> Beiermeister started at OpenAI in mid-2024 as a part of a wave of hires from Meta who viewed themselves as trying to change tech companies from the inside

Looks like that's not really effective, even if you're at the executive level


> a wave of hires from Meta

With a CV like that I wouldn't expect them to be effective at anything.


Pretty sure this doesn't remove Activation Lock so it shouldn't make a difference


> Is someone more likely to drop litter if there’s already lots or less litter already around, I wonder?

That's definitely a big factor, there's a whole theory on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory

It seems like people are less likely to litter in clean places


yes those are obviously the same, after all lions are known for running industrial-scale farms where they force millions of gazelles to procreate and then keep them in tiny cages for the entirety of their short lives so that other lions can conveniently buy prepackaged gazelle meat in a supermarket not even having to ever associate the pack of meat with a once living gazelle


IMO, the parent comment points out that having consciousness is not a sufficient basis for ethics, and certainly not for law.


I disagree, it seems to deride a certain flavor of ethics. Almost an "appeal to nature" regarding whether humans should treat animals a bit nicer knowing they experience things.


Honestly I don't have much faith that as a species we can treat our animals much more humanely, considering how we treat each other.

My apologies if you took offense personally, it wasn't intended.


They probably would if they could.


> Not Apple

They're definitely moving in that direction https://searchads.apple.com/

> Microsoft

It's not a huge part of their revenue but they definitely make a sizeable amount of money from ads


Microsoft is also actively trying to grow their ad revenue.


They still should be way cheaper if you don’t care about the seats and/or only have hand luggage


I wish they would enforce the "hand luggage" size a bit on entry to the plane, last time I flew around 2017 it was a complete shit show in regards to the overhead storage compartments.


The budget airlines are pretty strict on this, but the regulars not so much.


They do, or at least when I last flew they were charging people who had carryon bags that would not go beneath the seat.

(I had a backpack that was slightly oversized, but they did not seem to care that much.)


I guess it depends on how full a flight is. A empty one they don't really care - a full one they care more. But also if its a cheap or "premium" airline.


Considering the importance of the negotiations for Apollo’s developer he could have considered hiring a middleman for the call, that would probably have prevented some misunderstandings


but there’s no incentive for Reddit to pay any money, they either start charging for the API and recoup the costs or the app shuts down and it starts costing Reddit absolutely nothing


The cost for reddit as stated in another part of the call is an opportunity cost. By acquiring Apollo instead of shutting it down they would seamlessly acquire a lot of users who would have a hard time adjusting to the native app and potentially leave the platform, so this call is still a cost to them.


The app shutting down does not automatically cost nothing. If all users move to the official app the server resources still are used but the users would at least see ads.
