So a system trained on stolen data reportedly is stealing data from its customers? Shocking

Most companies avoid this for liability reasons

Funny that none of the commenters got the reference/joke

fwiw the post mentioned Shopify and Spotify, hence why you see discussion of both

Seems likely he's not even real given his 1 day tweet history

Are we sure he's real?

He's only tweeting 10 times and it's all in the last week? No other info on him online including via a reverse image search feels suss.

Can I ask a nieve question?

Why would OpenAI volunteer to give credit / share authorship if they believe they indeed solved the problem independently and in a different way?

Based on how they seem to operate in general, this smells more like CYA than it does being honorable, but that's my bias.

It's laughable to claim Elon supports free speech: he's the guy who will ban anyone for calling him out or challenging him (Google it if you don't believe me)

I don't know a single prominent Democrat who thought they had a chance of succeeding, just that they even tried was enough for them to be unpatriotic cultists

It works 24/7 till it breaks down or gets stuck in a situation it was trained for then the company that purchased it will likely have to wait at least days if not weeks for a repair tech to come down and fix it or adjust its training data.

I feel so many people bullish on these robots has never worked on physical things so they have this rosy picture of the smooth sailing once they get their humanoid robots delivered that it's going to just work forever without effort or input.

You actually believe this is what these people want to create?

Why then are they directly attacking many forms of creativity (writing, photography, art, filmmaking, even programming)?

Why do they resist all forms of social programs if these technologies are supposed to create untold wealth (ala Star Trek)?

Ostensibly they need a warrant to get that data from Apple/Google whereas they have a direct line to Flock data cause that's how that relationship works

Smart phones are opt-in technology. Flock is not.

How does the number of state employees de facto result in a police state?

I agree with you on our obscene debt and our obsession with "conflicts" around the world, but I'd argue we're seeing the mass reduction of state employees and it's just making everything worse (eg massive deregulation and the destruction of checks and balances).

Same. Cancelled the day the Elon acquisition was announced.
