OpenAI stockholders are hoping to cash out before the bubble bursts.

The Right Content for Zuckerberg: Whatever keeps people engaged, no matter how outlandish, offensive, exploitative, oppressive, or racist

We are using words differently, which is why I don't interact with any of Zuck's properties.

Is the article suggesting that AWS isn't as good as it once was (a valid argument), or is it claiming that not backing AI is causing it to slip (a much less valid argument)?

They can't foresee everything. And at the scale AWS operates, the things they miss will have massive impacts.

This is why when we originally looked into Route 53, and found that it only did localised routing, we went with another DNS provider that could do geographic DNS resolution, failover between regions, and automatically rerouted traffic to different AWS regions when something went wrong. We tried to get AWS to see the value in having a similar DNS setup, but they seemed to believe that there would never be a reason AWS traffic might need to be routed around a failing region, or routed to a different region.

We've known since the beginning that incorrect responses make up 30-70% of LLM responses. Why? Because they're prediction engines, nothing more. They're fancy, and they sound human, but they're built to be convincing, not to be right. Error is built into the architecture. And it's getting worse. Even without model collapse, as we attempt to fix the issues, they will get worse and worse. It's built in.

This person sounds like they never heard about invented law citations that have gotten several lawyers in trouble. Or vibe coders that end up with a pile of garbage once they move beyond trivial apps. I think maybe they haven't been paying attention.

The solution is do what we know works - use systems whose architectures prioritise factual (or at least accurately referenceable) responses, instead of sounding good. That's not the current generation of LLMs. And it never will be. Wrong tool. Wrong job.

Nick Clegg says asking for consent would kill the rape industry.

Consent matters. If you can't do what you want without consent, maybe don't do it.

Make sure you give unions the same phones; they're the voice of the people in the same way CEOs are the voice of business.

Ooo, look, the peanut gallery has an uninformed opinion. Surprise!

which aren't in great shape perhaps due to the sheet's shortcomings.

This is such a bad take.

NZ healthcare is struggling is because the government wantonly slashed its budget, knowing that it wouldn't then be able to meet its commitments and service levels. That same government then demanded that things look and appear a certain way. Is it any surprise then, that they got watermelon metrics?

The truth is this: if you reduce a budget without understanding the impact, or removing the waste first, any organisation will struggle.

The spreadsheet isn't the problem.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. I was considering writing a long, thought out response to this, illuminating the points that I think contradict your statement. But somebody else has already done it. I highly recommend checking out Everything Great About The Last Jedi.

I also don't think the star wars franchise has been ruined. However, there's an incredibly loud, vocal minority that's doing their best to ruin it, at the moment. It's a story. It's not your story, it belongs to the authors, directors, actors, and studios that pour their time, money, blood, sweat and tears into making it. You're free to dislike what they do, and what they say, but nothing that happens now, or in the future, can change your love of the OT, unless you let it.

This appears to probably have been caused by FOSTA, which Congress recently passed. That's why it appears that many sites are coordinating these changes - the government is forcing them to by holding websites responsible for users undertaking illegal activities. More details can be found here:

with some additional links to the Reddit announcement, and an EFF announcement of how Congress is censoring the internet.

As I am not a democrat, and the views of Democrats weren't being reviewed, it's a proper attempt at derailing to act as if the issue raised is somehow nullified by your (possibly entirely valid) concerns about Democrats' viewpoints. I am not here to discuss those, and they would likely be a better fit for a different thread.

I really want to take this new article at face value, but the source is highly questionable. Add to that the perfectly reasonable academic refutation that you yourself cited, and the source loses all credibility, and we're back to square one.

If we've reached the point where you have to resort to personal attacks to try to convince others (you certainly can't convince the other side with personal attacks) that your viewpoints are valid, you're already in trouble. You raised a point. I refuted it with what should be very worrying data, as well as a reasoned argument for why your objections don't amount to a great deal, in the real world. You responded with flawed studies and personal attacks. I think we're done here.

It's a graver concern because a) a majority of one of the dominant political parties wants it to happen, which makes it far more likely than any possible change toward Sharia Law, b) because it demonstrates a significant lack of appreciation for the text, spirit, or values enshrined in the Constitution, and c) the survey you cited includes no evidence that American Muslims agree with Sharia Law - there's no evidence in the article, at all - which means you have reality (Americans want a state religion) against a completely made up story.

I'm far more concerned about the number of Americans who want to make Christianity the official religion of the US.
