Is it? X just follows the country’s applicable laws right?
Also the EU is not exactly innocent or a better authority - see the interference recently in Romania’s elections, where they literally annulled the votes cast by citizens, banned a candidate, and reran the elections so they would get the desired result.
I can certainly imagine email correspondence. Even audio interviews. You're right that it seems at least presently AI is less likely to earn confidences. But I don't know how far off the movie "Her" actually is.
For many of our google searches, the first results tend to be wikipedia, instagram, etc... We click on those clicks and both google and the clicked website get a share of our traffic. So it is somewhat fair.
But in current AI situation, wikipedia, nytimes, stackoverflow etc are getting a pretty unfair deal. Probably all major text based outlets are seeing a drop in their numbers now...
I think there should be some serious changes about this. Github already knows which software packages a company uses. They could facilitate this. For example if the OSS maintainer asks for it, any company more than say three members should pay a monthly fee per package. Even 1 USD per package per month would make a huge difference for OSS. So if your javascript package.json has 20 dependencies, and you are actively developing, every month you should expect to pay 20USDfor that package.json.
I know the math above can be challenged from multiple aspects. But we need to start from somewhere.
Then suddenly a company paying more will feel like their demands are worth more than random Joey’s demands, and soon the backlog of the project is the company’s backlog and the maintainer will be treated as an employee with nonsensical deadlines and fixed long hours.

The proliferation of tiny NPM packages is bad enough already. It will only be made worse by the cobra effect.
There are many digital marketing executives who are banned to advertise on Facebook. FB decides they did something wrong once, and now they cannot advertise anymore. So effectively they cannot find a job in digital advertising because Meta wants you to use your personal account for advertising even when you are working for a company.
This needs to stop. Maybe this could be moved under the scope of "EU Digital Markets Act" with some effort.
I hope github would start allowing all users to use ip whitelisting features. I understand it is a sell point for enterprise accounts, but tokens/passwords are not secure enough in today's environment.
Pre-internet, MD's main job was to use their memory to comb through an immense level of knowledge and find the best fitting explanation for a patient's complaints. A pretty hard task, mostly suitable for very smart people.
Now with internet, it is a process waiting to be disrupted. I would say it is already over due.
As you said, this is a milestone long overdue. The next frontier of transformative success in the medicine should come from finding novel, effective treatments to common chronic diseases.
We need to harness AI/AGI in all possible capacities to help us approach this goal.
The most common chronic diseases can be prevented effectively through proper diet, physical activity, and avoidance of toxins (substance abuse). This is not novel, it has been known for a long time. (Of course there are a minority of patients who just have bad genetics and will suffer from chronic diseases regardless of their lifestyle choices.)
AI technologies are already being applied to some phases of the drug development process. But the low-hanging fruit has mostly already been picked. The odds are low of AI ever finding a miracle drug that mimics the effects of good diet and exercise. The main bottleneck in drug development is phase-3 clinical trials, and AI can't help much with that.
As for AGI, we're not making any visible progress towards that goal. So don't count on it being available in our lifetimes.

Why is everything in this space about disruption?
Doctors use the Internet all the time. One of my kids is a resident in internal medicine and uses it regularly to find information. Example: videos of medical procedures.
ChatGPT and LLMs in general look like a great extension to existing search. But it still needs somebody to keep an eye on it to ensure it's not confidently spouting bullshit. This looks like something that needs to be carefully controlled (read: regulated) if you want to avoid very serious consequences for unlucky patients.
Today I experienced just the opposite. Chatgpt answered some business questions in less than a minute. I would have spent 30 mins in seo optimized sites to find the exact same info.
To speak to GP's point, a number of times already I've failed to find something immediately on Google, asked chatgpt, gotten an answer and then used Google to verify chatgpt's answer.
Google is great if you already know exactly what you're looking for, for a lot of topics chatgpt is already better than Google if you don't
This is self-evidently false; there is plenty of indexed content on the web generate by publicly available LLMs, including OpenAI’s GPT series, and open source implementations of similar technology.
Maybe even more generated by the non-publicly-available ones some firms have for their own use.
It's only a matter of time before ChatGPT is monetized to slip in some paid content, similar to product placement. Until then, I'm sure bright minds are already working on ways to ensure it feeds on data tainted with their own agendas.
Before deleting your account it would be good measure to update passwords to passwords you don't really use. You never know if deleted data is deleted from db as well.
For sure but we also don’t know how much “effective dated” data they store. If a backup from 3 months ago is leaked… what the pw on the acct was the day you deleted it won’t matter.
"FTX periodically uses a portion of its profits to buy back FTT tokens. This makes FTT kind of like stock in FTX: The higher FTX’s profits are, the higher the price of FTT will be."
I think this is an interesting alternative to equity vesting. Not all countries have laws that make equity vesting possible. Also this could work if you are a US company and hiring from all abroad. You can give tokens to your employers abroad, keep the token valuable as long as the company is profitable. What do you think?
It could work, but the moment FTX started allowing FTT to be put down as collateral on multi-hundred million dollar liabilities, the entire house of cards fell apart.
