The fact that they can get a job in another country easily doesn't mean they don't fear being required to leave this one. Most immigrants like the US and don't want to leave it, and even if they didn't care about the US in particular they've often built lives here that they don't want to uproot. I've seen several really smart, talented people get booted out of the country over bizarre rules or immigration snafus, even with help from expensive immigration attorneys. It's stupid.

And, of course, many more are willing to be abused by their employers in order to stay. I don't see that problem so much, because although I work with a lot of people on H1Bs, my employer (Google) treats them well, pays them the same as citizens, etc. But it make sense that there is a lot of abuse in the broader industry.

That doesn't happen much, not unless the worker is forced to go back because of crappy H1B policies. The fact is that nearly all foreign workers would love to stay permanently.

Anyone remember the good old days when there was ONE video streaming service and you could pay one monthly fee and watch almost everything you wanted?

And then the various big companies started getting greedy and wanted to launch their own streaming service, and it got to the point where if you wanted to watch a variety of shows, it would end up costing as much, if not more than cable TV?

And then the big companies started cheating on their contracts and terminating the streaming rights of multiple shows and movies so they wouldn't have to pay the writers/actors/etc a share of the streaming rights?

It was right about then that video piracy started seeming like a good idea again.

Well, there is a non-zero probability that the Earth could enter a runaway warming cycle and become another Venus, with surface temperatures exceeding 400C. The planet wouldn't be destroyed, but life would probably be wiped out. AFAIK we haven't found any life form that can survive above about 120C.

That seems unlikely, though, given that Earth's hottest phases so far (after the crust cooled, anyway) have been considerably cooler than that.

I don't see any indication that Google thinks Vids are better than Docs.

So... remain in Mexico is the only one? Mexico has said they won't agree to reinstate it, and without their cooperation it would put the US in violation of our treaties. The president can't legally break treaties; Congress needs to act for that.

To be clear, I'm not arguing that this is good... only that it might be less bad than it seems. I don't like video either.

I hear you. This is Google, though, and they already do automated transcripts of Meet meetings and YouTube videos. Odds are good that you'll be able to easily get a skimmable and searchable transcript, and to be able to jump into a location of the video by clicking on the transcript. Might not be there in the first release, though.

We'll see, but I suspect that integration into Google's other office tools may give it a solid place. It doesn't have to be the best, it just has to be good enough, and well-integrated.

LLMs can't but there are theorem proving systems that can. Of course, this is just another example of how LLM's -- whatever their strengths -- are not general intelligences. We have many domain-specific systems that meet or exceed human capabilities, but we don't have artificial general intelligence at all, and don't know how to get there. I'm sure we will get there because I don't believe there's anything supernatural about human intelligence, but we don't know what we don't know about general intelligence.

True, if by "AI" you mean Artificial General Intelligence.

And that's what it will be when it is AI, too. It's almost certainly not the composition that's the problem, but the structure. We don't yet know how to structure the words, loops and integers to create AI. We will. But no one knows when.

I have, been using it since launch. Well since the opening of the general beta; I didn't try to get into the limited betas.

No, you wouldn't. Not after a few hours of experience with it. You pretty quickly learn what sorts of situations it handles well and which it might need you to take over. This doesn't mean you can go to sleep or stop paying attention to the road, but it does mean that you can relax more than if you were driving yourself. I find that my focus changes; I stop paying a lot of attention to the small details and instead pay more attention to the big picture. I feel like I have a much better sense of what's going on all around me when I'm using FSD -- and driving with FSD is less tiring, which becomes very apparent on long road trips. I dislike driving more than a couple of hours without it.

I agree with your argument about the semantics of the name, but what it's called has no bearing on whether or not it's useful.

Actually, we now know nothing more about whether it will or will not happen than we did before Elon said it.

In order for Elon's statement to assure us that it will not, Elon would actually have to know something about it. He doesn't. No one does.

That's not an example of a corporation being successfully sued by shareholders because they failed to prioritize profit over safety.

Is air safety decreasing? It doesn't appear to be: https://www.airlines.org/datas...
