What a weird obsession.

A lot of them have rules forcing them to have some amount of exposure to indexes of a market, or all entries in a market.

There are MAJOR rule changes made to allow them to do this (90 day wait-time reduced to 5 days, financial stability requirements lowered or removed), which is why automated rules like that were created ("oh, if they make it to X, they were already vetted for Y, Z").

A lot of people are throwing a lot of trust and reputation on the bonfire to make this happen.

Archive.is has some kind of phone tracking CAPTCHA.

So now what, a phone is proof of humanity? How is that not defeated by botfarms in an hour, alongside tracking you, as well as a horrible UX?

I hate modern surveillance capitalism.

No.

How about measuring the political bias in base reality?

So, a lot of 'seems' rather than 'is.' They are training this to be non-offensive, based on some weird moral / media takes that shift year to year, political cycle to political cycle to political cycle. Not for bring forthright and fact based.

Wow. This would be 'meh' if it was some weird individual. This is a 'whitehouse.gov' domain. This our our the Trump Administration folks. Acting like immature 13 year old, and making jokes no one under 40. And doing it using federal resources to do political party activities.

After decades of 'proprietary, respect, professionalism', this kind of childishness is just gross and embarrassing.

This is a false dichotomy presented to people. By framing this as 'Giant government, or giant business?" you are going to get crap answers.

None of these are one size fits all solutions, and there should be a mix. We have a working patch-work of laws in physical space, for a reason. It allow flexibility, and adjustments as we go, as the world changes. We should extended that to virtual space as well.

Age / Content Labeling and opt-in/ opt-out for some content. Outright ban on other kinds of content. A similar "I sue when you abuse my content" for copyright, impersonation, etc.

One size does not fit all, and is not how the real world works. Online shouldn't work much differently.

Great, please apply this to yourself, and livestream all of the time, leave the rest of us out of this.

People don't have one standard of behavior. I won't tell my kid jokes, I tell my wife. I won't complain about people in public, the way I vent to my sister (who gets it is just me venting, not how I feel all the time". I am not going to speak to a cop as I'm getting a speeding ticket, they way I will talk to one who is harassing a friend at a parade.

I won't talk to / about a co-worker in a meeting, the way I talk to someone he just (rightly, but very meanly) chewed out, and who needs a boss who listens, or will I talk to him in a meeting the way I will (a tad later) chew him out for making a coworker cry.

This take is so naive and emotionally / socially unintelligent about human behavior in various situations.

This is the fascist dream. Who defines 'Best Behavior?' Whoever owns the cameras, and the cops.

Criticize the president? Not best behavior. Kiss someone of your sex/gender? Not best behavior. Call AI stupid? Not best behavior. Whistleblower on out a deadly chemical leak? Not best behavior. Disagree with a politician? Not best behavior. Defined LGBTQ+ people's rights? Not best behavior. Criticize Isreal ? Not best behavior.

They are going to define "best behavior" in a way that never threatens their feelings, let alone threatens their powers, if you let them.

"This article is like saying an apartment complex isn’t “losing money” because the monthly rents cover operating costs but ignoring the cost of the building. Most real estate developments go bust because the developers can’t pay the mortgage payment, not because they’re negative on operating costs."

Exactly the analogy I was going to make. :)

I read all the articles. I didn't see any mentioning red tape, or regulations.* All that talk of 'regulations' and 'red tape' is a guess.

This stink of a "Low priority project use as a place-holder, but as soon as even a mouse-sneeze comes up, the resources are put to a better used, and it is kicked down the road"

But (as you say) we are all pre-trained to assume 'red tape / regulations' so we back-fill that explanation, even with no evidence.

*(I Wouldn't mind a second reader, read them fast and searched, may have missed something.)

Folks; Yeah this is a run of the mill dead low-priority project. It happens in private industry, capitalism, communism, the roman empire, etc. Only because government is out in the open, it is easy to see.

I don't have proof, but this stinks of 'Failed project used as a place-holder for schedule slop'. I see is so so so many places.

Somebody, or a lot of somebodies knows this [Refactor AIP / Electric Charge Lot] is not a good idea. Instead of saying 'It's dead' it gets used as a buffer in the project plan. Oh it's there, and if things are every slow enough, it will happen. But even a mouse sneeze will move it out a year, to make budget [time, or $$$ ] for something useful.

Once a year the [ boss / newspaper] will ask "Oh what about, [refactor / Parking Lot]' and somewhere points to the start and end date on the chart. But it's not a priority, and is a placeholder job that gets bumped and shifted for priority work.

It is all over the place, since time began. WWII had it. The Revolutionary War had it. Ford has it. Roman Empire had it. Lockheed Martin has it. Hell, your own house projects have it.

This is just 'A dead project is a placeholder since the org is bad at planning.' It is everywhere.

God. This isn't AI. None of this is AI. This is dumb sketchy LLM, and the fact that they are destroying the term 'AI' bu building things well short of it, and lying about it, makes me sad.

These comments are such an amazing show of very knowledgable and wise people, and complete moppets that have no clue, and can't stop playing expert on things they have no clue on.
