When you are interviewing for a job it is just as important to get a feel for the company to make sure they are right for you.

This sort of interview tells me that they see their employees as a nameless commodity.

> Blatant authoritarian lie.

You know if you want to be taken seriously you should avoid attacking the people responding to you. You attack the argument, not the person.

> Almost every liberal democracy has their variant of it written in their basic law

What does that mean exactly? To me it appears you are confusing US Freedom of Speech with "Freedom of expression" that many other countries have.

Hate speech is nearly always illegal with freedom of expression. Not so with freedom of speech.

> This is the gnostic cult "manifesting" in action.

Again you need to calm down on the rhetoric.

You could be right, but without any kind of evidence that I can look at there is very little weight to your argument.

I am only going by public media, and its not even close to its level of popularity before Elon took over.

> Remind me, why did you stop pushing Mastodon as a Twitter replacement?

I am not sure what you mean by that? How or where I pushing Mastodon?

I was pointing out when twitter got banned in Brazil the majority of Brazil users moved to Blue sky.

Again public news.

If you want to keep chatting, how about less of the name calling and maybe something to back up your claims, because it runs counter to current media.

> he does actually stand up for free speech.

Freedom of speech is an American thing and it only relates to the government preventing you from speaking.

It is not freedom of consequence and it not freedom to post whatever you like online.

You still have to follow the laws of the country you do business in. Elon was not following the laws in Brazil, and when he was told to he doubled down.

Twitter is for the most part dead. Over 80% of it is value gone, nearly all advertisers gone. The only freedom of speech is the freedom to see Elons posts when you don't want to. It's turned into neo-nazi sounding board.

There are already alternatives out there and Elon helped Bluesky just recently get to over 10 million users.

This is normal for the large corporations. They regularly layoff and rehire in other areas as needs/skills are needed.

To lower chances of a layoff, see where the company is going and make yourself employable in that area. Companies are more inclined to keep an employee than spend months getting a hire.

> Now why would Apple want to make it harder for people to read?

It's 100 people in 161,000. That's not a wave.

> Nice touch finding a way to destroy 100 people's lives at the same time for no reason.

How do you know that? Did they become unemployable? What were their roles? Did they get severance? Maybe they took the payout rather than moving to another department.

It's not good to rage until you have all the details.

> There is no voice actor to name.

That's not how it works. You have to give it sample to train off to keep the voice consistent.

The model itself is trained off YT data, because when it hallucinates it sometimes says "subscribe to my channel".

Really the question is did they train off "Publicly available data" and not a VA.

It seems to be their mantra for questionable training data.

Use of synthetic data causes "Model collapse".

The model ends up not able to understand anything it is trained on.

The best you can hope for is to use one model to train another, as long as the one being trained hasn't seen the material before.

Even that just mitigates it.

Never attribute to malice....

It's more likely someone didn't get the memo and is just following the documented process.

> sophisticated enough to be able to say "I don't know"

They absolutely know what data is being trained on.

Any company telling you otherwise is lying.

The reason they won't say is because it can put them in the position of having to remove some of the data, or opens up the "Training on other peoples work".

That's why they say "publicly available sources" as their source. Youtube videos for example.

It's going to be a big thing soon. Some companies are already getting ahead of it. For example IBMs models they detail exactly where all the data to train came from.

Seen this throughout my working career.

When you have metrics that measure a persons worth, they will work towards the metric and not what you are measuring.

Just based on this description, no one is going to play against anyone who can potentially drop their score.

Change your name to Anonymous/Anonymous in the settings.

As long as another Anonymous doesn't show up and take your reservation you should be fine.

> the stuff available today is nothing more than amusing crap generators

The public stuff.

I got a demo of an application that all the companies employees are using. Everything they work on it is being fed into it and they have multiple LLMs working through it.

In the demo they gave it a real world use case and it proceeded to build marketing, architectural (with diagrams) and pricing documents.

All from materials that highly paid people doing the work up front.

The only flaw I could see in it is that you need experts to know that the materials are meaningful, but it was doing the majority of their work.

> It taught itself to play Go using innovative tactics different from how humans play.

If you read into how it was built this was far from the case. More media blowing things out of proportion. It required large amounts of manual correction as it routinely went into evolutionary black holes of strategy.

> But never hit the magic 100, despite the "exactly 100 words" being part of the core definition.

That's because it doesn't understand what a word it. It responds in tokens which can be 3-5 characters.

In chatGPT some of the number related responses are actually going through generated to determine the answer.

You can see this by asking it to verify its work.

Windows CE mobile when it came out was a horrible UX.

It was like someone said "Let's put windows on a mobile device" but had never used a smart phone in their life.

They did better later, but damage was done, at least for me.

The only thing worse was the Nokia NGage. (Sadly owned that as well).
