Imagine passing a law making auto manufacturers exempt from lawsuits regarding drunk driving. We do not have an epidemic of cases suing GM everytime someone is killed in a car crash. The burden of proof still has to prove liability or negligence that would have otherwise saved a life.

Your point is sound, but we do see this type of behavior with guns quite regularly. It's not so much of a stretch to imagine it happening with tech.

I don't disagree, though, that this is nothing but politicians pandering.

I'm considering setting up a twitter account to act as a backup for my home servers. I'll just break up my encrypted tarballs into base64 or base58, 140-character segments, and tweet them! Boom, stored forever by the Internet!

Oh please do!

I can see it now...TTCP/IP: Twitter Transport Control Protocol...a new internet communications protocol. You can host it on Microsoft's Github.

Today in America, if you're anywhere Right of Lenin, you're a far-right extremist.

Tempted to post this as AC for the backlash I'll likely receive, but I stand behind my words.

The pure hatred that Republicans show Democrats, and that Democrats show Republicans (in general for both cases, not all) is absolutely disgusting. I do hope we get through this without destroying these United States.

DALL-E is a neural network that can "take any text and make an image out of it,...CLIP, the other new neural network, "can take any set of visual categories and instantly create very strong and reliable visually classifiable text descriptions,"

I only have two questions:

Can DALL-E rebuild CLIP's input from CLIP's output?

Can CLIP rebuild DALL-E's input from DALL-E's output?

It's probably aimed at Enterprise, where you always pay substantially more for substantially less. I think it's a law or something.

At my last job, they bought us $500 HP monitors to replace the Dell monitors we had (nevermind what they spent on actual computers themselves just to switch vendors!). My HP monitors were essentially like-in-kind replacements for my Dells (size, resolution, refresh rates, etc.), but over twice the price, new. I still can't fathom why they spent over $1000 on two basic 24" FHD monitors. They weren't particularly high-end or anything, just basic desktop monitors. Enterprise pricing.

I'm sure we paid less than the full listed price, but the point remains: anything aimed at Enterprise costs more and offers less.
