It's two private companies, in this case one is using their local government to try to force the other to change, in order to make more money.

Seems more to me like someone built a beautiful walled garden where people are walking nicely, and some rowdy pirates are trying to break it down because they see a lot of money inside.

Elon was the largest donator in 2015, Microsoft didn't inject any money until the team was set up and their tech proven in 2019 with GPT-2. Four years is huge in tech, and especially in the AI area. It seems you are really trying to be

How do you fund peace? Defense is pretty straightforward to me, but even Toms trying to give away free shoes in Africa created a lot of conflict.

If they can make a voice assistant that runs on-device I'd pay good money for that. Now that a lot of LLMs are able to run (slowly) on raspberry pi's, they could get a great following by just not stealing data and not having their

If this is somewhere you work, you need to report this to Fraud and Abuse. Clearances and billets cost money, if they are not being used they have no Need to Know. From what you've said, this is pretty clearly fraud. https://

Nobody is launching anything into orbit in secret: once the launch goes every country that cares to track it will be able to. They can always add extra weight if they want to obscure things to the launcher.

Battle AI stuff is already developed in-house or by firms like Palantir. OpenAI's products are more likely to be used on the billions of emails sent daily from people who aren't in full command of the English language or are too l

If they want to integrate OpenAI stuff into more Microsoft products, they'll need to make it work with the organization that's probably their biggest customer (if we call the entire DoD one customer).

It's a socially acceptable break from your work that doesn't guarantee losing money. If you find yourself getting specialized in an industry you are falling out of love with, your company doesn't offer sabbaticals, and you do

It's very odd that you start with a policy complaint against Hertz that is factually false^1 (maybe the agent didn't know?) then the conclusion is to buy a Polestar. 1. We ask you to return the EV with at least the same level of c

He's the biggest private farmland owner, at 270,000 acres. The largest private landowner (from a google search, I didn't vet much) is the Emmerson family with 2.411 acres. Farmland-wise, he owns a drop in the bucket- there'

The main things I see lately are: Apple is creating VR headsets and new chip technology, Microsoft is buying up AI companies and injecting ads/spyware into their operating systems. Also Microsoft is getting big into cloud. Interesting

It's interesting to see the perspective divide. The other perspective I often see is generational, The Boomers are out making tons of money ruining the environment and Gen Z+ will have to spend their lives undoing the harm caused.

Being an independent contractor even if you only have one client can have many benefits, I am astounded to hear that it can be illegal. It's a great way to better allocate how your pay gets spent (benefits, perks, parties, etc) if you
