Sparking

David Rosen of Wolfire Games (Receiver, Overgrowth, Lugaru) is alleging that steam reps have threatened to de-list his game if he lists it as less expensive on other platforms. Specifically not just steam keys but other distribution platforms.

There is andiffefence between saying that scam call centers are bad and that Indians have a culture of scamming. Thats all.

This is kind of racist though. Indian citizens don’t choose to be scammers in a way that Europeans don’t. Its a natural consequence of the countries establishment of business services combined with widespread systemic poverty. This traces back to international business deals, political and economic circumstances. It’s not a cultural thing.

It doesn’t mean that scam call centers are good. But Indians have definitely been exploited by international business. Only natural that they end up returning the favor.

8f your in enterprise software, this stuff is pretty malleable. You are regularly asked to give pitches and lectures on medical projects, for sales reasons. You would be surprised - most people that work on this stuff have no idea the fist thing about medicine.

My Mom’s a doctor, so I can ask her to have a bit of insight about this stuff. The challenges facing healthcare don’t have that much to do with technology, at least in the US.

I’m in all the business meetings. “Use Chatham to save time generating analysis” or something like that. I think it has been proven that merely using it as a tool to generate content isn’t profitable- at some level even your paid subscription is subsidized by VC money. The real test is if it provides “valuable” content. But then why does your employer even need you to make the prompts? Don’t worry, I believe LLMs are fundamentally incapable of this and that your job is safe.

Much of this seems like a bad idea imo.

Lol. I will believe it when I see it. I don’t think LLMs especially will do that much good in Healthcare, and I would be particulary wary of them diagnosing patients. Aside from some very limited signal analysis for telehealth, I am very wary on the applications of “new” AI on healthcare. I believe it will be a disaster.

Yes, but it is not profitable for it to run like this. I would speculate that payed users are the vast minority.

I have never understood this reasoning. Obviously the few determined actors for training data will just start scraping for content.

Google made a very profitable ad business fromt heir search engine.

Yeah, hasn’t anyone else noticed that there hasn’t been a single profitable product to come out of it? Even copilot is biting the dust already as they try to reduce computing costs. I also haven’t heard of a single person actually paying for chatgpt access either…

Unfortunately, I don’t think we are going to get this until the fighting stops, and even then Israel and Hamas will probably seek to limit access.

Not really the same though. Chips are very difficult to make. Refining graphite isn’t. Its just carbon.

The trade war started due to essentially racism on the part of Peter Navarro. But I would bet that Biden is continuing it essentially to force china to the negotiating table for a new trade deal under conditions that would discourage a bunch of military action. That is the sense I got from their delegation the other month anyway. Seems open to a deal - the major issue in Biden’s view is that he would probably like to leverage out agreements for a western compatible form of world security. China will probably hold out trying to get an advantage - their trust is pretty shot. I think they would at least like to see who the next president will be.

Putin can always pull his troops put and end this. It is always an option. Keep that in mind when he says anything - its on him.

Thats what I did.

No, he is perfectly fine to discriminate against the self hating Jews /s

What, is this because of botters?

I know, it’s pretty silly and very dishonest. I just find it so bizarre that the boundaries of what these finances can provide are drawn around these lines. Skipping songs was “profitable” 1 week ago, but now it isn’t? It is very goofy.

Pandora, but at least they were honest about it.

So it’s pandora now?
