can you elaborate a bit on this? How much do other companies pay for, say, a 30 second slot promoting their product?
I'm not in the monetization business yet, but I'm thinking about creating a YT channel and stream some DIY/hardware related things, so I'm genuinely curious on how much such sponsors really pay.
I have compensated hundreds to thousands of dollars to content creators to promote my products and have had content creators ask for thousands up front. It really depends on channel size and market. It also depends on what deliverables are being asked for. Logo on screen, 30 second advertisement reading, link in description, pinned comments, accompanying social media post, etc. Some content creators will haggle on all the pieces while others will accept a flat rate for a typical package deal of deliverables.
I haven’t looked into each case here, but I assume these are a bunch of non-violent drug offenders serving years and decade-long sentences. I see 30 years for “possession with intent to distribute”. That’s just crazy.
When the justice system is clearly broken, it’s ok to subvert it.
There's some value to "the President can correct some wrongs". There are genuine miscarriages of justice sometimes and it's kinda nice to have a release valve for them.
The recent presidential immunity decision just made the downsides way more likely.
Justice is a moving target mate. Should people who had a few pounds of reefer still be serving 30 year sentences? 90's adults would probably say yes. Today? Not so much. Part of being human is being open to the fact you were wrong. The Pardon is the release valve that lets the Chief Executive remove the targets the System has painted on people's backs in response to a clear shift in public conscience. The public in recent history, threw all prudence to the wind and put a con man in office. Surprise, surprise when a con man uses the office to do what con men do.
It’s an alternative to coups and civil wars. The deal made in private conversations is something like “Give up power peacefully. Everybody gets pardoned and goes home to their families. Nobody needs to do anything crazy or violent out of desperation to avoid prison.”
I feel like Hanselman is one of the few old generation Microsoft people. When he leaves it’ll be young people who don’t know Microsoft and have no understanding of or connection with Microsoft products.
I don't know about his career in general, but Hanselman once spoke at a conference I was helping organize here in Thessaloniki, and he was great. Really knowledgeable and very down to earth.
By that logic, LLMs would be essentially useless considering the amount of garbage that exists on the internet. And, honestly, for things like this they are. But they're not marketed as such, and _that_ is the problem.
Meh. I’m no particular fan of Altman but there’s nothing in this article particularly surprising or terrible.
The whole AI safety thing has always seemed extreme to me and has turned out to be a storm in a teacup. All those prominent people who used to tell us how AI will end humanity seem to have stopped talking about it.
I get the sense that Altman is not particularly like-able person but Bill Gates and Steve Jobs both seem to have scored a 10/10 on their “is this guy a jerk” rating, it’s common for tech CEOs.
So, the article and headline are dramatic but not much really there.
I think all the AI safety obsessed people turn out to have been the ones off course.
I watch all your videos by the way. By the PCB Way!
