> There are just more regulations to comply with before a release. If you do collect personal data and do funky stuff with it. Another approach would be to not collect that personal data until you have the right process in place, and basically be regulation-compatible out-of-the-door on day one.

Even if you don't collect personal data, you need to comply with regulations to document properly the fact that you do not collect personal data.

If your organization truly don't collect or process any personal data then no, you don't have to say anything as for example GDPR doesn't even apply to you in the first place. Or are you thinking about a different directive than GDPR perhaps?

Have you thought of a future where LLM will be fined tune to target advertisment to you? I mean look at search: first iterations of search were pretty simple in term of ads. Then personalized ads came. I wouldn't help but envision the distopia where the LLM will insert personalized ads based on what you are asking for help.

I do believe this is the next natural evolution. People don't like to pay for things and ads are a proven business model. I bet the big labs are looking into this

I work in AI and love the technology. But all the hype and grandiose claims make it awkward when people ask what I do, and it makes hiring harder when experienced developers hear 'AI development' and walk away - even though it's mostly just solid full-stack engineering work.

I am always looking for roles, and I have pretty good full stack experience (a few years of C++, C#, some JS, TS, backend and frontend web, C, Zig, Rust, built a few hobby compilers and other stuff). I apply to pretty much every job that sounds reasonably good in terms of work-life balance, but I completely ignore anything that says AI. I really, really, really do not want to be part of a company that lies to itself,…

Even if you're an AI-skeptic, it's hard to argue that companies building AI customer support for example aren't en route to improving the whole "calling your ISP's team in India" experience.

Off topic, but just in case: is there a good reference on how people actually use LLMs on a daily basis ? All my attempts so far have been pretty underwhelming: * when I use chatbots as search engines, I'm very quickly disappointed by obvious hallucinations * I ended up disabling github copilot because it was just "auto-complete on steroids" at best, and "auto-complete on mushrooms" at worst * I rarely have use cases…

I think it excels when you know enough to precisely describe what you want but you don’t know enough about the details of the language or framework you’re using to implement what you want.

You don’t understand the Musk business model. It has been the same for years. His wealth doesn’t come from his products, but from his fanbase buying his stock. The purpose of everything he does is to influence the public opinion to make him the tech genius of today in the collective psyche. Of course, he needs to do impressive things, stuff that a normal person wouldn’t have the resources to achieve. It’s similar to…

>his fanbase buying his stock That doesn't make sense as most (66%) of the stock is owned by institutions. [1] [1]: https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/TSLA/institutional-...

That's pretty normal for a company like this. Also, let's be honest, based on historic data, it has been a good investment.

Credit to the engineers that built this, but it fills me with rage that Elon has this sort of unchecked power. How long before this starts getting deployed in safety critical applications or government decision making processes? With no oversight because Elon seems to have the power to dismiss the people responsible for investigating him. Anyone not scared by this concentration of power needs to pick up a book.

Elon's unchecked power at building a model? Or at politics? I always worry whenever I see people telling me how to feel - rage in this case. We are in a political system that is oriented more around getting people to feel rage and hatred as opposed to consensus and deliberation. Elon is the face of that, but it's a much longer and larger problem. Throw in the complete dismisal that anyone not scared of this is ignora…

Has it occurred to you that the people who feel rage fundamentally understand the situation, and you may be undereducated in this area? What do you think are the root causes of that “senseless partisan drive”?

I’d suggest starting with Rick Perlman’s book “Nixonland” if you’re interested.

How so? Care to provide any meaningful information to support that?

Yeah unfortunately I've spent a good bit of time talking to Grok (v2 I guess) and I agree with you. The commenter asking people not be political would be the same commenter that seems the most dismissive of any criticism and coincidentally also the most political. Grok is generally dismissive of any criticism(s) against certain parties, even when presenting facts.
