This was my first thought. When I learned how to drive, the rule was one car length per 10 mph. So at highway speeds of 70, that would be 7 car lengths of space to ensure enough distance to safely stop or avoid a collision. I see approximately 0% of people following this rule nowadays, and while I try to maintain it myself, it often results in a stream of vehicles merging in front of me and messing up my distance. Fun times.
Afaik this is precisely what the captcha data was intended for - training AI models. Originally leveraged machine learning. LLMs are a slightly different paradigm but same purpose and results here.
JFC, win_blows_.
lol!
lmao even.
First of all, I just want to acknowledge how humorous the point you’re making is given your name, Zek.
Second, I hear you. What I’m saying is that in the states we have seen a disturbing lack of interest in trust busting over the past 20-30 years, and it’s led to some ridiculous monopolization in some markets. Tech is definitely one area that suffers from this. You’re right that EU regulators could push back on this if they wanted to, but think about what that might mean if nvidia/intel decided to play hardball. We are presently in a golden age of AI where nvidia’s products are basically the mainstay of the entire market…it could really set the EU back competitively if they chose to refuse those products at this particular juncture. I think they would face enormous pressure to simply accept the deal, in this hypothetical.
Don’t be so sure about that.
Only because our “representatives” let them write the law entirely. Imagine if Congress wasn’t filled to the brim with 80 year old fundraisers…
Uh-oh!
Yeah, this is why it’s time we have an honest conversation to seriously consider a 24 hour work week.
Productivity has gone up consistently since the 70s while wages have stagnated. It’s going up at an even faster rate now with AI assistant tooling. Workers deserve to enjoy some of the rewards from that increased output, and I can’t think of a better way than letting them enjoy life more outside of work.

There’s an old adage in computing which really applies here:
Garbage in, garbage out.
Pretty insightful, and quite possible as people are being trained on the “app experience” vs computing proper.
I’m assuming you are including establishment democrats under the “conservatives” umbrella here.
When the Romney’s Republican healthcare plan called “Obamacare” was proposed, it had the public option in it. Joe Biden immediately removed this provision for “bi-partisan compromise” - this happened before they even began negotiations over the bill.
lol
nah it’s legit, just look at any of the military spending bills which rocket through at warp speed
Would it be so terrible for Hollywood to become a relic of the past?
To answer your questions - users such as this bring something more valuable than ad money. They bring data. Google harvests data and metrics on users in a million ways, packages this up, and sells it for considerably more than they make on ads. In free services such as this, YOU are the product.
Ads suck, nobody wants to watch them, and they simply represent google maximizing shareholder value at every opportunity, as they are legally bound to do under American capitalism. YouTube ads are not a critical revenue stream that will make or break them.
Yay for their glorious, free trusted ssl certs. Love this project!
