Yes! At first there free, yes free, ISPs. Then remember when news sites didn't have pay walls? When every site wasnt loaded with ads and trackers? When Facebook, Twitter, or linkedin provided open data apis or rss? The enshittification came for it all because the bills were due.

Sure, but you'll have to pay for what it really costs

I have to wonder in this: how much of the revenue per worker boost in tech due to massive layoffs and coasting on momentum? Most tech workers I know do not describe a sustainable new environment with AI, but rather over-worked skeleton teams

I'm not a hard drive. Human care requires higher standards. Ignoring that is to put profit above human safety.

Thank you for being open to the feedback! Very cool work and well illustrated for wide audiences.

Nice website, thank you for sharing this interesting history! Can I please suggest: don't let Claude do the writing for you

I'm not talking about delivery drivers. https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/16/17243026/amazon-warehouse...

...and I am being generous by focusing on the pee instead of the deaths: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Amazon_worker_fataliti...

All of you talking about delivery times, cost, quality...I stopped shopping at Amazon when I heard people were peeing in bottles.

When the page/text is a pile of slop, why would I have faith that more care was taken in the code?

Pay. An. Artist.

These models are built on IP theft from artists who are now losing work to this slop. Even if you don't see the difference (rest assured, most of your audience will), the morality of it is terrible.

Don't forget to sort by color when you're done!

Nice post but they quickly disregard Dask, don't explain why, don't test it, even exclude it from the benchmark they quote. I don't know if is the better answer, but it seems worth testing if you want a balance approachable + scalable. That's kind the thing Dask was meant to do.

Cool, now show the public transit safety numbers.

Pretraining a frontier model is a one-time expense: 6,000 to 25,000 GPUs for one to four months, $5M to $150M depending on chip generation and luck.

> half of their ad spend was "wasted"

That would be a phenomenal ROI. In almost all advertising contexts the hit rate is far, far lower. Resulting in everyone drowning in ads to hit the few targets.

To the commenters saying, "but how will people/companies know what to buy?"... 1) Through the same high-quality information channels you usually use today: customer reviews, word of mouth, point of sale, and lived experience. For B2B, you could still have industry events or demos where it is essentially a physical opt-in for advertising. 2) I could not possibly care. The offsetting benefit of living in a world where I am not surrounded by messages trying to deceive me into spending money is well worth losing whatever tiny signal might be in that noise.

Why is this flagged?

Customer and/or musician rug pull in 3...2...

All those devs and data scientists and PhDs make a choice though. They could quit and work somewhere else. Even in a tough market their skills are in demand. They choose to work on this every morning.

I believe it is the other way around: the LLM decides the type of action and the input to the action; the code validates the permission to act and the acceptability of the input. But, yes it is very different than SQL injection in that way.

> We show prompt injections are driven by a flaw in how LLMs perceive roles.

LLMs don't "perceive roles", and that is exactly the problem.

Lol. I'm not sure this person has ever given an interview before

Human civilization? In this economy?

They routinely override the user-defined navigation to include whatever new content they are pushing. It was sold as an appliance without ads or subscription. Now it has become an ads platform that the user has less and less control over.

> unless you're Swiss, your opinion is irrelevant

Lol. Dude, sure the Swiss can vote however they want. But we all see you and can pass judgement on this thinly veiled anti-immigrant nonsense all day long. Respect it I will never.

I'm sure they are very proud of themselves for sneaking racist anti-immigrant policy in under the guide of left wing environmental rhetoric.

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Looking at WHO is pushing for change tells you most of what you need to know. Teachers? No. Students? No. Parents? Usually not. Technologists with something to sell? Bingo.

Ah yes, Pascal's mugging.
