Have you tried UFO 50?

I haven't. I'm a huge fan of Derek Yu though, so I need to!

> I don't think most companies can resist the allure of more free data as bitter as it may taste.

Mercor, Surge, Scale, and other data labelling firms have shown that's not true. Paid data for LLM training is in higher demand than ever for this exact reason: Model creators want to improve their models, and free data no longer cuts it.

I did read or listen on a podcast about the booming business of AI data sets late last year. I'm sure you are right.

Doesn't change my point, I still don't think they can resist pulling from the "free" data. Corps are just too greedy and next quarter focused.

"Paid data," in the sense of cheap text, is a mature industry, and you can have as much as you want for pennies per word.

I get your point, but that was the exact logic of Effective Altruism and Sam Altman is now jailed for the Largest Fraud of All Time. It's a slippery slope.

Sam Bankman-Fried. And I think he’s a bit of a special case, others do not need to be worried they’ll succumb to multi billion dollar fraud schemes if they try to earn-to-give.

I'm not defending SBF, but I think you may not be completely taking into account how strong the pressures are on someone like that. I'm pretty sure he didn't set out to commit a multi-billion dollar fraud, he was sucked into it as a consequence of the expectations on him and so forth. My point here is just that this is a symptom of a societal problem, and SBF is just a well-positioned scapegoat.

SBF was really unusual in that he claimed to be a pure expected-utility maximiser. He admitted that he would take 51% coin-flips forever on Conversations with Tyler in March 2022, long before everything blew up:

> COWEN: Then you keep on playing the game. So, what's the chance we're left with anything? Don't I just St. Petersburg paradox you into nonexistence?

> BANKMAN-FRIED: Well, not necessarily. Maybe you St. Petersburg paradox into an enormously valuable existence. That's the other option.

I'm not saying the pressures are absent, but they are hopefully vastly less compelling for any normal person with a more standard view of risk and utility. ("Sure, I'll just cover up this little bit of fraud, because that's got a better than 50% chance of success" is a course of action SBF all but said he would take, months in advance!)

If you have a billion dollars to give me, I'm pretty sure I can manage to not to use them for outright crypto fraud. You'd have to give me a billion dollars to be sure, but I promise really hard.

Freudian slip?

In no way am I defending Palantir, but literally any random official or intern could've created this with any random AI generation model. It's not like the government is requiring people use any kind of ACLs or officially approved software to do stuff anymore.

For those that don't know even more, this interview never happened and this interviewer doesn't exist. It's a funny joke on the internet.

If the candidate didn't even show up to an interview, they're definitely not worth hiring. :p

Palantir, arguably the closest thing to Torment Nexus Inc. IRL, literally builds a product that does this.

It's doing well, TODAY. 6% daily bumps are big but they happen all the time. Look at its performance over the past year for a better picture.

The restaurant doesn't choose the prices DoorDash displays, DoorDash does.

Are you sure about that? I thought the restaurant does. On DoorDash's Help page (https://help.doordash.com/merchants/s/article/How-to-Maximiz...) There's a quote: "To provide a high-quality experience for all of our customers, we set prices on DoorDash the same as our in-store prices. DoorDash even enables operators to set different pricing for delivery and pickup, but a core part of us providing high-quality customer service is accomplished through our consistent menu pricing." - Manuel Bucio, Owner, Razpachos" That seems to indicate the restaurant sets the prices.

You really think Doordash sets individual prices for each dish for the half million restaurants that it lists on its service? It is a simple platform. The restaurant sets up and manages its own menu, and Doordash takes a cut of the final sale.

Based on the fact that other platforms like GrubHub hijacked Google Places registrations for restaurants and also presented menus of non-customer restaurants in the platform, yes, I would not be surprised at all if that type of shenanigans were going on at DoorDash as well.

Without taking any sides here, the most liberal estimate of Palestinian casualties, coming from the Palestinian Health Authority, don't break 70,000 Palestinian deaths TOTAL. Where did you get these numbers from?

That is not an accurate estimate, that is the number of bodies that they have managed to count. If people are stuck under rubble or are otherwise "lost" without leaving an identifiable body then they don't go into the official count. And as you can imagine the ability of Palestinian authorities to count bodies is significantly diminished since Israel has destroyed so much infrastructure. We'll only learn of the true number when this genocide finally ends. And then we'll all be shocked and surprised and can join the German civilians after WO2 in saying "Wir haben es nicht gewusst".

Discord servers are the closest. People do build up friendships, relationships, enemyships, and a public persona / reputation within a Discord server.

My limited experience with discord was either no activity at all, or so much activity it’s hard to follow what’s going on.

I suppose I never found the right place

Discord is centralized, heavily censored, and surveilled, so it can’t serve this purpose for many communities (such as most of the ones in which I participate).
