I "know" people who work on projects that provide data to train these models. When using photos and data, like google photos, you need to give a series of permissions. The pay is very low, anywhere from 3 dollars to 6 dollars per hour to answer some questions.
What I mean by that is that legally these companies get that date without having to run the risk of using data acquired from those who didn't authorize it.
Google cannot do as it pleases with your data. And they don't even need to. It's cheap to get permission from other people.
This salary is higher than the minimum in Brazil. Of course, without labor rights. They would probably also get thousands of employees in Brazil if they needed to, as well as in several other countries.
I myself do work with mediation of content for several social networks, getting a little more than that. The only problem is that the monthly hours are irregular, there are very few hours.
If someone has an offer of 4 dollars an hour for 200 hours a week without any benefits, I accept it immediately. And that's half the US salary, as I understand it.
Probably because they weren't platforms with the sole purpose of being a space for free speech. The problem with these new platforms and sites is that they are generally copies, worse than the originals, of larger platforms that have the only attraction of being free from moderation.
They only see this problem and try to solve it in the worst way. Accepting everything and everyone, offering a confusing experience, financially unattractive and often need to charge dearly for it.
Yep! I receive one from ovoluvil@gmail , He has send to me this file: fastmoneyFVba.htm Wich is some kind of virus. I do not have any idea about the last time I have receive something like that before.
This company is popular for being the company chosen by Elon Musk[1]. He's supposedly living in one in Starbase, Texas. I guess it's also a study to understand the dynamics of living in a small space as any dream of inhabiting some other planet passes necessarily by the adaptation of a lifetime in a tiny space.
> I guess it's also a study to understand the dynamics of living in a small space
How out of touch must one be to even consider this? News flash: the vast majority of mankind lives in what a North American would consider "small places" [0].
Same goes for population density - North American and Australian urban sprawl is largely unknown in most areas of the world. If you want to "study the dynamics" of living closely together in tightly packed spaces, just move to Hong Kong or Singapore for a year.
I'm talking about him. I didn't say it was a scientific study about the world. He, one of the richest men in the world, is experiencing living in a small space with houses from this company. This company has also demo videos about houses on mars.
In addition to everything he mentioned, there is still the possibility that immunity, acquired after infection, is only for a short period. Nothing makes sense. Everyone was already waiting for some kind of correction before Covid. And now, in addition to the covid, we have conflict tensions, unemployment and lack of income on a global scale.
It's unlikely that would be sustainable for long for various reasons. You're talking about needing literally tens of BILLIONS of shots a year for the forseeable future?
If immunity is not long lasting, then the only path out is global eradication. We have done it before with smallpox.
I don't see us getting to the levels of vaccinations that would be necessary for eradication. A quarter of the people in the US think the whole thing is a ploy to implant everyone with microchips and nothing will ever convince them otherwise. Maybe some of those people will change their minds when they get it but I wouldn't count on enough to matter. We're all going to be sick and dying for decades.
Could they really manage to make a new version of the vaccine four times a year? For influenza they only do it twice a year and the vaccines are often only 50% effective (or worse.)
I would assume this is because of how fast flu is evolving and how many strains there are, with different ones predominant in any given year. Covid is (relatively) stable, so you'd just use the same one.
In the case of covid, the suspicion is that the former is true. There isn't enough data yet to be able to say one way or the other with any certainty, however.
I've been following the tweets about hey.com from their founder for some time. The text about how they bought the domain is beautiful. I understand the proposal they offer about the service, and the reason for charging for a service that nobody has paid for a long time. It even seems obvious to me this trend of new opportunities to pay for email services. A trend, that this time, appears to be here to stay.
But it is a product that have a very aggressive marketing strategy. Arrogant.
The only thing I read from this episode is: The product is like this, the billing service is like that. We won't change anything and if you don't like it, you're wrong. Unfortunately, there is no chance that I will ever use this product. The price is stratospheric for me and probably for 98% of those who use gmail. Prontonmail, for example, offers several options, including a free one.
Well, apple also offers a service. What they are asking is for them to make a concession. But they don't seem willing to concede anything to that negotiation.
I imagine that this could be circumvented with other exclusive plans to subscribe using apple pay, or a free and very reduced version. It doesn't seem like a radical position from apple, which was the impression I got from reading the tweets alone.
This is the potential market where all other paid email providers will compete. A reduced market. And yet, they chose Elon Musk's strategy. Create a premium product first to serve as a cash cow and financier, then perhaps offer other products with lower or even higher margins.
But my point is, they offer a premium service and have the possibility to get around this problem by negotiating since the mistake was theirs in not interpreting apple rules correctly.
I think it's the same business model as 1Password costing $36/year as opposed to KeePass being free, or paying for Dropbox vs setting up your own FTP server, or even paying for an iPhone/Mac when Android/PC is cheaper, but the UX or specific features work better for you. For some people that's worth paying for.
I agree. But I was not discussing their business model. I believe that they will be successful, as I said, I believe that there is this market for paid emails. What I was talking about is the first attitude of protesting instead of negotiating.
And I wasn't wrong, that's what Phil Schiller suggested:
“One way that HEY could have gone...is to offer a free or paid version of the app with basic email reading features on the App Store, then separately offered an upgraded email service that worked with the Hey app on iOS on its own website.”
And that is exactly what they did to get approved.
"So now we offer this new free option, and the multi-user HEY for Work — all in the same iOS app. "
