"Thiel told the FT that his account was frozen on Friday when regulators stepped in and took control of the bank. However, it is once again accessible after the US government stepped in earlier this week and shored up all customer deposits in SVB."
OMG folks....this poor guy didn't have access to about 1 percent of his net worth for ...a whole weekend

That's another way of saying "please don't probe our deals"
Yeah ..must be all the remote workers!

Reply to comment by Kaekru in Microsoft Bing AI ends chat when prompted about 'feelings' by Ssider69
Ai chatbots aren't sentient??? Holy fuck... you're kidding me....
Iow...no shit
My point..."my guy" is that any system that routinely fucks up as much as AI chat is the result of designers not thoroughly testing. And if it's not ready for prime time . .don't release it
Or is that too direct a concept ..."my guy"
AI chat is just another example of dressing up mounds of processing power to do something that seems cool but is not only flawed but useless.
It kind of sums up the industry really, and in fact most of the IT business right now

Literally the developers are the one designing the system. Anything it does is in them ..their failure to recognize a problem is the same as directly causing it
I used literally because that, in gen z speak, means "no I really mean it"

True of course. It says more about what goes on in the mind of developers I think

>The chatbot generated a response to an Associated Press reporter that compared them to Hitler, and displayed another response to a New York Times columnist that said, "You're not happily married" and "Actually, you're in love with me."
Welcome to the age of AI stalkers

He'd be better off hiring a little person to operate each car in a hidden compartment. And paying for it with a "subscription"

Well, guess if I can work another 80 years I might have enough to retire.

Seems familiar...is that an interferometry apparatus?

This is among the more fascinating experiments of a generation
It ranks with the LIGO experiment as it confirms theories previously thought untestable
Also kind of head spinning to realize that this is based on nearly a century old work.

Building infrastructure is not just like adding lines of code...and granted that is difficult enough
Geological conditions vary by region for one. You aren't going to bore 2x faster than anyone else. Drilling in New Hampshire is a whole different set of challenges than in Nevada.

I'm an avid user of Reddit because I prefer to read articles and consider the information presented
But I've never had the urge to share my life via social media. It's great for me if I go see the Pyramids but why would anyone else care that I went?
Social media is a product that mostly invented its own demand. The ultimate bootstrap paradox
I remember when you went on vacation and other people sped away in their vehicles when you offered to show them photos of you in front of some monument or natural wonder...and then of course share photos of the hotel lobby, the rental car agency and the gas station you stoped in to buy a slushy

Reply to Twitter will no longer recommend tweets from unverified accounts, blocks non-Blue users from voting in polls by KingBlue2
He's way overestimating the value of Twitter in people's lives.
And just what happens if you can't vote in a Twitter poll anyway? If he only leaves paying members then it negates the value of the poll as a metric of public opinion.
