It's extremely hard to separate out the actual technical terms from the hyperventilating booster lingo in this space. Unfortunately a lot of it is because there's overlap. "Hallucination" is a well-defined technical term now, but it is also a booster term because it implies a consciousness that doesn't exist.
It was included in the ticket because if you didn't check a bag the belly would be empty. Now if you don't check a bag they get to fill the belly with air freight, so they want you to try to jam your life into the overhead compartment so they can resell the belly to cargo customers.
The problem is a lot of cyclists don’t bother to hit the button, then just keep barreling straight on through.
So they should be expected to stop the bike, get off of it, go push a button, then go back to the bike at every single intersection? Maybe the "problem" is this horrible, cyclist-unfriendly crosswalk design.
He's a democratic swamp creature. He's a Rubinite economist who's been slinking around Washington since the Clinton administration. He was also the president of Harvard for a while and got a cameo in The Social Network.
I think the outcome of the last few days is that the nonprofit board controls nothing and serves at the pleasure of the for-profit company's investors.
Vast majority of creators make pennies from youtube ads. They make their money from patreon and sponsorship, neither of which are incompatible with peertube.
The biggest problem vis-a-vis youtube is that people won't find you if you are not on it and blessed by the algorithm. Youtube is a monopoly because of metcalfe's law.
I suspect that the employees were made to understand that their careers would be damaged by not going with Altman. That's the most obvious explanation for Ilya's defection and complete about-face (and now public begging for forgiveness) over the weekend.
Amazing the supposed "anti-semetic" posts are all from before Oct 7. This Dr. Freedhoff went on a fishing expedition through Dr. Ge's post history to find reasons to get him kicked out. Makes me wonder if Dr. Freedhoff had a beef with Dr. Ge and decided to use the political moment to his advantage, or if he's going through the post history of everyone at the university trying to find anyone who ever disrespected Israel.
This board is now learning why normal boards typically acquiesce aggressively to the CEO, or at least the investors. Clearly they didn't realize the amount of political capital Altman had and while they were well within their rights according to the rules and the charter of the company to do what they did, they're now bearing the full brunt of the backlash from the entire Silicon Valley investment community. You can tell from his twitter feed that Ilya is now running on pure emotion. I'm sure he's been given the "you'll never work in this town again" speech.
I don't really fully understand it either but Altman has been a questionable character for a long time.
I remember when he took over ycombinator, Paul Graham boasted "if Altman got dropped onto an island full of cannibals, within three months he'd be king of the cannibals." PG thought this was terrific but I thought "why the hell would you leave someone like that in charge of your VC fund?" Altman had gotten the spot running the firm after failing out of his startup. He failed out of ycombinator and then managed to do that thing where he inexplicably failed at bigger and bigger things raising more money somehow every time.
It sounds like that's what he's doing now quite honestly. Rumor is he's been beating around the middle east raising billions for a new AI chip startup. Honestly while Elon has normalized CEOs wandering off and doing other things, the fact is that for any normal employee that alone would be grounds for dismissal, especially if he was being evasive with the board about his plans.
@seahorse@midwest.social I think this is happening again? I made a few comments on a thread at !europe@feddit.de and they did not propagate.
