Jesus, this is a brain-dead take. Anthropic is the AFAICT only for-profit company that takes AI safety and alignment seriously.

Dario (and others') work on Constitutional AI is AFAICT the only realistic solution to this very real engineering problem. And they publish what could be their secret-sauce constitution, verbatim, under a Creative Commons license.

The manufacturers aren't the problem. They aren't the ones who make the rules about how their product is used on public thoroughfares.

The context of that phrase is almost always used for people who invite regulation with their own foolish/dangerous behavior.

At least this time you presented something more nuanced than "people can't afford housing because they spend too much on other things". You could have led with that.

Also, I live about as far from California as is geographically possible within the lower 48, so I'm not assuming any blame for what happens there.

What makes you think it's rich people who are doing the hiring?

Pretending that the cost of housing is a problem only for people who refuse to live within their means is certainly one way to show why resentment of the rich is near an all-time high.

Why would anyone want to work for a company that does stuff like this??

This looks like the latest escalation in the tug-o-war between employers and remote workers. The relatively few people going to extraordinary efforts just to avoid doing the job they're being paid to do is going to ruin it for everyone else. Do you want to make return-to-office mandatory? Because creating AI fakes to pretend to be on work meetings sounds like a good way to make that happen.

This. And note the headlines for what afaict is the same product. For Meta they are enabling sexual predators. For Apple they are ... making style and design choices?

Bots and other bad actors thrive in free (as in beer) environments, for reasons that should be obvious. If we want to do anything meaningful about them, sites will need a nominal but real fee to use.

It's not what anyone wanted, but "free" was always inevitably going to lead to the Internet becoming a dump. The free ride is over.

As a person who worked mightily hard for over a year on a cross functional team with top management attention to bring a product into official FedRAMP compliance... for all the blood sweat weekends late nights documenting automating improving processes and tooling... FUCK YOU Microsoft for cheating your way in and endangering your country and your customers in the process. FUCK. YOU.

The Black Blade was forged a million billion years ago. Its cosmic story goes on for eternity. It master is its slave. Hahahahahaaaaaa

LibreWolf is FF with the enshittification removed

Yup. 'Orchestration' is the fancy word. But it's just "scripting with LLMs and fancy Python packages"

I see a similar trend inside the Big Software company I work at. We're automating fixing the bug backlog, automating test fixes, automating platform posting, ... I don't think anybody knows how this all shakes out but we know it's the future. Strong 1990's Internet vibe.

When I see posts about how crappy AI is, it's not usually from people who are actually using it to get real work done.
