Fair assessment. Maybe the messaging should focus on “these are great accelerators for software developers” rather than “AI will change everything for everyone everywhere…” It is understandable that non-technical folks…
Commercially, this may be what they want to happen. Instead of just getting an answer, they got you to make three more prompts / queries. What do you know? "Engagement" just went up 3X!
Yuck.
Software company pens speculative narratives about impact of not-yet-realized features. This reminds me of the corny old copies of The Futurist magazine that my dad kept around. Fun, hopelessly naive, and not at all…
Yep! Our family is on our second one. First was 42” and lasted five years. Current one is 55” and is going on seven years. Both were around $200-250. Picture quality is great for us. Apple TV takes care of streaming.…
Closed amazon account when Bz decided to get into politics. I realize I can buy everything I need “in the real world” and thru manufacture websites directly. I do not miss it.
Open weight != open source
Could just, you know, pay more…
1. If someone is running to a cop because someone didn’t pick up after their dog, that is a sad state of affairs. 2. If we are so interested in enforcing laws, what about all of the white collar crime, crypto scams,…
Convert some to cheap residential. Solves both problems: affordable housing as well as rebalancing supply and demand for office space.
Why participate? Why not just skip any site that wants a photo of ID? Also, those sites run massive liability risk for the inevitable data breaches that will occur.
There ARE regulations for sure. But they exist to protect the population at large. For example, food safety laws were not created out of government hostility but rather because food was unsafe. Read (or read about) The…
Then those people are on the sidelines like every other citizen. Play the game or be a spectator. Nobody gets to have it both ways.
If businesspeople want to get involved in politics, they should have the courage to run for office like anybody else. Lurking on the sidelines and waiving money around is really lame and laughable.
At the end of the day, the processor can only do Turing operations: assign values to variables (registers, memory locations, storage), loops, bitwise operations, and conditionals. Whether the source code is python,…
What other industry regularly acts in such bad faith with respect to claims made? In the securities industry, material misstatement of fact lands people in jail.
Tech is supposed to be a tool that serves other products ends, not an end in itself. At this point, tech biz leaders are massively over-reaching and trying to influence the rest of us: muxk, thiel, Karp, etc. So it…
Gee, what an optimistic outlook you have. Do you think the truly creative innovators in the fields of tech, science, engineering, and art get out of bed in the morning believing that they are just grimly marching down a…
Wearables are creepy. Please stop pushing “products” that nobody wants.
Carpet has been made for millennia. Scotchguard is new and toxic. So just make the carpets without the stain protection junk. Frankly the carpet factories will do more business as people will want to replace their…
Both try to maximize engagement. Both (soon to be) ad supported. Both driven by algorithms that show the user what they want to see.
Like dot matrix printer fonts
If they produce large negative externalities like data centers do, then yes absolutely. In a normal market, tech cos would have to pay for the messes they make (the negative externalities). With so much speculative…
You can’t determine age from a face scan. And it’s trivial to hold up a photo of an older person. Seriously if a website wants an image of your government ID or facial image, maybe ask yourself if you really need to…
Isn’t this sort of like saying you know how to use a web browser?
