It’s malware and spyware masquerading as a communications app

Set your status to busy while reading an article or reference doc or talking to a colleague on your phone? Now you’re idle so middle managers can make incorrect assumptions about your work habits.

It takes 3-4 times the resources of Skype that it replaced with no benefit to individual users, it’s just a monopoly killing competition that did the job better.

100%, AI moves in cycles related to scientific research, same as most other tech innovation funding hype boom/bust cycles.

Incremental scientific research delivers new possible features -> funding hype to be first to market -> engineering builds products based on new tech -> people learn what it can and cannot do through use -> hype dies and funding dries up (you are here for LLMs) -> less funding stops engineering new products and research continues incremental changes until repeat.

It’s been that way for AI since the 80s with expert systems, then deep nets, and now LLMs. I suspect a lot of layoffs over the past year have been related to over committing to commercial office space and AI solutions not delivering projected ROIs.

A closer analogy would be only providing the binary output of the emulator build and calling it open source. If you can’t reproduce building the output from what they provide in what way is it reproducible? The model is the output, the training data and algorithm to build the model based on the training data are the input.

Edit: Say I have a Java project I want to open source. Normally (oversimplifying a bit) it goes .java source files used with a compiler to build intermediate bytecode in .class files, then there’s a just in time (JIT) compilation to create the binary code as it runs in the JVM. It’s not open source if I only share the class files, even if I can use them to recreate source files that can be recompiled into the same class files. Starting at an intermediate step of the process isn’t the source.

It is definitely one of the operating systems

1999’s The Night of the Headless Horseman. Very '90s CG but if you’re able to get past that it’s amazing, one of my top two favorite tellings of the tale, with voice actors including Mark Hamill, Clancy Brown, Tia Carrere, Bill Fagerbakke, and William H Macy.

The Warsaw Pact was the second world defensive military treaty in cold war terms where it originated. NATO allied countries, Warsaw pact allied countries, and unaffiliated with either.

But word definitions change with usage, and today first and third are more commonly used to identify economic development as a catch all measurement for developed vs undeveloped countries and regions. I don’t think it’s bigoted, but it is a superficial comparison. I think you can learn a lot more about a culture through their art and treatment of prisoners for example, among other measurements.

Seems a bit dry

Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt, it’s the same FUD tactics the wealthy have used for decades to distract from the real problems that should have been resolved decades ago.
