You should understand what this is in response to, though. The commenter advocates opacity for the sake of not being treated like a machine. The ideal solution is for people to not treat you like a machine, but things aren’t always ideal.

But what's a better way to be seen as machine than to become an opaque black box? And unpredictable black box isn't seen as somehow not a machine; it's seen as a broken machine.

Do unions work against corporate mergers? I’d imagine they do as they tend to work against corporate interests in general but I’m not that well versed in this sort of history.

Antitrust law does. That requires a government that cares to enforce the law.

It probably depends on the corporations. If a merger would result in all of the union’s employees being laid off, of course the union would fight it.

Unions tend to work for people.

If you think that working for people is against corporate interests then I think we should just be dine with corporations.

I like people!

Depends on the union and the laws under which they operate.

They must’ve forgot who created the first tech hype bubbles in the first place bc I’m about to replace some of these companies if I don’t get hired soon

This is his ORCID profile, which lists his grants and published works:

Hacking GTA V’s graphics pipeline to get access to the depth buffer, so I can feed it into a self-driving machine learning model. There’s already tools that do this (ReShade & other DX11 hooks) but I want to learn how to do this in general for other types of data & processes.

On a personal note, I’ve been trying to lean into my fears more. Disassembling binary was always something I knew would be helpful to know but I kind of avoided, so I think this is helps with that a little.

As someone who’s excited to see this happen eventually, it’s not happening anytime soon. Combinatorial optimization techniques are far better suited for this and methods created 50 years ago run laps around LLMs

Sure, thanks for bringing it up. Short-range flights should have a higher higher threshold for permitted use in service of the environment.

Please, ask more questions.

Unfortunately short of making a startup or monetizing projects it’s hard to get paid purely from the fundamentals

As an unhired junior, I think this stems from a lack of unions and the ability of the workforce to make demands of capital (e.g. to prevent offshoring or discriminatory hiring processes)

I think the point is, can a farm animal do this?

If this is what gives life meaning in the universe, you can’t deny that we’re snuffing it out at an industrial scale.
