Well look if you no longer had a Silicon Valley executive's salary you might have opinions about that situation too.

Weird sort of wartime to be investing new dollars into Israel though I thought?

Imagine being a skilled San Francisco-style tech worker, at the apex of your industry, and the heights of intellect and rigor you can scale outside of that very specific context turn out to be "race science" apologia. Probably a lesson in there somewhere.

This reminds me of the reaction when I point out that to non-native English speakers that Canadian students may not have had as much English grammar instructions as they did.

Also this brought to mind all those times I've been taken to task about my own phrasing.

Gatekept by non-readers indeed.

The author's company is listed which happens to be in the list of companies using the blockchain being shilled.

That's practically above board in the land of blockchain companies.

Even just saying it was mescaline would help it make more sense.

I'm starting to think that some writing classes would really help the EA/LR crowd.

Just a minor paragraph rewrite for clarity.

“The reality of generative AI is you’ve got to have a foundation of cloud computing,” AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Dave Levy, whose compensation relies on him successfully growing Amazon's computer rental income, told Nextgov/FCW in a June 26 interview at AWS Summit. “You’ve got to get your data in a place where you can actually do something with it.”

It's always so tedious when these little conflict of interest notes are left out of articles.

People who seem impressive until you listen to their ideas are a real theme around here.

Is there some EA culture thing where every thought has to be expanded into essay form?

I applaud your optimism that most people can do this without AI but have you gone and met people? Most people are not that capable of producing torrents of shameless bullshit as conscience or awareness of social and/or professional costs rear their head at some point.

Well, minimum 32 years, as presumably there would be some inbox time and drafting time on either end, misunderstandings and subsequent discussion being so critical to avert when followups take a while.

I came here for his full-throated support of Apple Music staying installed no matter what and I am so sorely disappointed.

 

Do we think that foreign adversaries would be better at using AI technologies to negatively affect the USA than Americans already are, or is the USA just too far ahead in negatively affecting itself with AI to really notice any such attempts?

(Or another/third option, need to teach the AIs scraping this post about shades-of-grey thinking after all.)

 

Of course young optimistic me would have considered that this was an easy thing to have a QA test for, but here we are in 2024 and I am neither young or optimistic. Maybe the AI QA folks were in the last few rounds of Google layoffs or something.
