The fact that you can download some data, presented as “all data”, doesn’t mean that it’s actually properly stored and handled. No way to verify or enforce it.

Can you give some examples of you needing to download your data? What actions did you take based on it? How often do you do it?

Do we care more about the fact that she contributed certain amount or any particular impact she had with her contributions?

You are saying that they are not directly involved in generating "value" and then saying that bad decisions result in huge losses. That just doesn't compute. And how do you know that laid off people "directly" invol

How does it prove it? Why the same logic doesn’t apply to the upper management, they were at the company when it had record profits. So they are competent enough to recognize that certain efforts are not needed anymore and it’s time to cut

How is the previous revenue relevant? For a rational company, workforce is needed to increase revenue in one way or another. If the company is rational and wanted to increase their revenue, why would they decide to lay them off (and incur a

Can you give an example? Have you tried asking it to generate both code and unit tests for it?

One of the companies that decide to build the most complex engineering systems, very expensive social programs, while keep losing more money every year. Hopefully company will be able to focus on what’s important for their business moving f

Now let's just agree on who is going to decide what is stupid and what is not.

That wasn't my experience at all, feels like a theoretical discussion. Let's take something like SoCal, "luxury" housing built 30-50 years ago is not considered luxury. Even if those still advertise as "luxury"

Out of curiosity, do you use ad blocking software?

Internet is basically a bunch of nodes with interconnected data. Any search index might be considered as an interconnected graph. Same way with LLMs, it’s nothing new, might be considered faster depending on the definition. Comparing to cel

Will that basically kill LLMs (and probably GAI in general) use in EU? I haven’t seen a successful implementation with it and post attribution like in Bing won’t fly in this case.

100s of millions of people used it for quite some time now, many on daily basis. Do we have any evidence that it “knows about you”? Why can’t we say that the “internet” knows too much about you?

People like to blame the politicians for what’s happening. However the politicians are not electing themselves. The problem is the people who with great intentions make things worse. Wait a few minutes until someone posts that “statisticall

No, I do not live in NY. Just gave it as a reference, many of other cities are considered as not “real cities” by SF folks. I lived in Bay Area and visited SF frequently. And I spent quite a bit of time in NY. Obviously there’re homeless in

I bet you are from SF or Seattle where the whole “this exists in all cities” is used as justification. I’ve been to most big cities in the US and it’s not the case. I feel fairly safe to walk outside at 2 AM in New York. In contrast every t

To ensure that the wealth doesn't go to foreign entities, they could create a CERN-like organization and fund AI/ML research, with the short term focus on LLMs. What they are ensuring is that the jobs would go to countries that ha

And now compare how many employees they have in the US vs EU.

Tangential, but do you think AI ethics researchers/leaders should have some relevant background in AI or at least engineering? I was thinking about it recently myself and first reaction is that they should but at the same time does it

How much time account creation realistically takes? How does that compare to the actual PR creation time? You will need to spend significantly more time on writing code, debugging, testing, creating PR that follows all the guidelines, poten

I have been getting Rpilocator notifications for 6 months and wasn’t able to get a pi. If you start your order 15 seconds later you are basically out of luck. Same story for all my friends. So while I get that some people got lucky, it’s no
