Reply to CEOs are quietly backtracking on remote work—and more companies could follow by ethereal3xp
Unfortunately, if all the big corporations start requiring return to office mandates, then you will see this trend more often because they have the ability to offer the most jobs and higher pay. I don’t see it ever returning to 5 days a week, but can definitely see a hybrid environment. It also depends on what your role is. People in IT, who have no client-facing responsibilities probably can stay fully remote buy for example in legal, lawyers will require face-time

So they’re in trouble for misleadingly advertising their products, not mass fraud. Got it. I hate Revolut but I know they do a fuck ton of KYC and AML.

I see most of the posts here are discussions of the news articles. Can I just a technology related question (no, not tech support) for people to give their opinions about?

Reply to comment by Paperdiego in A top AI researcher reportedly left Google for OpenAI after sharing concerns the company was training Bard on ChatGPT data by jack_lafouine
Google "reacting" to the chatgpt announcement by unleashing a half-finished Bard in a hurry thereby botching up even a canned demo, using chatgpt data to train Bard, etc go to prove that. Speaking objectively.

I don't normally use Twitter, but I went over there linked from here and got told I needed to disable 2FA because I'm not a Blue member.
I just logged out instead tbh.

Strip away America freedom little by little until they are in total power. Deep down America just want to be like China.

Billionaires hiring Redditors even.
Give it up old men. We will never do homework again. We will cease to even name our own children. The time of synthetics has dawned and you will be assimilated.
You will eat the bugs crafted by expert AI chefs.

As far as I understand they are still far from capable enough to actually out pace traditional systems at anything and scaling them up causes the amount of errors to explode to the point where the results become useless.

Reply to comment by sybarius in Swiss solar tech can be rolled out on railway tracks ‘like a carpet’ by pobody-snerfect
yeah. these things changed, i remember the old days and the pleasant smell at stations if someone took a dump.
biggest concern i see with this rollout/rollin solar carpets other than it proving to check all technical concerns would be the importance train track gravel has come to play as biome for small wildlife. surveys have shown a surprisingly vast amount of animals and insects having adopted to the special conditions at train tracks, especially small reptiles.

Reply to E3 2023 has reportedly been canceled by DemiFiendRSA
Covid made me realize that E3 should be virtual anyways. A virtual conference game, where you pilot an avatar around any anyone anywhere can attend. Obviously it should support VR, but it does not need to be VR only.
IMO the company best poised to tackle this is Valve. I'd love to see them "host" one around the winter and summer sales. And another for revealing up and coming games in the spring, ala E3. For the companies doing a gameplay demo, setting up a few boxes and letting players control them via screen share. It is not perfect, but it would work, and a whole lot more people would get a chance to play. Plus it gives indie devs a better chance at being there.

One of the current methods for training competing models is to have ChatGPT literally create prompt -> completion data sets. That's what was used for https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI. A model based off of the Llama weights released by facebook, then fine tuned on ChatGPT3.5 prompt + completions. So yes, there is a good chance that google is literally using ChatGPT in the training loop.

The banks didn't commit any fraud (generally). They just were idiots with their money. So we could have more regulation to prevent this.
I'm all for it. Put Glass-Steagall back for starters. And we'll build from there.
Make commercial banking boring again.

Since when? Oh wait, since the start.
When John McAfee was a big cryptocurrency guy it wasn't a tip off?
And can we please bury "fintech". It's just Wall Street trying to put a tech sheen on their companies. Now that tech is on the slide anyway, can we drop this facade?

Sometimes they respond but one email won’t usually won’t work. Send multiple emails and call multiple times until they take you seriously.

swiss train track density is very high. the track system is very well maintained and it's easy to feed energy from those tracks back into the system as swiss train tracks also have energy and fibre lanes right next to them.
