Now if you cant use another language, change project. Go is not perl nor python, it's a sophisticated C. Use a sophisticated C for the wrong project / product and you'll want to kill yourself.

My view is that we let KYC be and once you have KYC, video surveillance is just more or less the same so why not do it.

And by KYC I mean KYC for the people. KYC for big accounts is justified. KYC for the average Joe, it's just surveillance.

Once you have that, video is just around the corner.

Fun times.

Now call me crazy but I disagree. I think - or rather I feel - he's doing an excelent job somehow. He's doing what other executives are afraid to do: he's building and building requires some walls to be hammered down ; and yeah this makes some noise and smoke. He's moving fast and breaking things (if you'd excuse the easy punt). To me, what he's doing is exciting and I think twitter is gonna thrive once the big work is done.

Mmh not sure this is helping.

Just to confirm, does that person code all day there? (real question)

Seems silly enough to get you somewhere cool. Though the best pass is recommendation. Impress your colleagues so bad, they will recommend you somewhere one day.

than for impactful work at my actual job

Oh you have to fight hard to get one of those. You cant just do what you're told. Ive got a cool story to tell from my time at amazon but I fought heroically to get it (I was younger though).

I guess hiring is just incredibly noisy

Careful what you believe because your belief becomes your reality.

If you want to be great, you cant just act and think like anybody else. Work on yourself and be great. Get the mindset first.

"life has strange ways"

The bests have cool stories to tell.

Take an AI for example, like say gpt4, and picture it being tought or being able of survival instincts. How would one differentiate such a beast from life?

I know it's imprecise at best but still, Id bet the key is there. Maybe the question should not be "what is consciousness?" but rather "what is survival instincts?".

Not so long ago, I would have certainly agreed with you until I met this one girl.

So we started dating and, a couple months in, sometimes, as a joke, I use to say to her: "the first time I saw you, blablabla beautiful blablabla a star in the sky blablabla". I did that not only once but many many times. And every time, every time, she would have the exact same answer. She would say: "the first time I saw you, I thought 'oh bof'" (meaning she thought I was mediocre). So you know, I thought she only plays hard to get, like women do. That didnt bother me. Time passes and I kept going with my "the first time I saw you .."s. Kind of know she liked it anyway. And she kept on having the same answer.

At one point I thought something was strange. She kept on having those exact same words again and again. 'Oh bof'. Again and again. I could sense she was actually trying to tell me something entirely else.

Until I realised what she was saying. When I did realised what she was saying, I was shocked.

The first time I saw her... what I really thought was... 'Oh bof'. This is literally word for word what I thought the first time I saw her. I thought in my head: 'Oh bof'. But not only the words matched perfectly, the ton as well.

I pass on the details but let me tell you that girl knew exactly my state of mind even when I was in the next room.

Thats the time I learnt some people can tell exactly what you think just by looking at you. This is frightening. They can because they started observing people at a very young age. They love to observe people. Exactly like it is said in that pg's post: they observe.

You've got to learn to differentiate "you are acting like a child" and "someone somewhere is playing with you". Listen and trust your feelings. If you're feeling bad, 90% of the time it's your body warning you of some external danger.

Force yourself to trust yourself.

I disagree - I think that AI generative art is an easy case of copyright infrigement and an easy win for a bunch of good lawyers.

That's because you can't find an artist for a generated picture other than the ones in the training set. If you can't find a new artist, then the picture belongs to the old ones, so to speak. I really dont see what's difficult with that case. I think the internet assume a bit to quickly it's a difficult question and a grey area when maybe it just isnt.

It's noteworthy that Adobe did things differently than the others and the way they did things goes in the direction im describing here. Maybe it's just confirmation bias.

Say you generate a picture with midjourney - who is/are the closest artist(s) you can find for that picture?

Not the AI, not the prompter, so the closest artists you can find for that picture are the ones who made the pictures in the training set. So generating a picture is outright copyright infringement. Nothing to do with unfairness in the sense of "artists get out compete". Artists dont get out compete - they are stolen.
