Pretty sure banks get audited to prevent this exact scenario from happening.
I guess you can call your bank a crypto bank, and skip the audits.

The perceived hypocrisy sort of goes away when you stop thinking about it as a collaboration or a community of equals, and instead think of it as a competition, which is what it is. You would not say of a football team "oh, it's okay for you to try to score a goal on me, but if I try to score a goal on you, suddenly you're blocking the ball?!"
Naturally, they're going to say "web scraping uses resources, stop it!" but then keep web scraping in the background.
To be clear, it's bad behavior, it's just not hypocritical behavior, as it's completely in keeping with what amoral corporations locked in constant battle would be expected to do: maximize benefits to themselves while minimizing benefits to others.
The problem is as this article points out is democratically elected courts should not be choosing winners in a capitalistic competition
WFH is here to stay. If you look at which companies are mandating office returns it’s the large and old incumbents. The young companies and startups are investing in remote and global workforces. In a few decades time these companies will replace the dinosaurs of today. There is reason to be optimistic about long term remote work.
Correct take, Infact I would argue enforcing work in the office probably accelerates the current tech oligopoly guard in their transformation into IBM like businesses
>were made to pay for their actions
...which were being handed out without due process. Everyone is afforded due process - murderers, rapists, and yes even racists.
Exactly, this was the scary part for me. First time I've ever seen a public emotional frenzy escalate to a point where the majority agreed to suspend due process, for things that could have been prosecuted normally
> 1. The author is bad at prompting. There are many ways to reduce hallucinations and provoke better thinking paths for the model.
Does "Provoke better thinking paths" mean re-rolling the dice until you find some hack specific to chatGPT that 'just works' or is there something more rigorous behind this?
Seriously this is the part I dont understand about people parroting "prompt engineering" . Isn't it really just throwing random things at a non deterministic black box and hoping for the best?
As a Canadian who moved to the US for tech, I strongly advocate for any young Canadian with capable means who is reading this to leave Canada.
An already broken system is being stacked against you
Housing prices are more expensive in Canada. Health care systems are crumbling within Canada. Wages are lower in Canada. General cost of living is more expensive in Canada
I was frankly shocked after a lifetime of watching CBC just how much my quality of life improved by moving to the USA.

> At 3500 this will be niche at best.
The original 128k Macintosh was $2,495 in 1984--that's $6,244.14 in todays (2023) dollars, just to put things in perspective.
Obviously there will be less expensive models to come; this is just the start. This will be mostly for early adopters and developers.
People are poorer today on an inflation adjusted basis
This position ("I don't use the website, therefore it's not important") is puzzling. There is objective data, after all, SimilarWeb estimations, for example:
https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/ (worldwide)
1. google.com 83.9B visits (~ user sessions, per Apr)
2. youtube.com 32.7B visits
3. facebook.com 16.8B visits
4. twitter.com 6.4B visits
5. instagram.com 6.3B visits
I think these days top apps would be a better gauge of relevance, for which twitter ranks much lower
