Kiro isn't bad, but it's not the best. Allowing them to use the competition will be good. It'd be like Microsoft not allowing its employees to use Macs, at some level you need to be exposed to the competition to actually be competitive, because you can't float by on your customers being naive forever.
Unless you are stupid or trying to curry favour with the Orange Idiot ?
I'd like to believe it was just a brazen grift, but you're probably right that it's a vehicle for funneling money to the Trump family, meant for businesses or foreign entities.
You said all that gazing into the eyes of your life size cardboard Trump cutout. Swear on Lee Greenwood you didn't.
Brothers, please join with me, Lee Greenwood 1:1 If tomorrow all the things were gone, and my wife and kids didn't leave me yet, at least I'd have this stupid fucking flag, bless Lord Trump, may he provide the no bid contract to build a statue or paint the reflecting pool blue or some dumb shit that saves my marriage, amen.
Oh if I had points right now, +1 to you sir.
But that means at least part of the data is distributed from local free range organic internets and not Google's centralized whale oil burning corporate iron internets.
I have a solar Internet collector on my roof, you're welcome.
And they silently install additional software Y a decade after you installed software X. You installed software X many years before software Y even existed.
They silently installed a spell checker at some point. A canvas and drawing API. A native JIT compiler. A WASM VM. I know we didn't scroll through a change log and hit an accept button at the bottom, that is not how software updates work.
But this has us clutching pearls and talking about the environmental impact of the download. Can anyone convince me this isn't picking something you want to be upset about and working backwards. Hate "models" all you want, but don't try to rationalize it so poorly.
Might makes right cuts both ways, cry about it.
A lot of companies limit AI model access. That means Google doing this in secret is considered a huge InfoSec red flag. At least one company I know will have Chrome ripped off ALL corporate assets
Most companies limit access to online services and untrusted software, not "models". I'm sorry but this is such a twisted take on things, like twisting the removal of Java from desktops into "limiting access to virtual machines". It's not even wrong.
And
I think it actually makes perfect sense.
The whole thing hinges on taking money from Musk claiming to do one thing, and then doing another.
The point is that he was never operating like a nonprofit, but took lots of money to do so. It does sound like a series of wins there, yeah.
The OpenAI non-profit is alive and well and focused on the same hippy trippy dumbass research mission it has always been, the development of AGI and ensuring it benefits all humanity not an elite few. Whether Musk actually took that seriously or not is as irrelevant as his thoughts on colonizing Mars - THAT is the crazy he stuck his dick in, and that's what you need to hold him to account for. Whatever, it's his money, nobody took it from him.
If you don't like OpenAI paying for operations by selling subscriptions to coding tools, maybe you should ask them tonspin that dept off and use it to fund the AGI research that Musk donated to. Wait....
Dude, they may be hassling kids in the rural areas, but in cities on the East Coast youths (i.e 12 to 35yos) ride unregistered gas dirt bikes and ATVs with total impunity through and around traffic and have for at least a decade. Both as transportation and as cultural expression.
this article is from Cleveland area this week , but it's the same in Philadelphia and DC suburbs at least.

Like with so many other things the government and cops will hassle the relatively law abiding with all sorts of technical and clerical bullshit, but ignore the gross violators of laws that have been on the books for years.
Yah I know it's not even unique to e-bikes. I'm not making the case the police shouldn't be enforcing existing laws, and I get that rural cops might be looking for things to do while urban cops might be overwhelmed. There's no one size fits all solution. If there's no room for e-bike trails, give the kids a dirt oval, flat track or something, start a club, keep it civilized. Just saying if there's a problem with kids hitting baseballs through windows, maybe build a baseball field instead banning baseball bats. I mean what else are we going to do, ignore it?
I just don't think powersports should be something only kids out in the boonies should enjoy.
So backups are like insurance, it's all about risk, you're right. If a user deletes a record, then a local copy is a great way to restore it quickly. If the computer turns off, you can't do anything. Also if you make a copy once a day and someone created and destroyed a record in that day, you can't restore it. So in practice you use multiple layers, like hourly local copy, daily off the computer, weekly out of the building, or whatever but none of that is ever guaranteed to work.
That all said, if you plan for the 99% and the 1% happens, that's still part of your plan. But if you're in a car wreck, and your auto insurance won't pay out for car wrecks... we say you didn't have insurance, because that's not a socially acceptable level of risk. Similarly, local backups on one computer, great but if that's it and the computer breaks, uhhhh, you were obviously underinsured and should have known better, because it's not a socially accepted risk posture.
That's bonkers. You can't blame customers for using an AI product as intended, when the AI product fails to do what it claims it can do.
The fuck I can't, it's like a dude napping behind the wheel in his Tesla. I'm blaming the shit out of the driver, the car, and the people that made it. There's too much negligence all around to ignore any of it.
Do you understand to get to this point you have to have a bearer token with delete the primary database and data privileges, sitting on someone's laptop, with direct access to the infrastructure, which is on the Internet.. so everywhere.
Then you have to have a SaaS vendor who's service will do that destructive act immediately, instead of turning it off and starting a 24h timer.
Now we're very close to blaming the computer.
I'm not one to victim blame, but that _whole_ situation is "as intended", and way waaaaaaaaay too common. We all need to do better, and yes AI tool vendors have a big part to play in fixing this too. That XKCD meme with the giant stack of devops dependencies and a little js library holding it all up, it feels like some moron with a chatbot is going to blow it over and it's going to be way to fucking easy to say don't blame the user... the computer did that.. the vendor did it.. etc. Fuck that I'm not having it, I'm blaming every last person that touched any part of that stupidity, and that's basically all of us, I'll take it.
Mmm nah. Though if he's smoking his own supply, yes. If he's spinning this to deflect blame from his company, then as gross at it appears, he's doing his job well. If there's no repeat anyway.
It fits a pattern. Firing and harassing military lawyers because they want to replace them with yes-men. It doesn't get any more plain than this. When your boss fires the company lawyer, not for past performance, but ahead of time because he might not like what's coming, what the fuck is happening.
