ChatGPT was released in 2023 and we're still not out of the job for the most part. It doesn't feel slow but we might have these five to ten years.

I would guess that it's just a matter of context, I haven't used voice mode at all but I imagine you don't get full paragraphs from them but get something more conversational instead
You'd train them to give up on hard tasks which is the opposite of what these labs want
But how do you choose who gets to throw that die? /s
If you opt in it means that by default you're not in and you chose that option. So if you're now included in training by default, then it's an opt-out feature as in you can opt out of it.
From my understanding this is doable in a context like yours but if you want to run a business out of it you have to optimize it which requires this separation.

Pressuring open source maintainers is fine then.

They could avoid these patterns but there will always be some patterns so they probably judged that these aren't too bad.
But it needs more space to maneuver, a mostly flat ground, can't step over anything... It's simpler but less adaptable

Women would feel less safe yes but there is no evidence that crime and road accidents would increase.
I personally dislike all lowercase, to me it feels like not greeting someone but I don't get GP's argument either.

Plate waste is roughly a third of total food waste apparently.

They make a distinction between plate waste which was served then trashed and total food waste. Plate waste is roughly a third apparently.

Instead or in addition to following blogs, what I'd love to have is a way to filter out those I don't like.
Well, if you're supposed to administrate shocks to teach or test someone's memory, asking the question while they're screaming isn't just about protocol, it does break down the purpose of these shocks. Saying that participants did administrate shocks because they trusted the legitimacy of what they thought they were doing doesn't hold up under these circumstances.

Your detector did not work well on an AI-collab writing fiction project I did a while ago, tagged it as 100% human even with high confidence for the most part. But to be fair, most detectors weren't significantly better, although this one gave a justification that made sense https://aidetector.com/
