No need for a cookie banner if you don't collect data without consent. Every modern browser supports APIs that answer that question without pestering the user with a cookie banner.
To be fair, anyone who genuinely likes React is probably insane? Plenty of great projects are developed by people working at Meta. Doesn't change the fact that the company as a whole should be split in at least 6 parts,…
What makes you think the regulators didn't predict the outcome? Of course the business which depend on harvesting data will do anything they can to continue harvesting data. The regulation just makes that require…
Let's see, how many times did I get robo-called in the last decade? Zero :) Sometimes the regulations are heavy-handed and ill-conceived. Most of the time, they are influenced by one lobby or another. For example, car…
It is entirely unreasonable to prevent a general purpose model to be distributed for the largely frivolous reason that maybe some copyrighted works could be approximated using it. We don´t make metallurgy illegal…
You don't need cookie banners if you don't use invasive telemetry. A website that sticks to being a website does not need cookie banners.
The article did in fact not make an attempt to demonstrate the claim in its title.
Imagine getting fired because you wanted to respect the DMCA of all things. I'd be curious for details, though you probably shouldn't tell.
In my experience long time contractors will absolutely "quiet quit" if put into the same catch-22 situations that push employees to do this. The main difference at least in my region is that if you're a contractor then…
It's getting sort of ridiculous how much each party is stuck in an electoral strategy where they have to pretend to be on one side of an issue which is objectively against the interests of the people they pretend to be…
I wonder what's the theory of harm behind such law. Employers competing over talent is... illegal? Explains a lot actually.
Reminds me of this technically true but still bizarre finding about electric bikes being ultimately more energy-efficient than human-powered bikes.
Everyone is ethically responsible for their own actions. As a software developer I don't work for ad companies. Why would a lawyer accept any client regardless of ethical concerns unless said lawyer is a scumbag?
Genius idea, though in the grand scheme of things this is probably bad.
Stanford doesn't need your money
This could also be simply due to the Ivy league institution providing the service being bought. In other words, the parents of Timmy might be fed up and stop being sponsors if he gets bad grades. Of course in rigorous…
I'm going to have to agree with Scott Galloway here, however much I hate to admit that. The problem isn't so much how admissions are selected, the problem is that admissions went from a fairly normal thing for any…
Despite claiming the opposite, teenagers are sponges for whatever floats in society around them. When most of the highly valued voices in society tell them that they should be sad and anxious and traumatized, is it…
The parallels between real life and Brave New World are positively uncanny. Even the demographic dynamics of the real world suggest that we're on the path to a state-driven reproductive system.
Having been on the receiving end of actual real-life bullying from 90% of my peers (the other 10% being bystanders) through high school because I was younger (among other things), I can tell you that Lord of the Flies…
Sounds interesting, could you translate to English?
The cap and trade principle is sound however legislators have allowed naked scams to legally claim that they are offsetting carbon output. Such as owning a piece of forest land and pinky-swear you're not going to…
Big difference between allowing everyone build nukes and allowing everyone to share the information necessary to build nukes.
So you're admitting that an AGI that pipes into /dev/null is harmless even if given the directive to destroy humanity? The danger is in what they're hooked up to, not the containerized math that happens inside the model.
I agree with the analysis though LLMs might not be the specific tech that makes it. I think the truly humanity-respecting solution is to figure out and implement a stable and fair-er 50% post-labor society before we…
