But a lot of them are just poorly implemented. My engine stops when I stop but if I press the brake harder it starts up again...

I could see it go in the direction of Big Tobacco. Evidence comes out that they know there are harms but they don't care because they make more money.

The bigger problem is companies which don't share back and toxicity of users who think they are entitled to the maintainers time.

I don't think the commons is a good analogy. The open software ethos is to improve and re-share. Worst case the original project fades after a derived project is released but as long as the second project has a compatible license the "commons" can grow.

People complaining about rate limits is a sign they doubt the utility of it. If they wanted they could turn on pay as you go and keep using it paying (I'm assuming) a slightly better cost per token.

In this case I think it is a scary financial word evoking 2008. I don't see how this relates to poor quality debt.

I've said this before, but part of why I continue to be bleak on prospects of prompt war termination are because Iran has *very strong incentives* to continue pain infliction (against the US/Israel/GCC and the broader world) to deter a future war by credibly communicating the magnitude of costs.

Even in the cloud I'm sure "Medium Language Models" will be the long term winner. When I'm trying to fix an issue with a cable, why does the agent need to know about quantum physics or medicine?

DAIR even develops a lot of those types of tools to study social media harms. The lumping of so many things under the "AI" umbrella makes discourse about the specific things that are harmful vs useful difficult.

Homes being considered investment vehicles is a massive, underappreciated problem. You have a house because you need a house. It doesn't need to pad your networth.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.
