Yes, but the social media companies WANT regulation. The absence of it creates a no-win situation where self-regulating cedes grounds to your less scrupulous competitors and not re…

But, to be fair, many companies hire organizational psychologists and other such people to make their products addictive and to understand exactly how to make the most money on you…

Can any lawyer chime in for us laymen? This seems like such a broad law that can be interpreted to allow any punishment against basically anything especially since "public morals" …

Irrationally? The man fired tens of thousands of American citizens from their jobs on a whim, disproportionately veterans. Failed at his ultimate goal after firing everyone, and th…

> But let's be real - gross negligence and incompetence aside war with Iran was always going to happen, somehow, under some pretext. And they prepared for it for a long time. And t…

It is to their benefit in several ways: They can use this ability to keep oil prices down to sort of back up their strategic goals. They could block a strait themselves while takin…

Could say the same about filming on IMAX, refusing to use CGI, various cost cutting measures taken by cheaper looking Netflix movies. Idk, the need to worry about cost fluctuates w…

Sure but I meant now they are making more than before they might not be as cost sensitive going forward

I wonder if this will change as Hollywood is eyeing three $1B+ box office earners back to back to back this summer

That's alleged by Apple and it again is alleged behavior of the employee not of OpenAI itself. Hilarious of you to say "read the complaint" when you don't yourself understand it!

They understand the very small amount which is used in their far shorter rituals. The original Bible isn't in Latin nor are Catholic masses in Latin anymore

He should not be fired while trials are going on to determine if his conduct was criminal, against policies or not. That would open them up to wrongful termination if he prevails i…

They are currently in a suit with Apple over this. If they fire him and Apple loses the suit and a jury decides he didn't even steal documents (a possible outcome) then he can sue …

> the evidence is damning–and comprehensive–against their interests No it is not. An employee stole info from his former employer. There is no proof OpenAI asked for this or used i…

Businesses don't just price gouge. They often expand their product lines or have R&D to come up with new products and that's more costly than just making the same shoe with the sam…

He is not OpenAI. I can steal trade secrets from my employer and get a job as a Ben and Jerry's Ice cream scooper, it doesn't mean Ben and Jerry's has stolen those secrets

Why would they fire him and settle with Apple? If they haven't done anything wrong, why settle? If he hasn't used the material at work but has some problem with his former employer…

"come on" isn't any kind of proof

Because it's part of an investigation. Again this isn't proof of anything. He may have not ever used this information at work yet and so this is an issue between him and his former…
