What's passive about it?

I think he's picturing it as being used by employer's to monitor employees.

I don't think these are the same. Outlawing CSAM gives law enforcement the ability to shutdown markets and prevent commercial distribution of CSAM. Sexually abusing children is heinous, but sexually abusing children for financial gain is even worse.

Sounds like they wanted the people and not the product they were developing.

Seems like you could run a long perforated tube to diminish that effect.

Usually you talk to them and then you remember who they are or where you know them from.

It's not like you can't tell your wife apart from your orthodontist.

Having the controller is still nice. It's relatively user friendly, and consolidates all the devices and their interfaces under a single UI.

I think they probably had the section header link back to their webpage, or something similar to that. This is not a well-written rant.

If you think about it, the production quality is probably log-linear, so the token growth may well be exponential.

From what I've read, that's already part of their training. They are scored based on each step of their reasoning and not just their solution. I don't know if it's still the case, but for the early reasoning models, the "reasoning" output was more of a GUI feature to entertain the user than an actual explanation of the steps being followed.

Gerrymandering already exists. Voter suppression was huge in the past, and may become huge again. The supreme court made sure of that.

And also... the supreme court keeps issuing partisan decisions.

So... what is left? Number 3?

I guess you're arguing that federalism protects people, but how does it do that in a way that isn't already being eroded?

I work for state government. We've used the ACS survey to try and determine whether we were unfairly targeting non-native English speakers with some of our decisions. It's also used a lot in academia.

If I had to guess, commercial organizations have access to more invasive and higher quality data that they obtain through credit card companies, lexus-nexus or other data brokers. This attitude mostly harms organizations involved in the social sciences.
