My country has stronger worker protections (for now) than the US, but employers would be happy (and do try!) to externalize pay to customers via tip. It doesn't work because people…

>who tips on Uber? People who aren't sociopaths, I'd say. Non-americans don't. To me, being socially expected to tip for a Taxi feels like a parody from a sketch comedy. ditto for …

Nobody tokenmaxxes because they like it, so it doesn't even produce joy. Besides, your argument is that something being wasteful is a simple binary, so we cannot make a value judge…

For sure, it's arm twisting and/or individual moles, I doubt Apple is brimming with patriotism. As far as I remember participation in the OG PRISM wasn't really optional, the only …

It's mostly bragging, it's impressive after all. Still... after the alleged Apple industrial espionage kerfuffle, I'm kinda suspicious about it being fully an accident. Y'know, you…

Here's the content rules https://openai.com/policies/ad-policies , specifically in gambling: > Ads promoting products or services that involve wagering money on games of chance, sk…

I said it on another comment, but OpenAI doesn't seem like the type of company to value human oversight and "Go beyond keywords with richer context signals" sure sounds like the re…

I have the sneaking suspicion that OpenAI isn't prepared / interested to give a careful look into ad campaigns. Any bets on fucked up ads taking advantage of the convo context? I'm…

Brainfart on my part. I was referring to what @majorchord was worrying about, the unencrypted messages in the client get exfiltrated and get sent to the spooks using steganography …

Truly being honest, I think CSAM scanning of private comms is ineffective in the long term anyways. Pedophiles aren't stupid, you'll drag a bunch at first but the networks will be …

Beyond the privacy marketing angle, e2e allows companies with global exposure to sidestep any unpleasantness when they get a subpoena from Bumfuck, Nowhere. Sure, the NSA, GCHQ and…

"Little devs" in this context is still a company that probably has investors, investors that can push for the acquisition. Even if a small dev studio is self funded or has normal d…

Not to start a linguistic rabbit hole but the correct analogy would be "a certain language and social dialect tend to produce stories with a certain theme and dialog". >Ridiculous …

Wouldn't the lack of medical expenditure win out against the loss of consumption from a pension?

Seems like it's true [0], the net migration has fallen since the year 2000. I imagine that the people commute from Poland to DE is also a factor. [0] https://stat.gov.pl/en/topics/…

(Spoilers for The Wire) I buy the whole thing that some cultures give more weight to face-saving than others. I would classify my supposedly western country (Chile) as one that giv…

As a inverse example: a (German) family member has lived fully immersed for 20+ years in my Spanish speaking country. I doubt he could pass a C2 level test, there's simply a hard l…

Linking to the equivalent of "@groq is this true??" should be mocked.

Did they pay the toll? Or the worries of NSA weren't actually bullshit?

I mean, yes? I heard of these Chinese resellers like a week ago and put it on the TODO pile due to a lack of leads. Now I'm gonna go trough the list and see if there's any I find a…

Would you care if someone gave it to you and didn't like the meaning? If God almighty descended from the heavens and told you the purpose of existence was to eventually create his …

I didn't say Mr. Johnny was hallucinating, or that he's lying. Was finding the "Written by humans" humorous the most polite comment ever? No, but it is absurd to call it harassment…

I would argue that it just shows Karp understands that the US is transitioning to a hybrid regime.

I'm sorry that I think that "Our LLM is the missing element for a group to develop nukes or bioweapons" is marketing hogwash. I'll guess we will see when or if the IPO happens. The…

The secret ingredient is public and brazen bribery, and the one thing that Anthropic doesn't lack is cash.
