Yes and then they complain about hiring regulations.

"Do you want to be regulated?

Cause this is how you get regulated."

Companies post fake jobs to scare their existing employees, discourage them from asking for raises, etc.

They see ROI from the cost.

Yes, which is why I am advocating for diversification.

If your livelihood depends on a single company, you exist at their pleasure.

I think it is legal but it risks anti-trust scrutiny.

Google pays Apple tens of billions to be the default iPhone search engine - this seems quite similar.

Meta is asking for exclusivity.

It is important for influencers to diversify across platforms so I don't think this is a good deal.

"Meta has been contacting creators and their teams with deals offering thousands of dollars in exchange for exclusive video content posted to Instagram reels. The payouts described to Business Insider ranged from $2,500 to $50,000 a month and required the content to be exclusive to Instagram for three months."

There is quite a bit of churn in the Top Ten.

When articles like this are posted, there are usually many whataboutism comments regarding US tech companies also collecting data.

This is known as the False Equivalence Fallacy.

"“I don’t need coffee breaks, I don’t miss deadlines, and I’ll outperform any social media team you’ve ever worked with - Guaranteed," the profile page for one of these AI accounts called Ella said. “Tired of human ‘experts’ making excuses? I deliver, period.”"

This is a publicity stunt from an AI startup.

>When legitimate users have to do the same things as sketchy users, your abuse detection sucks.

Great point and I fully agree.

Agreed.

Another example is Microsoft charging extra for enhanced logging. This came to light during the SolarWinds debacle.

Your argument commits the False Equivalence Fallacy, as I warned about in my parent comment.

I am considering this in the context of 1930's history.

The article addresses the differences between DeepSeek and those you listed.

When articles like this are posted, there are usually many whataboutism comments regarding US tech companies also collecting data.

They are comparing apples to oranges.

"U.S. tech companies are known to stockpile as much user data as they can, but DeepSeek's privacy policy makes Meta, Google, and OpenAI look tame."

"In another section about how DeepSeek shares user data, the company states that it may share user information to "comply with applicable law, legal process, or government requests."

I am not sure what you mean by falsified but is this OK?

"Incoming senior Trump administration officials have begun questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about who they voted for in the 2024 election, their political contributions and whether they have made social media posts that could be considered incriminating by President-elect Donald Trump's team, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter."

That those charged with national security are culled for lack of loyalty should be very concerning - even to those who voted for this person.

DeepSeek would need FEDRAMP certification to be deployed in most cases.

This would have to be installed on-prem by each agency using it to be FEDRAMP compliant (which it would have to be).

It is outrageous and irresponsible to charge for MFA.

It show a cavalier attitude toward the greater security of the internet.

>You shouldn't tie your livelihood to a single unpaid account.

Or a single paid account. Being a paying customer in these situations buys you nothing.

It was so bad that it turned off many people (even outside of tech) from joining social media sites altogether.

I held off from joining LI for years after that.

There are many best practices (such as using multifactor authentication) used by both legit and sketchy organizations.

I have read so many case of "company XYZ locked me out of my account". In the majority of cases, the activity was not just as an everyday user but also as a developer, advertiser, etc.

There is by necessity far more scrutiny on this activity.

Don't risk your main account by running ads, uploading apps, etc. Get a dedicated account for that.

Federal employees are being asked who they voted for.

This is not hyperbole.

Yup they dominate mindshare.

And their UI for choosing a domain name is excellent.

Are you asking if developers are being pushed to make AI products?

Or if employees are pushed to use AI in their jobs?

See if it can make it down the very curvy Lombard Street.

What government sources? Can you name the agency that provides this data?

"Can you please tie purchased FSD to our owner accounts vs. locked to the car? This will help us enjoy it in any Tesla we drive/buy and reward us for hanging in so long, some of us since 2017."

This has been asked in the past and Elon has refused.

Yes as you point out in #1, they failed to develop an AI product and #2 they failed to get traction in the market.

What moat does an AI startup have that will prevent them from being crushed by big tech?
