Very carefully


What do you mean “but still…”? It’s a pretty important distinction. Meta does indeed use their massive GPU farms to train models and then release the weights for free and people indeed run inference on prosumer hardware


I think a rough analogy would be:

You’re a startup who keeps a payroll spreadsheet in Google Sheets and the Google recruiting team accesses that data to recruit your employees and decide how much to offer them.

There’s nothing wrong with Google trying to hire your employees, but it’s wrong for them to use your confidential data from another business unit to do so.


I must be still confused. The startup employee knows what their strike price was and here Carta was offering to hook them up with a buyer for those shares at price $X (which I presume is/was different than the strike price of the employee).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding? But that doesn't seem like they're sharing cap table data with anyone. They've found a buyer for the employee's shares at some price. Is it implied that they shared the cap table info with that buyer (i.e. the third party investor)?


The information that person X owns Y shares is private cap table info. Carta breached that privacy by using it for lead generation


I think "privacy" here is the wrong word. Carta owes some obligations to companies that sign up or their services (though they are vague and ambiguous).

But I hope people wake up to what they are agreeing to when they sign up as a user for Carta. Carta makes you agree that they owe you NO duty of confidentiality with respect to any information you submit into the service.


Don’t forget the guy who can’t make up his mind so he tries to be both a food snob and the voice of the people at the same time


You might say the same thing about doing research in general


It’s fun and I don’t care about censorship. Also there are no ads (for now)


Generative AI is almost always a service problem. If a model can offer customized art instantly 24/7 for free but the artist says you have to wait 3 months and it’ll cost 500 dollars and I only accept PayPal, then the model’s service is more valuable.


The chart shows child pedestrian deaths went from 1632 to 144. So a tenfold decrease. No idea about the stats on child pedestrianship but I’d be surprised if it was down 10 fold.


Why would you be surprised? Even in my lifetime the number of kids you see out and about has decreased dramatically, there's both a lot less to do outside and a lot more to do inside.


It’s also facially absurd to anyone uses Reddit beyond scrolling the front page.

Some malicious actor is fabricating 100 comments a day about the nitty gritty of the New York Times crossword?


Yeah if their AI commenting is all that good/convincing they should get out of social media and start the next trillion dollar company.
