Sure, but this isn’t really about google – it’s about people who are worried about being abducted by the government and want their employer to protect them. And I’m sure this is a sentiment shared by employees at many companies across the country.

The difference here is that if any company is in a position to meaningfully protect their employees, it should be google. I think a natural question from this is, how can people most effectively get their employers to use their power to make their lives safer in this environment?

I wonder if OpenAI will give a cut of their cut to the creators whose content they trained their models on

It’s also possible that it retrieved the data from whatever sources it has access to (ie as tool calls) and then constructed the json based on its own schema. That is, the string value may not represent how the underlying data is stored, which wouldn’t be unusual/unexpected with llms.

But it could definitely also just be a hallucinations. I’m not certain, but since it looks like the schema is consistent in these screenshots, it does seems like the schema may be pre-defined. (But even if this could be verified, it wouldn’t completely rule out the possibility of hallucinations since grok could be hallucinating values into a pre-defined schema.)

This isn’t very surprising to me and I’m not too mad about it tbh. My impression is that Rossman is passionate about open-source and right-to-repair, and after connecting with Eron, he was offered his dream job that would allow him to get paid to work on his passion in Austin with Eron. Eron is very wealthy which provides the funding but also comes with sketchy friends. Eron exploits Rossman’s authenticity and puts him in a tough spot.

cool, what tax software? (open source?)
