You didn't make a point yet.

You claimed I misunderstood, then quoted a sentence that starts with "if".

Opposite of what I claim? No.

"Samsung Electronics informed its executives and employees that data entered into ChatGPT is transmitted and stored on external servers, making it impossible for the company to retrieve it and increasing risks of confidential information leakage."

"These actions clearly put confidential information at risk, prompting Samsung to warn its employees about the dangers of using ChatGPT. Samsung Electronics informed its executives and employees that data entered into ChatGPT is transmitted and stored on external servers, making it impossible for the company to retrieve it and increasing risks of confidential information leakage."

Have you ever worked in any sector that has security policies?

Even if you haven't, perhaps spend 2 minutes using a search engine?

Here is a first page result for you: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/samsung-fab-workers-leak-c...

There are oodles of use-cases where sending your data to an outside provider is a complete no-go. In these cases OpenAI/Google/whoever-products aren't relevant competition.

If you ask them to reason, then their text-prediction works differently, because it now predicts text containing reasons. They do not actually reason.

I know it is hard to believe, because the results are (usually) so impressive, but this is nothing but text-prediction.

I feel in many parts of the US it is now expected, if not demanded.

This is bullshit. If your business model doesn't work without tips, you need to raise the base prices. And in pubs and bars and such you need to pay your staff a proper wage.

Tipping is great, if it is optional.

The sentence you (partially) quote starts with "if" and ends with "wish". Cough.

I think this will be the only bit I remember:

[Fifteen-year-old] Landon thought for a second and nodded. “I do think the Sphere is cool,” he said, looking me in the eye. “But it means more light pollution. I’m trying to see the stars.”

What is the alternative? Just let the population age?

well, it normally would be, in our situation the climate likely will interfere with any long term plans.

as you can't change the birth rate overnight, and even if you could, it would take ~20years for the kids to begin earning, there needs to be a short-term solution. and that is immigration.

good thing immigration is so popular in rich western societies at the moment.
