Now, tell me more about the fantastic results of
- North Korea
- Soviet Union
- Chinese Communist Party
- Venezuela
- Argentina
- Cuba
- India (under socialism)
She strongly believes in increased content moderation by "fact checkers".
She's spread misinformation herself like
- Suggesting Russian disinformation on Facebook shifted the 2016 election (anyone who's run a facebook ad in their life knows how absurdly ridiculous this is)
- Advocating for increased censorship of information during COVID on lab leak hypothesis
This is just off a few minutes of reading her past work.
I'm not a fan of Facebook (in the slightest) but also am really not a fan of the type of censorship this person wants.
Tesla trades at an insanely inflated multiple compared to other car manufacturers. It’s pretty clear they’ve had no difficulty raising money.
Any possibility of making it open source?
Do you have a donation link? Would love to send a few bucks your way as a thank you. Currently working on memorizing the intervals and this will be super helpful.
It's a bit pricey at $20 a month but totally worth it.
ML is obviously a huge topic. So are you mainly talking about deep learning related stuff?
If that's the case, I'd recommend fast.ai.
For Data Analysis related stuff, just find any O'Reilly book on Pandas.
For Backend Web Dev, look for a book on Flask. It should be very easy to pick up if you've done backend stuff with JS.
In terms of learning Python "syntax", it's honestly really simple. I'd just get a Chat GPT-4 membership and then just copy and paste any syntax you don't understand and ask it to explain it to you.
ML? Backend web dev? Leetcode?
Hard to recommend a course without more detail.
The discovery OpenAI could've made might've been on techniques to teach LLMs reasoning.
That would be very big.
Half the board members have a background in ML.
Why should they be able to make the decision to implode the entire company over this?
Why should they have the ability to give zero transparency or comms to the public on their decision?
OpenAI's governance structure was idiotic and glad to see the board members fired.
The example of "lack of candor" that Ilya provided was "Altman was said to have given two people at OpenAI the same project."
Hilarious how Hacker News is unable to understand that Ilya was just trying to grab power.
Well, they can unring the bell pretty easy. They were given an easy out.
Reinstate Sam (he wants to come back) and resign.
However, they CONTINUE to push back and refuse to step down.
And crazy news just keeps on coming…
Maybe read up a bit - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_liberalisation_in_Ind...
When you're referring to two people, then exploited always refers to definition 1.
Have you ever heard anyone say "I exploited my employee" in a context where they're referring to definition 2?
If you're talking about mineral deposits or something, then sure... you can apply definition 2. "The company exploited the ore's rich iron deposits".
You just randomly threw in the word exploitation again.
They're aren't being exploited. Wages are different across the world because of cost of living & PPP.
As the article stated, a child can earn 4 times the national minimum wage. That's not exploitation. They're much better off.
Expecting every American company to pay American wages for workers in Pakistan would hurt people in Pakistan as it completely eliminates the incentive for companies to send jobs there.
> is an opportunity to study and question the system that creates the conditions such that there is a labor market comprising children who are available for exploitation for cheap labor by very rich Western companies
The reason why is because Western countries embraced market-based economies whereas India, China, South America, etc. spent decades embracing socialism/communism and threw away decades of potential growth/prosperity.
A very interesting experiment is to look at North Korea and South Korea. In the 1950s, both countries were identical. One went the market-based route and allied with the West. The other went the communist-route and allied with China.
You can also look at the "Asian Tiger Economies". Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. They all embraced market-based economies and and their economies exploded with prosperity.
There's tons of research into why some countries prosper and some don't.
There is no double standard.
For the vast majority of CEOs, if they tried to start another company as a side-hustle then they'd also get fired (and potentially sued).
For the CEOs who can run multiple companies at once, there's several factors
- they founded the company, so they have a majority of voting rights so they can't get fired
- they're so valuable to the company that the shareholders are willing to put up with them running multiple companies at once (and shareholders will definitely grumble about it)
For you, you're not really valuable to the company so if you try to work multiple jobs at once then they have no qualms with replacing you.
If you were a valuable enough IC then you could definitely get into a situation where you're working with multiple companies at once.
People do this with consulting arrangements, where they create a consulting company and are able to work with multiple entities at once because they've given themselves enough leverage to do so.
The issue isn't a double standard. The issue is that you haven't put yourself in a situation where you have enough leverage over the company to work multiple jobs.

Lol hacker news is honestly so exhausting these days...
There was a hangup over a 5 pm deadline but looks like the board gave in.
Regardless of whether or not sam is coming back to OpenAI, the board is 100% getting fired.
And regardless of what happens here, everyone on the board is 100% getting fired.
