doubt we’ll “ever” have that policy.

They likely won’t do it just to do it; driving forces would be required.

If we reach a point where there are serious side effects of lacking engineers, doctors, and nurses due to expatriation, they’ll stop allowing travel. It’ll come as part of a martial law crackdown.

In the long run, people won’t put up with it; in the short run… would you REALLY put it past them?

They’ll start giving returning Americans titer tests and locking up people with immunity up

Flawless opsec is a lot, but at least for now, it’s not how they are finding people.

It’s tips and borders at the moment. If it becomes police action as well you just have to make sure you’re not noticed by the police.

We’re probably not all that far off of papers please.

Counter counterpoint: I don’t know, I think making an exception for tech companies probably gives a minor advantage to consumers at least.

You can still go to copilot and ask it for some pretty fucking off the wall python and bash, it’ll save you a good 20 minutes of writing something and it’ll already be documented and generally best practice.

Sure the tech companies are the one walking away with billions of dollars and it presumably hurts the content creators and copyright holders.

The problem is, feeding AI is not significantly different than feeding Google back in the day. You remember back when you could see cached versions of web pages. And hell their book scanning initiative to this day is super fucking useful.

If you look at how we teach and train artists. And then how those artists do their work. All digital art and most painting these days has reference art all over the place. AI is taking random noise and slowly making things look more like the reference art that’s not wholly different than what people are doing.

We’re training AI on every book that people can get their hands on, But that’s how we train people too.

I say that training an AI is not that different than training people, and the entire content of all the copyright they look at in their lives doesn’t get a chunk of the money when they write a book or paint something that looks like the style of Van Gogh. They’re even allowed to generate content for private companies or for sale.

What is different, is that the AI is very good at this and has machine levels of retention and abilities. And companies are poised to get rich off of the computational work. So I’m actually perfectly down with AI’s being trained on copyrighted materials as long as they can’t recite it directly and in whole, But I feel the models that are created using these techniques should also be in the public domain.

I’ve only ever lost one, I have six installed at home in 12 installed at work.

I’m not saying they’re the height of reliability but your mileage very well may vary.

Okay, I can work with this. Hey Altman you can train on anything that’s public domain, now go take those fuck ton of billions and fight the copyright laws to make public domain make sense again.

Every store I’ve been in for months is absolutely full of eggs. No one will buy them. If having too many eggs on the shelf lowers prices we’d already be there.

This is just him trying to find a way to not have everyone quite so mad at him.

So, to be clear, you’re claiming that meat birds are not wiped out by the flu and there’s a vast shortage of laying hens, while the markets are absolutely overflowing with eggs?

that math doesn’t math.

HPAI A(H5) or A(H7) virus infections can cause disease that affects multiple internal organs with mortality up to 90% to 100% in chickens, often within 48 hours.

They’re not that young :)

If there were any empty shelves, I’d buy it. I should have taken a picture. Nobody is buying any eggs. The price should have ridden that wave, there should be almost no eggs on the shelf, priced at the maximum that pushes product without quite selling out.

There were thousands of eggs there.

In covid we ran out of toilet paper, it wasn’t 8x the price on the shelf. Those eggs on the shelves are weeks old now.

Price collusion and greed

Meanwhile, the egg department in my grocery store is absolutely full not a single carton sold.

Nobody’s paying eight bucks for a carton they can rot.

Meanwhile I bought a pack of chicken breasts at 267 a pound which is the normal price.

There’s no shortage of chickens, there’s no shortage of eggs

Yeah but unfortunately there’s a metric f*** ton of them using WhatsApp.

There’s some merit to them purposefully tanking stocks. Prior to the flip-flopping, a lot of big money pulled out of the market significantly (which also contributed to it crashing and people freaking) As far as the dollar being too strong, it just has to stay stronger than the stockmarket so they can buy back cheap.

Of course, it’ll cause a recession. fuck over everyone and just about every company in the country, but Elon doesn’t care, he’ll just grant himself a bunch of defense and aerospace contracts, maybe order a 30 billion in teslas for the government.

Trump says Putin says

Looks like Crude Oil Tax would be FAR more effective.

YT-dlp is about an inch away from being wiped out by them. All you need is the gaze of sauron. Forced logon and remove cookies in lieu of browser storage would set us back ages.

At some point they’re just going to embed the commercials in the video stream or worse yet picture in picture them like broadcast TV did.

Sure it’s E2EE, it’s encrypted with your key and the company’s key and the government’s key… SAAAFE …

Ooh, of all the possibilities I didn’t have that one on my bingo sheet. I guess we’ll be Torrenting YouTubers sooner than later.

Geographically perhaps…
