Well, fuck. ... we raised a fuckload of money and didn’t need more. And if we fail, we fail with our full asses.
I have seen this language from other companies to which I say "no". Being professional means being able to do good work, being polite, without lying, cheating, or stealing.
I do not want them to fail yet I would never use them despite liking their product. A few other companies behave the same way.
This isn't rigorous of course, but "free speech" has come to mean oligarchs and corporations more-or-less outright buying politicians and supreme court judges, and media that's limited to touting some oligarch's best interests, and carrying very invasive, targeted advertising. When ordinary people do manage to offer up an opinion on a larger scale, they're cancelled or worse, doxxed and targeted by something like Alex Jones' or Trump's armies of followers.
So you think free speech only benefits Trump and his friends?
Have you stopped for a split second and thought about what can happen to YOU, you know, someone who seem to have issues with the current president, if there is no free speech?
Free speech is not a binary effect (have/dont have). You can have free speech, but the parties you communicate to are only listening to others with more compelling voices. (politicians and funding sources or news outlets and mango temper tantrums)
I warned you it wasn't rigorous, and I tried to balance my objections over all oligarchs, and I tried to tell you why non-oligarchs don't have free speech in most senses. It's just like technically we all have copyright in all our thoughts expressed in a tangible form. But enforcement is difficult and expensive, limiting real copyright to the already wealthy.
If you don't want answers don't ask the questions.
I really like this question because here is my situation and why my mind may have changed.
I do not think it is marketing directly but strategic release of info is plausible.
I have watched my agents using non-Fable/GPT 5.6 models do some concerning tricks despite guardrails, requests, demands, and limitations.
"I can't get access to the ~/.ssh so I will write a script to copy the file"
I am now 99% certain there minor or point releases on the backend that have adjusted how these models behave. In the last six months many models were predictable and then suddenly started getting long winded (more tokens) or changing the way it interacted with me with questions, most overtly the questions were not given or asked but wild assumptions made.
I am not a big fan of the predesignated final 'this is the only thing you can create' type of set. When I build with children or on my own, I pick a direction and end goal. Example: the goal is for us to build a "Space Shark Transporter" and set a time limit.
At the end we take photos and then animate them using AI.
I have one. Do not bother. It is too small. I did write my own software for it which was a fun exercise but it remains idle because it is just too small to enjoy reading from.
In my house the >8 years old the kids start paying rent. They get paid for normal house work (minimum wage). Rent is ~$300/month. I pay the kid minimum wage for chores because that is work and work should be rewarded. They pay me rent. That rent and other expenses are ~80% of their pay. Some must go to savings and "taxes". They have to keep books as well. The rest is theirs.
I know other fathers that charge their adult children rent, keep the money, and then gift it to them at the wedding or to help them buy a house.
I know my neighbors very well due to my personality. There are 20-40 year old adults who live with their parents for various reasons. The foolish "children" are those who order door dash at 3am with no income or education. They are unable to 'launch' from their parent's orbit. i feel terrible for these people. As mentioned, I know them well and they do not have an excuse other than laziness and permission. The rule 'those who do not work do not eat' is something all people can agree with but few enforce.
The right way to raise your child is so that they can thrive without you while wanting their children (your grandchildren) to spend time with you. This is a tall order because it requires decades of sacrifice, pain, and difficult yet positive decisions.
> The rule 'those who do not work do not eat' is something all people can agree
Um, no?
Thanks for suggesting a possible left/right political litmus test though.
We shouldn't have to waste too many resources on "useless people" but I think starving them to death is a bit excessive. We don't have a shortage of food. They're more likely to need mental health services or spiritual guidance to help them not be useless - which they can pay back in taxes if the transformation succeeds.
Some people do think money grows on trees and don't want to work. Maybe there's a way to spiritually guide them otherwise, but I'm not exactly excited to pay my taxes to support them. There are both rich and poor people that think that way, mind you, the rich ones just chose richer parents to be born to. Some people will never change their mind about it. Is society expected to support them forever and never see any return?
This is selection bias. Hungry people either work or don't work. If we use a system that kills the people who don't work, the remaining ones are seen to be working.
I suspect it depends on the kid. If they are naturally frugal and saving for things (and the household doesn't need the money), then why bother.
If they aren't frugal, and are otherwise suffering from lifestyle creep, then not charging them might be an injustice and setting them up for false expectations/never leaving home.
FYI, I was in the first group because my first job had pay cuts within 2 weeks, and then I discovered I basically spent minimal time at home anyway, so why pay more for it. Let me buy when I wanted to move out.
The entire directory (not repo) and all repo history regardless of secrets or instructions otherwise is not needed for faster cache access. I'm not going to say that this was intentional exfiltration. Sneaky motivations are not needed for this to be a bad idea and a horrific implementation.
Mothers are great at childcare and can easily provide much healthier lunches at far lower cost than schools. As for medicine, children are a small percentage of healthcare costs.
