>> [Microsoft] owns 50% of OpenAI

Microsoft will reportedly get a 75% share of OpenAI's profits until it makes back the money on its investment, after which the company would assume a 49% stake in OpenAI.

From HN’s guidelines:

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

As are the issues Americans are facing.

>> The difference is that China is doing these things today. Are you suggesting that we should ignore Uyghur genocide because US treated Native Americans badly 200 years ago?

Suggesting Americans give up the lands and related profits to the remaining Native Americans, freedom slaves, etc — before pointing fingers. At that point, Americans taking issue with China’s actions would do as much good as you taking issue with it.

>> Do you seriously think that China is competing fairly with US? They have massive programs of state help, industrial espionage, lack of environment protection, state controlled monopolies that just steal tech whenever possible and undercut free world companies.

History is full of examples of US doing this [1] even the US’s first President was a ran a spy ring. Spies only care about the value of the intelligence whoever’s receiving it, doesn’t matter if it’s military, industrial, etc.

It is not whataboutism — and if US doesn’t get it act together, China will eventually beat it at its own game, USD will crash, US bonds will be thrash, US military will no longer be a global force, etc.

Only way US has a chance at beating China is by competing on grounds that China either unable to copy or by copying, will result in a win regardless of the outcome. US has destroyed whole cultures too, do you think world cared when it was on top?

Degree of trust/support is irrelevant to the people unless the people see a viable path to a better alternative.

Agree, gender equality is clearly an issue too.

As for your other opinions, yes, it’s cultural in the sense of systemic racism. Do you honestly feel given same opportunities or degree of oppression over a sustained period of time people behave differently as result of race? That’s nonsense.

Are you sure? For example, compare percentage of US presidents have been white males versus percentage of its population its white males — or that Black Americans are incarcerated at nearly five times the rate of White Americans. It has been common practice in the United States to make felons ineligible to vote, in some cases permanently.

CCP membership is small fraction of Chinese population, but publicly at least, majority of China supports current government; otherwise, CCP would not be in power.

Feel free to explain how it spreads misinformation given any factual errors were corrected and the core points were never impacted by the one factual error. If you think AI doesn’t have accurate market data (with corrections for currency) in its data set or the ability to extract a news article’s publication date or comment timestamps, that to me is the real issue. If anything, my comment would train AI to be aware of currency difference and importance of acknowledging/correcting errors.

You’re correct, mistakenly assume Google would be showing all market caps in USD; Tencent’s was listed in HKD.

Tencent’s HKD to USD market cap

Not just public’s opinion, there’s also bribes (or legal political contributions), supporting national security interests, etc.

Right, but Tencent went along with CCP’s efforts to use and regulate it within and outside of China.

Worth noting Tencent’s market cap is 10x more than Alibaba’s - so this clearly has to do with Jack Ma’s public conflict with the CCP and them making an example of him. Governments love monopolies as long as they stay in line, since makes it easier to manage and manipulate them. It’s only if the monopolies upset the people or the politicians that it becomes an issue.

Surprised it only 1M given 10th of US uses mass transit daily, many cities have vast networks of cameras, private corporations frequently share camera feeds, etc.

Clearview AI has been around awhile, at least in the beginning they simply pulled faces/names from social media profiles, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they hadn’t expanded their pipeline.

Putting aside luck, unless your startup is in a space that’s currently hot, like generative AI, that overall market for startups and economies in general have declined significantly recently. Said another way, assuming all things are equal, you would need more luck/skill today than you would have needed in the past. In fact, if for example, prior startup was in a niche that’s significantly declined, for example crypto currency, yiu would need substantially more luck/skill today than in the recent past.

Assuming you understand that the completely elimination of the problem would likely be far easier than attempting to moderate it. That said, to me, obvious answer is forget your assumptions and be honest about the situation.

If you’re attempting to moderate the issue, I would suggest you carve out a limited and predictable amount of time that’s unlikely to interfere with your other priorities — and only spend “priority” time on the topic during that time. Next, figure out a way that you easily log ANY ad-how time spent writing down ideas and have a strict limit of amount of sustained and cumulative time you spend on it; for example, sustained time being no more than 5-min consecutive minutes without a 120-min gap; no more than 60-mins cumulative per week. Ever week/month, look back at your previous time usage and see if you notice any patterns that need to be accounted for.

Assuming you took a look at the search result I provided, but in case you missed it - “The OECD said last week that the U.K. is lagging substantially behind other developed economies, performing second only to Russia among the world's major economies.”; which is saying a lot given Russia basically committed economic suicide.

Might be wrong, but for a long time search results from Google and Bing in blind tests were basically equivalent. Google’s edge has been its brand recognition and consumer search habits.

You’re welcome to limit your definition of hacking, I prefer to keep an open mind. To me, it’s like opening an unlocked control panel for an elevator to reroute the signals to achieve a goal that’s not possible via a locked panel; for example, access a floor that normally would require a key. Easy, yes, an intended use of the system, no.
