Yeah, this business is based on actually delivering the promise.

They would also leave TikTok and Instagram as well if it would be pure ideological reasoning.

I have also noticed the same with Gemini. Maybe it is a wider problem.

That is not thousands high-severity vulnerabilities as above commenter stated. Even many local models have found individual vulnerabilities.

Most flagship models have found real bugs. Not sure if Opus deserves mention alone. Even open models have found many.

Neither party provided the evidence. I wonder why people like to take the side of the optimistic.

Well, nobody mentioned it technically. Like nobody mentioned Assembly but it is under the hood.

> "..when I finally pushed for bigger scope at Amazon. My manager’s initial reaction wasn’t excitement. It was something closer to “But you’re doing so well where you are.”", most managers generally push their devs to always be doing larger pieces of work, if they aren't, that's weird.

From the business perspective, it may not be good to push. If they are really good at what they currently do, the manager would need to find a replacement, and there is no certainty that the old worker provides more value in the different job. When only the money is weighted, this will happen often. Seems to fit for Amazon's work culture.

Are they going to pay back if subscription was payed but token limit was less than advertised? Is there some tiny text somewhere preventing just suing or pulling money back with credit cards?

> Setting min-release age to 7 days is great, but the only true way to protect from supply chain attacks is restricting network access.

Getting zero day patches 7 days later if no proper monitoring about important patches or if this specific patch is not in the important list. Always a tradeoff.

It is harder and harder to trust any blog post anymore, the more AI there is. I used to read blog posts because of the personality and the precision level. Now both have been taken away.

> Unless you are Python, where the standard library includes multiple HTTP libraries and everyone installs the requests package anyways.

The amount of time defining same data structures over and over again vs `pip install requests` with well defined data structures.

I have tried it a lot aswell. A single mistake and it guesses the side and changes the tone.

Maybe it’s not so sensible to offload the responsibility of tubacca addiction to tubacca companies?

The output is also very manipulative in order to keep you using it. They want you to feel good. I don't use ChatGPT at all anymore, as it is misleading too badly. But it will work for masses as it worked with Facebook/Instagram etc.

It is not worse I would say. It uses neutral system prompt by default, whereas Gemini and ChatGPT will please you too much to mislead you badly. Also the base search is much batter. You can control the search while with Gemini, for example, you can't.

This wasn’t even problem in EU before Uber lobbied regulation changes. Drivers had to meet strict criterias before the changes.

> If I'm dropping $3k on a monitor, it needs to be a technology that lasts, not a technology that wears out over time.

I bought my OLED TV when fearmongering was the highest, and it still works perfectly with zero burn-ins. So it is definitely possible. I bought the tv 8 years ago.
