I think it’s possible to be sufficiently transparent while simultaneously keeping someone’s personal health status private.

As a hypothetical example, it’s possible to disclose if this health issue was known before they were selected for the mission, and if it was, what processes were in place to determine if they should or should not go, etc, all without revealing personal health information.


That itself would be a very convenient lie if the disclosures were damaging or embarrassing.

A 6K monitor seems like complete overkill unless you’re editing 4K video or sitting way too close to it.

Well they still did it, thus praise (though less effusive than if they had just done it initially).

> I don’t see any conceptual difference between a human and an automated system on this front

If an employee of a third party contractor did something like that, I think you’d have better chances of recovering damages from them as opposed to from OpenAI for something one of its LLMs does on your behalf.

There are probably other practical differences.


It’s because “AI” isn’t a feature. “AI” without context is meaningless.

Google isn’t running ads on TV for Google Docs touting that it uses conflict-free replicated data types, or whatever, because (almost entirely) no one cares. Most people care the same amount about “AI” too.


It also makes it grammatically incorrect. If it were actually a question it should be, “Why are German strings everywhere?”

The other form seems to be an Indian English colloquialism.

Do you mean "Why German strings are everywhere?" as an interrogative form?

I doubt that's specific to India. I had a teacher in high school who was Greek and who characteristically asked us "what it could be?", meaning "what could it be?".

Questions in Mandarin Chinese use the same sentence structure as their related statements. I imagine this is really common across languages.


Theoretically couldn’t you send each client its data after performing occlusion culling based on each one’s camera?

Don’t some competitive games more or less already do this? Not sending player A’s position to player B if the server determines player A is occluded from player B?

I seem to recall a blog post about Apex Legenda dealing with the issue of “leaker’s advantage” due to this type of culling, unless I’m just totally misremembering the subject.

Regardless, seems like it would work just fine even in 3D for the types of games where everyone has the same view more or less.


An LLM is not a doctor, lawyer, nor healthcare professional so I fail to see the relevance.

It’s more akin to Google having all your emails.
