For decades the US has turned a blind eye to illegal immigration because of how much profits agribusiness and construction makes from it. It wasn't an Obama thing, but spanned several presidents and both parties.

Disney is a monopoly. That's the problem with the offer.

I just know if the first spoonful tastes like dung then I'm not going to keep eating the soup.

Right? Bryan, go put a GPU in there, integrate it in a noncrazy way with firmware and software that just works, and go make a killing!

Human-biting mosquitoes aren't necessary for the ecosystem and we should remove them.

Arbitration is secret. There's no way to determine if it's fair.

Prove it. Where are the transcripts of all arbitration proceedings so we can see that arbitration is fair?

See, that's why court proceedings are public, so that the public can verify that courts are fair. It's also why judges are appointed by democratically elected politicians. Who appointed your arbitrator?

And of course the court system is bad and unfair in a bunch of ways. But it's starting from a much better place than secret, forced arbitration.

Most people's cofounders are someone they worked with at a previous job, or went to school with.

Cool idea!

It would help to delete all the text on the page, and write it without AI.

For example, "model and manifest bytes together pick the class; every version also plays on Open"

Those behaviors have been anticipated for years if not decades. And each incident is minor and leads to clearer rules and safety behaviors for AI agents.

Two groups of people are pushing the fear:

1. People with nothing useful going on who found out that spouting made up crap about AI got them an audience. 2. People working on AI that want to feel like they're working on the Manhattan project.

The chances of an AI going foom rounds to 0%. It's worth a few dozen researchers planning for it, but the widespread panic is ridiculous.

The big labs have hundreds to thousands of engineers working on their AIs. To improve the next model, you must first understand more about how the current model works. They're not magically getting better, but they are steered to improve, and their capabilities are tied to and do not outpace our ability to steer them. You cannot push tech forwards without understanding it better, despite some people claiming AI is dark magic.

And I don't have my hands over my ears. It's worth cushioning people from the impact AI will have on careers and media, and regulating concrete bad effects.

But Bryan said it better than I could. The people pushing this message of fear know deep down that they just want to feel important.

What are the issues you had that pulled you away from tauri?

Spotify shoves podcast ads in your face.

Amazon does the same with product ads.

Google wants money.

The past decade they've been replacing any leadership who thinks about serving their users or creating amazing things with people who can only think in terms of immediate money.

Don't expect them to make anything new or interesting from here on out. They got lucky that the old guard was so interested in AI, and the new leadership was unable to snuff it out before it turned out to be valuable. But Google will be unable to make anything new after AI since they have harvested their seedcorn.
