the stockholm syndrome in tech / capitalist america is astounding. While it's true that some communist regimes have been responsible for the suffering and death of millions, it's important to recognize that this is a distortion of Marx's ideas, rather than a direct result of them. Additionally, many capitalist societies have also had their share of social injustices and economic inequalities. It's essential to separate the philosophy from its historical implementations and consider the context in which Marx's ideas were formed.
In the case of tech companies reporting record profits amidst massive layoffs, it's worth exploring whether certain aspects of Marxist theory could shed light on the systemic issues within our current economic system, rather than dismissing them outright based on past examples of "communism"
Why? It’s a valid concern in my opinion. You’re feeding OpenAI your intellectual property and just hoping they don’t do anything with it. I have the same concerns with Microsoft’s TypeScript playground
It is a valid concern if you send an entire list of confidential data and ask it to transform that list. However if you ask ChatGPT some questions about coding in general it's no different than searching online.
This comes down to whether you trust your whole organization to act be educated about these issues and be good at judging what's ok.
At the size of Samsung that's just an impossible move, and it's easier to blanket ban a problematic service and have employee request exceptions justifying their use case.
BTW I've been in companies that blanket ban posting stuff online, and got posts security reviewed when asking help on vendor community forums. That's totally a thing.
Yes, 20 lines of transforming jsons from one form to another are exactly what OpenAI employees are looking for in all the data they're gathering. How will my company survive after they get their hands on this?
Good opsec/appsec requires doing things that seem unnecessary. And it depends on the context. Passing a private key or raw text customer password to any type of online tool is never a good idea.
> We've seen in real life that a large corporation can plan a proportion of an economy.
No we haven’t. Look at the list of Fortune 500 companies today vs 50 years ago. The landscape is completely different. IBM was the most innovative company in America and now it's seen as a dinosaur. Corporations die each year. It’s cutthroat; your business is more likely to fail than succeed. The idea that Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell could do a better job planning the economy is laughable
What proportion of new housing is built for "poor people" to live? I was under the assumption that most new developments are aimed at the mid/high end of the market which makes older buildings more accessible to low income households.
Also induction stoves are quite cheap nowadays (in relation to the overall cost) so it would seem absurd for me to get a resistive one even if you could save $100-200
>> so it would seem absurd for me to get a resistive one even if you could save $100-200
But if it were 30 apartment units, then the cost difference on paper would amount to $3000-$6000 (and it would probably be judged in this way, rather than the cost difference per unit).
Induction cooktops are not expensive anymore. This would have been an argument 10 or 15 years ago but not today.
The price difference between a resistive 4 element resistive and a inductive cooktop is like 20€ maybe 30€ tops. So a cheap one will cost you between 200€ to 250€
(maybe the pricing in US is totally different but that is what you pay for the cheap stuff here in Finland)
I live in America. Builders will definitely cut corners to save $20. Hands down. Even brand new houses that sell for $500k will have "builder quality paint" that needs to be repainted in 5-7 years because it is cheap.
If they cut corners on paint, they will cut corners on your stove.
Don't have experience, but I'd guess a buyer/renter won't see a difference between grades of paint quality, but a resistive vs. induction cooktop will be very noticeable and may raise the value far beyond the price difference.
React is an innovation, in what exactly? It bloats the web with needless javascript and abstractions. It's a convenient shortcut for people making native mobile apps. It's not taking the world forward
Even the “communist” government still around like China just have capitalist economies in sheep’s clothing.
