Hundreds of thousands of documents is small enough that you can feasibly run a pen and paper office handling them. Especially since most of them do not cross-reference eachother (family applications do, but unrelated families have no such l

Thank link does not provide any evidence that no h1bs were laid off. How many non-h1bs did they hire in that fiscal year? How many h1bs did they lay off? > It makes no sense to lay off H1Bs only to immediately re-hire them afterwards. &q

In every society that was worth living in, accountability was a key factor. Decision-makers need to be able to be held to account for why they made a decision. Maybe not in every case, but in many, many cases. If your society doesn't

Quantity has a quality all of its own. This is a paradigm shift. If it weren't, everyone wouldn't be head over heels to adopt it. It makes so many new awful uses, or turning up existing awful uses economical. We supercharge the wo

They had a paper trail and processes that were documented and could be cross-examined on during discovery and lawsuits and trials. Now it's just 'the computer says so, shrug '. Over in the DoD, the computer says you must die

I'm pretty sure that ~100% of those 700 million people will have a bad, utterly dehumanizing experience when they will next be looking for a job, because OpenAI is heavily used by HR. That's the problem with AI safety. Not in vo

If you think that Canada can be described as a Chinese puppet by serious people, I'm not sure I can take any of the rest seriously. I'd suggest that you stop listening to MAGA propaganda in the particular, and anglonews in the gen

Turds will continue to be turds. What's reassuring is that normal people have largely stopped giving their nonsense the time of day. What's less reassuring is that all those kids grew up and are now voting.

Local, state and international governments who wanted to crack down on AI could just arrest and execute the owners. None of whom plan on living in space anytime soon.

I'm sure we can all think of simpler solutions to that problem than 'NO COOTIES'. The exclusion they practice is not an exclusion over values and interests, which is why they didn't fit into mainstream culture. It's

The first thing that socially excluded nerds do after they find a community that accepts them is, of course, raise barriers and gates to keep out other people who don't confirm to their particular monoculture. Which is a shame. It&#x27

It can be useful. That's the problem. It moves an incredibly amount of power into a small handful of multinationals. I don't want to live in a fucking world where an AI watches everywhere I go, reads everything I write, listens to

You speak as if Stalinism and the Great Leap Forward are anywhere near the Overton window for mainstream left media discourse. When in reality it's too busy trying to outdo itself on how hard it is willing to sanewash and give an equal

Solution: fire half the line managers, and make the rest also do IC work. If anyone has a VP-level position open, I'm willing to send you my resume. There is a salary level at which I am willing to do work entirely without shame.
