I wonder if "loyal user base" just means people who feel locked in, or somehow don't know any better. I can't imagine another reason for the "loyalty".

Feels pretty exploitive.

Does LinkedIn lead to jobs?

So he's apolitical, and nobody's "bias" is correct?

Watching this get voted up and down is wild. People should try this for themselves.

I haven't encountered a chatbot yet that is willing to recognize DJT as a fascist.

You can get them to acknowledge how perfectly aligned he is with fascist ideals and actions, somehow the jury is always out.

That tells me a lot.

I didn't... Is it the one from Existenz? The one from Portal is pretty cool.

Man did I google a lot of things in this comment. Paul, you're an interesting person.

I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory, so I'm not subscribing without more validation, BUT:

I think MSG has the ability to ID every person at the Knicks game who booed for DJT, and you know how petty and sensitive that person can be.

Remember when Hegseth invited all the generals into one big room for some reason? Some people think that it was to point cameras at their faces and do a bit of sentiment analysis.

The tech is in place. Is there enough decency or the lack of enough motivation to make these scenarios unlikely? I'm not sure.

I wish I could look forward and say, "prices will go down again" I don't see when or how. I hope I'm wrong.

According to the graphic, all RFID/NFC tags including pet microchips and your company badge will be associated with you too.

I can remember in the late 1990's Berkeley Public Library was considering adding RFID tags to the books as asset tags. The public push-back was significant and surprising at the time. Freedom-loving library patrons were concerned about nefarious tracking. Proponents of the new tags thought that the concept of tracking people or the books they read was rooted in paranoia.

"Memes" they called them in Snow Crash (1992).

In a very real way there ARE malicious AI agents working tirelessly to create and spread memes via language and sound to alter our brain software.

You had to leave and you can't go back.

on my way!

quite sure = confidently wrong

Perhaps you're being coy. But, I'm pretty sure people do this. The performers can collaborate in "real time" (still offset from each other in real life) and the other participants (dancers and listeners) only hear finished music at the same time as all the other participants.

The latency is in the audience/performer energy.

What regulators?

BadUSB, Blackhat 2014.

That's almost 12 years now. A novice can now get ATmega32 USB devices Prime delivered. Not a cutting edge theoretical attack anymore but a basic tool in a every pen tester's toolbox now.

I had to dig around to see where they took the stand.

https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1213#i...

Mozilla makes great points. Even if the API is model agnostic, which it ought to be designed as from the very beginning to even be considered a spec, models can act vastly different.

Mozilla didn't say this but the user should at least be presented an option to choose which model (at least once) starting from day one, even if your browser only has one option available. That's assuming a universe where Google plans on actually being concerned about standards adoption.

This article seems to just be a dig at IBM without bringing any receipts or adding any substance. "A colleague told me that they said..."

Honestly, why should I even believe it?

Most users aren't even going to know that this is here. Web developers will expose this capability to the user. The devs will have to determine if the model is delivering what they need.

It's good to have something to work with if these Web APIs are going to be part of a standard. I suppose this means that ALL the browser vendors are likely to implement something

So now we're up to 6 GB

Probably because the articles are talking about how the AI will be used in immoral ways, and that the people who know that and continue doing the work must be morally compromised.

I know that there might be $several ways those highly-paid engineers might still rationalize their work. Some of them might have ideological reasons to treat entire classes of people as unworthy of life. Within the model of their ideologies, the most evil things might be perfectly moral.

I wonder what reasons you have to disagree with people's moral stance against using AI as a weapon.

I haven't seen this discussed here yet. Wikipedia has decided to deprecate archive.today links because the site has been observed using the browsers of visitors to conduct a DDOS attack on the blog of an individual. Perhaps more troubling, archive.today modified archived versions of articles to insert the individuals name into the context of the articles.

I'm a bit out of my depth in this comment section (not an arch user, am a novice docker admin). But, to me, this comment is eye-opening.

Does anyone know the status of this whole release. The metadata was hosted, and now not hosted. I saw a torrent leaked of unpopular tracks.

No statements or blogs from AA explaining the metadata removal, or an updated release timeline.

Can anyone say more?

"...the company whose entire brand is AI safety"

Absolutely no AI company is trying to take up this banner. Examples of Claude being used in all kinds of nefarious ways are surfacing all the time, and all those human operators are still current customers. Anthropic has very little to say on the matter.

The idea that Anthropic is a "safety" brand suggests that AI companies operate in a much lower realm of morality.

The aurora store will identify whether apps require google play services before you try to install them.

If you use Aurora Store instead of the Play store, you can download APKs. They are a Google Play store proxy.

I was concerned about that too. Often when you tell them not to do something, you were better off not mentioning it in the first place. It's like they get fixated.

It can do it all!
