Semi-randomly

A more correct term is constrained randomness. You’re still looking at probability distribution functions, but they’re more complex than just a throw of the dice.

You’re using nominal rather than inflation-adjusted numbers. That’s misleading.

One Big Union!

At very least, adopting the German model of having union reps on the board of directors would be a sensible step.

And average corporate profitability isn’t much different than it was in the late '70s. So that means the CEOs are being massively overpaid, and there’s a weakness in corporate governance that prevents shareholders correcting the problem.

My dad’s '57 Cadillac Fleetwood had that too. Big-ass electric eye on the dashboard. So it’s not exactly bleeding-edge technology.

Yeah, color temp should be regulated as well as lumens and directionality.

He can tell the userrs to inject bleach for popcorn lung.

2FA where one of the factors is Bluetooth to the fob might be OK, assuming the Bluetooth link is secured in some way.

It’s not a thing a car should require, and even for nice-to-have value-add features, it should be tightly secured, not only from external access but from the manufacturer.

The comical part was that anyone could go through a completely vanilla registration workflow and become a registered dealer. What the hell were they thinking?

Too bad he was too decent to name the place. Any retribution that might happen is richly deserved.

You don’t have to care about AI safety when you’re unconcerned over civilian casualties and false positives.

That’s how it should work but not how it works.

It’s more like an open-source project going closed-source. They can do that at any time.

Open source products, back in the day, competed against the giant corporations of their time, which spent vast sums on R&D, and yet succeeded. That’s because massive organizations lack agility, suck at innovation and fail to inspire people with real talent. They might make a few prestige hires here and there, but who wants to work for Microsoft or for a greedhead VC tech bro, even if it means a big payday? And there are more ethical organizations around that are not controlled by Altman or other greedhead tech bros like Zuckerberg.

Sociopaths and toxic narcissists comprise only a small percentage of the population, and most of them lack even rudimentary business acumen. I don’t advocate your hypothetical strategy, but if it were sustained, they would eventually run out of those categories of sleazeballs.

“Open” could also mean open publication of papers, open standards for APIs, or (most likely) Altman’s grabby hand always being open for for money.

“Open” doesn’t imply “non-profit.” In fact, it doesn’t imply much of anything In that way it’s like “Active” or “Direct” which are or were used as parts of a number of Microsoft product names.

Everyone with a clue should quit and go over to Anthropic.

The goal is torture.
