Well, I guess people who decided to buy property in high risk areas are going to need to face the music. But I am sure they will get a bail out like every companies do. God forbid anyone besides the poor face any consequences for their poor decisions.
This is terrible, no one should be shooting at another vehicle ever. Hope the satisfaction he gained from sending a rude gesture to another driver was worth his partner’s death.
My gf gestures at other drivers while I’m driving. I’m just, please, stop that. I’m not upset enough to gesture or yell at people and I sure don’t need her to do it for me, and some people are genuinely insane and also very dumb. It’s not worth it.
I’m not seeing the issue here. The protections for approrptate child working conditions remain in place. It just eliminates the need to make a special application for every single worker.
I started refereeing soccer games at age 14 and didn’t have to go through any of that process. It was a great learning experience for me and gave me some spending money. I’m all for reducing the burden of hiring kids so that they can get exposure to the working world.
To be clear, I still very much think that there need to be strong protections for work hours, working conditions, and not being permitted to work in certain industries.
It must be nice to see children as an exploitable resource. And in classic conservative posturing you equate child labour with refereeing soccer games at age 14. Must be nice to look back and have such pleasant memories. I doubt these kids will be so wistful about industrialised farming, chicken preparation or other sweatshop jobs. I’m pretty certain you don’t even see these kids.
At 14 you had the support of your parents and a safety net of laws that made it so their oversight was baked into your employment. Lots of kids are poor and have families who can’t offer the sort of support and financial security you enjoyed.
That isn’t what I said and you know it. If you feel misunderstood the onus is solely on you to clarify any misunderstanding. Pretending that you’re making this about me isn’t going to change your bad take or initial downvotes.
Children are not just an exploitable resource, they are a renewable one!
But yeah. I was one of those 14 year olds working jobs that were meant for adults. I don’t really have strong opinions about this law change but I am in the position that my kids will never have to do what I had to do as a teen.
Do… do you really think Hunter Biden, the president’s adult son, just hangs out at the white house, one of the most heavily surveiled places on earth, just doing coke?
It also matters because people still believe the Russian narrative that’s been debunked, and have been shown to be paid for by Hillary Clinton and carried out by the FBI.
i think what the previous dude said is, people wouldn’t not have resorted to use scrapping if there was a good api. one of the major reason people/organisations choose scrapping is because it’s better than paying insane amounts of money for insane(ly low)amount of api calls.
There was a good API before Elon essentially shut it down. But that is irrelevant.
The reason mass data scraping like OpenAI does would not rely on an API is because they are getting data from the entire Internet (and other sources that aren’t online). They want raw data and they want as much and as varied as possible. It’s much easier, cheaper and practical to build tools that scrape websites generically than to integrate with thousands of completely independent and different APIs.
It’s the same reason that Reddit complaining about “AI taking all of our data” is bullshit. “AI” is just a convenient excuse and the most recent tech buzzword.
They are largely mad because of how effective the AI is. If data was being used just to improve Swype for texting people would care less. I care more about artists’ complaints about getting replaced than big tech companies complaining that content they didn’t create is being used to create things.
Also I decided to read openAI’s GPT2 paper and they were pretty clear about their created dataset:
“Instead, we created a new web scrape which emphasizes document quality. To do this we only scraped web pages which have been curated/filtered by humans. Manually filtering a full web scrape would be exceptionally expensive so as a starting point, we scraped all outbound links from Reddit, a social media platform, which received at least 3 karma. This can be thought of as a heuristic indicator for whether other users found the link interesting, educational, or just funny.
The resulting dataset, WebText, contains the text subset of these 45 million links.”
That’s a nice sized dataset from real people that’s already somewhat filtered by quality. They were totally scraping Reddit very specifically and now that people see it’s effective, anyone else who wants to make their own chatgpt or wants to improve their models will do the same.
scraping the outbound links is very different than all of the user comments, which would put more load on Reddit’s servers and also be easier to claim “belongs” to Reddit (it doesn’t but they argue otherwise)
this shows that OpenAI was not using, let alone abusing, Reddit’s API as claimed
Wait, what if this is just a massive misunderstanding?
It could be the Kentucky Konnected Kommunity? A service that just happens to share the same unfortunate… Wait no, it’s just a bunch of backwards racist snowflakes? Oh well.
We all know that their browser history is completely full of jungle fever. I hope some day they embrace it fully.
Don’t know about anyone else but I no longer shop at regular supermarkets for most of my food. It’s mostly Aldi and home prepared meals for us now. We are pretty well off financially but I refuse to pay outrageous amounts for big brand products any longer. I’d rather save the money and use it on a nice family vacation.
Aldi’s decision to change all of the lanes to self checkouts at the stores around me has really turned me off. I thought they would be one of the last bastions against self checkouts. The workers there were well paid and happy. I don’t really know where to shop for groceries with a conscience anymore.
