Claiming Taiwan has nothing to do with the CHIPS. China's stance on Taiwan never changes since 1949, before Integrated Chips were patented by Texas Instruments in 1958.

No, but your IP is likely logged.

And I bet anyone who pulled it while on Starlink will lose their account and get a strongly worded letter.

well he's just incompetent. worst evil award goes to eric schmidt

It's hype in the sense that there isn't mass adoption. Most users quit after a month. Also magicleap is a total disappointment.

Hell no. I've been remote since before the pandemic, and I'll never take a full time in-person job again. This is pure propaganda.

can you imagine to level of the mind that dreamt this up?

works for me

It will be much more difficult for people to opt out this way and they know it.

This is something called “administrative burden,” which is having to deal with a bunch of red tape and general bullshit to exercise your rights or receive benefits for which you qualify. It’s usually associated with dealing with government programs but it happens a lot in the private sector too.

We absolutely do not force companies to pay for time worked in all cases. Have you heard of a salaried employee? In the case of Meta, this is almost exclusively what we’re discussing here — and in the vast majority of WFH cases as well.

So in this utopia where all employers need to pay for you to get to their office, how far away is a reasonable commute? Do we now start to have federal restrictions around that? What if someone lives 5 mins away vs 60? What’s the limit? What if I want to commute 5 hours each way every day? They have to pay me for it?

Non-combative, serious note here, I get why everyone routinely points to the data surrounding productivity for WFH and agree with all of it, there’s a problem with it though — it’s massively skewed and we’re starting to see the flaws in it. The vast majority of the pop. from those studies have previous in office experience, particularly onboarding/training. We don’t have enough studies about fresh from school performance, we’re looking into them internally, and results are fairly off putting.

I work for a fully remote company that was previously closer to a hybrid model. We’ve been doing research into the onboarding, ramp up, and performance of new college grads with no previous in-office experience. Overall, they’re not performing as expected — to sum it up best, they float. Training costs have now gone up (more resources allocated for: pair programming, being ‘available’ to simulate the over the cubicle “hey quick question” kind of stuff, longer onboarding timeframes). It’s working, but guess what, it kinda sucks. Makes me not want to waste time on younger hires (which is the opposite of my hiring preferences in the past).

I can totally see why C suite are getting sick of this stuff. Again, I’m not going back in office myself ever, but that might mean switching companies at some point to stay WFH— and that’s my decision to be able to make.

Well, then the EU just fines them 4% of their global revenue every 20 days until they comply.

At this point it’s safe to say everything we’re typing, messaging, communicating is being stored in some form and loaded into a database of sorts.

Probably, but we won't so I'm safe

The article also says that the Italian agency is mad that OpenAI isn't collecting a lot more private data to determine the age of users.

I wonder if they will try to tack on charges or downgrade functionality as a result of less monetization.

You could train a chimpanzee to do that...

If you read the article, its about user account data and not the training data.

Have fun adapting to something that is going to be faster and smarter than all of humanity combined.

Same source as all redditors... He made it up.

The law is shitty for sure, but not how this guy is thinking. It's shitty because it was written poorly, not because the "guvment comin to get ya"

From the point of view of someone employed in manufacturing, it's hilarious to read about people freak out about the remote chance they have to go into the office once or twice a week.

As far as I know EU legislation states that data collection for Europeans by default is opt-in. When are the American companies going to get this?

Werent billionaires just crying about the birthrate declines and how they will be low in meat for the grinder? Now AI is a problem because it will cut jobs and create unemployment??

I think theres some butthurt piss babies throwing a tantrum because their AI isnt ready

Why would anyone accept this treatment just to access garbage?
