Congratulations on the launch! I really hope it doesn't get used to launch misinformation campaigns against the country.

Are you aware of any effort to educate and fight against misinformation in Pakistan?

Such an ignorant thing to say for something that requires 25MB RAM.

Not sure what the size has to do with anything.

I send you a 500kb Windows .exe file and claim it runs literally everywhere.

Would it be ignorant to say anything against it because of its size?

Oh, no, you were not! The fact that it's way worse now, doesn't mean you had "great progress" before.

I think maybe Lina Khan was, but not the whole Biden administration.

I am not a heavy user of Claude in any way, sometimes I go days without using it. And I've hit the limit a week ago. Now with the limit changing to per week, I am 100% canceling my subscription. I'll likely spend a max of $5 using an API key.

> On Tea, you're rating, or rather sharing personal information about, an individual.

Or in this case, sharing personal information about yourself...

No, they'd be sharing the man's photo, name and phone number if I am not mistaken, and obviously without his consent.

Oh man... we here in the UK and EU look at the US with envy. Our governments are so inept to even understand basic economics (currently the UK is trying to tax itself to growth), whilst the US government is enabling their own people and US businesses to flourish in emerging markets like AI.

You're not serious are you?

Also, the US is taxing its own citizen via tarrifs. $100+ billion and counting

I believe this is the same story covered by Dark Diaries. Very interesting story. https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/84/

From the start of Israel’s assault on Gaza, the vast majority of Israelis haven’t shown any concern about the suffering in Gaza. Those who campaign for an end to the war do so purely as a means to secure the release of the hostages.
Bilal_io · 2 months ago
The civilians even blocked aid entering Gaza.
