  • What's a situation where you need an unused variable? I'm onboard with go and goland being a bit aggressive with this type of thing, but I can't think of the case where I need to be able to commit an unused variable.

  • ChatGPT In Trouble: OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2024, AI bot costs company $700,000 every day

  • In this case, Microsoft owns 49% of OpenAI, so they're the ones subsidizing it. They can also offer at-cost hosting and in-roads into enterprise sales. Probably a better deal at this point than VC cash.

  • Banks hit with $549 million in fines for use of Signal, WhatsApp to evade regulators’ reach

  • I worked at a firm that was regulated and audited by the SEC. The standard lesson from the compliance department was always to have potentially problematic conversations out loud instead of in email or Slack. They never needed encryption to avoid regulators.

  • The Fear Of AI Just Killed A Very Useful Tool

  • This is sad but understandable. Authors, most of whom don't make enough money to call it a career, are being kicked from every side. In just the last handful of years, you have AI companies training on their works, companies demonstrating they're open to replacing writers with AI, the Internet Archive giving their books away for free, states trying to ban more and more books, etc. When you're kicked enough, everything looks like a threat.

    Similar to music, I imagine there's going to need to be some shift in the industry but I don't think we've seen what that is yet. Patreon, physical merch, and live performances just don't seem to work as well for authors as they do for musicians.

    That being said, this particular site is clearly fair use and I'm surprised AI was even mentioned anywhere in the conversation.

  • If you haven't checked it out yet, Strange New Worlds is definitely the best of modern Trek. This season especially has really reminded me of TNG.
