Headline is dumb, the point is that not mentioning security in the prompt is effectively a jailbreak. The shutdown may be dumb/politically motivated, but this definitely is a jailb…

probably the same reason they put banners on the site asking for money

ok and it's worth discussing on its merits. but "wikipedia is private equity" is a dumb thing to say and it matters to actually make concrete criticisms instead of throwing around …

It's not at all like the structure OpenAI was. OpenAI had a bizarre structure where the non-profit held shares in a for-profit sub-corporation. That's not how WMF is set up. Did th…

and which part of this makes any sense at all when applied to the wikimedia foundation

and who exactly owns shares of the 501(c)3 wikimedia foundation?

it's pretty team/org dependent. on the aggregate i suspect big tech works pretty light hours compared to other jobs in the same pay scale

you can disagree with that comment but its clearly not PR speak lmao. not everyone who disagrees with you is astroturfed

I think "worthy cause" is a poor choice of words from the OP, but the idea is: WMF has goals that it wants to accomplish in the world, and they should staff on that basis, not on t…

why not? isn't the implication of your point that companies should just hire infinitely so long as there's work to be done?

being an ethical vegan does not mean you like the taste of plants (or, at least, that you don't miss the taste of meat). I'm veg and very much miss having access to meat. I'm an oc…

Yeah, a clearer explanation in the rejection email would have been nice, or perhaps even a warning in response to the proposal (though it's not 100% clear from the proposal alone t…

looks awesome

There are not more bike lanes than real roads and to think that's even plausible shows how totally warped your understanding of reality is. most people in nyc do not drive, you're …

I guess, but the amount of space and inefficiency that building a highway that literally runs over 1 block over the middle of a city would seem to be not at all worth it.

You must be fun at parties

Seems unlikely that there would be 'enterprise features'... the value of Docker is that you can send a Dockerfile somewhere and it will work identically on each system. If they cha…
