> it also changes the rule for the pronunciation of the last consonant of French words.

This was a very well explained distinction, with the exception of you using "Noël" as one of the examples, since "Noel" would still have a sounded "L". It would be weird to a French speaker but would most likely end up being pronounced somewhat like the English "null".

> And yes Moët (the champagne) is pronounced "moh-ett" in France and by French speakers.

My favorite Moët mispronunciation is one that it took me several months to understand: Russians pronounce it as if it was spelled in Cyrillic, so they say "mah- yacht".

There is a famous MORGENSHTERN song which I only understood was about champagne when I saw the music video for the first time.


> I'm not saying no one should write marketing copy, if that's your thing, go for it. Take your time, wordsmith. But for others they don't enjoy it or are not particularly good at it

The problem is that the generated "marketing copy" ends up being bland and ineffective (nobody "buys", so the copy fails at its single job) when using generalist LLM tools like eg. ChatGPT.

So in the end, you don't achieve the goal of "getting better copy" from it because neither version (neither the copy you'd have done naïvely without knowing anything about marketing, nor the LLM copy) converts anyone.


> The copy is not the product

As someone who taught marketing for almost 2 decades, I've learned that if the copy does not bring in the people that the product wanted to help, then there might as well be no product.


> you should ask the GP about his use of the word fascist on everything he doesn't like.

If mirror dot org actually existed, you might want to look into it, because your long list of examples has one related to 1930s Germany, and the rest has nothing to do with the political definition of "fascism"?

Your point about legality was valid, but you're undermining it with the sarcasm.


Most likely, those were debris from the interception of missiles flying overhead and being destroyed on their way to a military target.

AFAIK, there have been no confirmed signs of civilian sites being targeted directly, and it would also be unlikely that actual missiles would cause so little damage that you could patch your datacenter up and get it ready to go within hours.


That's incorrect, there have been multiple hotels being attacked and recently oil facilities in SA

Can you please share sources?


Thanks for the links, which I've reviewed. Allow me to clarify: I meant sources that confirm that the civilian places hit (eg. hotels and residential buildings) were the actual targets.

Local and official news all say that these were hit by debris from intercepted missiles/drones (on their way to somewhere else). There is a major difference between this, vs. if those buildings were directly being targeted.

AFAICT your linked sources indicate that the oil installations and ports were targets, but not the hotels and buildings.

I'm asking in good faith as this makes a significant difference.


I don't see the large difference between a civilian port, a civilian oil facility or a civilian aluminum factory vs a hotel on the topic of whether the Iranians are capable of targeting a civilian data center, however, assuming you are curious, here goes

Finding these take time so I am sorry if this is going to be the last of these sources I'll paste, for example Bahrain luxury apartments building being hit:

If you take investments, your investors will most likely own shares of the company (except in specific early-stage scenarios like YC's SAFE). Sometimes major investors will have board seats or voting shares. This happens in normal private companies, not just public ones.

> I joined Anthropic with the impression that the responsible scaling policy was a binding pre-commitment for exactly this scenario

Pledges are generally non-binding (you can pledge to do no evil and still do it), but fulfill an important function as a signal: actively removing your public pledge to do "no evil" when you could have acted as you wished anyway, switches the market you're marketing to. That's the most worrying part IMO.


*"le" déluge


Would you be kind enough to explain your gut reaction here with logical arguments as to why this is definitely not a feature that would ever be released?


Yes! It's not a marketable feature for the cost!


Thanks. That does make sense.
