First I'm hearing of it all, but no, that's clear conspiracy theory territory, Musk makes some intervention like that and then X AI publishes TFA about the 'unauthorised' action 'circumventing' established processes etc.? No, Occam is not satisfied.

(Obligatory that's not what the razor is about anyway: it's that give a bunch of otherwise equally probable explanations, the simplest is likely the correct one; not just what's the simplest possible hypothesis you can imagine that is the answer.)

Elon has a very specific history around this particular issue that I suspect a random new-hire would not: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/south-africa-racist-white...

A CEO force-merging a change to production would indeed be an "unauthorized action circumventing established processes" by exact words.

I agree it's ridiculous, but it's mostly because the alternative hypotheses make no sense. There's making a change to a prompt without testing or review (e.g. the ChatGPT sycophancy incident), and then there's prompting a LLM with a very specific response that is not relevant to most people.

Of course it would, but I wouldn't expect this post to follow it, especially at a Musk company, was my point.

But anyway, I'm just further speculating that other speculation seems unlikely to me, heh.

It's often proscribed, many style guides say 'the company is/has', sort of de-personifying it to the entity rather than the people that work there.

I think it's an Americanizm to say e.g. 'Apple have released a new iPhone'.

No, it’s actually more common to do this in British English than in American English, so it’s a “Britism” if anything.

Was it commonly used in (for example) 1900? It wasnt taught to Indian students like me, who had English books with Cambridge and Oxford logos.

It wouldn't be taught here either, it's a colloquialism/corruption, whether from American influence or not. Long may you keep it (and so many other things) out of Indian English!

You would have to say 'which has', but then yes it works (and is more correct than 'who have').

A lot less than what/where your market & investors are.

It's the biggest (0.7%) since the same quarter last year (0.9%).

TFA doesn't hide or sensationalise that, makes the point that it's timely.

However many people will infer causation from the timing. Half of people don't even read the full headlines any more.

Even a known company! I can't name a SaaS that does. It's in the realm of telecom/utility bills.

creative cloud?

I would call Creative Cloud B2B... I imagine the bulk of their subscribers are using the tools for professional use.

And even then you can choose to subscribe to a subset of tools (eg just photoshop) for a much cheaper cost.

B2B and SAAS are not mutually exclusive though, are they?

To be clear, I can name tonnes of B2B SaaS in (and well beyond) that realm. I was replying firmly in the 'B2C' scope of the parent comment 'B2C @ $50/month from an unknown company'.

fair enough, but it wasn't clear

Yes it's a very clear day today, lovely weather.

Oh you meant the topic in thread? Fair enough, but it wasn't clear.

Not GP but the linked Wikipedia page says though there's a private shuttle it's difficult to get into town on foot, so I'd guess it's concern that it'd be annoyingly secluded/disconnected at times.

I would think of it as the whole embedding concept again on a finer grained scale: you wouldn't say the model 'has a dimension of whether the input is king', instead the embedding expresses the idea of 'king' with fewer dimensions than would be needed to cover all ideas/words/tokens like that.

So the distinction between a direction and a dimension expressing 'gender' is that maybe gender isn't 'important' (or I guess high-information-density) enough to be an entire dimension, but rather is expressed by a linear combination of two (or more) yet more abstract dimensions.
