I'm very curious about how much of it is re-using (remixing?) an existing browser implementation it has seen in the while or its trained on. Even in that case, 99% of all code isn't doing anything novel so this copying would still have significant practical use.

I’ve felt that as a general rule, every social media or blog post is a rule-for-self by its author


> The more I try to perfect it, the easier it becomes I have the opposite experience, once it goes off track, its nearly impossible to bring it back on message


How much have you experimented with it? For some stories I may generate 5 image variations of 10-20 different scenes and then spend time writing down what worked and what did not; and running the generation again (this part is mostly for research). It’s certainly advancing my understanding over time and being able to control the output better. But I’m learning that it takes a huge amount of trial and error. So versioning prompts is definitely recommended, especially if you find some nuances that work for you.


Two things: 1. The death toll has shown that this is the most indiscriminate bombings (Biden's own words) and deaths of civilians in recent memory. So, you could argue the tech is aiding in killing key civil infra staff

2. Sure, they can surveil, let them do it on their own data centers. It's actually strange that they would put such data/tech on a 3rd party data center to begin with.


They've been raising the alarm for months. If this extreme action is what it took Microsoft to look into genocide and then terminate the contract, it was absolutely the right call


Not that you're implying this, but making an "absolutely the right call" does not in any way shield one from consequences.

Heck, it's usually because one will be punished that doing the right thing is in any manner noble. Otherwise it's just meeting minimum expectations as a human.


After all, why would anyone want to work for a company which actively supports genocide.


What other country do you know of that can, with a wave of a hand, import a million highest-quality, ambitious people from across the globe? These folks aren't clamoring to go to other countries; this is the US position, and it was built with lots of hard work. With these changes, let's see how much this hurts in the foot.


Magic links are an order of magnitude safer than passwords, and the majority of regular users will never set up 2FA, so this raises the base safety for all


While the headline is focused Microsoft the bigger story is the wanton violation of human rights, privacy and using this data in risk scores which I’m certain gets used in automated kill chains by Israel.


Right. However this is a tech/science focused news site so let's keep it that way.


So it isn't tech focused, because that use of tech is a politically controversial and ethically questionable?

Yeah, no that is not how this works. We in tech also need to be able to talk about about how the systems we build impact the world. And if we only talk about the positive sides, we are not getting the full picture.


Storing phone calls en mass and using ai to target people based on what they say, is tech imho. This is like what Snowden revealed about PRISM, only stored on Microsoft’s servers and it’s used to kill people.


So why is it flagged?


They're all censored, try asking "mainstream" models about current genocides and see mental gymnastics.


I've seen this too! Any idea why or whats going on?
