Maybe regulators can be bothered this decade to do something about these corporations abusing their power over mobile app distribution and payment processing.

The EU's DMA has been a step in the right direction, even if it's yet been fairly toothless with Apple and Google flouting it.


They could be bothered if they weren't indirectly (or directly, I imagine) on the dole.


For [0], it was supposedly shown to do it when specifically prompted to do so.

Despite agentic tools being used by millions of developers now, I am not aware of a single real case where accidental reproduction of copyrightable code has been an issue.

Further, some model providers offer indemnity clauses.

It seems like a non-issue to me, practically.


So far I have not let AI work with git, because I preferred handling version control myself.

Does it work well for resolving merge conflicts in your experience?


In my experience, yes. It has done a great job of choosing which changes should be integrated based on context in the repo, too.


Not the person you responded too, but in my experience the answer is a big yes.


That has been implemented 10 years ago:

  git worktree add -b feature-2 ../feature-2


I don't see a comment in this thread concretely discussing said unethical things.

Not sure why you felt the need to switch the topic to Grok. About its nudification incident, it seems a bit far stretched to say that malicious actors bypassing its safety controls was not an accident.

Initially, the image features were restricted to paying subscribers to prevent abuse by anonymous actors; this obviously happened while they were tightening safety controls to stop abuse.

If you're going to bring up that old topic, at least try to get the facts straight.


I switched to grok because its a very cut and dry case of an ai company having poor ethics.

To me it seems a LOT of a stretch to think that the people behind grok belived their safty controls worked, but you can belive that if you wish. Deepfakes of non-consenting adults were trending on X all the time, elon even appears to have shared them himself, which is pretty bad even if they're all just adults, and I'm sure you belive that they belived the AI could tell the difference between an underage person and an adult perfectly, although it seems clear they didn't test it very much.


to grok or from?


In some sense they are even completely worthless - just tokens in a wealth redistribution scheme not connected to notable real value production.

If the system does crash, nothing of value would be lost. And we would be rid of ransomware.


Well not nothing, we have already loss an incalculable amount of money, resources, energy and time to generating Bitcoin and any other coin.


It is amazing how readily some people believe we target civilians, often based on the words of actual terrorists.

With this particular incident with apparent US strikes on a school adjacent to a military complex, and formerly part of that military complex, you would think it must be obvious to any reasonable person that we did not knowingly target a school.

Yet here we are.


> we did not knowingly target a school

They should have known, so it may still be a war crime. https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/the-weekly-cons...

And if it was an accident it only gives us more reason to oppose the whole operation. Why should we believe what they think they "know" about uranium stocks or anything else, if they couldn't figure out a building has been a school for 10+ years?

I also wonder if they really should have known by the second or third strike, but I can't readily find whether they had a live visual or anything, so probably did not. Arguably you can't in good conscience strike a target you can't see well, but I'm sure it happens all the time and doesn't usually go this bad.


Who are these actual terrorists you speak of?


When terrorists like the Trump administration openly admit to it in some cases and threaten to do it in others, and we see the evidence, it’s easy to believe our eyes and ears over your fantasies.


Gaza has entered the chat

We are so far past there being any merit to “Israel would never knowingly target civilians/children/hospitals/etc” that you just shouldn’t even bother. Just own it, if your leadership thinks the only winning strategy is the annihilation of another people, or at least their complete displacement, own it. Stop trying to hide behind “it was a mistake” while simultaneously showing you have no issues putting a missile through a singular car window to assassinate people labeled an enemy. Nobody buys it anymore.


We use Azure for desktops and we pay $600/month for 4 cores, getting performance comparable to a $60 Intel N100 chip.


We tried this (and M$ sold it hard) and never went to production with it (except for a couple of niche use cases). It was obviously not going to meet expectations before we were half way through the PoC.


I don't see a source in the article for the claims made throughout. Do you know the source of the claims that US soldiers were moved to hotels?


No it is not. Ink does not use a browser.
