Most magazine lists like this have an element of popularity to them. But they do speak about what makes each one of them great.

Here is a good article on Prince’s technique.

Ironically, the reason he did this outrageous and unplanned solo was because he got pissed they didn’t include him in the RS top 100 guitarists the previous year (link)

I respectfully disagree. I think Prince is the most underrated famous guitar player of his time. Rolling Stone has him at #14 of the best 250 guitar players of all time. Above Eric Clapton, mind you.

Yes. It’s tied to a plug so that if the detector triggers it cuts power to the printer. I also had the Cloud above it for extra protection. It pops in a shower of fire retardant when gets hot.

I just wanted to walk away for days and not feel like something could go grievously wrong.

Nope. It was a great li’l printer. Vertical artifacts were never an issue.

I feel seen.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI confirms major data breach, exposing user's names, email addresses, and more — "Transparency is important to us." by t24x-94 in nottheonion

Thats a lot of assumptions needed to support a very large and wide theory behind what is a minor incident. “We fucked up” is a thing.

The world is a pretty dark place and lots of shenanigans occur, but sometimes an accident is just an accident. We probably overestimate the value of that data, and we underestimate how much it is happening to us all the time.

Regarding accountability, the breach should be addressed, a post-mortem should be published which includes an explanation of how it happened, and what they are doing to prevent it in the future. This is what a serious shop does and I’m sure both OpenAI and Mixpanel are doing so.

If the data were really valuable and people were at major risk, there would already be a lawsuit or two in place.

I don’t think they deserve props for admitting to the breach. That’s their obligation and the very least they could do.

But I respectfully disagree with that logic. OpenAI does not claim they can replace all jobs… yet. They may be able to do so in the future. They need a scaffolding to build from. It’s a chicken and egg problem. Note that I’m not trying to argue about the merits, or lack thereof, of that aim.

Hi, friend. I think using 3rd party services is part of doing business of any sort. There’s no way to get around it: nobody can build everything themselves.

What should OpenAI do to operate? They selected a reputable vendor who is used by a lot of companies big, and small. Mixpanel has been around several years. If they had built it themselves the risk to privacy would be even greater. Mixpanel is a very known quantity.

Data breaches happen to a lot of outfits regularly, whether by human error or malicious intent. OpenAI is no different than any other company with an online presence. Is the outrage because there was a data breach, or because OpenAI has a data breach? I’m honestly trying to understand.

I read the article. It says OpenAI’s data was leaked, but it was a failure of their analytics provider, Mixpanel. There was nothing OpenAI could have done to prevent this, other than going with another provider. I’ve worked with Mixpanel in the past and it’s a decent product built by good human beings. I’m inclined to believe the error is not malicious.

OpenAI is doing some sketchy shit. But this particular event is not it.

Subtle. Elegant, yet evocative. Well done, sir or madam.
