Yep. The reality is that big tech companies had great talent initially but over the years became bloated and lost, like all mega corp do. But also they still made a lot of money because their advantages are too great for competition to work fairly. So mistakes don’t hurt them.
Now it’s being acknowledged that these companies were either wasteful, or investing in bad ideas, or just getting talent out of the market where other companies could hire them. Either way, I suspect we will see more AI connected press releases for what’s just boring old late stage capitalism type cost cutting.
You are getting the warning because the credentials they use use to encrypt traffic is expired, which in and of itself doesn't really have any repercussions. They expire to reduce the time an entity has to brute force an key, and to minimize the time that revoked credentials could be used on a device that hasn't checked for updates. Neither of those are likely to be a problem here, especially since it's a static web page that doesn't collect any user data, so the worst case scenario is that if there were no security, a man-in-the-middle could tell which links you clicked on, but nothing more.
Not just business red tape but also daily frustrations in life. Colorado has adopted speed camera safetyism culture. Instead of fixing real problems they’re working on revenue generation and surveillance disguised as public safety schemes.
On the topic of AI regulations specifically, I feel like many of these amount to basically restricting speech. Unless you adhere to state ideology, there’ll be trouble.
I guess Boeing doesn’t have leverage over China to force them to cooperate with the investigation? They need the China business as much as China needs their planes?
I don't think it is because of the business aspect; Boeing in any investigation won't have leverage as the investigations are run by the local equivalents on the NTSB. To the extent there is any leverage, it's the NTSB that might have it, but it would be informal. The Chinese government is stonewalling this because they deem it politically inconvenient/embarrassing that they had a pilot suicide/murder take place. For instance see also https://admiralcloudberg.medium.com/the-crash-of-egyptair-fl... for the story of EgyptAir 990.
This has happened to many vendors who do business with Amazon. They try to strong arm you or entice you, to be part of anti competitive schemes. Like if you don’t place enough inventory with them (instead of Amazon’s competitors), they mistreat and bully you.
Meh. Most professors have little interest in teaching, and their lectures are sloppy to begin with. If they’re disturbed, they should do a better job such that any alternative isn’t actually preferred by students.
oh come on, start in the actual rational business logic here: They're, once again, stealing peoples creative work and using it in a way that will be presented as if they've given it their blessing.
I absolutely do not understand how all these rational people rationalize away both laws and humanity.
I would expect that ruling to be overturned at some point. AI is going to be how people work. And saying it can the copyrighted is going to look increasingly absurd, like saying anything produced with Adobe tools can’t be copyrighted.
I actually agree with you. Between lobbying from the AI companies, artists when they realize it's a tool they can use to enhance their own work, and probably the movie makers themselves when the realize how much their own people want to use it, it will either be overturned or the laws will be much clearer.
The Oscars and Hollywood are already quite irrelevant. Looking down on AI and its potential to produce better entertainment is just a sign that they’re scared of its potential.
