If that’s how they learn not to share intimate and personal data with the billionaires, then that’s how they learn.
Let’s not engage in blaming the victims.
There’s no reason to treat the behavior of these corporations as if it were normal and inevitable, like they were a force of nature or something. Put all the blame where it belongs, on the people running these companies.
I don’t like this take, because labor unionization should be seen as a completely normal activity for workers and not a form of revolution.

The core of the problem is that deflation encourages and enables wealth hoarding. The rich get richer by doing nothing but sitting on the wealth they already have.
Partially true. It’s also an attempt to run away from deflation, which destroys economies. Holding a stable position with no inflation or deflation is not really possible in the real world.

It doesn’t matter if it was a lie then, if we choose to live by it now.
All such political documents are aspirational. In making such statements, we seek what can be, not what is. Not in cynicism of the past, but in desire to make the future better.
Marriage… Marriage is what brings us together today. Marriage, that blessed arrangement, that dream within a dream. And love, true love, will follow you forever and ever…
Hmm…

The Tragedy of systemd - presentation by Benno Rice
What I hope that this talk has provided is a removal of fear and particularly a removal of pity of SystemD and the people who actually use it. […] So, yeah, what I would challenge everyone here is look at SystemD and try and find at least one thing that you like, and then go see if you can implement it. Thank you.
Oh, wait I bet we can write a decent anime plot around this…
See there’s this thing called the Waffle House Index:
The measure is based on Waffle House’s reputation for staying open during extreme weather and for reopening quickly, albeit sometimes with a limited menu, after very severe weather events such as tornadoes or hurricanes. The chain’s disaster preparedness measures include assembling and training “Waffle House jump teams” to facilitate fast reopening after disasters.
Our hero is having a normal day working the griddle, when suddenly a kaiju destroys half the town. The hero works hard to get the restaurant open, making good use of the disaster recovery planning, and helps feed people whose homes have been destroyed, as well as the emergency response workers that come to town.
Their work is noticed, and they are recruited to join the Waffle House Jump Team as a specialist on responding to kaiju incidents. From there it’s like Evangelion, but instead of fighting and killing the monsters, the hero learns about different types through experience and develops (increasingly extreme and improbable) ways to prepare the Waffle House to survive kaiju incidents and reopen quickly, eventually leading to Waffle House creating a mech to defend and repair its locations. (End Season 1)
The reveal of the prototype mech provides the hook for Season 2.
The rise of generative AI is the death of picture or video evidence.
And the written word, as useful information is buried under mountains of generated trash.
No one to date knows what the real consequences of this will be.

Call me crazy, but maybe we shouldn’t be allowing people to work on such “advances” if they don’t have the humanities/social sciences background to understand the consequences.
Consequences be damned! We have quarterly earnings reports to worry about!

Awesome, thank you!
I mean, OK… Until every bank, government service, health care provider, etc implements this.
What app are you using to log the requests?

Nothing demonstrates a victorious nation quite like shutting down international travel and communications.
Because I’m paying for something?
I don’t know, it’s probably circumstantial.
Probably a lot of the data being shared is from chats, but not necessarily all of it. We know that OpenAI scrapes the Internet at large for training data, which would include data sets of publicly leaked PII (such as the OPM breach). It’s entirely possible that the data OpenAI is sharing about users was not given to them voluntarily by those users, but has simply been aggregated, analyzed and correlated by their AI tools.
