From another article about this: "One way the US government could regulate the industry is by creating a licensing regime for companies working on the most powerful AI systems, Altman said on Tuesday." Sounds like he basically wan

Contrary to what the author of this article seems to believe, antitrust law isn't a general purpose law for going after companies you don't like. The author seems very confused and is mostly talking about copyright claim and then

He absolutely did not crash it "in a specific" location. At best he crashed it in a wide area and put people's lives at risk. It might be a small risk but it's absolutely not his call to make. He's basically sayin

1. Most of the posts on they sub have nothing to do with people's lives being "ruined". 2. Yeah its may be unhealthy but people do all kinds of unhealthy things to themselves. 3. 35k subs on a subreddit that seen around 12 ye

If there are no studies and you're implying that kratom is a big problem, so what are you basing that on? There are many subreddits related to quitting various things. If that's your metric for “lives ruined" there are dozens

Oh wow, okay. That sounded so bad I didn't think it could possibly be from the real documentation for a pretty popular product.

I don't entirely disagree with the sentiment, but the example is so contrived. The problem with these sentences isn't that the word "just" and "simply" are somehow upsetting to the reader but that they're

It probably depends on how long you've had your email address. I've had mine for 20+ years would be borderline unusable without spam filtering. It's been much better since I took the time to set things up so marking and email

I cancelled my NYT subscription a couple of years ago and had to chat with customer "service" to cancel. One of the things they asked me about was keeping the crossword subscription ($20/year), which I might have done. But I

Oh I'm sorry I expect to actually know what the content being deleted was before passing judgement on whether it's appropriate or not. I suppose I should switch my brain off and pick up a pitchfork whenever someone yells "ce

"Mr. Das said he did not remember the exact context of the tweet." Sorry, I can't take this guy at his word. Oh I can't remember what I tweeted or why but trust me Twitter was unjustified in taking it down.

What is the actual tweet that is being "withheld globally"? It's impossible to fairly judge who's in the right here without knowing that. Shouldn't this info be published elsewhere if it's actually that importa

I'm sorry but the home page is a weird screenshot of disjointed paragraphs that tells me nothing about how your product "supports the writing process". I'm not even sure what the text being edited is from that page. To b

I don't see how this is different from any number of heat pump systems out there except that your product doesn't exist yet, and your competitors do.

I love the idea. This sounds like a way better use of conversational AI than "bot that writes commit messages".

Thankfully I don't need to worry about that for my use case, but you could probably solve a lot of this by whitelisting mailchimp, constant contact, and a few other providers that probably cover a large percentage of "legit"

I run my own mail setup with Postfix, Dovecot, and SpamAssassin. I've had great results with zero false positives and over 99% successful spam filtering after a little bit of tweaking and training the bayesian filter.
