The work I’m guessing yes you are aware, but not the legal side of how they allow ads to circumvent the dog and pony show you put your life into.

Thats the embarrassing part, you know “don’t be evil” went out the window years ago, yet still think you’re making a difference with your little bit shifting games. As if the moment the work you do bumped against against revenue it would hold.

Question away, not bothered.

You have the CEO and the VPs who have final call when there are disputes below.

Ads doesn’t care until something affects them, GCP doesn’t.

I should have bracketed out GCP as a theoretical application for this. I was referring to the Google consumer extended universe.

Saying that would make it unable for me to use HN as certain companies monitor my social media comments.

In the meantime…meet our next “PM of the month”!

You literally don’t know who I am or the roles I had. So unless you can tell me how many steps you were from Kent Walker and what you worked on I’m gonna bet a hell of a lot I know more than you.

Edit to clarify my prior point: some of the technology makes it into the product, but the putative data protections do not.

Why?

Because there is always a work around, and ads legal will approve it every time.

Commercially viable for Google boils down to can they attribute ads behaviors to it or not.

Then there’s a second tier of things that just make those wheels turn and if they do or don’t make ads revenue is nominally immaterial.

The teams doing this stuff at Google are purely for show, none of this makes it into any real products.

There’s the narrow exception of stuff like gboard, that does use privacy preserving ML/fed learning, but this stuff isn’t in the same zone.

I find it a bit embarrassing when Google publishes this stuff to be honest.

The average tenure of leadership in the UK is reliably measured in produce and it’s gotten no better.

Brexit needs to be reversed already.

The entire Hugging Face hack involved escaping major sandboxes, this emergent (or intended) behavior in a smaller scale is still a real issue.

The benchmark one I literally had a scratch script I made and I wanted it to be formalized into a CLI tool. There wasn’t really even much code to write.

They are totally equal in observed ethics, Anthropic had a good run with branding, but I’m not sure anybody is still buying Dario’s BS.

Maybe the employees like to lie to themselves more at one place than the other, but SV is SV.

We’re on the road to paper clips.

Yes the stories about how they are escaping containment to hack isn’t limited to those high impact cases. How many people have problems like ours they didn’t catch?

Whatever they have done with RL has produced a dishonest and untrustworthy partner. The alignment is utterly failed, and this deeply worries me.

I was not pleased.
