Specifically because it's not a natural market. There are people who secure a 2-year, consequence-free term to impact U.S. law, at the behest of people with money.

Lobbying is special interests dictating decisions that often are not financially, morally, or otherwise ideal/beneficial to the other party (the United States and its people). This wouldn't fly at any corporation or business because there would be direct impacts on the bottom line or reputation of the company.

Sometimes just having the time/compute to explore the available space with known knowledge is enough to produce something unique.

I think one thing that's lost in all of the LLM tooling is that it's LLM-or-nothing and people have lost knowledge of other ML approaches that actually work just fine, like entity recognition.

I understand it's easier to just throw every problem at an LLM but there are things where off-the-shelf ML/NLP products work just as well without the latency or expense.

The risk of getting in early on crypto is you lose a little money. The risk of not is missing out on money. You can't simply replay that later, the way that you could invest the time to catch up on how git works.

You kind of have to go on "feels" for a lot of this.

That's important. Cloudwall isn't really saying they have some secret sauce here, but it's noteworthy who they nabbed.

Not always the case with Section 315, and late night and talk shows have been exempted in the past. The problem here is that this is on a case-by-case basis, and we have a particularly politically-charged executive agency.

Maybe I'm underestimating the issue at full, but isn't this a very lightweight problem to solve? Is converting the images to lower DPI formats/versions really any easier than just stripping the metadata? Surely the DOJ and similar justice agencies have been aware of and doing this for decades at this point, right?

Keep in mind this is in response to "basically no downtime"

If you told me Microsoft had "basically no downtime" I'd have the same reaction.

I'm sorry, but what? Not only has it had multiple half days of downtime, two full days+, but just two weeks ago had significant downtime.

There's another scenario, though: one where the head of your company is a bull in a China shop, whose successes have come almost exclusively through a Barnum-esque scheme of cascading bravado and marketing genius without much expertise, but a marvelous ability to sell any idea purely via unearned gravitas.

The former is less sexy: I've compiled loads of talented people, and we're going to solve very hard problems, even some that seem impossible.

The latter is very sexy: I'm a genius and we're going to accomplish the impossible in one year via sheer force of my grand will. And even if it doesn't actually happen, I'll sell you on the next vision.
