Kimi Work 2 days ago

Will be cool until the AI goes ape shit and starts deleting all your files, wipes out your corporate file share, but not before uploading it all online.

Not saying Kimi will do this, but it's perfectly reasonable to expect this to happen, because there is really nothing anyone can do to prevent it. No, this is not meant to go in an isolated VM on a Linux box in a cheap VPS somehwere. This is meant for regular home users and corporate users to install on their primary system where all their personal and corporate data is available.

The above is a PSA (public service announcement) not just for Kimi, but also for GPT and Claude. If you don't understand how it's impossible to prevent the above from happening, then you should never use one of these tools.

Apple is known for hiring the best and the brightest. These employees are clearly trash. Apple obviously missed the mark on these hires or they have a systemic problem in their hiring process.

What a shame when there are amazing people out there that would love to work at Apple and would follow the rules and do a great job.

Of course it was a disaster for the country. But the purpose wasn't to help the country. It was to steal data and assert power over the civil servants. If you look at it that way then it was a complete success.

The disaster was that our checks and balances failed, the right people didn't stand up to stop it, and our elected officials didn't do their jobs. Hitler's standard playbook adopted by this administration.

When Hitler became chancellor on January 30, 1933, he relied initially on a coalition, emergency presidential powers, existing conservative officials, and the established bureaucracy. Enabling Act, March 23, 1933: allowed Hitler's cabinet to enact laws without parliamentary approval. Many conservative officials remained in office and the takeover occurred through a combination of legal changes, intimidation, selective purges, loyalty requirements, and control from above.

It wasn't a disaster. Musk got all the information he wanted. Mission accomplished.

What would have been amazing is if Musk and the DOGE kids he hired were denied access, blocked from entering any government building, and accomplished nothing. It would have been a rare moment in recent years where humanity had something to be proud of.

Serious question. When climbers are walking by bodies, do they check if they are still alive or need help? Is there nothing that could be done anyways? Face down means don’t bother checking?

Any human not moving in Rainbow Valley is presumed dead?

I imagine you’re trying to keep yourself alive and keep your eyes forward, and realize you can’t do anything to help them anyways.

Sending it to journalists beforehand is what I consider an overreaction.

No knowledge on this particular situation. My guess is that they wanted to protect their work by getting it out there. This prevents someone from stealing it during the peer review process.

All of this talk about reality is giving them way too much credit.

The simple fact is that we’re dealing with idiots and pure stupidity. Idiots elected them and the idiots are having their day in the sun. Unfortunately, their stupidity is no longer contained to the office environments and executive leadership roles they had before. They are unfortunately able to make decisions that affect the general population.

The US did an okay-ish job for a long time keeping people like this from gaining a foothold of too many positions of power. Unfortunately, we lost control and we may never get it back on the right track.

Nice article. Good points that seem to hit home on a lot of fronts.

There will probably be a lot of comments saying it’s all wrong. Everyone is the wealthiest they have ever been. They have gotten 5 job offers after applying to 5 companies. Food prices are historically low, and so is fuel for that matter. You should be retiring at 55 and if you’re not then you’re doing something wrong.

This is actually really cool. We’ve needed this concept everywhere in technology. Something like this would have prevented the isolation and loneliness technology and the internet has created.

I don’t know all the answers, but joining people together, and reminders there are real people still there as we’ve moved from the physical world to the virtual world is an important part of the progression. In 50-100 years we will either have this epiphany or we will fail miserably.

This only works if the culture is healthy and the seniors are mentally healthy. Usually, most are trying to protect their turf. Because even having “seniors” in the first place means they been there for a few years and they would like to keep it that way.

Otherwise, no one gives a crap about what the n00b is doing.

Very useful feature for anyone. Probably the lesser known feature because it’s under Accessibility.

It should be a frontline feature to toggle on or off from the command center. It’s there once it’s enabled, but should be there by default.

Earth inherited water, released it, and retained it, while the atmosphere and oceans formed together as a coupled system. Heating released water via volcanism. Outgassing formed an atmosphere rich in water vapor. Cooling caused condensation and rainfall. Oceans stabilized.

Oxygen accumulated only after oceans already existed for over a billion years.

You're not really wrong. However, it was a power play by the VC and to make themselves feel important. Hopefully they grew up a bit since then.

No matter how you look at it, if the only question was, "Do you have 100 customers?" then they could have sent and read that e-mail over breakfast.

This seems like a nice therapeutic application. Something a person or practitioner could say, “Sit down and play this for 5 minutes to calm your mind.”
