    This should not have happened. But I have a hard time finding any sympathy for cryptocurrency folks. The quote from the article: "I lost my retirement fund in a hack/Scam when I sw…

    I know, but given the subject of the OP it was an irrelevant garbage comment from a jilted user trying to smear the company. It deserves an equally obtuse response.

    No it's design files. Like CAD stuff.

    It's probably good signal at least, if not a bit of a harsh thing to say that I don't mean in a bad way, that your writing was bland or mediocre since LLMs are basically regression…

    This incident is creepy enough that I would also not agree to a give a random stranger a ride home, absent any additional context or mitigations. Maybe to avoid waking up in an ice…

    I think I'd rather have them working on airplane tech rather than writing airplane tech press releases. With this approach, it's not just a tactical thing; it's relieving the burde…

    Ugh, I'm pretty sure it's Big CED deceptively here to muddy the waters and obfuscate superior LaserDisc Technology. Perhaps flag the post so the moderators can see it and make sure…

    Because the hoards of people who can't find the ` or | or $ on their keyboard outnumber competent people 100:1. I had this exact experience too, so frustrating. Moved to a strictly…

    This is why I haven't used OpenAI since early 2023-ish, and when I did I signed up with a masked email (though notably I'm sure they can tie my chats to me via my credit card :) ).…

    If shame were a motivator for this administration or the current grifter class, neither of these things would exist to the current Armageddon-level they currently do. That is to sa…

    "It's not about saving time, it's about eliminating the mental toll from having to context switch" This broke my brain! Woah!

    Lots of organizations have massively increased government efficiency in the USA. 18F comes to mind as one.

    If nothing else, the "Political Operations Abroad" section of USAID's wiki has some links and background.
