Not a lawyer. When a legal hold is issued, the company is instructed not to destroy potential evidence related to the case.

They don’t have to perform additional recordings and minutes. But they exist, they can’t destroy it.

You should see the aspiring middle managers, they saw managers doing this, insisted you could never turn on history with them, and then tried 10x’ing by claiming…its wrong to ever attribute a statement to anyone personally in meeting notes lmfao. I’m not kidding.

This is where the motives for building this technology become questionable.

On the one hand they won’t talk details because it’s about safety, then open ai just throws the thing on the Internet, with “tools”

Then it’s about the competitive landscape, which is completely ridiculous as you can’t be competing to building more powerful AIs in secret by means of an arms race and respect safety protocols and be “careful”. Realistically, the top minds , and thinkers of our time should be working carefully and together to develop tech like this. Not competing against each other in secret labs.

There’s just way too many mixed messages in their story. They seem confused themselves about what they’re trying to achieve. Which I find unsettling. Now I can’t help but think like everything else, this is just all banking hoping to establish a monopoly via regulation and raise as much money as possible.
> couldn't this just be circumvented by having an in-person meeting?

here I present you a case for the perils of remote work
In the early 1990s I was very late for a flight. My friend dropped me off at the departure area; I got out of the car 5 minutes before departure time.

I ran through the airport to security, let them know what flight I was on, and then ran to the gate after walking through the metal detector fully clothed and sending my bag through x-ray. Security radioed the gate and the flight crew left the door open so I could board. I made it, took my seat and buckled in, they closed the door and the plane pushed back. Elapsed time car seat to plane seat was about 7 minutes. Every single person I interacted with was helpful and understanding.

What strikes me today is that EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT FLYING SUCKS. Airports are just part of the problem.

I know this sounds extreme but they need to deregulate and privatize every single thing about the airline industry.

Government just needs to ensure that liability flows in part to executives and board members regardless of corporate structure.

Airlines can form a consortium to operate ATC themselves and can modernize it; something the government is completely failing at.

A modern ATC would let us break away from the hub model that gives airports so much power.

And your sandwich will be cheaper at an airport closer to your destination where you didn’t have to wait an hour for security to feel you up and take naked pictures of you.
Brain is nothing like attention networks at least in terms of dynamics and individual neuron complexity, my wild ass guess; there is not enough space in DNA to store even 10% of brain connections.

Confluent also moved early on the Confluent Community Licence for Kafka Connect connectors they developed to prevent other service providers being able to provide the service that Confluent did.
> A charger right this second, at the exact location (airport, past security) is obviously going to cost more.

I think the point they're making is that it's curious that "a charger right this second, at this exact supermarket" is nowhere near 33 usd in 2015 prices. It's specifically airports, not about waiting for 3 weeks (or even 3 hours) of shipping.

> ie., we DO NOT make theories out of data. We first make theories then use the data to select between them.

No we don't, we make hypotheses and then test them. Hypotheses are based on data.

There are physics experiments being done right now where the exact hope is that existing theory has not predicted the result they produce, because then we'd have data to hypothesis something new.[1]

> Lord forbid the Ukraine war end in some kind of negotiated settlement

No negotiation is possible when Russia's starting position is that Ukraine is not a real country and Ukrainians are not a real people. Putin's held that position for years:

The way the war ends is Russia is first defeated and the negotiations that will then follow will be about the reparations Russia must pay and the war criminals Russia must extradite.
Alas, the MME is also expensive and difficult to get. Though I appreciate their commitment to continued CarPlay support, presumably including the next-gen dashboardy version.

I had quite some fun asking questions and finding the limits of it's (current) knowledge.

With more RIFL it will only get better. Nice progress!!
For the sort of "creative" apps I'm interested in, kbd short cuts other than Ctrl/Cmd-[cxv] are the domain of the app, and more or less every possible combination is used. My own app has more than 400 shortcuts just when installed with no additions by the user. What the OS or other apps do is of no relevance for creative apps (except for other similar apps).
I think the human brain is naturally predisposed to learn a language, an evolutionary bias.

That helps tremendously compared to a tabula rasa.
> Yes, but there's presumably a difference between deleting evidence vs. not having it in the first place.

In the article it seems Google's "history off" feature isn't really history-off so much as it simply auto-deletes after 24h. If the chats were never logged, would they have avoided this?

Also how far does the law go regarding deletion - I mean if a message was stored in memory and then released/garbage collected does that still count as "deleting evidence"? Because if so, then virtually any means of electronic communication might be counted as "deleting evidence". For example a voip call audio buffer that gets deleted.

(Just thinking out loud, not that I would ever want to circumvent the law)
> Not letting markets determine appropriate prices simply leads to society wide misallocation of resources.

So does wealth redistribution via taxes (and printing money, which is a significant component of wealth redistribution in all developed countries, and not to the advantage of the poorer people).

The right way to prevent exploitation is to equalize bargaining power. But doing that requires less government interference, not more; free markets aren't perfect, but they do better at equalizing bargaining power than the alternatives. For example, the reason Uber can exploit its gig workers is that its competition, taxis, is already regulated up one side and down the other by the government, and hence is horribly inefficient (and exploitative of its drivers), so Uber can compete simply by being a little bit less inefficient. Nobody has ever even tried to see what an actual free market in transit would come up with.
Also this: "When asked under oath about the attempted deletion of the message, Mr. Pichai had no explanation, testifying “I
definitely don’t know” and “I don’t recall.” "
No, absolutely not. Legal holds prevent you from destroying evidence, they don't require you to produce new evidence and make it available. The legal theory of the plaintiffs in this case is that using 24-hour-expiring chats is tantamount to destroying evidence every 24 hours. I'm not a lawyer and can't comment on how well this matches with previous precedent in this area, but I get the general vague sense that using "off-the-record" to specifically avoid discovery is often something courts take a very dim view of—even when those chats are replacing in-person conversations and meetings the court would have no way of knowing about before the advent of IM.

EDIT: And the court in this case took a dim view of it as well: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.37...

> At the heart of this dispute is a simple question: did Google do the right thing with respect to preserving Chat communications in this case? There is no doubt that Google was perfectly free to set up an internal IM service with any retention period of its choosing for employees to use for whatever purposes they liked. The overall propriety of Chat is not in issue here. What matters is how Google responded after the lawsuits were filed, and whether it honored the evidence preservation duties it was abundantly familiar with from countless prior cases. The record establishes that Google fell strikingly short on that score. Several aspects of Google’s conduct are troubling. As Rule 37 indicates, the duty to preserve relevant evidence is an unqualified obligation in all cases. The Court’s Standing Order for Civil Cases expressly spells out the expectation that “as soon as any party reasonably anticipates or knows of litigation, it will take the necessary, affirmative steps to preserve evidence related to the issues presented by the action, including, without limitation, interdiction of any document destruction programs and any ongoing erasures of e-mails, voice mails, and other electronically-recorded material.” Google clearly had different intentions with respect to Chat, but it did not reveal those intentions with candor or directness to the Court or counsel for plaintiffs. Instead, Google falsely assured the Court in a case management statement in October 2020 that it had “taken appropriate steps to preserve all evidence relevant to the issues reasonably evident in this action,” without saying a word about Chats or its decision not to pause the 24-hour default deletion.
Yes and no. Airport security showed up after US hijackings had already peaked, based on timing it seems the Federal Air Marshal Service service may have had a larger impact. The airport screenings are really an outgrowth of a Supreme Court case making such in depth screenings legal.

Also it was relatively frequent but not that serious in the late 1960’s. The first US fatality from aircraft high jacking didn’t occur until 1970.

Attacking airports has also happened multiple times including a 2002 incident in LA and even quite deadly attacks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lod_Airport_massacre

It seems obvious to me that they want to move to more of a service model where you pay for an "Xbox" subscription and play on whatever devices you have and leave the traditional model behind. We can quibble about the wisdom but it seems like you're calling them a failure for doing exactly what they want to do.

My thought about emergence is that it is not a phenomenon in its own right, but a category of phenomena that are identified subjectively. A lot has been written describing the wonders of emergence. Synthetic model systems have been developed with seemingly emergent behaviors, without leading to novel, empirically testable predictions. So far the only empirically testable models leading to emergent behaviors such as we observe in nature, are in fact the laws of physics and chemistry, more or less as we know them today.

To me, "magic" means that a phenomenon is inherently inaccessible to naturalistic inquiry, not merely that such inquiry is temporarily stalled due to inattention, lack of the right insight, or insufficient technology.
As can be seen by the Madoff afair.

mmm i'm looking for the legal documentation/language that requires google to hold the data for this particular topic.

because i'm in agreement with the grandparent comment that why is the topic subject to legal holds vs just having a meeting in person? Are in person meetings rquired to have a voice recorder present? it seems like a weird legal precedent.
Just ignore anything that ends with an "In conclusion" paragraph.
who in particular would you punish? All this behavior is required by company policy, presumably set by Google's legal department: "Google employees are instructed that chatting “‘off the record’” is “[b]etter than sending . . . email” specifically because Google destroys off-the-record Chats every 24 hours, whereas it retains emails to produce in litigation".
> Tech doesn’t seem to have reached that point just yet.

It's on a high speed train heading in that direction now.
Minor quibble.

"Summarization can be done with little to no insight at all. Perhaps to do it better requires some insight."

By this standard caching requires little to no insight at all. Perhaps some predictors require insight.
You’re accusing a well-respected government agency of publicly lying. That’s a strong claim. What possible reason would they they have to do that?

And before you say the US Government lies all the time, this is the National Weather Service, not the CIA. They’re about the as non-partisan and trusted as you can get. They don’t run psyops programs, they provide massive piles of free and valuable scientific data to the public every day. They devise sophisticated weather models and run supercomputers. I think they probably know how to use an API.
From the Wikipedia article:

At 07:55 UTC, when Vostok 1 was still 7 km (4.3 mi) from the ground, the hatch of the spacecraft was released, and two seconds later Gagarin was ejected. At 2.5 km (8,200 ft) altitude, the main parachute was deployed from the Vostok spacecraft.[43]

Gagarin's parachute opened almost immediately, and about ten minutes later, at 08:05 UTC, Gagarin landed. Both he and the spacecraft landed via parachute 26 km (16 mi) south west of Engels, in the Saratov region at 51.270682°N 45.99727°E.
"I don't think being black, gay, or christian is the same as bringing a gun to a conference or event."

Those things are all equally out of scope of a trademark copyright document.

And as I've repeated mutiple times now, an event organizer or a property owner are perfectly able to set such limits (assuming local laws allow). That could even be the foundation if they happen to be the ones hosting some event.

I don't know why you keep ignoring that yet expect to be taken seriously as having any sort of point.
I mean like you are aware that an AI is on the other end, and know you shouldn't give it access.

Money Stuff: The SEC Wants To See More Phones https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2023-02-02/the-se...
We've done this in numerous rental cars. Many variations of the same problem -- it picks the phone it picks. We've had to resort to deleting one phone from the car (and the phone's bluetooth) to get it back on the other phone.

It's inconceivable how the pairings are so bad and there isn't just a button for each phone connected that just works. Even when switching does work, all it takes is one blip and it hops over the other phone.

Again, this is on multiple cars on long road trips where we have at least two people to work on it and literally hours to figure it out. We generally settle on a single phone per car now, because it just isn't worth it.
Cluster density, cluster location, eagerness to connect, distribution of cell types, etc. are all coded in DNA and contribute to creating "initial weights". Neuron "weights" need not be stored completely uncompressed.

Obviously newborns need to develop and take in stimulus before they "know" anything, so the initial conditions are not sufficient, but they are obviously necessary to make the limited learning useful.

Not a lawyer, but my amateur guess is the answer to your first question would be yes, and the answer to your second question would be no, because of the common-sense understanding of how computer storage works and what it means to delete something. There's no need to have an information-theoretic definition of "destruction" here.
The CentOS Stream transition was a shift from the "throw it over the wall" model of open source like Android to a more collaborative approach.

Example: As a user of (original) CentOS, you discover a bug. Where do you report that bug? The Red Hat Enterprise Linux bug tracker, because CentOS is just a clone and the community has no real ability to fix things. Then what? You wait until a Red Hat employee gets around to looking at it, and then wait until the next patch release which might be up to 6 months away.

Now repeat with the new model.

As a user of either CentOS Stream or one of the RHEL clones such as Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, etc. you discover a bug. Where do you report that bug? The CentOS Stream bug tracker, upstream for RHEL and thus also upstream for all RHEL clones. CentOS Stream is a community project, so the community (including yourself, and including maintainers for Alma / Rocky / Oracle Linux) can actively contribute to and drive the fix onwards to completion and test it afterwards, wheras before it would sit in internal nightly builds for a few months.

Both the community and Red Hat benefit from aligning incentives that way. However, I understand why there was a lot of frustration about the way it was announced and implemented. It could have been handled better.

disclosure: I work for Red Hat, but not on anything related to RHEL or CentOS Stream.

"Do NOT delete any emails. <chuckles>. Let me say that again to make sure everyone has understood me correctly: do NOT delete any emails!"

The way it was said, the chuckle, and the way it was repeated with the extra emphasis on NOT, sent a clear message: delete all such emails.

I can only speak to the land of DAWs:
