>If openai would pay usage fees for the training material per user its generating content for - it would never be profitable

In that case, good? I thought if nothing else, these past year or two would teach companies about sinking money into unsustainable businesses and then price gauging later (i know it won't, the moment interest rates fall we are back to square one). If it isn't profitable, scale down the means of production (which may include paying C class executives one less yatch per year, tragic), charge more upfront to the customers, or work out better deals with your 3rd parties (which is artists in this case).

I also find some scheudenfredre in that these companies are trying to sell "less enployees" to other companies but would also benefit from said scaling down as they throw out defenses of "we can't afford to pay every copyright" .

Immigration is not a static phenomenon. The birthrates of immigrant groups drop to more closely match the existing population, and the origin nations of immigrant groups change over time, sometimes eventually becoming nations with net positive immigration. Colombia for example was a nation with net negative migration due to the drug war and political violence, but is now about even due to a surge of immigrants from Venezuela and the US. Or just think about the patterns of Irish or Italian immigration to the US.

There's also a huge historic and geographic factor, specifically colonialism, that creates connections for immigration that would otherwise be unlikely. It's not like this is some clockwork system where every citizen migrates to the richest country that can reach at any given time. It's people, by the tens of millions, making the best decisions they can for themselves and their family based on the political and economic realities.

For output to be accurate, input has to be precise. But there's a trend of dumbing down and minifying interfaces and then tacking AI to guess what the user really means from the little input he is allowed.

It will never work. It can't work. Anyone who thinks this can work is delusional. And with Google it's particularly obvious how stupid the trend is.

Look at the "tabs" Google has for search: all, images, videos, shopping, news, etc. This is things users can input. But wait! What if an user wants news about something? And they have to reach all the way out to the news tab. That's too much for our bubbling moronic users to manage! They can't into computers. They have room temperature IQ. They have never used Google before, so they don't know where the tab is. They probably don't know what tabs or links are either. I know what I'll do. I'll put an AI to reorder the TABS of my users based on their search history, query input, season of the year, and their zodiac sign based on what birth day they used when they signed up for a Google account. That should solve it.

And now the order of the tabs is all over the place and when you want to click the "images" tab it's sometimes not the second tab and when you want to click the "videos" tab it's sometimes not the third tab.

I think this is very interesting because you have to think. If Google can fail this hard at tabs, which is not really a complicated thing to program, imagine how hard they are failing at indexing the entire interweb. Imagine if they are doing to search results the same nonsense bullshit they are doing to the tabs. Just imagine it. It's clear they have absolutely no idea what they're doing with the tabs.
I think this is great. It proves how well good ideas can quickly replicate around the world and improve the quality of services and products that we consume.

Will they all look the same? Probably, but the market will seek next great novel idea and more rapidly replicate it to become the new standard.
Playing together with friends and with mods for different settings like Japan, Canada, etc. is what keeps the game interesting for me personally. It isn't about having a giant profit, but building interesting things.
Control theory is also used by databases (probably not as often as it should be). It's great for "self tuning" [1], for example tuning the various cache sizes a database has to maximize throughput under changing workload conditions. Its definitely worth spending the time to understand PID controllers if your an engineer working on databases.

I have an iPhone that fell, and its fingerprint reader doesn’t work any longer. It simply cannot recognise my fingers, or it does recognise the finger once in like 50 attempts. I was unable to trace what I did and how much I pushed that sensor. I turned the biometrics off and use passwords instead. It’s less convenient, but I’m not planning to upgrade the phone for that very reason either. So I’m stuck with this for a while. I cannot imagine how passkeys are going to work in this scenario.

This, and also brand dependency, is what makes my worried about passkeys. If I got the idea correctly. It hashes my fingerprint data, but what if my fingerprint changes? I have that very often on my iPad that it stops seeing my thumbs as the correct thing. I assume that happens due to some manual work I may do. And my thumb becomes different to the sensor. I hack that with my pinky finger, for some reason it’s more reliable. But what if something happens to the sensor and it stops being reliable.

What are my options then? What are my options if I’m about to change my smartphone brand? What are my options if I’m on my PC that has no sensors for any biometrics?

Anyway, it seems like a lot of "meaning" people get out of thing is actually completely based on pride and if there is something out there that can do it better it's not worth doing because their sense of pride is destroyed.

In essence, humans reject the potential for a scarcity free paradise because of lack of "meaning" (aka pride). It's almost biblical.

My recollection is that someone adopted the ksh93 tree and started making incompatible changes, which were picked up by some distributions (Debian I know) and broke things.

I use ksh93 as my primary shell, interactively and for personal scripts. For scripting, a killer feature is the declarative `getopts` that makes it trivial for even the quickest dirtiest script to have full command line option handling including help.
>For example, if there was a passionate person creating authentic, amazing content about dogs, they wouldn’t even crack page 1 on any search for dog toys no matter how good their content is.

So basically the problem of search engines and Google in particular is discovery. All early Google adapters say that they loved Google because it gave them relevant results and because they discovered new websites on Google. Nowadays they "discover" SEO spam, ads and the usual suspects like the most popular sites in that search category.

That's why we need "discovery engine" for Web, something like TikTok but adapted to Web. If search engines were the evolution of web directories, we need to think about how we can evolve search engines.
Its odd to me how normal it has become for some white folks to through up their hands in outrage and disgust, crying racism and discrimination at the slightest mention of anything relating to race or culture.

Not saying I agree with the article or anyone in this thread,(though after reading the excerpt the parent is upset about I think I do agree with the the article) just that this has become rather common and predictable. Is this what people mean when they talk about white fragility? I dont know.
The French do not usually realise how good they have it.

Income tax depends on number of children.

Nursery fees depend on income.

I believe cost of school meals depend on income.

Child benefits payments. I think this is now based on income but it used not to be.

Cash payment at beginning of school year to help pay for school stuff, etc. though I think this is also depending on income.

So sure lower earners benefit more but everyone gets something.

Many countries would think this is very good.

I am French and I moved to the UK a long time ago. My income tax actually went up. In the UK income tax depends on... income. Your children are irrelevant.

On the contrary, all we have to do is educate business leaders to show them that the gains are illusory because AGI will wipe us out. Working on AGI is like the story of the recent DOOM games where the foolish Union Aerospace Corporation is researching how to permanently open a gate to Hell through which to summon powerful entities and seemingly unlimited free "clean" energy. Obviously, this turns out to be stupid when Hell's forces rip the portal wide open into a full-fledged dimensional rift and attempt to drag our entire world into Hell. Working on AGI has the exact same level of perceived gains vs actual gains..

I've noticed that all new fast-food buildings (McDonalds, Wendy's, Taco Bell, etc.) all look very similar. I don't know the name for it, but square/rectangle with vertical "wood" planks outside, sparse interior with touchscreens and no registers inside. It seems designed to be as bland and uninspiring as possible. I suspect this "design" motif is due to focus groups and boardrooms though.

Yes, yes you did. Plus I edited my comment to elaborate more on why I disagree with your comment.

I could have bought, say, a Tesla with cash for just what our three kids cost in medical expenses for their first five years of life. And ours weren’t that expensive.

I could take a $4k trip to Japan every year for the next 20 years and not approach childcare costs before they were in school.

Extra monthly housing costs for a good school district versus a more-conveniently-located and similarly-safe but worse-schools area nearby would cover the payment on a pretty damn good car.

US perspective (if you couldn’t tell from the reference to high healthcare costs) but still. Kids are crazy-expensive.

How much time is going to be wasted cleaning the data? It seems like AI can generate junk much faster than we could possibly filter it.
sort of. It's not really a binary yes or no on whether it's digested. Especially with seeds it's a little complicated because they have often evolved to survive digestion (especially where they spread by animals pooping them out in a physically different location than they originally grew). Some people can digest them better than others, but sprouting the seeds will cause them to morph from digestive-resistant seed form to nutrient-rich tiny plant, and make the nutrients more accessible to most people. It also (subjectively) improves the taste, which can be a nice bonus

You can sell it for cash money.

Caffeine and gensing have immediate onsets. You know in a small number of minutes whether you’ve had enough or too much. Vitamins usually have a wide range between enough to be useful and enough to harm you, although you’re crazy to take fat-soluble vitamins for a long period without telling your doctor and getting a blood test.

You generally have to take psych meds for quite a few days before determine their effect. If you take too little, you risk your mental health. Take too much? Have fun riding out Seratonin Syndrome!
if people were interchangeable cogs yeah sure, but they aren't. Not in some feel good "everyone is special" kind of way, but even if you had hypertwins (both genetically and experiencially identical) where they only difference was one was working for you for a year and the other wasn't. the one with experience AT YOUR COMPANY is worth a whole years salary more, because you'd have to train that new one for a year to get them operating at the same level.

But it's even worse than losing the salary though, because you can often find some money somewhere to replace that cost. You CANNOT do that with time, ever.

I used to feel this way and used LastPass, which did not end well.
Many (most?) craft brewers also skip this step. "Desirable" is in the eye of the beholder, and crucially, it saves effort/time/money to leave it in. You can even market it as "bottle conditioned," if you allow the final bit of fermentation to do the carbonation. (i.e. add a bit of sugar at the bottling step, rather than bottling carbonated beer.
I feel the best solution is to just levy a yearly tax based on the vehicle. The heavier the vehicle, the larger the tax. Heavier vehicles tend to wear the roads more. This will have a negative impact on electric vehicles as they tend to be heavier, but they can introduce a carveout until they get a larger percentage of adoption. It will also have the benefit of discouraging the giant mall crawlers that have become a scourge on American roads.

You see the same sort of thing at the other end. In something like Montessori, older children will make lunch for the younger children. Or in Japan, children will clean their classrooms at the end of each day. When I was in elementary in Calgary, the crossing guards were 3-student teams selected from volunteer students in grade 6. Instead, we dedicate paid adult labour to all of that.

I don't understand all the causes. Some is labour rights history (freeing children from the mills was a social victory), some is weird labour bargaining (a child doing a union job is a scab), and some is class anxiety from parents (only servants should wash a floor). Not to mention that given a choice, the young and old alike will chose free servants over doing their own chores.

For seniors, another cause is the novelty of mass retirement. North America was very young until recently, and we could afford to extend retirement benefits to people who'd never paid a dime in because there were so few of them.

My instincts are egalitarian, so I believe it doing for myself. Silver plate is for suckers, unless you like to cosplay as the help for an afternoon. But the world is full of people who just _must_ have servants.
Resolution is certainly a major factor in the scanning acuity. The browser scanning issue is somewhat paradoxical: getting a clear and high-resolution image of the barcode improves scan accuracy, but to achieve this, the camera needs to get so close to the barcode that the autofocus starts to freak out and blur the barcode. Since the browser scanner is using the browser camera API, there's no good mechanism to control the autofocus. It's enough to make you want to throw your phone in the garbage.
It's not an government agency. The post office is a completely private company.
Yes, I think this is a rather fact-specific inquiry. My main point is that the research/commercial distinction is not the only factor (and not even the most important one).

> if you use that data as general background knowledge to synthesize aggregative works such a history of the vietnam war, or trends in musical theatre in the 1980s relative the 1970s, or shifts in the language usage of formal honorifics, then that seems to me to be clearly fair-use categories

I don't think this is clear. If someone were to train a model on several books about the Vietnam War and then publish my own model-created book on history of the Vietnam War, I would be inclined to say that that is infringement. And if they changed the dataset to include a plurality of additional books which happen to not be about Vietnam, I don't think that changes the analysis substantially.

I think it is hard to earnestly claim that in that instance the output (setting aside the model itself, which is also a consideration) is transformative, and so I would think, absent more specific facts, that all four fair use factors are against it.

Everything you said is factual. Colombia - great it was a drop in the bucket, they speak the same language and integrate, and it still is a big albatross on society there. US - mass European immigration meant that people needed to learn english to integrate, same religion caused easier integration, etc.

It's not nearly 1:1 with the current situations in the US and Europe, respectively.

I'm just saying that mass immigration has effects on the country, the people, the economy/housing, the way of life, etc.

People should fully understand this and then vote accordingly. It's something to openly discuss and digest, not something to be swept under the rug or "downvoted".
> every word/category is arbitrary; words and word-logic only help us insofar as they tell us useful things about reality

haha, having useful meanings is the exact thing that makes word categories non-arbitrary.

Having different categories and words for food and poison is useful. The distinction is not arbitrary.

Similarly, the concept and definition of living/inanimate is not arbitrary. It defiantly tells us something useful.

You could say the exact definition of "living" isn't clear, but that doesn't mean every definition is equally good. For example, “things that are purple“, would be a pretty crappy definition of "living". It's not random or arbitrary. Thought and logic went into crafting the definition.
