They need marketing because they have competition that essentially offers an identical product. Why should a consumer choose openai over anthropic or whatever else there is? The answer is not obvious.

I agree, I certainly can't comment on the legality of this license laundering but I would call them an asshole.

Considering the usage of LLMs by many people as a sort of friend or psychologist we also get to look forward to a new form a control over people. These things earn peoples "trust" and there is no reason why it couldn't be used to sway peoples opinions. Not to mention the devious and subtle ways it can advertise to people.

Also, these productivity gains arent used to reduce working time for the same number of people, but instead to reduce the number of people needed to do the same amount of work. Working people get to see the productivity benefits via worsening material conditions.

You seem to forget that most artists enjoy it but due to the structure of our society are forced to either give it up for most of their waking life to earn money or attempt to market their art to the masses to make money. This AI stuff only makes it harder for artists to make any kind of living off of their work.

I wish they would release a dc low power version. If it does any more than 22kbps than its already beating certus and that costs $7/mb for the devices we use them in.

I work for usv company. Most of the interest we receive for boats is either multibeam work or illegal fishing enforcement in marine protected areas. We nearly ended up doing some naval work but there was a large internal backlash and the contract was turned down.

We have lost candidates at my company which we had pretty much already decided were a fit after 1-2 interviews but we're still forced to go through the rigmarole of these extra interviews over several weeks. It's not just crazy it's also a waste of time and resources.

Ya their comment does not match up to my experience at all. When I update my lockfile it very rarely breaks and if it does I just roll back a commit and wait a day and it's usually fixed.

I feel this big time. I'm in the top 10% of income earners in Canada and yet me and my family are stuck in a small one bed apartment. We can't buy property as everything in the area would leave us very house poor, if we even qualify for the mortgage.

I've been writing C++ for 4 years now professionally. I don't claim to be some kind of god at it but what am I supposed to do? Leave it off my resume because I don't know every intricate detail? I've used it to get shit done and make a company money, everything else is fluff.

I felt your pain. I live in Victoria and also make $100k but can't afford much more than a 1 bed without destroying our savings goals. Unfortunately my current job is hybrid and they won't let me go full remote. We plan to leave as soon as I find a new opportunity - despite loving living here by every other metric.

I would say I work 4-6 hours per day. I rarely work more than 40 and make sure I make up that time if I ever do.

Not effected by layoffs - my company mostly runs of government money which appears to still be flowing.

Ai has saved me very little time so far. It's probably cost me work time as I ask it more non-work related stuff.

I have never used Alexa, hey google or whatever flavour you choose for more then "set a timer for x minutes" and other very basic tasks. It's amazing how terrible the voice assistant products are compared to chatgpt.
