I would suggest it is inevitable when the goal is to grow without end. The sociopaths buy the shares and push the businesses to ether become "evil" or get pushed out and taken over. Its what the current models leads to when there are no checks and balances.

Pursuing growth at all costs is inevitable though. If you don't continue to grow, you get superseded by entities that do. Goes for both countries and companies.

Communist countries like the Soviet Union and China have even had the explicit goal of outgrowing the US.


I mean, in a way, all communication is propaganda. Its one person or group trying to influence you with their information.

I don't think so. I strive to lay the facts out neutrally so people can decide what to do with that information, even if the outcome is not ideal for me.

Preventing non-ideal outcomes is not about lying, but not doing things you might regret in the future.

This is why I'm no politician, though.


I did a quick search and it looks like A LOT of business use it (not 100% on the source,but it gives an idea ). Also looking at Persona's website, that includes OpenAI: `OpenAI uses Persona to screen millions of users each month with zero friction` [1] https://data.landbase.com/technology/persona/ [2] https://withpersona.com/customers/openai [3] https://withpersona.com/customers

Our CEO Decided to use his own phone, use zoom instead of the corporate Teams, and uses ChatGPT where the rest of us are stuck with MS copilot test licenses. I guess its good to be at the top!


Reminds me when at my previous company, management got themselves top macbooks for filing excel sheets and replying to emails, while rank and file engineers got the budget Lenovos with 8GB RAM


Depends on company size and how much influence legal, security and asset protection have.

Usually at big corp I haven’t seen a ceo actually schedule their own calls or deal with day to day bullshit. They have a whole team of staff for that.


I'm sure there are a bunch of "Rust is better" people spending all their tokens on rewriting the Linux kernel as we speak.


I love how its the "evil" Open Source project devices, and "other app stores" that are the problem, not the 100s of spyware ridden crap that is available for download from the Play store. Would be interesting to know how many copies of the SDK was found and removed from their own platform.


No, he is referencing Google going after the Chinese company, not the Israel based one. That does not mean there is bias with the commenter at all, just that the companies operate differently and are treated differently. The country of origin is important as Israel based companies are more integrated into the western business world, and tend to at least try to show an effort in keeping spam and other things off their platforms. Now I do agree that they are both bad companies that should not be allowed to operate the way they do. I would say the same thing about the other 1000 scrapers hitting websites everyday as well (including Google).

What they did not comment directly on, is how many apps / games they might have actually removed from the Playstore with the removal of the SDKs, which would be the actual interesting data.


FWIW a couple of years ago I was involved in a court case where there was a subpoena sent to Luminati to figure out whether or not a specific request had originated from their network, lawyers Luminati replied that they do not keep any logs whatsoever as they aren't required to do so under Israeli law.

Hard to imagine any serious anti-abuse efforts by Luminati if they don't monitor what their users are doing, but this is probably a deliberate effort to avoid potential liability arising from knowing what their users are doing.


I have to use my phone to approve the web login to my account. My bank is working very hard to make sure that everyone uses the app for everything, including closing down offices and removing ATMs around the city.


I would not worry too much about the mod community! They are the one persistant group of people who will hack the software to their liking. Yes you can't play full FiveM GTA V right now, but it will get there eventually. There is nothing technical that is limiting the mods from working on Proton, just time from some annoyed mod dev that has had enough with windows, and it will be migrated over.


Interesting, I dont read claude the same way as clawd, but I'm based in Spain so I tend to read it as French or Spanish. I tend to read it as `claud-e` with an emphasis on the e at the end. I would read clawd as `claw-d` with a emphasis in the D, but yes i guess American English would pronounce them the same way.

Edit: Just realized i have been reading and calling it after Jean-Claude Van Damme all this time. Happy friday!


What do you mean an emphasis on the 'e'? As in claudé? The name Claude is pronounced with a silent 'e' in French, there is no 'e' to emphasize.


Now you're telling me I've been pronouncing it wrong in every possible case?!


Greg Eisenberg will pronounce it both ways in the same video: clawd and cload. As an American I very much use clawd for Claude.
