It would have gotten rid of every single one of those if the only method for their production required a tech company to invest a 8-digit sum in R&D and said tech company was threatened with litigation.

A french court banning it will probably be a (short) precursor to an EU-wide ban which is effectively a worldwide ban. EU courts will be fining companies heavily if they don't comply which effectively means big tech no longer invests a

That's either under some pretty narrow definition of "anything" or some pretty broad definition of "text". You can start proving your point by representing the smell of incense as "text" and see how far th

There are only 2 reasons to put this exact wording in your press release: a) you are extremely stupid b) you are super woke and are using this as a signalling opportunity Extremely stupid people sometimes run billion-dollar companies but it

Race-based firings are illegal and every company hires attorneys to cook the process so that it can pass legal muster. That's the value of fake "diversity" (excluding the only diversity that matters, diversity of opinion - wh

The affirmative answer to that ask was implicit in the first employment contract you signed. So, unless you'd claim that horses can give implicit consent by accepting grain from a human, the equivalency fails.

I'd like to comment specifically on the conception of betting on AI 'achievements' (I think Marcus' bet is underspecified and kind of vague in all 5 of its points). People shouldn't be betting on benchmarks because

Have you considered that a lot of people in the medical field have always been latent antivaxxers and that was just the moment to out themselves? Spoiler alert, antivaxxers are always wrong.

Between the antivaxxers in those threads and the "singularity in 3 years" ones in the AI threads, I think a significant downwards revision of the average IQ of hackernews commenters is in order.
