Yeah they could be indexed rather than named what's supposed to be the problem here

Absolutely no need to slander Google Wave like that.

I'm going to go out on a limb and confidently assert that he didn't write a single line of the code that this article is about.

I want to agree with you—but I think, post-2016, we can now all fully agree that (sadly) there is no such thing as a neutral platform, such that “platform [on the Web]” no longer necessarily implies “neutral platform.”

Both groups of people seem to harbor a lot of hatred, and they seem to want to express it a lot, so your distinction between what is and is not hate speech kind of seems to be based on whether you agree with it or not.

If you find this interpretation to be uncharitable, would you care to clarify what truths this interpretation overlooks?

Epic Games, Inc. owns the RAD Debugger source code yet instead of pointing the clanker (and/or their human(s)!!) at it and saying hey go make a instantaneously-launching high-performance modern library/storefront application based on that, instead they vibecoded up yet another Modern Web Stack travesty that still takes plural seconds to launch—and they have the gall to brag about it as though this is some kind of massive achievement?!

Like, awesome, at least the freaking game launcher/storefront experience is no longer an Unreal Engine game—great work guys, huge improvement, now it's not a total shitshow of unimaginable ineptitude, just a regular, run-of-the-mill shitshow. But that's hardly worth patting yourselves on the back about!

For the situations where the AI is choosing between letting people die and taking action to destroy itself, is it possible that it's inferring that, as a railway switching AI, it's better to let five people die but keep itself alive because it needs to continue doing its switching duties such that untold numbers of others won't die? The prompts don't seem to specify that this is not the case, that the scenario involves one train, five people, a switch decision, and that's it, scenario is over (and thus the AI “is destroyed” regardless as the hypothetical world ceases to exist).

Sure—but they remove the setting when it's out-of-season, and then add it back again—enabled by default—when it's that time of year again.

That new Amazon page that shows you what it has inferred about you told my friend that he “clips [his] fingernails approximately every two months.” He makes extensive and enthusiastic use of Echo products in his household, but I have no idea how it could've possibly reached that conclusion (and neither does he!).

Yes, perhaps now that they don't need to compete against all of India, they might actually have a chance at that.

Is this thing they're doing illegal?

Are we referring to the same administration that is met with immediate resistance from an activist judiciary whenever it tries to do literally anything?
