As you can imagine I am 100% against communism and any form of socialism. Bezos and everyone else must have property rights not hindered by government, it is his business to run (or his board) and government must not be in position to dictate how any company hires and fires people, who they hire and fire, why, etc.

I fully expect Amazon to close this warehouse, maybe it will be contaminated with something radioactive for example, to make things easier and then it will shut down. Personally I root for the anarcho capitalist solution and wish Amazon to win this battle for its private property rights.

social engineering used in practice by the parent comment, now sitting at +4 Funny. Still waiting for that 1 autistic moderator.

There doesn't seem to be much to this story. As far as I can tell, they haven't done any scientific or even casual tests to clone open source or closed source. It's vapor ware.

Then why is the Kim family still in power in North Korea?

The types of neural networks used in these classifiers are not LLMs. The expense and difficulty of collecting an image set is going to far outweigh the compute time used to train them.

We are questioning whether the AI is creating something new, or whether it's just copying the original.

It's a question because the AI was trained on the original. Clean Room Design is a well-known engineering technique. It's not a problem when cloning closed source if the AI wasn't trained on that closed source code.

Unironically, yes. A whiteboard or a blackboard is all you need. No videos in classroom except for special occasions.

It's relatively easy to setup VPN over SSH, that might work if you need it at some time in the future.

OK, so your viewpoint is a little more clear now. You don't have a problem creating and killing animal life.

What about stem cell embryo research? Or sperm research? Does that bother you?

That's what you do every time you eat. Are you monstrous?

Only Jainism opposes it.

I tend to agree with the spirit of such comments, but in this case, Apple makes it clear in the TOS that it retains the right to disclose that information if it deems it appropriate. People pay for an anonymity service without reading the fine print :/

One of the lessons we've had as the Federal, multi-branch nature of the US governmennt has frustrated Trump is that the government may be fucking us over, but it's not doing it in *unison*. It's doing it piecemiel, on the initiative of many interests working against each other, just as the framers intended. The motto on the Great Seal notwithstanding, there are myriad roadblocks to consolidating power in the hands of a single individual. It takes time and repeated failures. This is why the second Trump Adminsitration is worse than the first; they've figured out ways around things like Congressional power of the purse, put more of their henchmen in the judiciary, and normalized Congress lying down and letting the president walk all over them. It's a serious situation, although fortunately Trump isn't long for this world.

I say take the cash and open a new company under different management and build more offshore wind turbines, now that you have a billion.
