> Anthropic serves an expensive product to rich people. We are glad they do that and we are doing that too, but we also feel strongly that we need to bring AI to billions of people who can’t pay for subscriptions.

This is a glaring admission ChatGPT is a poor man's Claude in the literal sense.

Taiwan is already independent. Surely the normal way to refer to it would be as coming out against assimilation with mainland China?

The official position of Taiwan (Republic of China) and the People's Republic of China is that they're rival governments of the same China.

The Taiwanese government has never formally declared itself independent from the mainland. Such a declaration would likely cause the PRC to invade.

> On one hand, you have Microsoft's (awful) Copilot integration for Excel (in fairness, the Gemini integration in Google Sheets is also bad). So you can imagine financial directors trying to use it and it making a complete mess of the most simple tasks and never touching it again.

Microsoft has spent 30 years designing the most contrived XML-based format for Excel/Word/Powerpoint documents, so that it cannot be parsed except by very complicated bespoke applications with hundreds of developers involved.

Now, it's impossible to export any of those documents into plain text that an LLM can understand, and Microsoft Copilot literally doesn't work no matter how much money they throw at it. My company is now migrating Word documents to Markdown because they're seeing how powerful AI is.

This is karmic justice imo.

There isn’t one “they”, each subreddit does its own moderation

There are still networks that ban users for posting on /r/Israel and /r/Jewish. Famously the ones that run /r/interestingasfuck, /r/therewasanattempt, /r/soccer. /r/bannedforbeingjewish tracked this until it was banned.
