    I think it could be mostly true. CEOs are kind of like dictators so dealing with real dictators is often more comfortable for them than dealing with democratic governments, even if they might not like the dictator personally or agree with all of their policies. 
    Sure, you can speculate anyway you like.  But since Trump is such a confirmed liar, there's no credible evidence that it happened.
    It’s implausible to me that Trump would have known about the issues if he hadn’t talked to Cook. I also find it very believable that the CEO of a major company like Apple would talk to both party’s nominees.

    i like Apple and Cook, but I think you guys are kidding yourselves.

    That was my first thought, Why believe him at all?.

    Ngl, I always found the title Chief People Officer more than a little off-putting. She was in charge of Human Resources. No matter how you sugar coat it, that’s what that position was. Giving the job a cute, new agey name just struck me as weird, as trying too hard. 
    “Human Resources” is such a lovely candy apple. Why would anyone sugar-coat that?
    And before HR I think companies called it ‘personnel’. 

    I think this is the kind of thing where they keep changing the name because whatever name you give it eventually becomes tainted by the reality of what it is.

    The job of HR is to manipulate and control people in order to exploit them to the fullest extent possible to enrich shareholders. Everything else is window dressing.

  • Apple's study proves that LLM-based AI models are flawed because they cannot reason

    The primary issue with LLM computing is the ridiculously high power requirements. It goes against all of the low power hardware development of the last couple of decades.
    This issue is overblown and misinterpreted. 

    I read that the energy requirement to train a model is ballpark similar to the total energy needed to raise two American humans to the age of 25. That's a lot of energy, but the cost of inference on the model is vastly smaller than the cost of inference for those two humans, and the model can be copied and reused without limit. 

    So I think it's almost certainly going to be the case that the total energy cost of accomplishing tasks with LLMs will be much lower than using humans.
