Most of the world provides funding for research, the US used to provide funding but now that has been mostly gutted.

Good thing that is part of the wikipedia entry:

> Any piece of digital information is representable as a number; consequently, if communicating a specific set of information is illegal in some way, then the number may be illegal as well.

> The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim. ~ Edsger W. Dijkstra

LLMs / Generative Models can have a profound societal and economic impact without being intelligent. The obsession with intelligence only make their use haphazard and dangerous.

It is a good thing court of laws have established precedent that organizations deploying LLM chatbots are responsible for their output (Eg, Air Canada LLM chatbot promising a non-existent discount being responsibility of Air Canada)

Also most automation has been happening without LLMs/Generative Models. Things like better vision systems have had an enormous impact with industrial automation and QA.

It is not the only claim in the video.

There are at least the following claims:

- Inserts its own affiliate link (even when no discount is found, uses strategies to push for interaction like adding a dismiss/pay with paypal link that adds the affiliate association)

- Adds a very small kickback from the affiliate payment they receive as a rewards program. (Which, while scraps, makes content creators "lose" in economic terms in the affiliate offerings)

- Promises to consumers to find the best discounts available

- Promises to vendors to allow control of the discounts offered and the offer rate of said discounts

- Previous both promises are contradictory yet simultaneously offered

- An extra/upcoming claim around forcing non-affiliated stores to affiliate.

> we need to intercept cocky executives before they incriminate themselves in media res.

Please don't, just let them.

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

> 4. Rewarding employees who make value for the business and think like founders/equity owners, not employees.

That is simple to do but not something many companies want to do. Just give employees equity via mutualisation. (Real ownership not discourse ownership)

I thought that non-governmental business association was pro-competition; guess not.

Edit: it was a dig to the pro-competition façade some pro-business people put forward.

Repugnant imperialista thought; political reforms on a foreign government?

Take out the stick like in Latin America and the Middle East?

Laughable from the country that proclaims itself "leader of the free world"

Aren't you thinking about Twitter/X and Facebook/Meta?
