Right, this is existing players (OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, FB, etc) protecting their moat. AI can't be "paused". Sometimes I see the question "should we put a pause on AI development?" It doesn't mean anything

I imagine unionizing software engineers at a media company is probably a bit easier since the equity side of NYT is likely not as valuable as tech companies in the Bay Area. For instance there's also this news today out of union-heavy

I'm not sure if anyone actually does this despite your claim. Most people who go AWS for hosting, also use their domain/DNS services. Likewise for the others.

There is some future where AI, deepfakes, and what not become so indistinguishable from real people, that those industries (news media, social-media, etc) that make sport out of hearing "wrong speak" and performing shaming rituals

To be honest, these "system design" rounds are a hassle for me and even those in-depth YouTube videos don't help. It's all so theoretical and I feel like everything I do/say is bluffing my way through them. I prefer

What do you mean specifically? It seems like all the OP is saying is that the company evaluated alternatives (Azure & AWS) whose cloud products are "first class" citizens of the business whereas with Google the first class pro

My first job was doing Actionscript + mxml. It was fine for the web, even as people talked about things like crashes and/or security vulnerabilities. The same can be said to be true of Javascript today (to a much lesser extent though).

In general working with or on behalf of "the security state" or "security apparatus" isn't considered kosher anymore. I'd wager that probably plays a large role. Additionally there's been several leaks of

Right? What is this thing about some groups being "off limits" while others are fetishized and babied? There's no longer anything "brave" in making a joke about a "safe group" to joke about. In today'
