But you can't copy it which is what these things are doing as we saw in the article 2 weeks ago where researchers were able to get an LLM to cough up original copyright content -and- PII in bulk from its training data.

One example of a crappy LLM and you think all AI engines are copy-pasta. First, even the crappy ones arent copy-pasta. Please educate yourself.

MAC are CLI? I guess then so is windows.... If you are managing a cluster of Mac, I feel bad for whomever.

You do know Macs are Unix underneath right? That has only been true since 2001.

And windows is dos/powershell. What is your point? Like I said, MAC was made to be a GUI just like WINDOWS.

Troll better.

And I have only used Windows for 30 years, leaving apple when Jobs left. I have no end of new production tools over that time. When I see anyone using CLI from 40 years ago and herald it as the best thing ever! I question their ability to interface with the actual customer, aka Humans.

Depends on who your customers are

MAC are CLI? I guess then so is windows.... If you are managing a cluster of Mac, I feel bad for whomever. I have run rendering farms, all mixes of Windows and Linux, 20 years in VFX -- we still use GUIs -- either full on windows terminals or python tools with UI, to manage the front end because we are not living in 1979. CLI doesnt mean it serves better nor faster when you can click something in 1 second vs typing out some bash crap.

Perhaps you havent noticed the last 40 years of engineers like me doing endless production work on tooling for "system admins" so they can one-click their custom confgs instead of typing around like a duck.

Try to irrationally hate on stuff for slightly less irrational reasons.

I also only use those OSes. Linux as FOSS non-lock system for mission critical software development and macOS as a neat well integrated quality version of a *nix OS. Haven't used windows in 22 years, my last version being Win2k. When I look at it today it seems to me only anachronistic. In a bad way.

According to the article, the cost of running an app store had exactly zero to do with their decision to abandon it.

Showing that you literally didnt read it. Try again.

“Obviously we never pursued it because it wasn’t financially attractive for us,” he said. Google gave the company a better deal, the one it apparently wanted all along.

Next time read all the words, even the ones in the last paragraph #clown.

sure thing, clown! You felt so strongly about it you posted as an anonymous coward. Stand behind you words with your actual person, or keep being a clown hiding behind bullshit used just to stir people up. Your orange jesus lost and will lose again, prolly from jail.

But don't snow me about how it's playing out. If your first impulse is to blame management, then my counter is that you shouldn't have to be "led" into productivity. Kindly fuck off somewhere else please.

Perhaps you are unsure as to what the word leadership means; it doesn't mean I, as the employee, figure out what you need as the manager or owner. Literally up to you to LEAD. You can cry "don't blame management" all you want, but management are the ones in charge. If I am slacking, and you keep me around for no reason other than to defray from your obvious lack of input, congrats on proving what everyone is telling you about micro-management being the problem.

Comment That chef kiss irony (Score 1) 36

The sweet irony of using SO for a decade+ to get answers in making product for AI stronger so that the AI product can now threaten the business of SO -- a chef kiss.

... about 45 percent of those hires were for its go-to-market sales team, which he said was “obviously the largest team.”

Pretty much sums up all the business problems. Hiring to market and make it sound like you are doing better than you are, rather than actually DOING BETTER so you can keep paying people once the music stops. 2K Silicon Valley baby companies finally coming to rest because the valley money is dried up. They should have sold and moved to Tahoe like everyone else in Covid. Whomp-Whomp.
