I did not miss the full context. "Deemed" in particular doesn't require any sort of reasoning or argument for the company to make any decision it likes. And "appropriate" is not a synonym for "necessary". "Why did you…
You missed the "in any way that Vultr deems appropriate" clause. This is a classic weasel phrase which means they can do as they please. "Why did you sell my data to an AI company?" "We deemed it appropriate." There is…
A system where musicians are not adequately compensated will always be more attractive to the listener.
If you're under the impression that your average musician gets any significant money on streaming, this is not so. I know a lot of professional musicians who make a living from their craft. Their income sources are…

I expected to be downvoted! It's a grim idea, that this is there is and there isn't some huge prize of "a whole galaxy" a thousand years down the line. I would have resisted it when I was a kid, myself. About fifteen…
The most likely theory is that the universe is much like it appears to be and the speed of light is an absolute barrier, and that in practice means that interstellar civilizations never form, because it's simply far,…
This seems well-reasoned and clear. The author is pissed off, but one can see why if what the article presents is accurate. But I personally don't know either the code base or the material ("terminals") well enough to…

The New York Post is not a reliable source.
Years of deliberate false statements by Tesla about their self-driving capacity should make any rational person very skeptical of their future claims. Having a CEO who is obsessed with posting far-right-wing political…
No, there is in fact a qualitative difference between a program where the expected number of CVEs is 1, and one where the expected number of CVEs is 0.02.

The idea that Google is trying secretly trying to push some agenda by putting embarrassing and ridiculous bugs into their code is mind-blowingly stupid. Google is a for-profit company whose interest is in making money.
Agree 100%. The idea that "This can't be a bug! They must have spent huge amounts of effort making deliberately ridiculous outputs that no one would value!" comes close to clinical paranoia.
The more boring but more probably true explanation is that almost no one captions their family photos "white woman with white man", and nearly all of the photos of couples that use the word "white" or "black" are…
This is hardly new: stories similar to this have appeared every few years since Google started image search. The boring truth is that this is not a monetizable query, so Google doesn't really care: and that no one…
