With a bank investement I get something back, even if less than what I invested. Could OpenAI pay back even half of what received ?

Which send us back to the starting point: what will happen when the VCs will start to ask for their money back or for their share of the revenue ? Inevitably the bubble will pop.

I think that this is just a technical difference based on what you are investing into.
A personal bank’s investement is a different thing than a investement in a startup, with different level of risks and revenue.

I would think that this warning, in a way or another, is true in every kind of investment, even my bank’s personal investment have something like it.

I don’t think it, I was only pointing out that he was comparing two different things.

I know that there is no way the two events have a compatible frame of reference but that does not means that you can compare the two values.

You are right, but you are comparing apples with oranges here, what was the Great Depression economy contraction ? Or what was the unemployment rates in 2008 ?

It would be interesting to know how many resources this growth has taken from others places…

As for now it don’t seems that AI has generated a profit for the companies that bring it to the market and it seems it will not do it even in the near future, so I assume the question is: how many years can your economy be sustained by a sector that is not generating any revenue and is absorbing a monstrous amount of resources ?

We are not talking about a single company (like Amazon back at the time), do you really think that even when Ai will start (if ever) to generate profits these will be able to repay all the investements done today ?

It is first step. If it will work well, maybe other states will do it.

As today if I give you a phone number you have no idea who is the owner if you don’t look up on some service.
It will not change if instead of the phone number we use the IMEI or a UUID, somewhere you need to have a link between the owner and the something, if nothing else in your phone and at the phone company.

Even talking about phones, having so many fees that you cannot list them all is insane.

so instead of creating some kind of authorization system that would not require sending your private information to everyone the govt did nothing and instead put that responsibility on EVERY company. begs the question why rushing so much?

I would suppose that this is because there is not a single way valid for every govt. For example, in Italy we have SPID, which is different from what Germany, France and every EU state have.
If Discord wanted to use it, they had to implement a numbers of way to do it, which can be not that easy.

Option 3: companies that you pay to provide authentication service. Regulated so that they clearly tell you if they are subsidizing service outside of your payments.

Then you just need to hack this company instead of Discord, you only change target.

Also a great way for Flock to lose their contracts with large blue cities in Texas (and elsewhere).

This would only lead to the emergence of another Flock, with the same problems.

What you should really do is abolish that stupid and retrograde law.

More than Open Source, I would say that Vibe Coding is the new Visual Basic 3.0

And probably it is also the only thing that China wants so that can try to corner the market. But if they move half of the production oversea then they probably will become less appetible for China since they cannot really control the production.
Not that they must do it, just a consideration.

They say to use PDQ for images which should output a similar hash for similar images (but why MD5 for video ?). So probably it is only a threshold problem.
The algorithm is explained here

it is not an hash in the cryptographic sense.

Whether it’s pertinent or not is irrelevant. Whether it’s useful to know is irrelevant. How they’re treated is (kinda) irrelevant.

Whatever, I still think that knowing such information in a technical forum is irrelevant and should not be asked or disclosed per se.
I will still treat the person as she deserve, with respect to the person if she is respectfull or as assholes if she is an assholes, irregarless how they choose to identify themself.

If you think it is wrong how I treat people think whatever you want, it is not my problem.

Why in this context I need to know that ? And why in this context I would like to ask about this ? How it is pertinent ?

My point is simply that there are situations where these kind of information are not needed nor usefull. I am not saying that this is valid everywhere and every time but that there are places where knowing that the person you are talking to is a queer is important, situation where it is not important and situation where merely asking for that information is dangerous.
In my view, on the Ubuntu’s discourse this is an information that is not relevant nor usefull to know.

Do you want to consider it as a “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy ? Fine, I just try to treat people like they deserve in any case and to do this I don’t need to know these informations, a queer is a normal person to me when it comes to interact with him/her/whatever.

No, that’s treating you as a normal person irregardless of the private aspects of your life. You are free to disclose them and I am free to ignore them since in this context I don’t care, and I don’t see why I should care, about them.

Else explain to me how being a queer/gay/trans/whatever impact on the submitted code or contribution.

And what better way to normalize diversity in this context than ignore everything but the code you submit ? We are talking about code, not personal issues.

I mean, I don’t care that the bus driver who take me to the office this morning is gay/trans/whatever, why I should care about this for the person that send me a code contribution ? Being queer make the code inherently better ? Or bad code should be accepted because a queer person send it ?

As I see it, you send good code it is merged, you send bad code it is refused and, most importantly, it was explained why the code is not good enough to be accepted. Nowhere in this flow knowing that you are a queer has any importance.
