We’re in a “vibecession,” Joyce Chang, JPMorgan’s chair of global research, said at the CNBC Financial Advisor Summit in May.
Apparently somebody is saying that. From JPMorgan. Do with that what you will.
The USA is the leading tiktok-using country, I'll give them that. But according to this statista page, the following three countries already double the total of USA users.
That means ByteDance stands to lose way more by divesting themselves of TikTok than losing their USA audience. Not only are they isolating themselves diplomatically and economically from the rest of the world, now they're backing down in hubris culturally as well.
Although I really dislike the TikTok business model for obvious reasons, banning it on USA territory is going to be really nice for the whole TikTok ecosystem.
So, when poor oppressed Americans are going to start getting VPNs to escape their Great Firewall?
Because this whole thing pissed me off a lot when it was approved, have the webpage of the bill for this law. Note how it passed unanimously in the senate.
Note that it also restricts property ownership for people from Russia, Syria, Venezuela, DPR Korea and Cuba.
Note also how vague the wording is on the definition of a "foreign principal".
It also requires those "foreign principals" that already own property to register themselves with the state government.
source. Some of the usual anti-communist historical lies in the text, but surprisingly lucid WP.
I have no issue with it, but tinder and similar apps are intentionally made to be addictive and ineffective. I once downloaded it just to check it out with zero dating intentions, ended up spending every free minute swiping left because my pigeon brain really likes scrolling regardless of what's being scrolled.
You'd be surprised how many Yankee "leftists" aren't aware of basic stuff like the Radio Frees, the current indigenous genocide, school to prison pipeline, or the sanctions against the "authoritarian" AES countries (causing a lot of their real issues), among many others, and are very willing to side with their own meddling against countries that are actually trying something because they might be "not true socialism." Even if all accusations against Cuba or China (I don't know that much about Vietnam or DPRK) were correct, they'd still be the lesser evil by a long shot.
There were other visits too, but NATO countries are mostly intentionally boycotting the investigation. I'm pretty sure any person who can do tourism in China can go there so long as they don't break laws. But I remember a recent article where NATO countries were advising against travelling there, for mysterious reasons.
What does that even mean, though? It seems they're basically just committing to safe and reasonable technological development. Yeah, that's impossible under capitalism because stock line must go up, but it seems like they're conflating reviving Karl Marx as an AI with just not letting their chatbots spout nonsense.
To be fair, I have no idea how the AI world looks like in China, but elsewhere AI can mean anything from a linear regression to complex logical inference systems. With how shallow the newscorp coverage of their developments is, I'm never even sure if they're talking about LLMs or just automated logistics tools.
“This is a pretty significant set of responsibilities, and will make it hard for smaller companies without an existing compliance and censorship apparatus to offer services,” said Toner.
As if smaller companies ever had a chance with competing on this area in the first place, with the sheer amount of data and infrastructure required to put something like that online. Even the biggest companies need to do shit like this.
They aren't "programmed" to do something, they just produce likely text. If it somehow "learned" from portions of the data to threaten to dox people in circumstances like this, it just replicates that. The programmers themselves likely never saw that portion of the corpus with 4chan bickering, since the dataset is usually impossibly large.
Even the byzantines hated their "fellow westerners" who came over, took their capital and declared themselves the "actual Roman empire" in Latin while the actual Romans resisted their occupation. On side note even studying the story of Math you get this fun phenomenon where a bunch of Mediterranean mathematicians develop a lot of cool stuff, then a 1000 years of silence (because Europe did nothing of value) and then suddenly after the Crusades they mysteriously "discover" a whole lot more math that sounds awfully similar to Arabic and Indian concepts. It usually goes Pytagoras -> Zeno -> Archymedes -> ?????? -> Euler
Would be great to have something similar to the reddit masstagger where we can moderate a list of known federated troll accounts. I don't mind getting harassed on the internet that much but it would help out to see at a glance if the comment is coming from a known asshole. Might even help being less on edge towards the normal people out there.
Adorable. Cute. Have a cookie and go play with the other kids. 🍪
Please, do! It gets so tiring seeing all of those AI data "scientists" believing they can say whatever they want about fields they know jack about because "the p-value is low." They're the biggest reason I decided to quit.
German government coalition collapsed (because a third of the coalition wanted more austerity) and Scholz immediately went to call Putin, if you want more evidence of low discipline.
