@makerbymistake Any time you deny a company the right to do business in your country, you have that effect. The alternative is to allow it to continue, even if it insists on defying your laws. The latter does not seem like a good idea, if you oppose oligarchy and support the universal application of the rule of law.

@sundogplanets Just don't mention the anti-Earth on the opposite side of the sun, where the writing is backwards and they eat corn on the cob vertically.

Or return everything he's looted; not just by the soldiers ad hoc -- that stuff's probably irrecoverable -- but on a wide scale, as a state act. Russia's hollowed out Eastern Ukraine of a huge amount of its cultural and material wealth.

"Turning down the “creativity dial” helps the model stick to facts so that it “doesn’t embellish or hallucinate in the same ways that you would find if you were just using ChatGPT on its own,” he said."

Jesus Christ that's incredibly not-reassuring

@billseitz @josh I think I'd want to see the evidence base for that conclusion.

@ct_bergstrom It's bad enough that juries can be willing to be led to the easiest conclusion; the one that doesn't require setting aside preconceptions and really thinking about it. LLMs do that by design, they actually can't do anything else.

@quinn @ct_bergstrom Sounds like we need a landmark decision that throws out a case because of computer generated evidence or testimony. It. might slap someone awake.

Particularly useful for people with disabilities related to standing and walking.

@chrisamoody @baldur You might actually read what he said instead of making a stock reply.

Boeing didn't learn the Sears lesson. Sears should have been what Amazon is now: up to the 90s it had an unstoppable distribution network, priceless brand equity and its own credit card. But they went Gordon Gecko and self-cannibalized, while Jeff Bezos went Jeff Bezos and built what they could have been relatively effortlessly, from scratch.

@w7voa

Odds that Boeing C-suite execs have worked out that a combination of aggressive cost-cutting and profit-taking is not how you build or sustain a cutting-edge business: 0

Did you know that having a relative who shares things with you on Facebook is equivalent to having degrees in virology and political science? What an astounding age we live in.

@BashStKid Yeah, I'll keep my suspicions about the Red Hour to.myself

New Years eve 1999 fell on a Friday, I was in a meeting in the office when 5:00pm, US West Coast, rolled around. As we were wrapping up I impulsively said, "what say we find out what the 21st century is like?" And phoned a friend on his cell phone in London, where it was around 1am. He was in a club and somewhat the worse for drink but I put him on speaker anyway. He picked up his cue as I knew he would and started talking about the flying cars and the despotic global supercomputer...

He wasn't "asked to go" either. A marine isn't asked, he gets his orders and he goes.
