or at the very least an estimated birth date. If people are claiming money, that's the very least they can provide.
strangely, that is exactly how the system works.

Yes, it also states: "[...] We should also remember that 85-90% of the most powerful cyber-threat intelligence lies in the hands of those other than the United States government, which brings me to a final point about partnerships: Not one of our past—or future—disruptions is possible without exceptional partnerships [...]."
I didn't expect so much honesty, I would have expected "We and only we are the greatest and best".
They are (subtly) saying cyber criminals are all from / in other countries.
I got to talk to one of the wealthiest apartment owners in my state a few years back. He gave me a lot of details of his financial formula, which was really interesting.
But one thing is found critical is that he always made sure his apartments were priced at the low end. He’d rather make sure they were all full all the time instead of dealing with volatility.
The man is hugely successful and they just named one of the colleges after him at my University.
It is very basic maths as well (that evades most small time landlords).
100% occupancy at 90% of the market price with high quality tenants makes you more money than 80% occupancy + agent advertising / finding fees at full market price with bad tenants.
everything bubble except gold , oil, and other commodities. Or treasuries. Right now the gains seem concentrated in AI and chips. Apple and Tesla have not participated at all this year.

Rules Based International Order, the rules just changed half way the game.
The rules are clear. There is one set for them and one set for us, we are afterall The Good Guys (tm)
I think you are seeing things from a bubble. Most people in the country are in favor of efforts to correct for historical injustices and are worried about AIs repeating biases in their training that could have a material impact on the world.
Case in point: large advertisers and entertainment companies "pander" to these sorts of views, because it is broadly popular
This is not the work of a shadowy cabal
I think you are seeing things from a bubble.
Most people in the country dont give a shit about historical injustices and are worried about how they are going to pay their rent or put food on the table today.
I really wonder what harm would come to the company if they didn't talk about safety?
Would investors stop giving them money? Would users sue that they now had PTSD after looking at all the 'unsafe' outputs? Would regulators step in and make laws banning this 'unsafe' AI?
What is it specifically that company management is worried about?
> What is it specifically that company management is worried about?
As with all hype techs, even the most talented management are barely literate in the product. When talking about their new trillion $ product they must take their talking points from the established literature and "fake it till they make it".
If the other big players say "billions of parameters" you chuck in as many as you can. If the buzz words are "tokens" you say we have lots of tokens. If the buzz words are "safety" you say we are super safe. You say them all and hope against hope that nobody asks a simple question you are not equipped to answer that will show you dont actually know what you are talking about.

This is the tragedy of plastic. It's so complicated and the benefits are so invisible that people can't weigh the pros and cons.
Plastic is incredibly complex, and the foundation of so many aspects of modern life that it's very difficult to take it all in.
> Plastic is the foundation of so many aspects of modern life
I genuinely can not think of a single product that only exists thanks to plastic.

One thing that is missing is the effect on output - do productivity improvements offset reduced hours?
I would also like to see a comparison between reducing days worked and hours worked per day, which is rarely mentioned.
From the original "experiment" https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/24/worlds-biggest-4-day-workwee...
The experiment uses a 100-80-100 model: workers get 100% of the pay for working 80% of the time in exchange for delivering 100% of their usual output.
Would only be assuming, however, given the success it would appear that it was achieved.
fwiw I do not think that I have encountered a "knowledge worker" who couldnt do 100% of their job in 80% of the time with minimal effort. Manual jobs / service jobs obviously different of course.
