That's really not how courts work though. There is a range of measures that can be used to stop people that keep breaking the law. First one is usually to send a message, perp usually won't like the second round in court.

Oh hey just like that pledge not to use AI for weapons that they used to recruit top AI experts. After they did their work the pledge vanished.
Google's words are apparently worth nothing.

Of course they are well within their rights, given that they are part of the group of billionaires that purchased (or I guess leased) the governance of the united states.

Are you like retired and don't follow news and not inside big companies? This is happening right now.

Companies are hiring overseas in massive numbers. Why would they be hiring there if these US hiring stops and layoffs are because they need fewer people because of AI? There is just one reason for these layoffs and that is that companies prefer to have cheaper workers elsewhere.

About just the same level of intentionality. Microsoft just forces thist stuff on you. For the o365 copilot they will even charge you for it despite not wanting that shoveled garbage

saying that the sales numbers for this year's longer event could still surpass those of last year's shorter one

They should just double the length of this 'day' every time, just to keep growth numbers in. Can't wait for the decade long prime day.

And here I was thinking days were getting shorter.

Say anything right-wing or pro-trump and they'll happily demonetize you and then make sure nothing from your vid will corrupt their pure model.

You aren't wrong about people charging large markups, but the big providers are up there as well. The price for chatgpt audio tokens is around $80 per million tokens, which adds up to around $10 per hour for a call. That is just purely for the chatgpt audio model, but you need a lot more stuff to actually make a useful product. Then in many cases the AI can't actually solve the issues and you still need a human (more cost), and then the customer is frustrated (potential loss of business is more cost).

They are the patsy. They sign off on all this training data and take the fall when the lawsuits come.

He seems to be having a little memory issues about which things he said that were causing the uproar.

Reminder: It was the Duolingo CEO says there may still be schools in our AI future, but mostly just for childcare.

Even moderately sized tech companies have billions of investor money and zero oversight.

Matter of time until darwinism does its work and they start assassinations, bombing and other mafia like tactics to stay ahead.

Your car would be worth a billion dollars if there were no other cars. However given that cars are available everywhere it is not worth even 0.01% of that.

Reddit's data would only have this huge value if there was no other place to get it. Right now pretty much all that can be learned from Reddit is embedded in free models from facebook, deepseek and others. Cost 0. You can get indexed data from like 90% of Reddit nearly for free from common crawl at the cost of bandwidth.

There is definitely value to Reddit and its content. But nobody is going to pay a billion for a copy of their data.

It changes programming for sure. But I don't really get this story much.

A 21-year-old's startup got a $500,000 investment from Y Combinator — after building their web site and prototype mostly with "vibe coding".

Doesn't really mean much. Visual programming, low code & no code is not new and have all been funded. Getting funding on just an idea and a team (but no code) happens all the time. Y-Combinator acceptance these days is all about being a rich kid with Ivy League background, and having a somewhat viable investment idea. The actual code written is somewhere in the top 10 about things that work for you, but nowhere near the top.

to create from scratch a website called Recipe Ninja. It has a library of recipes, and cooks can talk to it, asking the AI-driven site to concoct new recipes for them. "It's probably like 30,000 lines of code. That would have taken me, I don't know, maybe a year to build," he said. "It wasn't overnight, but I probably spent 100 hours on that."

30k lines of code and a year of work for a recipe book? Any decent programmer could have programmed that site in like a day. Could have clicked it together without code in something like wordpress with some extensions, drupal, or any other tool in a couple of days as well.

I think when you look at the graph of software engineer jobs it looks far more likely that we are in a correction phase for overhiring:

I'm sure at some point there will be some effect of AI on entry level jobs, but in the companies where I stroll around I think the main issue is mostly that companies want to reduce the amount of programmers they have and not so much that AI is reducing the workload. I think a lot of companies would say it's because of AI because that looks better than most other explanations.

This study is flawed. When someone "debates" a LLM, they're probably seeking information.

Calling a study flawed without reading the study is... err... flawed. The experimental design is completely different from what you describe. People were led into the debate not knowing beforehand if it was a human or AI. They were not organically 'seeking information' they were tasked with debating something as part of a study.
