Basically the idea is “if they’re coming back anyway, we might as well make it easy for them”.

What exactly is the non-predatory half of that?

There are incredible restaurants in Australia for sure, but there isn’t really a national cuisine identity overall, distinct from the Anglosphere in general. Of course there are some distinctly Australian foods, but the largest category is basically “European dish with some native/local ingredient” - which can be extremely delicious but isn’t really that different from e.g. NZ, or even North America, and basically all comes from French and English restaurant culture. Aboriginal food culture isn’t really celebrated at all (beyond what I mentioned above) and even the immigrant food cultures which are more beloved (e.g. Greek and Italian) haven’t really fused into the mainstream, but are still largely relegated to the “cheap takeaways” category. So idk. On the one hand, you’re totally right that you can get awesome food, but I think the criticism stems from a valid place even if the people who parrot it don’t really know what they’re talking about.

Well, first of all, the max subscription is going to cost 10k a month, so jot that down

If you have any small wounds, e.g. in your gums, mucosa, etc, yes there are.

I wasn’t really disputing the numbers per se (although I do actually find it hard to believe 17% of workers pay for AI subscriptions…) but more wondering about, given that their combined revenues are somewhere around 50 billion USD, what the consequences of such a large fraction of that coming from heavily subsidised consumer use would be.

These numbers seem somewhat mysterious to me, this would account for like 2-3% of all anthropic+openai’s revenue. I’m not sure exactly what that would mean but that can’t be good (for those companies) given how much those subscriptions are subsidised.

Big same

I want to live in a world where food producers are held to safety standards… Oh wait, I do, in Europe many normal cheeses are made from unpasteurised milk and we’re not generally getting sick from them. There are plenty of huge corporate nationwide/continent-wide camembert producers in France… They still have to obey food safety laws.

I don’t know if it’s required (I would guess it is) but in France at least cheese is labelled depending on whether it was made from raw or pasteurised/cooked milk (fromage à pâte ‘crue’ or ‘cuite’ respectively). Many of the most common cheeses (eg camembert) are made from raw milk and people aren’t getting sick all the time, but pregnant people are recommended not to eat those.

Yes lol it’s a big thing in NZ too amongst crunchy conspiracy types

Yes, clearly your individual experience represents your entire generation better than a peer reviewed study in a reputable medical journal.

Only while you’re actively drunk, it makes it harder the rest of the time.

It’s rare that “not very accurate” and “expensive” are both acceptable together in a tool. They fail on two axes of the fast/good/cheap spectrum so I still think it’s an extremely niche tool, unlike a hammer which still fulfills an extremely common need for relatively little money.

Kinda sounds like most tools

Most tools do have obvious uses, like screwdrivers.

They are a tool but they aren’t really like any other. They’re only rarely useful and have massive negative externalities.

The pentagon doesn’t need any excuse for missing money, they aren’t audited, the missing money is out in the open

Orrrrr… They and everyone else have had twenty-five years to consider your nonsense and it’s boring and distracting from important things

Even the language “training”, although I know it’s a term of art which has been used for decades, seems to imply some degree of cognition which isn’t representative of the facts.

wtf i like claude now?

Have you seen the supreme court? He does have a chance. Of course the fact that he’s not in the supreme leader’s favor counts against him, but if he’s got any money left a little donation to Clarence has worthwhile odds of sorting him out.
