Look at the recent ruling on this topic.
This is a conspiracy theory.
I agree that anti-competitive coercion of access is bad.
Once again we are word associating. The claim was that xAI is doing obviously bad engineering. Your supporting evidence is you know somebody who works at SpaceX who isn’t smart. > I knew two guys with sub 2.5 GPAs in…
The president just tried to operate an executive order and it got shut down by the courts. The specific ruling is about the president being immune from criminal charges while in office. And yeah, you can’t be taking…
Agreed. Different organizations with different incentives. Neither of them have the privileged or an unbiased view.
I guess the existence of that gambling website invalidates the point that companies can be incentivized to produce accurate information. If companies don’t even benefit then why should the government produce it? Who is…
I would characterize it as the things the government would lie about are different than the things a company would lie about.
That sounds like the arrangement you said we have. The government provides data to private companies who then mass distribute it in various forms because those costs and needs vary.
Making money requires accurate information about the world. For example I was just learning about how farmers hire scientists to grade chicken feed. They are incentived by their own profit to get good information about…
Your desire for a higher oversight authority beyond the chief executive suggests you may have concerns about the efficacy of democracy.
And governments don’t face bad incentives that would cause them to hide information?
So then we are subsidizing Google’s outsized usage of that API?
Operating an API isn’t free either and the needs and scale change dramatically for customer. So you would rather the public pay for Google to use weather data on a massive scale?
Private companies don’t care about having accurate data? Does the government have private access to forming unbiased information?
All agencies are ultimately accountable to the public via democratically elected leaders as the Supreme Court recently upheld. No part of the government is independent body, it’s in one of the 3 branches.
Hmm. This is striking me as low quality speculation.
What bad practices are you imagining?
I know of some financial analysts who don’t like to pull data in from reports automatically. They prefer to read each row and copy it into their spreadsheet because they actually contemplate what the number means.
I mostly agree and I don’t think you are contradicting my claim. > stupidity is very general So then what do you call the general ability of the absence of stupidity? Einstein does have a high IQ. > Expertise is a…
Intelligence is actually extremely general and transferrable - IQ measures meta skills and ability that predicts success in a plethora of areas. If you don’t believe in IQ consider agency and conscientiousness
Yes. People who grew up in the 40s and 50s in the US are common targets of scams because the world they grew up in is very trusting. Adults of the same age who grew up in the east bloc? Much more skeptical. > history of…
> immediately bought a one way flight out of country Is this referring to a foreign national who can leave at any time?
James Cameron claims it’s real. But I think that doesn’t exclude filming slow and speeding up later.
Rust itself has CVEs. Which projects are you referring to?
