Very carefully

What do you mean “but still…”? It’s a pretty important distinction. Meta does indeed use their massive GPU farms to train models and then release the weights for free and people indeed run inference on prosumer hardware

The information that person X owns Y shares is private cap table info. Carta breached that privacy by using it for lead generation

I think a rough analogy would be:

You’re a startup who keeps a payroll spreadsheet in Google Sheets and the Google recruiting team accesses that data to recruit your employees and decide how much to offer them.

There’s nothing wrong with Google trying to hire your employees, but it’s wrong for them to use your confidential data from another business unit to do so.

Don’t forget the guy who can’t make up his mind so he tries to be both a food snob and the voice of the people at the same time

You might say the same thing about doing research in general

It’s fun and I don’t care about censorship. Also there are no ads (for now)

Generative AI is almost always a service problem. If a model can offer customized art instantly 24/7 for free but the artist says you have to wait 3 months and it’ll cost 500 dollars and I only accept PayPal, then the model’s service is more valuable.

The chart shows child pedestrian deaths went from 1632 to 144. So a tenfold decrease. No idea about the stats on child pedestrianship but I’d be surprised if it was down 10 fold.

It’s also facially absurd to anyone uses Reddit beyond scrolling the front page.

Some malicious actor is fabricating 100 comments a day about the nitty gritty of the New York Times crossword?

Damage control?

It’s an interesting line of thought, but I don’t think it really works as stated. Even if Meta thinks trump has a 10% chance of winning, it makes sense to cozy up to him in ambiguous and deniable ways.

No. It’s illegal to fix a sanctioned boxing match. Both in the sense of being against the rules of the entity putting on the match, and in the sense of violating the law.

Wrestling is a different beast but boxing is heavily regulated in the US

Just want to add another voice in favor of OP. They have explained this extremely clearly, it’s hard for me to imagine demanding more

Nothing really, but are we even talking about anyone in particular? I’m not sure OP’s vague recollections have the wherewithal to defend themselves
