"Child" is used loosely by commenters on this article, its fairly obvious they mean teenager when they say "underage". It was stated the hours were flexible and they're going to college so its assumed this is after school.

Given its perfectly fine for teenagers (not children) to take part time work here and many of us here had to earn extra money before becoming adults or to help save up for education. I don't see the problem. My part time job bought me my own computer, that I used to start the career I'm in now. If you want me to believe they're more exploited than I was at my part time job at McDonald's of which was also of great benefit to me, you're nuts.

This article tries to make this is somehow exploitative. This would be a great part time job here, it just pays the rate there, and its normal to pay kids less than adults anyway since its assumed their living costs are mostly covered by parents (a living wage is unnecessary) and their inexperience and unreliability makes its so if you're going to pay full rate you're better off with an adult.

If the kids were doing to to make money for the latest Playstation, this would be fine here. I'm not seeing an issue going off what's in the article, if anything it seems like a huge boon considering what other jobs are likely available to teenage workers.

>“It’s digital slavery,” says Hassan.

It's only slavery if you're not allowed to leave, if its a bad deal, the wages aren't worth your time and effort, then don't do it. Go work in a blacksmith shop or something else they do in Pakistan that's somehow accepted but far more hazardous.

The whole article is framed in a completely champagne social justice lense and not what's practical or what works or is to a mutual benefit for both parties. If demand for those jobs has gone up and this depresses wages, that's how it works here.

I don’t know if “strongly doubting“ you could buy one of these chips and have it in your house is a strong enough basis for arguing a conflict of interest between open AI and this chip company. People seem to be making an awful lot of assumptions about the specifics of a company that doesn’t even exist yet.

US ex-President Jimmy Carter's wife Rosalynn dies aged 96
The same elephant is in the room in Germany. The society starts discovering patriotism which was unthinkable few years ago. The problem gets slowly too noticeable to be hidden by mainstream politicians.

So either he is going to be CEO, or he is never coming back...
Make him the same offer he made Brockman - you can stay on as an employee but you're off the board.
WaPo needs better journalistic skills.

Rosalynn's idea of deinstitutionalizing mental health entails mass-closing down mental health facilities in favor of local community-based mental counseling also is still incidentially causing a steady rise of mental health outbursts in public to a peak we have never seen before to this day.

The last nail in the coffin was Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 which effectively closed the revolving door of psychiatric hospitals for 950,000 patients, left to the "street" to fend for themselves or be poorly treated at jails and prisons.

Take-home of mental health prescription medicine of 1973 was this the tee off.

> pulling investment would be a hard power. Imagine if Microsoft says the change in leadership and idiotic board means the contract is done, no more compute for openAI and then goes on to back Sam Altmans new company

...losing their licenses to OpenAI's technology and thus the Azure OpenAI service offering for which they have enterprise customers who went with them because Microsoft is the secure, enterprise vendor whose reliability they have learned to count on.

Good way to make the "Nobody got fired for hiring Microsoft" that followed the same thing for IBM a thing of the past.

Yeah, with the right people, Sam's company might eventually give Microsoft a technically-adequate replacement technology, but Microsoft's enterprise position isn't founded on technical adequacy alone.
Thanks, I must've become paranoid about AI
Wouldn't it make sense to use something like Google Maps, filter to the lowest one or two price categories, and go from there?

I'd figure Google Maps, being less explicitly targeted to tourists, would be likely to include reviews and pricing data relative to a local mentality, which might not be so willing to spend tourist prices.

It's easier, I suppose, if you're doing a walking/public transit oriented trip and are in a city-- if you don't like what you see when you close in, just go 50 metres further down the street.
It depends completely on the organization. The one I'm in it absolutely is not a scam, my first year I took 168 hours and nobody blinked, in fact (we have a policy that over 160 requires 2nd level manager approval), when I set everything up to take 159 hours my manager reached out to me an told me to go ahead and take the last day I hadn't included in that request even though it put me over 160, and it was approved the same day.

YMMV -- other places I've been told are not so good about it.
It’s pretty clearly just a power play by four of the board members. Keep in mind Sam was part of the board and Greg Brockman was chairman of the board, so this was 4 board members ousting 2 other board members. OpenAI execs have already said it wasn’t for wrongdoing.
The company explicitly says you can sync obsidian notes by yourself if you so wish. They offer a paid version but under the same conditions as everybody else. I also use SyncThing like the other person who replied and it works great. I really dig Obsidian.

Paying someone tiny amounts of money to do a boring job when they have other options available is not slavery. Slavery still exists today, mostly in the form of phony debt bondage or entrapment of workers who are in a country illegally but sometimes as direct enslavement with no pretenses, and it does not look like sitting in front of a computer or on a phone training AI.
> The software story for Apple is not there for complicated development tasks (for simple webdev it’s completely useable).

Well.. it's understandable that some people believe that things which are important and interesting to them (and presumably the ones which they work with on/with) are somehow inherently superior to what everyone else is doing.

And I understand that, to be fair I don't use MacOS that much these days besides when I need to work on my laptop. However.. most of those limitations are irrelevant/merely nuisances/outweighed by other considerations for a very high number of people who have built some very complicated and complex software (which has generated many billions in revenue) over the years. You're free to look down on those people since I don't really think they are bothered by that too much...

> for simple webdev it’s completely useable

I assume you also believe that any webdev (frontend anyway) is inherently simple and pretty much worhtless compared to the more "serious" stuff?

Unless sam Altman is actually GPT4 and is typing like mad at all times I don’t see how this impacts OpenAI in the least. There are plenty of suitors waiting for a chance to back OpenAI and forge such close partnerships. Sam is a talking head, backing his venture is backing vaporware until it’s not. OpenAI is here and now, and even if he churns senior leadership and line people, their advantage is so extreme at the present it’ll be a few years of disruption before anyone has caught up, it’s when that happens it’s more likely to be Claude than some new venture.
I think you're confused. We're talking about a hypothetical internal OpenAI prototype, and the specific example you listed is one I said wasn't feasible for the company to have right now. The money would come from the same budget that funds the rest of OpenAI's research.
I mean, I used to work in SF, in North Beach¹. Fisherman's Wharf is the tourist trap, and it's like right there, and in the years I worked for, never ate there. (I've been there as a tourist though.)

For lunch we'd hike over the hill into little Italy, and there was a decent sandwich shop we'd get lunch at. (Freddy's) Before the hill there was a small asian couple who ran a small shop, they made a good mushroom stew. No idea if they're still in business, though, or what their place was called.

Neither were restaurants … you weren't going to be finding a seat at least inside. There's plenty of seating around SF though, if you know where to look.

WW2 ended 80 years ago, that is plenty of time for Congress to change the rules if it were so inclined.

The fact that they don’t even want to level the playing field on this specific issue, which is already overall tilted towards big business and the rich, speaks volumes.
I am following the thread for years now and their financials were always a shitshow. I believe they never released anything on time or without the community begging for it. Well, except some fluff blog post at the end of the year without real data. I love Matrix but it's a fishy foundation. With this and Element not releasing server code under apache 2 anymore, it looks more and more like Element is going for entshitification.

Yeah no I get this but the naming convention has become so prolific that anyone working in generative space hears "Style<thing>" and you should think "GAN". (I work in generative vision btw)

My point is not that it is technically right, it is that the name is strongly related with the concept now. Such that if you use a style based network and don't name it StyleX that it's odd and might look like you're trying to claim you've done more. Not that there aren't plenty of GANs that are using Karras's code and called something else.

> AdaIN

Yes, StyleGAN (version 1) uses AdaIN but StyleGAN2 (and beyond) doesn't. AdaIN stands for Adaptive Instance Normalization. While they use it in that network, to be clear, they did not invent AdaIN and the technique isn't explicit to style, it's a normalization technique. One that StyleGAN2 modifies because the standard one creates strong and localized spikes in the statistics which results in image artifacts.
They can just stop giving them new GPUs, undercut their API prices by a significant margin(they have the same models!), set up transitioning pipeline, etc. They can cause OpenAI A LOT of pain if they want to.
My theory is that humans inject this into it. My observation and feelings are that animals see themselves as part of a much larger whole and don’t worry too much about being the “final whatever”, it’s just a concept.

> No one is going to leave Microsoft because of some amateur hour non profit board fuckery that had Microsoft stepping in as the adult.

But will they leave Microsoft (or, at least, be less inclined to rely on Microsoft in the future where competitors exsit) because of Microsoft terminating a relationship on which their access to a technology at the core of an enterprise service that enterprise customers rely on is based?
That sounds incredibly useful, and it doesn't sound like it should be particularly hard to implement in modern systems. Maybe it just needs a term so people can search and advertise it.
Seems all but confirmed that Sam is going back to OpenAI.

To be fair, being at the profiting end of those traps is one of the ways in which, as GP put it, "the poor can enjoy things".
The key question in my mind is not who is going to be on the new board, but whether Ilya Sutskever will stay if Altman comes back. I worry that OpenAI without Ilya is not going to produce groundbreaking innovations at the same pace. Hopefully Sam Altman and Ilya Sutskever can patch things up. That's more important than who they add or remove to the board.
A CEO self-dealing can be civilly (and in gross cases, criminally) convicted of violating their fiduciary duty to act in the company's interest, over their own, and violating company trade secrets.

(If Altman doesn't want to be restricted by fiduciary duties then he shouldn't be on a board or be an executive.)

How could Altman possibly not use private OpenAI information regarding its hardware needs, when creating an AI hardware company he wants to serve OpenAI? And its competitors?

He could invest in a new AI hardware company created and run by other people (without his specific input) without a conflict. That does not appear to be the case here. He could create an OpenAI hardware subsidiary. Again not what he was doing.
I have no personal feelings to Altman what so ever. What I dislike is the worship and rewriting of history to appease the business tycoons in the tech industry who are little more than parasites in many cases and I believe this one could be one of those cases.

On the flip side I think your blind worship of these tech business leeches may be clouding your judgement.
I tried it. Sounds absolutely nothing like my voice or my wife's voice. I used the same sample files as I used 2 days ago on the Eleven Labs website, and they worked flawlessly there. So this is very, very far from being close to "Eleven Labs quality" when it comes to voice cloning.
I would call most intelligent space aliens from movies "deeply human". Which makes sense, they were created by humans to tell stories to other humans. So I guess being human is not a prerequisite to being "deeply human". I wonder if real space aliens, if they exist, are in fact like this. The closest earthly thing we have to intelligent aliens - octopi - are not.
> It's just like any other art form.

But of course it is also unlike most other art forms. To execute a movie you need a small army of specialist each providing their own talents. And of course one also needs wagonloads of money for wages, equipment, and other costs.

I believe that is where all the weird fighting over control comes from. Have you ever heard of producers bullying poets over control of their poems? I haven't. Probably because the involved budgets are much smaller.

In this regard I don't know what other art forms are similar to it? Cathedral building maybe?
Decoupling health insurance and retirement investment plans from one's employer reduces friction for individuals selling their labor to switch jobs without worrying that it is going to blow up some other facet of their lives.

How it works here in Australia: there's a public health system (~15% of federal government budget). Individuals or families can also purchase varying degrees of private health cover, if they so wish. Health insurance isn't coupled to employment. There's no standard or expectation that employers directly provide health cover to employees as part of the deal of being an employee.

Similarly, choices for how to invest for retirement are decoupled from employment. 11% of gross wages must be paid into a "superannuation" fund, a special kind of tax-advantaged investment fund. The employee has the choice of which superannuation fund they want to use, and can elect to switch between funds.

There is a marketplace of private health insurers and superannuation (retirement investment) funds. Both the private health insurance sector and the superannuation sector are regulated, which reduces the potential for the degree of criminality and grift. Competition is essential, but regulation is also essential and in the public benefit.

Large companies may choose to set up and offer their own proprietary superannuation funds to their employees, but employees have the freedom to ignore this and choose a different externally managed fund. E.g. LiarsGriftersThievesMountebanks LLC might offer their employees the option of directing their superannuation contributions to the proprietary LGTM retirement fund, which invests employees funds in bonded whisky barrel scams run by parties related to the directors, and charges 2% p.a. management fees, but employees have the freedom to ignore this deal and use some other super fund. There are giant "industry funds" that historically were set up by trade unions & only open to people working in a specific industry -- they're often operating at a large enough scale to provide good investment returns, have low fees, and are operated as not-for-profits.
See my other comment. StyleGAN isn't about AdaIN. StyleGAN2 even modified it.

That is a very condescending take.

Lots of people choose to go to tourist traps for their own reasons. You don't have to like what they like. Like many, I even go back to some "terribly" touristy places because it is what I wish to do.

I also do off-the-beaten-path travel as well. But I usually can't blend in as though I were a local. I also have the freedoms and restrictions usual to tourists.

Examples: I enjoy touristy Queenstown in my own country. I like Bali. Not a fan of Bangkok.

On-topic: Backpacker accommodation and number of hotels signal tourist areas. To avoid tourists, don't stay in convenient accommodation!

It'd probably come down to the legal definition of "deception." It's not Sam's fault if the customer saw a lot of people poring over screens and walking around with papers and assumed they were employees. But if he explicitly introduced them as employees, yeah, that'd be over the line.

Similar to the debate over whether it was ethical of Reddit to seed themselves with sock puppets.

In Europe, a huge driver for standardization of timezones into "reasonable" slots was railway traffic, including cross-border traffic.

Railways are extremely sensitive to exact time and, indeed, the very concept of unified time across the entire region or country only started developing when railways expanded across Europe. Prior to that, individual towns were happy with their own local solar time, but once railway connections were introduced, time irregularities would cause chaos at best and carnage at worst. That led to introduction of unified railway time which developed to timezones as we know them.

Railways aren't as prominent nowadays as they were 100-150 years ago, and countries like Nepal and India don't have extensive, frequently used cross-border railways anyway; any cross-border traffic is sporadic and mostly freight. So there is one fewer reason to cooperate with your neighbors when it comes to time-related issues. Trucks can take weird timezone changes just fine.
To second this- I have been an extreme night owl my entire life. Trying to sync my sleep/wake to an early morning schedule was to live a miserable life of permanent jetlag. It wasn't thriving; it was barely surviving, with no mental juice left for love or hobbies.

I finally had a health event that was a real come-to-Jesus moment about 10 years ago. As part of dealing with it, I learned to accept my nature as being what it is.

And now, 10 years on, my life has never been better. That doesn't mean easy or without issue, but I'm finally living as myself. And that makes all the difference.
