Bold of you to assume they actually have products ;)

I think the good solution is to introduce a bit of "shame" into the system -- de-anonymized submissions and reviews. You'd be less willing to publish ai slop if your name had to be…

Bizarre oversimplification. For both manipulation and autonomous driving, google has invested in approaches with custom hardware, and off-the-shelf hardware, and a blend (which is …

It is at least somewhat relevant. A persons political persuasion can tell you something about their values, and the policies they would prefer enacted for a given topic. Republican…

The parent comment mentioned "blogs" and "everyday websites." Do you want to make a case for why exactly a percentage increase calculator app needs ads?

There is a third option, that the content does not need to be monetized.

This is the 6th blog post, making the average cost per post only $333 million! What a steal for the VCs.

I don't want to be a Zuckerberg hater, but is there any thing Zuckerberg has done or said in the last few years that wasn't mundane, reactionary or self-aggrandizing? In other word…

$80 billion written off for the metaverse. Think about the number of kids that were harmed being fed ads and nonsense content to enable this... this a scandal IMO.

The author of this article disagrees: > “Don’t Be Evil” wasn’t just a slogan of often-referenced Googliness—it was a north star for teams making hard calls. It definitely counts fo…

Sure why not. How is that any different that what already happens at airports?

Why are those things naturally "whats next"? We allow bars and car companies to verify age before conducting business. Does that in itself lead to racial discrimination? I think no…

I never said half the country is irrational. I specifically called out that people in power do not care to live in a shared reality with the rest of us. They lie directly [1][2], o…

Science being partisan right now has nothing to do with funding. It has to do with the disdain that the people currently in power have to live in a shared reality with the rest of …

> whether there are black holes at a redshift of 10 or not is not a partisan issue. Anything that depends on a basic understanding of the scientific process, and resulting scientif…

I've been at a few VC / startup events recently and I was stunned to see the number execs frothing at the mouth about finding a 1-person-ai-driven-billion-dollar-startup. This "pla…

Every conversation about the existence of billionaires misses the point: Its not about whether or not billionaires should exist. Its about whether they should exist at the same mom…

> I wouldn't buy this huge set for my kids because that price tag is crazy, but I like buying some of the mid-size sets for them because it's a nice injection of specialty pieces t…

Even if it is fixable, there are costs involved for the fixing. A broken hotel lamp will sit in a landfill for all eternity. "Moving fast and breaking things" could be acceptable i…

> Moving fast and breaking things is fine, as long as you fix the stuff you break... What? No its not. Breaking things can cause harm that is not always "fixable", particularly if …

"All models are wrong, but some are useful" What your describing is already how a lot of science, technology, and engineering works!

Between this comment, and the comment above, I dont know what feels like fair criticism here. Having a single perfect product strategy with non-overlapping product categories and u…

I'd argue that the engineers of 20 years ago were better than the engineers of today because they were significantly more resource constrained and for example, would never use a 30…

Not sure why this is hitting the home page right now but people may also be interested in Mujoco Playground [1] which is the latest RL environment wrapper of mujoco, implementing b…

Snowdens document leaks happened in 2013 (implying the surveillance state was set up well before then). So this is more a leisurely stroll than a sprint.
