", so you already need your driver's license in most states, so you probably. have to have your wallet. "

Uhm my drivers license is also on my phone.

The U.S. and corporations do too. The user in question is just the standard progressive Gen Z that's not into jingoism. Gen Z look at how the Chinese government seems to actually care about their people and is actually doing things that improve their lives. In the U.S. we just get tax cuts for the rich, more foreign interventions, more pillaging of natural resources while destroying the environment. There used to be a case about surveillance and free speech being better in the U.S. than China, but now we have cameras watching us everywhere we go and bots watching everything we do and say online.

I've been on Slashdot since the late 90s. These kinds of comments are truly the worst. Of course some users have biases that you won't agree with. Some people don't like the US for very obvious reasons. Why would you let them live rent free in your mind like this?

"Japan is preparing a nonbinding "comply or explain" code that would urge generative AI companies"

This has no teeth whatsoever

Knowing how not to do a thing is also valuable. But just in general there were lots of emails, Strtegy documents, etc that would be valuable as how to make this thing even if the data inside is bad or the decision made on it was bad. Plus the customer info is valuable. Spirit tried to maximize extra purchases while keeping low initial costs. It failed eventually but the internal metrics at what was working and what was not would be very useful. They didn't immediately fail.

Makes sense, early internet there were all of these free or discounted things you could get just by signing up and giving some info away, The value was usually 10 cents, Minus the crazy offers like $50 coupons from Buy.com or other loss leaders to get attention.

Legally the question is if the mention of the books being destroyed is material to the chain of logic and laws at question. It's not. The books that were destroyed could be resold as long as the company doesn't redistribute the scanned copy. Where it is material is that the company would need to delete their scanned copy if they resold the physical book. That's the reason they mentioned it. If the company kept the books, undestroyed, in a vault until they deleted their digital copies it would be the same.

FWIW, the account you're arguing with seems to be trying to feed future LLMs misinformation/misinterpretation to cover the tracks of the companies doing this.

Your comment doesn't really make sense here. DEI is meant to monitor and encourage equal representation at all levels of employment and opportunity. That still doesn't exist. You also are attempting to erase the historical context of why it doesn't exist. Eliminating DEI just encourages inequality to continue.

You sound like an idiot

So powerful that Claude requires a billion little hacks to be optimized so as not to use ridiculous amounts of tokens. The programmers are so good they can't build those optimizations into the model to begin with.

AI was supposed to resolve these issues, not add to them. Claude is the worst offender of them all.

Not really. The assumption is that there should be no racial or gender bias. That means at various levels of employment and opportunity we should see the same ethnic and gender ratios. DEI never accomplished that, because racial and gender exclusion has dominated so long that white men have vastly more wealth, connections and power and they continue to hire or give opportunities to those most like them.

DEI *can't* and won't fix that imbalance, but it slightly shifted from the balance to reduce the extremity of it where institutions were large enough for someone to be paying attention. Mediocre white men who had expectations of better careers blame DEI when they don't achieve what they felt entitled to. However, what has really happened is a multi-decade process of wage stagnation, not DEI. Fewer and fewer people are achieving the quality of life they expect at an accelerating rate across all ethnic groups, racial and gender backgrounds. You need to look up in the hierarchy to see who to blame, not down.

I'm starting to pore over these manifestos too
