http://getcloudskills.com is my focus these days. Teaching software architecture and cloud computing to 1,000,000 students in 200 countries.
- unreal37Given that the World Wide Web was invented in 1989... are you saying that the Internet was safer when only FTP and Usenet existed?
- Open Source absolutely stops being maintained. And worse.
- LinkedIn deserves some disruption. OpenAI announces a jobs platform to put employers in contact with people with AI skills. And an academy to teach AI skills that businesses need. They hope to certify 10 million Americans by 2030.
- A 0.9% month-over-month increase is significant.
- Looks like a "GPT text output condenser" might be a good project to work on.
- The government is claiming that Facebook bought Meta and Whatsapp because it couldn't compete with them.
Is that illegal? I don't understand! Every company that buys another company buys it because it adds something to their business. It's a ridiculous claim.
- You don't know if they're doing their job from a photo. Perhaps they're replying to constituents, reading the details of the law they are being asked to vote on, checking with colleagues on the status of votes, etc. You don't know. It's just harassment without facts.
- Oh I can use your personal private data for artistic expression?!?
Doubtful.
- There's a brand new AI law too. You'd likely need explicit consent of these people to have their personal data (face) processed by AI.
- GenAI is becoming popular for image generation to add visuals to the novel.
- No, not in the AI space. Disagree that you can be successful by avoiding risk and conserving resources.
- If all you're doing is building a project management app, yeah it's easy to be profitable.
The trick is when you're trying to take risks and innovate. It took Amazon a long time to be profitable. It took Uber a long time to be profitable. It took Facebook a long time to be profitable.
When it's a land grab - when you're racing against other companies in a new market like AI - you need to burn money fast to run fast. Can't take a year in private beta.
- I loved my little TI-99/4A...
I used to lay down in the living room and transcribe BASIC from COMPUTE! magazine into it, and customize them, and that's how I learned to program.
- Yes imagine if Andy Warhol were alive and involved in selling forgeries of his own work... is it still a forgery then?
- It sounds like they suspect someone who helped design the original Pokemon trading card game - Takumi Akabane. A prominent investor claims to have gotten the cards directly from him and doesn't care if they're fake as a result.
Maybe the original designer wants to make a few more dollars.
- I thought OpenAI GPT took Wikipedia and the content of every book as inputs to train their models?
Everyone is standing on the shoulders of giants.
- There is no concept in American Law of "acquiring stolen stuff legally".
If you buy something that was stolen, the original owner has the right to get it back without compensation to you.
- This "just let people steal your stuff, it's not worth pursuing" logic is fine for some, not fine for others.
Also, thieves are dumb. Don't expect them to find all the tracking devices in minutes.
- They clearly hacked the device.
In fact, maybe they "repaired" it by installing an older, hackable firmware.
