It shows that some measure of supervision is needed. That firing all of the coders, and unleashing bots is probably a bad idea (at least for the near future)
I dont know why people seem to care so much about llm safety. They’re trained on the internet. If you want to look up questionable stuff, it’s likely just a google search away
It’s interesting. I think the real way to do this is gradually scale up. Crossing the ocean is hard mode. Instead start by something much shorter and land based. Then you at least have a stable platform to work on and can focus on the other hard problems
The thing is, its not just Meta. It's anyone with a square inch of pixels that you can slap an ad on. Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Meta gets a lot of flack, but it's easy to stop using Facebook. It's a lot harder to stop using Google or Amazon.
This is really about cost-cutting. If Amazon felt it were about being spread too thin, the obvious solution is to make a short list of charities. Or increase the amount donated.
Apple is trying to see what the reaction is. They've got some negative press recently for pricing things a little too high (say a $1k monitor stand or $700 wheels). They're watching to see what the reaction to the rumor is. If people say 'no one would ever pay that', then they'll dial it back a bit. If the reaction is 'eh, maybe for those specs', then full steam ahead.
Either way, they can just deny the leak as a rumor without any basis.
This misses the elephant in the room. Every major tech company is already pushing hard towards renewable and/or zero carbon. The problem isn't tech, it's the other companies (chemical, oil, agriculture, etc).
It's a personal thing. What works for one person might not work for another.
That being said, definitely invest in an excellent keyboard and mouse. If you are going to spend 8+ hours a day using it, make sure it's comfortable. I can't stand anything which isn't a mechanical keyboard. I have tried various funny looking ergonomic models but haven't found them necessary yet.
Also, don't overlook your chair and desk. They might be forcing your hands into an awkward position.
