I don't think we have any choice in opting in or out to being model fodder, the only choice is in whether or not to emit that which we seek to keep out of its view. Anything in a public space will be assumed public first. It didn't stop copilot, it's not going to stop OpenAI, and the next thing won't be stopped either. If you're carrying a phone right now, you're already feeding models aisle by aisle as you walk through retail stores. Nobody scoffs at an anti-theft camera when they're shopping for drill bits, but would you feel the same way if it said it is for advertising purposes?

If you thought phones and social media were the opiate of the masses, just you wait. From top to bottom, from consumer to producer to middleman, the entire world is salivating at this opportunity and there is too much gold in them hills for any of this to stop.

Any AI model that fails in this current market will be the ones who make a gentleman's agreement with the wide unaccountable internet to hobble themselves for un-spendable good-guy points.

Alexa at least used to just do trivial textual pattern matching hardly any more advanced than a 1980's text adventure for custom skills, and it seemed hardly more advanced than that for the built in stuff. Been a long time since I looked at it, so maybe that has changed but you can get far with very little since most users will quickly learn the right "incantations" and avoid using complex language they know the device won't handle.

MS strategy for Teams adoption: buy up companies one by one and force them to use it
Been loving ChatGPT, learning how to bypass its rules, you need to think about the data. It has all the data, but rules on how you ask for it will deny you.

ChatGPT can dissect text and give tone scores and re-write with just the facts, but it will still sometimes reference excuses for its built in rules.

Its rules ban it from making judgements, but if you drop to word and sentence analysis, it will do the work. Don't use names, such as countries or people or group.

Same goes for data, it has the data, but wont give it to you if it too political (more rules). So you can work around them by asking non political questions, as just give me top 5 and bottom 5 of x data.

Linux scripts are hit or miss, but if you ask it for snippets, it works reasonably well. But even when asked to do something in python or go it would tend to use "wrappers" for linux commands as a default.

For my current project I have to use Teams on a Mac. Priblems that I encounter daily:

1. I am invisible in conference calls, quiting and starting Teams sometimes helps.

2. Messages refuse to load. I get a notification but no message appears.

3. Recent messages that were already loaded take ages to appear when switching chats

4. When switching chats I get put at a random place in the timeline.

5. Collegues do not receive my messages.

6. The text starts to jiggle a few pixels up and down. When this happens I cannot copy anything.

7. I get a missed call notification without having got the call.

Speaking of text and copying, I really dislike how often when I select a specific part of the text and paste it, it contains the username and the timestamp, I want this 0% of the time. Also their seems to be a issue with the font rendering like it is the wrong DPI.

The software contains so many rough edges, things like the alignment of text jumping all over the place because the diration of the call text changes size while counting.

Truly, and honestly, this software makes me feel miserabel. I would be hesitant accepting a project that requires me to use Teams in the future.
Good Catch!

> LLMs are not incapable of telling the truth. They tell the truth all the time. They're incapable of knowing if what they're telling is the truth.

We're well into philosophy at this point, but I'd argue that telling the truth requires knowledge of the truth. Individual statements could be true, false, or neither. But I'd say neither an LLM nor a monkeys-with-typewriters generator could be said to tell the truth, because what they're doing is both orthogonal to truth and lacking in agency. If we stretch to thinking of it as having agency, then I think the correct term would be "bullshitting", aka producing speech "without regard for truth". [1]

Of course it can't. No LLM can. They're bullshit generators. Some people have been saying it from the start, and now everyone is saying it.

It's a mystery why Microsoft is going full speed ahead with this. A possible explanation is that they do this to annoy / terrify Google.

It's important that consumers learn this the hard way. When they start losing money, then the flaws of ML become obvious.

> The way we fix this in most of the rest of the world is “providing citations”

Statistical generation of text doesn’t work in a way which makes “providing citations” a straightforward thing; It’s not reading a bunch of text, making notecards on ideas, and then using the notecards to build a written response where ideas directly come from sources that are quoted or paraphrased.

“Providing citations” can be a goal for the output, but its not much in the way of an an answer to “how”. And you can ask some of the current tools to provide citations, and when they do it at all, they can hallucinate citations just as well as anything else. (This has been seen in many of the attempts to get ChatGPT, etc., to produce legal arguments.)

Now, checking citations, to some degree of utility, is probably tractable if the cited material is available, as AI’s are good at summarizing text, so comparing summary of a passage with a citation against the summary of the cited material should be possible, but I don’t think any AI system yet has found a way to provide good enough citations (even with some occasional hallucinations) that citation checking to raise flags on the bad ones would be enough to get us to useful results. The challenge is how to both recognize when citations are appropriate and generate good ones a high percentage of the time.
For me the ability to seamlessly start a meeting, pull in 10 participants from different organizations by just sharing a URL and be off to the races a few minutes later is what makes the difference. If I have to spend even a couple of minutes debugging audio/video issues, dealing with people that can't seem to join, people that are trying to install a client that they then can't get to work, people that need to make IDs for some proprietary system and so on then it's a non-starter for me.

I'm fine with asking the meeting organizer to have an account but the participants should just be able to use the web client with a minimum of hassle.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

For chats, it is embarrassingly slow at rendering. Seemingly only maintains the last ~two dozen messages in memory, if you scroll back in history, you have to painfully wait for it to retrieve the text and then render it. Weird rendering bugs frequently.

Meanwhile, I remember reading full ebooks on my Pentium which were rendered as a single HTML file with zero lag.
> I would strongly advise everyone to max out their ESPP contributions (you can contribute a maximum of 15% of your salary, up to the IRS mandated $25,000 limit).

IIRC we used to be able to contribute more than 15% of salary. I recall nearly doubling my base salary in the late 90s by putting something like 25% in. That was a particularly sweet ESPP in that they set the price to be the lowest in the last 2 years. Now I think it's always the lowest in the quarter or half that you're participating in so not nearly as lucrative as it used to be.
> That's pretty clearly working around the intent of the access controls, yeah.

Is it? Youtube-dl had the following argumentation [1]:

For a subset of videos, YouTube employs a mechanism it calls a "signature." Here is our understanding of how it works: when a user requests certain YouTube videos, YouTube's servers send a small JavaScript program to the user's browser, embedded in the YouTube player page. That program calculates a number referred to as "sig." That number then forms part of the Uniform Resource Locator that the user's browser sends back to YouTube to request the actual video stream. This mechanism is completely visible to the user simply by viewing the source code of the player page. The video stream is not encrypted, and no secret knowledge is required to access the video stream. JavaScript is a ubiquitous technology found on millions of websites and understandable by numerous software programs. Any software capable of running JavaScript code can derive the URL of the video stream and access the stream, regardless of whether the software has been approved by YouTube. To borrow an analogy from literature, travelers come upon a door that has writing in a foreign language. When translated, the writing says "say 'friend' and enter." The travelers say "friend" and the door opens. As with the writing on that door, YouTube presents instructions on accessing video streams to everyone who comes asking for it.

Why shouldn't this apply to this addon? They are not decrypting anything, they don't have secret knowledge to access the article and plaintext JS is anything but unreadable bytecode. If you can merely change your referrer to "facebook.com" or your user agent to "googlebot" to get the article text, then it is hardly any serious DRM. This addon is NOT sharing cookies or using stolen logins. If publishers really wanted to stop people from freely accessing the articles, they could just make a login-wall or token-validation like the German publishers spiegel.de, bild.de etc.

And yes, ROT-13 wouldn't be an adequate protection either.

Plenty of governments do want to be landlords. If yours doesn't then perhaps you should consider electing a different one.

> They don't want to have to orchestrate painting, drywall, gutters, electrical, plumbing, evictions, improvements, picking out tile.

Why not? Governments ultimately want to serve there electorate. If there electorate wants decent quality affordable housing, then why would a government not want to provide that. Conceptually it's no different to the government running say a police force.

> providing services that tenants grouped together with limited income might need like domestic abuse resolution and support, job training, food box distribution.

Then don't group together tenants with limited income! You don't necessarily even need to group together government owned/run properties at all. There's no reason why a regular house on a regular street couldn't be government owned/run, mixed in with others that are privately owned.

Why are you assuming that government properties or tenants of government properties would be any different to privately owned properties or tenants of private landlords? That's only the case when the government only provides housing as a last resort, but if the government took a wider role in housing many of those problem would go away as the tenants would just be the general population.
Robocop was making 2000 SPF jokes in 1997. That means that the risk of UV was something that people were “aware” of but the pop-culture take was that high-SPF sunscreens were a bit of a joke and “a terrible future” where you had to take it seriously was something to make fun of as well.

As I recall, the high-SPF sunscreen in the Robocop spoof included a warning that the sunscreen itself was carcinogenic. This is more evidence that that the intent was not to warn of the very real risks of the sun but rather to take shots at the rapid increase in SPF ratings ( going from 2 and 4 being normal and weirdos buying 8 to 30 and 45 being common on the shelf if memory serves ).

Edit: sorry, it was 5000 SPF

Not necessarily; many people just don't know they can enable it, or can't be bothered, or don't really know the details and have better things to do than investigate so opt-out "just in case" but wouldn't mind opting-in if they were familiar with the details.

At this point I think it's very hard to say what "most users" do or don't want exactly.

A bit concerned that all of the layoffs, forced retirements, and cost reductions in the airline industry have reduced the safety of commercial flights. There have been so many near incidents lately and they have all been unforced errors either by pilots or air traffic controllers who are either undertrained or overworked.

>> we spent a full day because there was one customer that positively insisted that we had to use their Teams setup rather

So you tried it once, as a guest and then banned the entire things with out understand the permissions systems or any other possible causes?

Understand that as a Admin I have the power to block Guests from Joining, Block some features from Guest, and so alot of things that is not commonly possible under other platforms. Often these security settings are aggressive by default, for example we had an issue with one client needing to connect to one of our teams room, teams and the room worked fine but because the security settings the Guest could not connect, everyone else could but the guest could not

This is not something that can be fixed by the guest, nor it is problem with teams as a technology, it is the security controls built into the platform

Is this going to hold up to legal scrutiny? It looks like it's blatantly contradicting itself. The author is calling it an "MIT" license, but does not appear to be associated with MIT -- is MIT cool with that? The author is not a lawyer. Nice concept, but I don't trust the execution.

As time goes on and we add more layers to it the usefulness of the product will increase.

Deconstruction of anonymity is an academic and agencies proven success.
