What if my "AI Character" says things that are offensive or insensitive or considered rude by someone in some culture?
I can see this making headlines with a <Celeb/Politician> AIs offending someone...
4chan is not going to have much fun with this because of LLaMA being quite filtered and sanitized. It was character.ai that first popularized the AI character roleplay genre, but then they implemented quite strict filtering, so nowadays there are literally tens of uncensored NSFW platforms for AI character roleplay, and people can easily download local models that just require a good-enough GPU. Or abuse models from OpenAI/Anthropic.
Of course with the magic of browser web tools, the AI character doesn't actually have to say anything offensive, you can just change whatever it did say and post screenshots on Mastodon.
Had the exact same experience. One of the car dealerships told me that I still have to get a 6 month "service" where they move around battery packs (why?). And secondly, I remembered how I hated talking to car salesmen.
It would be interesting to know what the net gain is. Obviously there is the materials and labor cost of installation, but then you also have the battery cost. I assume most of the trucks are out during the day, so you need batteries to store the generated power until the truck can be charged at night.
And does Amazon own the warehouses outright, or do they lease them?

Why not just double your fleet size instead?
That's a bit extreme, but this is the kind of optimization that your bean counters are good at. You probably don't need to double your fleet but just keep enough that you can shift the consumption curve or take advantage of price changes.
It's a new and exciting set of features that allow them to collect even more invasive information, then flood your email, webpages and physical mail with more targeted and impressive amounts of garbage!
How useful would it be to target ads based on what you did 19+ months ago? If you ignore privacy, it seems like the model needs to be based more on a moving window of what's relevant to you now.
I’m not 100% sure I mind the profile as long as the data behind it is gone. It adds an element of “cant confirm or explain” the profile which means you cannot be as convincingly associated with it. Still not ideal but a big improvement to me
Great initiative! There needs to be more effort towards streamlining these trials.
At TrialX [1], we also launched Covid Labs Initiative to Hack The Pandemic [2] by bringing together hackers in Clinical Trials informatics space - Drop us a note hackcovid@trialx.com if interested.
We are seeing an unprecedented activity on-the-ground at various orgs[3,4,5] where we power the clinical trials recruitment. There is a huge interest in patient/volunteer community. Any effort to streamline and accelerate would be welcome.
Here is my anecdata on Apple Pay and why I stopped using it altogether:
Once I used Apple Pay from my phone to pay on a third-party website, it showed a nice popover on Safari and it automagically used my address from my info as the SHIPPING address. Neat but the address was my old address, so I edited and changed the SHIPPING address to my new address. I press OK. Then Checkout.
I see that order was shipped to my old/incorrect address. The vendor said this is the address they received. I remember changing and updating the address on the APPLE PAY popover.
I called Apple as I had entered the correct address on APPLE PAY popover, they said may be the website vendor implemented it incorrectly, there are millions of websites using Apple Pay and they CANNOT/DO NOT check those integrations. This was a breach of trust. I entered my information on a pop-over shown on Apple iPhone by Apple iOS and not the third-party website.
Bottomline: Either Apple takes full responsibility of the data entry or leave it to third-party. Else consumers are stuck in limbo
Why haven't you updated your billing address to match your new shipping address? Doesn't that mean your potential statements are getting sent to your old address?
Would it be better if Apple required you to enter your addresses in a web form exposed by the third party instead of hiding the form behind a slick interface?
