That’s a very solvable problem though. If Microsoft decides to integrate ChatGPT with bing, they have the resources to retrain the model on a more recent data set, and even do it somewhat regularly

I don’t think the solutions proposed will be that impactful. How, exactly, is a platform supposed to ban content that may actually end up being more valid-seeming than the average human? How exactly will government policies prevent this on

(Not Op) Yes. The task is specific but not all that unusual. In a world where startups seem to exist to solve every conceivable problem (including ridiculous “problems” that nobody has), it’s always interesting to find something that isn’t

What did you observe in your experience?

Yeah, I think I agree with that. The other challenge though is doing 100 other things half-hearted. Perhaps they should be MVPing smaller ideas to see if they take flight, but ambitious projects always require substantial resources. The c

Agreed, but I was pointing out one of many significant differences. I was generally pointing out that the analogy has extremely tenuous overlap. Comparing a software ecosystem to an authoritative regime is a very big call, only one step awa

100% The phrase used to be “nobody got fired for buying IBM” These days IBM sell so much snake oil, I think heads should roll whenever someone purchases whatever fad-hype-junk IBM is touting and it turns out to be nonsense

Also a bullbar absolutely throws the vehicle off balance if you don’t put in new springs up front. Not sure if they consider that in the ratings.

Both, depends on your plan. Custom messages cost more. My $10/month-ish plan allows unlimited pre-canned, which I use to check in with family “I’m still alive” / “on my way home” type thing. Then I get a certain allocation of cust

Depends on the use case, but for emergency use and sending check-ins it’s quite cheap. I pay about $10/month for the peace of mind and feel that’s reasonable.

Title should be changed to include “concept” which makes this much less significant. Concept electric cars have been happening for ever.

Tangential, but these same links have always been a great way to break out of poorly designed kiosk systems. I recall noodling with a huge interactive display on the side of a bus stop that had an embedded map, and surely enough the TOS lin

If this person has tweeted this out and then gone on to do a horrible act of violence, law enforcement would be blamed for inactivity against what would be described as an “obvious” threat. They kinda lose if they do, lose if they don’t.

The idea of “secure triggers” seems like it wouldn’t work here. Your options are: - have a large enough set of input parameters that it’s infeasible to guess-attack them, but risk even just a single parameter not being correct in your targe
