I don't think they are confused. They are simply challenging the assertion that the model should not work with other software. Which is fair because there is a lot of precedent around whether a service can dictate how it must be consumed. It's not a simple answer and there are good reasons for both sides. Whichever path we take will have wide consequences and shape our future in a very distinct way. So it is an important decision, and ultimately up to us, as a society to influence and guide.
yes, it was my mistake. I trusted him because he was my childhood friend and my cousin. He was a tech lead in CMMI Level 5 (serving fortune 500 firms) company at the time he joined with me. I had the trust that he will never ran away with the code and that trust is still there, also the entire feature, roadmap and vision was with me, so I thought code doesn't matter. It was a big learning for me.
I can, but I switched to something more challenging. I handed over all things to him and told, Iam no more interested. I don't want him to feel that i cheated him by creating something he worked on.

The world runs on computers. It is as essential as oil for the functioning of societies. Increase in silicon costs is going to increase costs unilaterally across the board. It happened during the pandemic and something similar will happen now. If anything it should be a wake up call to countries to start thinking about securing their own supply chains.
But is consciousness even a thing? Shouldn't the burden of proof be on the one making a claim that there exists something called consciousness? If they cannot show evidence that such a thing exists or may exist, then for all purposes it does not exist.
That’s why it’s such a hard problem. We barely have the language to talk about it. We have no way to observe it in other people. We have no way to measure it. And we have no idea how these things could even be done in theory.
Sort of. Many people state a direct experience with a higher power as the source of their belief in one, so it is similar. But not quite the same, because consciousness is the thing doing the experiencing. It’s more fundamental in that way. The experience of a higher power could be false, in that it’s not really a higher power. But it is some experience. Consciousness can’t be false in that way.
These debates always leave me wondering if some people aren’t actually conscious. Some of these arguments wouldn’t make any sense to someone who actually experiences qualia. I liken it to the old debate over the existence of mental imagery, which was finally settled as being something that some people have and some don’t. But until that was figured out, the two sides just didn’t comprehend each other.
