>The age of actually finishing side projects is here
This is a really good summary of how I've experienced AI put into words. I'm not really sure how this can be monetized though.
I'm not going to burn $200-1k per day on agents to do some side projects that have been on the back burner. The only reason I'm doing it now is the heavily subsidized or free available models all over the place.
How do you deal with the cost associated with a long running opus session? I asked it to validate some JSON configs against the spec yesterday and it burned $10 worth of tokens for what would have been a 1 millisecond linter task.
> Renting a private room was possible on nearly any wage 50 years ago
I think others pointed this out but I don't think you can find any data to prove this because its not true.
I'm not a historian but I have seen a number of old movies and in those movies it was very common for the characters to be some poor schlub with a full time job at the factory living in some sort of group home/flophouse situation. Movies tend to reflect stories that resonate with the public at the time so I suspect that is because this was a common situation. I'd much prefer a single roommate in an apartment to a flophouse.
50 years ago was 1976. I would be surprised if large numbers of adults in 1976 in the US were living in the same room as other adults, unless they were romantically involved.
Facebook admits around 10% of their ads are fraudulent. I think it's much higher.
The scam is even larger than you see and exploits missing children reports. There are huge automated scam networks that post missing children reports then get people to share them. Then once the post/ad gets traction they change it to a listing of a house that is auto pulled from public information. They then use that to scam people.
A leaked Facebook document showed they know which ads are fraudulent because the ad system is programmed to never show those ads to the ad regulators, and it's most of the ads.
To scam people out of some made up fee. Application fee, filing fee, holding fee, reservation fee., whatever BS they can get someone to send them a few bucks for since it's all free money to them.
Until there is legislation to simply ban data mining/reselling no companies are going to stop. The benefits to selling you out are simply too profitable and ignoring the hand slap laws/fines stops no one.
The biggest hindrance is that there is ZERO government desire to reign this in. Why? Because the government itself is one of the biggest customers of this data.
The government "fines" the company and immediately comes right back around to the checkout line and hands the same company piles of money for the exact same data they just fined them for selling. The company then just raises the price to make up the difference. I don't see any of this changing in the next 50 years.
Anyone happen to know what the arguments were from those who supported that bill?
Here's a summary. In late 2016 the FCC passed a rule that:
(1) applies the customer privacy requirements of the Communications Act of 1934 to broadband Internet access service and other telecommunications services,
(2) requires telecommunications carriers to inform customers about rights to opt in or opt out of the use or the sharing of their confidential information,
(3) adopts data security and breach notification requirements,
(4) prohibits broadband service offerings that are contingent on surrendering privacy rights, and
(5) requires disclosures and affirmative consent when a broadband provider offers customers financial incentives in exchange for the provider's right to use a customer's confidential information.
The bill, introduced early in 2017, nullifies that rule.
It passed the Senate 50-48, then the House of Representatives 215-205, and was signed by Trump.
The 52 Republicans in the Senate voted 50 yes, 0 no, 2 not voting. The 47 Democrats, along with the 1 independent, voted no.
In the House the 236 Republicans voted 215 yes, 15 no, 6 not voting. The 190 Democrats all voted no.
This sounds like a rant from a dysfunctional out of touch manager more than anything. From a 57 day old account here to pump AI because humans are terrible and not printing you lambos. Totally not a shill or anything. Humans = bad AI = good. Shill.
When you area asked specifics about how you use AI so effectively when others cannot you do not reply. Shill.
I've hired close to 200 people and 4 were bad apples that I had to fire. So no real life does not reflect what you wrote. Most people want to do a good job.
