    Per the article, all current European data centers used 62 million cubic meters of water for 2024. That is 3.4% of only Spain's existing desalination capacity (≈1.8 billion m³/yr).…

    Upvoting this since presumably you're actually the CTO at Snyk and people should see your official response, but wow this feels wildly irresponsible. You could have proved the PoC …

    I know of many, many LLM systems in production system, since that's what I've been helping companies build since the start of the year. Mostly it's pretty rote automation work but …

    Presumably one of the PMs you’re referring to has posted this article for additional information. Feels like they’re doubling down on their initial position. https://support.zendes…

    Wild response. It appears you did not learn a single lesson through this process.

    There are legit criticisms of Sam Altman that can be levied but none of them are in this article. This is just reductive nonsense. The arguments are essentially: 1. The technology …

    Good. In the US, we should all wake up to the fact that we enjoy the lives we lead in large part to the fact that we’re able to project strength. AI will be another piece in the pu…

    Seems reasonable? If you’re planning on staying free forever and are already gated to 90 days of history, why would you care if they delete 1+ year old content? From a privacy pers…

    Yeah. I enjoy it for watching movies/shows, especially while flying. I also like to do a couple of hours of work (programming) in a cool environment with immersive music every coup…

    Feels like this is going to become one of those things we look back on in retrospect and regret. We should be full steam ahead on identifying what effects microplastics & phthalate…

    Wow. I understand business models that are freemium but for a premium priced B2B product? This feels like an incredible rug pull. This changes things for me.

    I'm not sure when OpenAI added them, but you can hear similar things when using the ChatGPT voice mode on iOS. Sometimes it feels almost like a latency stutter and other times it f…

    Fantastic news. I use them all the time in Phoenix. My mom uses them to get to her doctor appointments. I think people underestimate how much of a quality of life improvement these…

    Seems like a big deal that this is open weights. Am I missing something or is this a very serious contender to Stable Diffusion?

    Is your contention that all of these websites and providers all simultaneously decided, incorrectly, to use these popups and that there is no legal requirement for them?
