I am convinced that the mass layoffs are occurring because forward-thinking executives can see that AI agents are coming to replace employees faster than most people expect. By doing layoffs early they can cut staff before public opinion shifts to questioning AI as the motive, as opposed to "the economy".

These companies know that AI agents are coming at them hard and fast. I think this and other layoffs are happening now so they can cut down the numbers before the question becomes "Are you replacing them with AI?".

Which tracks with it not impacting "hourly frontline workers employed at the parks and resorts".

> "Suing could force the government to start the repayment machinery again, which might not be a terrible thing. Given the low unemployment rate and the existence of income-driven repayment plans for people who are struggling, few people would be ruined by restoring the February 2020 status quo."

This particularly perturbed me with the implication that "ruining" a few people is fine as long as a few other people are made wealthier.

Greatest country etc.

LLMs already have problems with fact vs fiction. I don't see how Reddit of all places has "valuable data" in that regard.

This is great. I'd love this with the same style radio chatter, but from a bot that watches my news sources, tweets, emails, and radios itself to discuss interesting things happening.

"An email just came in at 0743 AM from Steve.. over" ... "Yeah that looks like an interesting followup to the one from John last week. Someone should reply to this one. Over."

I wasn't involved in the legal side and am not a lawyer, but in my limited understanding of US contract law (where this is exclusively used) it is quite simple to create a binding contract that will stand up in court. Building it, if anything, showed how simple the process can actually be.

Funny, we've just replaced DocuSign with a custom-built solution that will achieve full ROI in less than one year, thanks to recent price hikes on the contract.

Great. More e-waste as I toss it in the trash.

I felt the same way when I really wanted a super soaker 2000 and then the neighbor kid got one before me. "MOOOOM!!!"

Windows 11 is a thinly-veiled state-sponsored malware masquerading as a productivity tool.

Trying to stop the spread of LLaMA with DMCAs is an interesting technique. Like the internet version of trying to put out a grease fire with water.

Since the issue looks to be the consent of the footage being released, would it be the same situation if the footage came from their body cams requested by FOIA? Provided all of their cams didn't simultaneously and mysteriously malfunction of course. Either way I hope things go Afroman's way on this. The raid itself was complete clown shoes.

In practice, the larger the organization the less likely the potential legal sanctions are to dissuade them. My observation has been that once an organization (in the US anyway) grows large enough it is in a special protected status where no real penalties can come to it and there is certainly no risk of exposure to criminal charges for the decision makers.

Hopefully there will be a plug-in-your-own-API-key open source thing then. Even better.

I've been following tech long enough to know that as soon as the computer can figure out which button to press it's only going to click on ads, I guarantee it.
