Their words
when you can basically bridge the concept of an avocado and a chair and show that you kind of can combine those two, it means that the model has at least some kind of conceptual understanding of what an avocado is and what a chair is to the point that it can combine them into something that exhibits both concepts at the same time.

Bluesky Earlier this year, the FTC Chair said "you're going to have a hard time keeping up with the number of cases we're gonna be bringing" on privacy.

Mastodon Earlier this year, the FTC Chair said "you're going to have a hard time keeping up with the number of cases we're gonna be bringing" on privacy. I guess this is starting? See https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/Hims-Complaint-Redacted-E-Filed.pdf. The bulk of the complaint is about standard scammy practices, but there's this section where the FTC is going after them because they promised to keep information private but use tracking pixels from various ad providers, which inherently share information about the user information.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
