Sadly, this is how societies eventually tend to become. They need the younger generation to be “properly” raised (definition of “proper” really depends on the society). If the side effect is that you also end up controlling adults and makin

I am sure that nothing illegal was done here. But the fact that OpenAI was a nonprofit and then suddenly became a for-profit is definitely something that does not feel right. I am 100% sure that it is all legal and such, but we have this me

Maybe. The reason I think it might not be true is that some people are simply not wired to be developers: to think analytically. Learning how to type commands and use a terminal is not something people cannot already learn right now. And th

Why do we need to complicate here? cloudFlare is not making any profit. They are losing money. The board probably wants profit now (they predict less growth) so the management needs to cut the costs. This AI story is a just an excuse. If th

Lets not miss the obvious: cloudflare is not profitable. I believe the board is probably telling the management that they need to cut costs. All this “AI bla bla efficiency bla bla agents bla bla” is a convenient excuse.

This is kind of similar to what we are experiencing, but there is one important caveat: only business owners with no employees tend to be mean and borderline fraudulent. Not all but there is a tendency. But that kind of makes sense to me. I

I think Tesla as a company is doing the right moves. The management (excluding Elon) seems solid and smart. The problem is that we often attach a company or a larger idea to a single person, even when it is much much bigger than that indivi

That is my assumption. I assume who ever was representing her made a mistake and challenged the warrant and that caused delay in the extradition.

Ok. The mistake was made by North Dakota police (and they blame AI - the AI just gave them a possible match. Whatever.). What I still do not understand is why she spent nearly six months in a Tennessee jail. That part remains unclear and ne

The judge likely issued the warrant based on the detective’s sworn testimony. In most cases, a judge does not have the ability or detailed knowledge to independently verify whether the detective completed all necessary checks. This situatio

From reading more into the case, it seems the issue may be related to how her lawyer handled the case. They probably did “identity challenge” arguing that she is not the right person. But from Tennessee’s perspective, she was considered the

This is a weak or misleading story about AI. First, the detective used the FaceSketchID system, which has been around since around 2014. It is not new or uniquely tied to modern AI. Second, the system only suggests possible matches. It is s

This needs to be taken in context. In my view, AI definitely gives better advice than friends, acquaintances, or colleagues (at least in the US culture). But the advice from parents is still the most valuable. Here is how I would rank it: 1

We should do something here. Nothing will be done at Federal level. But california is big enough to make things moving without any federal level law. For example, what about this: - no sales taxes on new EV sales - free registration for 5 y

I do not know. It is all about priorities. Raise taxes on gas? Put extra taxes on sell ICE vehicles? Increase registration fees for ICE vehicles? (In short - ICE sales will paying for money lost via EV sales) I’m not saying it will be easy.

The problem with many of these EVs is that they were way too expensive. The main reason companies were producing them is due to regulatory requirements and how emissions standards are calculated, not necessarily because wanted to sell these

Excellent insight. Trust is key for capitalism. And for functioning democracy. When trust is lost, whether in the system or in your fellow citizens, everything begins to suffer. I think of society as an extended family. If you do not trust

No. I think the core issue is that they used her 2019 booking photo (a mugshot) from a public intoxication arrest. I am not sure whether a photo like that is reliable :) In the end, the detective compared the booking photo with the camera f

This has nothing to do with AI. There are also a few questions that remain unanswered: - Did she have previous arrests, and did they use booking photos to identify her? I found someone named Angela Lipps who was arrested in 2001, 2003, 2017
