Rather than expecting platforms to chase down the harmful content, López G. recommended that AI companies should get ahead of the problem, taking responsibility for outputs [...]

What if I want to make pornographic images of myself? What if Taylor Swift wants to?

The software is out there already, the images are life-like, and the models run offline. There's absolutely no way of recorking that bottle now.

I bought a 1TB micro SD card recently, it cost less than a new AAA game. Almost any individual AAA game would fit on a quarter of that.

"less than a euro per season"? You meant session, right? Took me a minute. :-)

That aside, imagine if Netflix charged a euro for everything on their service that you might watch.

That's a quadruple paaaass from me, dawg.

Sounds like there's plenty of bad shit going on there.

I have to say, it's a tough sell to expect companies to pay above market rate for people in a cheaper location. We can't all be earning Bay Area salaries and living in Spain, that's just not worth it, honestly.

If you had to pay $200k in California or $80k in England for the same work, all remote, you wouldn't throw away twice as much money.

The fake promo thing sounds like an Amazon stunt, from my experience there. You have to work at a certain level for a year before you (hopefully) get promoted to that level officially. It's a great way of avoiding the Peter Principle for employers, with the added shitty bonus of saving you money.

All in all it sounds like a shitty situation with some "normal" stuff thrown in that we all wish wasn't so normal.

Edit: non-compete clauses are unenforceable in lots of places. Seems like they are enforceable in the UK, however.

Edit 2: a move to management is a lateral move at Amazon, too. Probably true of a lot of places. I don't like it, but it's not that unusual.

What's the cost? I'm talking both hosting and time spent maintaining it and any other hidden costs you may have encountered.

Not all of them. Check out Sauber.

That's not very many for an Apple launch, is it?

The word "recall" in the context of a product clearly means the product had to go back to where it came from. Do Microsoft, Apple, and Google recall devices running their software every time there's an update? No, it's called an update.

There 100% needs to be better phrasing for this, and for all manufacturers. I don't give a shit about Elon Musk.

I enjoyed Reddit, but then they started doing things I didn't agree with, so I left.

I used to want a Tesla, but I'd rather not support someone like Elon Musk, so I won't get one.

I used to love songs by a certain band, and then the lead singer turned out to be a pedophile, so I stopped listening to the music because it was no longer enjoyable.

Sometimes you've got to vote with your wallet, or your attention, or whatever affects the relevant party. Companies definitely affect you, and I don't think it's wrong to make decisions based on things other than just enjoyment.

The inventor of chess can't do anything that affects your life any more. Companies can, and do.

If not them then it'd be someone else. Clearly they're starting to take polluting seriously.

If you look at CO2 emissions per capita then China is actually doing better than countries like Canada, the US, and Singapore. Assuming I haven't completely misread that table.

Only fair that AI gets a turn now we've been ruining it for so long.

Somebody think of the poor corporations!

I guess we'll see how the team does without Steiner.

I could see Gene Haas pulling out of F1.

If everyone learned to "use the internet" and stopped paying then there would be nothing to pay for because nobody works for free.

I often see three Waymo cars driving down Bush Street in SF by themselves. It still surprises me every time.

Lots of Stephen King characters are described as wearing these shirts to cover up their gooseflesh.
