That assumption presumes the existence of more than one model. Currently, numerous models are being developed frequently, and I hope the price decreases. However, if a single model captures 90% of the market, the others will cease to be updated, making it easier to control. What would transpire in an authoritarian country? Would they permit a disputed border to be included in that model? If that company were acquired by the first trillionaire, could they alter history to favor any wrongdoings they committed to achieve that status? Power is accumulating, not dispersing.

This also means they'll be excellent at changing history for those who wish history was more aligned with their views.

I'm really curious if we'll ever know the extent to which bot, fake and zombie accounts have polarized us...

So the person who’s not currently president saved a service turning off that didn’t need to be turned off… sounds like marketing more than anything.

This has calling out favorite celebrity saying "Fine I'll marry you" when they don't know who you energy ...

Agreed about Musk. Elon Musk as an example of caring, is ignorant of his actions vs his narrative. Example him saying he says he's the best diablo player in the world, vs seeing him play poorly.

We live in a world full of people doing good who don't do it for the "player 1 energy"

Isn't Facebook's investors the same as the VP? I suspect FB & Whitehouse are closer in ties in 2024 than 2020 or 2016 based on that and less about the red vs blue theatrics of politics.

It’s similar to rental apartments. They think the challenge of changing jobs/apartment is bigger than the improvement of salary/rent. They’ll difference is the smaller salary increase or the rent increase is maximized to help their finances not yours.

It’s less that they are made in other states. It’s that they used all the resources here then left after making it big. Pull up the ladder after succeeding.

How long until it can quickly without you noticing add a daemon running on your system. This is the equivalent of how we used to worry about Soviet spies getting access to US secrets, and now we just post them online for everyone to see.

There's no antivirus or firewall today that can protect your files from the ability this could have to wreck havoc on your network, let alone your computer.

This scene comes to mind: https://makeagif.com/i/BA7Yt3

I suspect the unspoken part is *of those who can't afford to pay the fines for bad behavior.

Tesla was worth 1.01T when he announced the purchase and now worth 571B.. shouldn’t his salary be worth less cause my investments in Tesla are half of what they were.

Elon tweets roughly 30 times a day ... how much time is he really focusing on Tesla? Opportunity cost effects everyone even billionaires. I'd love to see a Tesla Employee with 5 other jobs and on social media that much not being fired by Elon.

1M isn't the F-you money it was back when Barenaked Ladies wrote the song. I'm curious if anyone who had 1B would actually do something to better the world rather than private jets, drugs and other of the deadly sins...

This is the thermometer vs thermostat problem. Everyone is focused on juicing the cheap dopamine for a quick buck, and so most games are thermometers. What games are trying to change the gaming landscape. Games like StarCraft are all about strategy. But even blizzard isn’t investing in that type of game anymore

This is concerning and a huge opportunity for Security thieves to learn what you did before they connected to your computer. Then make it easier to have async calls when you repeat the action they want to hack.

Ohh I see you bank at Bank of America, I'll create a script to reroute through my server and give me full access to your account instead.

I loved this game… I tried to remake on mobile and it didn’t have the same appeal.

Wouldn't be any different than Cigarette Companies blocking a global deal to end cigarette ban, Or Lobbyist blocking ban on bribing - I mean lobbying politicians....

The meme "I declare bankruptcy" comes to mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-m3RtoguAQ

This company is doing too well - ripe for hostile take over. Elon, MSFT and others would love to take control. There will be a movie made about today.

Pricing everyone out of the API allows him a lot of control over proving shadow banning

I still get headhunted for backend engineering jobs, and I haven't done that in 13 years. It's not even on my resume ... but I guess you can see it on Linkedin, so why not.

By labeling it that - you are devaluing the term for dictatorships that use state run media to manipulate the state. How is NPR being manipulated by Biden? Has he been talking to their staff like the previous administration spoke to a conservative media star?

Words need to matter. You could call this Federally funded media - but he didn't .. And like others have said funny he didn't label Tesla or Space X state sponsored car company. They are (and should be imo) This was just playing politics.

Unless something has changed. My h1b salary has always been close to if not more than my peers.. not saying it doesn’t happen, just never did for me.

Considering a certain politician is getting special treatment, based on the "I dare you to jail me" attitude around threatening judges... Do you really think a new rule will prevent politicians in that party from abiding by any regulation?? Rules typically work best if they have equal treatment.

Personally I'd start outside of politics, which would help make precedent be very obvious.

I highly doubt they'll call it AI. Probably "Siri Upgrade" Or New on device machine learning models that map language.

I've read that we are starting up use other sources of heat to do desalination projects. There's so many sources of heat that we are just dissipating into the atmosphere. Nuclear or other power plants is an obvious choice.

It just makes it easier to use - meaning less glue code. Making CoreData Swift + SwiftUI native approach. Where currently you'd have to make a Core Data class wrapped by a @Observable Class.

Why can't I use 2 fingers ....
