> In the UK you get thrown in prison for making a slightly unfriendly tweet.

Do you? The closest thing I can think about is how someone was jailed for encouraging arson attacks on asylum hotels. I'd be extremely surprised if the US had zero cases of somebody receiving a police visit after threatening to kill the President or bomb a school or something...

(FWIW I do think the UK needs stronger free speech protections, but saying that you'll be immediately jailed for writing unfriendly tweets is a huge stretch)


Yes. And also you are threatened with prison for holding in front of a court a placard with [pretty much] a quote from the plaque displayed on the most important criminal court.

You're threatened with arrest for holding empty placard.

You're jailed for years for holding a zoom meeting planning a peaceful climate-emergency related demonstration. At the same time judge threatens the defendants with contempt of court sanctions if they dare to explain to juries why they planned to protest.

You're jailed for opposing a genocide.

You're jailed and called a terrorist for painting planes helping to bomb civilians - the exact same thing the sitting PM was defending a person in court some years ago (as a human rights lawyer, the irony).

You're arrested for wearing a T-shirt "I support plasticine action" (not a typo, "Plasticine").

We could go for hours.

Are they really making 12,000 arrests a year over tweets and posts?


Would be more impressive if the safeguards weren't so trigger-happy!

It's interesting how every time there's a layoff, the blog post always has a title like "Preparing for what's next" or "An update on our workforce" or "Getting ready for the agentic era"!


They should make it “Good news, everyone” like in Futurama.


Probably a good idea in all honesty. xAI is a deeply unserious lab


From a technical standpoint xAI is basically Gemini team B who were give A+ salaries to join the company.

But even then, I suspect their hands were tied in some areas because Elon had some expectations from his AI.


Did Google outbid Elon for team A? Or A team just don't like Elon?


It's an internal jokes since very few high profile Deepmind engineers accepted his offer despite some serious cash being thrown at them.

Meta engineers on the other hand, couldn't wait to jump ship. But that only reinforces the B team theory.


LLaMA was pretty good at the time


There's only so much determinism you can create when you try not to filter (read CENSOR) your LLM.


re: #1, Blacksmith (https://blacksmith.sh) exists and it works pretty well!


Yes, I pay for blacksmith rn. Thank You for your response though.


I mean, considering that it's been 13 years since the release, I think they did pretty well!


This is really cool (especially considering that the pricing is way better than Persona/Stripe Identity)!

That being said, what security measures does Didit take, and has it gone through e.g. auditing or SOC 2?


Thanks! We have ISO27001, iBeta PAD, and about to receive SOC 2. We also do bug bounty programs, and pen-testing.


Can't see any mention of bug bounties on your site - do you have any details you could share?


Rails 8 is surprisingly good nowadays. It absolutely still has its share of problems (e.g. Bundler being slow, the frontend story being crappy without Inertia, lack of types which is a biggie, memory) but it is still a fantastic framework imo.


Why Inertia.js? I quite enjoy not using JS heavy frontends in Rails by leaning on Turbo and light Stimulus JS controllers where needed. My experience going hard into Vue+Rails was full of pain and I've rediscovered why server first makes everything easier to reason about instead of duplicating tons of logic + dealing with constant async issues (particularly around automated testing and complex data loading).


Inertia because it’s a plug-in replacement for ruby html templating aka erb. Try it out, it’s basically the same stuff you get from erb, without the need for Turbo’s web sockets. You get server side rendering, all the great BE stuff like server side validation, but no SPA headache.

I find the best DX with Adonis/nodejs and typescript.


Somebody should port uv to Ruby :/



And I agree! It's something I touch upon halfway iirc, but their suffering shouldn't be something to laugh at or mock. It's genuinely upsetting to see to be honest.

At the same time though, I don't think it's healthy to let them go on with 4o either (especially since new users can start chatting with it)


People are not happy with this because 4o, at least from what I've heard, seems to be much more willing to go down the relationship/friend path than 5.2 and Claude and the like.
