BRICS and OPEC are two very different things. Except one country in BRICS, the remaining ones are oil importers. They would gladly get rid of that dependency for national security reasons alone.
> How often have you read a headline, and then not clicked on the link?
Somewhat related - I have clicked a lot more on Axios articles which I know are 2-5 minute reads, compared to other long form articles where the author wanted to write a novella. Infact I look forward to reading Axios articles which I know are well written, compared to others which are of varying quality, so less inclination to click.
It might, she just sees a lot of tech workers given the area and she's the "get to know you" kind of dentist so she's not just guessing who has what career.
Whatsapp chats are encrypted, how can they be used to train the models? Also what kind of training can be done on Instagram data, is there anything of value there?
While they claim E2E encryption, I seriously doubt they would offer this service entirely for free with having some backdoor or potential MITM breach that they likely tucked away in the ToS given the wide use of it it most of the World who pay for SMS/text messages: it just seems so incredibly unlikely to be entirely encrypted from a company that willing gave DMs to Netflix, used Cambridge Analytica etc... But even if it is encrypted, the meta data generated can tell you a lot too--as was the case with Pokemon GO--that may not directly benefit LLMs, but could help with creating dark patterns that make your AI companion (under the guise of an LLM) the 'must own' when deciding who to buy tokens/compute from.
Speculative for sure, but just look at the Twitter file leaks revealing how social media platforms willing work alongside intelligence agencies.

You don't have to trust Metas self-regulation, but you best believe the EU does not fuck around on such issues. Self-preservation is a hell of a motivator.

Billions of comments and private messages; billions of data points on user behavior and (more importantly) how they respond to manipulative UI/UX/content... Nothing useful there??
I'm genuinely curious how does that data help. What would the prompts be like? "Help me design an addictive UX"? How do comments like birthday wishes or people posting their beach pictures and people replying with how good they look add any kind of value to the ML model training? Those conversations would be in larger quantity than any that discuss anything meaningful.
In Parliamentary system this is somewhat equivalent to "hung parliament" and usually results in re-elections. Governments must prove minimum support to pass legislations before they can claim to be "in charge"
We deliberately designed it this way, to prevent one party from having too much control.
Instead, we have no control. The legislature is effectively useless. The executive branch continues on, under not-always-clear authority. The judicial branch can easily throw a wrench into that authority, often more for political reasons than legalistic ones.
Yeah almost all finance apps do. Used to work at Robinhood and this was actually my feature, otherwise we'd just see ridiculous levels of fraud and have to end up eating the cost of it.
I used to own a pixel phone and loved it. What made me move was the data collection, and to some extent lack of security updates on older models. Feature wise, I still like Android over iOS.
> hoping that turning cars will see you and not mow you down. Pretty sure this is what is going to kill me
I saw an accident in front of my eyes where this played out - a turning car mowed an elderly couple crossing slowly with the help of walking sticks. It was not pretty.
Notably this is a cultural and sentencing problem. Killing pedestrians in a crosswalk should be vehicular manslaughter with serious prison time attached.
Perpetrators tend to be let off easily for cultural reasons. That's the real problem that needs to be addressed.
Drivers will respect pedestrians when the law is evenly enforced
