not as important as the original social media/algorithmic feed addiction panic. In fact some of the core problems with AI is that it’ll be used to generate slop for the algorithmic feed. “The feed” is
