Makes sense to me. Most people probably don't want the hassle of having to upgrade a non lts release. I'm still on 22.04 on the machine I use for work.

Is this from a US context? 10k for a mastectomy seems insane :(

When I'm curious about a language, I usually first build some implementation of a perceptron or basic neural network, as well as a (usually very bad) text editor.

I feel like once I have those behind me, I've got some fundamentals and can dive deeper into what makes the specific language actually special :)

This is so good I'm crying. Thank you for sharing <3

The fact that OpenAI have waived the threat of using the clause implies to me that they've defined it relatively loosely... or just that they're really stupid, which may also be possible.

I did a little bit of looking and couldn't find a figure on how much OpenAI spends on AGI compared to GenAI research, but in looking, I found this interesting:

https://openai.com/index/scale-the-benefits-of-ai/

Which begins with the following:

We are making progress on our mission to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity. Every week, over 250 million people around the world use ChatGPT to enhance their work, creativity, and learning...

Which seems like a shady placement of two unrelated things next to one another. Makes me wonder if texts like this have the goal of selling GenAI as AGI one day.

I'm actually surprised AGI isn't better defined in the contract, or that there isn't a burden of proof so that they can't lie, but that was definitely on purpose. I really can't imagine them severing that tie though; OpenAI simply isn't financially stable enough, especially in the long term, and I'm sure they know it too.

This is a very good point. It makes me a bit uneasy, even though it is still better than driverless cars. Aside from this, I also have mixed feelings about the fact that every pound being put into development and purchasing of these busses could have been put into the expansion of existing routes...
And it's not even something that would drastically improve my experience if it was fully successful. Busses are already one of the safest modes, being safer than trains in several countries. Maybe I've missed something and someone can correct me, but this feels like throwing money at technology for technology's sake.

I mean... a form of Microsoft Defender is available for Linux, but only for enterprise customers if I remember correctly 😅

I love it! Is the picture then new?

Really cool picture! These aren't in service anymore, right? Haven't been to Munich in ages.

Thank you for such a detailed explanation! I've always asked myself why the busses in my city get cancelled in the winter but not the trams, and now it makes so much sense :D

Glad the kitty was ok and all ended well 🥰

This is a surprisingly accurate description of the difference between the days where I go to the office and the days where I work from home 😅

2017 a few days before Christmas, dad kicked me out of the house :/

I'm nervous about where this will head. There is just so much potential for abuse, from hackers that just want money to state actors to oppressive regimes. Yes the data is local, but the way it's summarized, pre-classified and apparently nowhere near adequately filtered opens so many potential vectors. And Microsoft seem still adamant about pushing this :/

Unfortunate, but understandable :(
I wish we could rely on good faith with something like this, but it seems the only way is to block as much tracking as possible by force.

That repo is much more active than I would have thought 😅 Can't wait to see this somewhere in production

I mean... yeah. I'm not in the USA and I will probably also feel the effects of whatever tariffs are placed. It seems like he's already preparing excuses for when things don't pan out. (Not to mention the immigration issue and so on)

I really wonder what the state of OpenAI will be in five years. They really don't have a proper business model (or at the very least a functional one), and it doesn't seem like they will have one. Will Microsoft fully buy them out? It seems like the only way to make "AI" profitable is to make it a selling point on products that would have otherwise already had large profit margins.

I will never understand why this place is idolized by so many people...
