I see your point and it stands. Certainly anyone can lead a country down the wrong path and we don't know their true motives.

My point was mainly that the power structure is seemingly reversed, so the incentives don't make as much sense.

In most cases, Jews who chose to collaborate with Nazis did so to guarantee their personal survival, which distinguished them from most other ethnic groups who collaborated with Nazi Germany. It's not exactly a fair comparison.

I second your experience. Additionally, if you disrupt their echo chamber too much, they'll delete your comments and ban you. This has happened repeatedly when trying to have civil discussions like this one. They justify it as preventing misinformation so I have yet to see a fair debate on there.

Ironically, Russians think they are fighting Nazis in Ukraine.

Whether it's a surprise or not, users don't have a choice of what platform is most popular or effective at getting work. Many applications for gigs ask for links to your social media, it's the default portfolio that many clients look for.

All that artists can do is diversify to other platforms which have the same issues, and make a personal website which will probably get almost no traffic.

The board of random people who cycle out every year? Some of them working for competing AI companies? Yeah they definitely aren't the brains of this operation.

Sam has been there since the beginning and had the vision, but he made some mistakes along the way that allowed this power grab to happen.

No matter what OpenAI does, Microsoft will own their IP and future development on it, so OpenAI has already lost.

Here is a comment I copied from Hacker News:

If they join Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft they will not need to start from scratch because Microsoft has full rights [1] to ChatGPT IP. They can just fork ChatGPT.

Also keep in mind that Microsoft hasn't actually given OpenAI $13 Billion because much of that is in the form of Azure credits.

So this could end up being the cheapest acquisition for Microsoft: They get a $90 Billion company for peanuts.

The stick she tells you not to worry about.

The exorbitant price is the whole point of luxury stores like Dior. People who shop there would stop if everything became reasonably priced. Do you really expect people of their status to live like the rest of us?!

That's only because everyone was voting against Trump. This is the fault of our voting system. It is why we need rank choice voting, so we can vote for the people we like instead of against the people we dislike.

I suspect that there's a lot more people than we think who would rather not vote for either Trump or Biden, but they don't want to throw their vote away.

This is why we need rank choice voting. It would eliminate any risk of people voting for a third party while also voting for the lesser of two evils put forth by the D & R's.

The only reason I can see why rank choice voting is not already everywhere is because they know it would strip power away from the top.

I think that is more like an advanced auto pilot which can also steer missiles to their target but only if fired by the human. The OP article says they're banning AI from making the decision to fire the weapon.

I'm not positive but this looks like Lake Mead near Las Vegas. The water level is dropping so quickly that the boat ramp is only paved up to a point and then it is a temporary dirt and gravel path they've made down to the water because the water level drops so quickly they constantly have to reposition the boat ramp, mobile-docks, signs, etc.

You pay extra for the exposed brick look in hip downtown loft apartments!

Check out Hacker News. Their mission is to only allow thought provoking posts and to not allow enshitification or dumbing down of their platform.

Users can still post content but it is more highly moderated to maintain quality. The users tend to be techy so user submissions are higher quality than average reddit/lemmy posts.

There is a lemmy community that reposts articles from hacker news but now I just browse it on their website or using the Android app Harmonic which I recommend.

If you were a corporation, becoming a monopoly would be your wet dream. As a company becomes richer and more powerful, it gains more influence over politics. It's a feedback loop that gives them more and more power until they are monopoly. It's not the government that drives this, it's the corporations driving the government.

Capitalism is the driving force of almost everything that's wrong in America. [1]

I agree that bailing out a corporation is not very capitalist, but that is not the primary goal of corporate lobbying. I believe it is mostly about keeping their industry legal, unregulated, low-taxed, etc.

I don't think the average American wants politicians this old, they are being chosen by their political parties as having the highest chance of winning because we have a broken voting system that encourages fewer candidates per party so that they don't steal votes from each other.

That is why we need ranked choice voting, so that more candidates can run without competing and we could vote for people we actually like instead of voting against candidates we don't like.

Not to mention the need to level the playing field in terms of campaign financing which currently makes it more likely for more established politicians to have collected funding from private organizations, superpacs, and corporate lobbying.

This means that the politicians who are in the pockets of the capitalist elites are more likely to win and to enact the will of these corporations.

You can ask ChatGPT to role play as a foreign language speaking person speaking to you as a beginner language learner. I tried chatting with it in Mandarin and it did pretty well!

The downside is that it's text instead of audio. There are several other companies working on different versions of this idea for other markets.
