I imagine the folks over at NSA must be rubbing their hands over the possibilities this will open up for querying the data they have been diligently storing over the years.
- croes 3y agoThat's the point where hallucinations are pretty dangerous.
- pmarreck 3y agoNot too hard to verify.
- dylan604 3y agoVerify? There are plenty of examples where things have been "verified" to prove a point. WMDs ring a bell?
- pmarreck 3y agoWhat is your point? That obtaining absolute knowledge of truth is impossible, and therefore anything claiming to be true is worthless? In general, be careful not to kill "good" on the way to attempting to obtain "perfect" in vain. And GPT4's hallucination rate is quite low at this point (may of course depend on the topic).
- dylan604 3y agoNot at all. I'm coming from the opposite side saying that anything can be "verified" true if you just continue to repeat it as truth so that people accept it. Say often, say it loud. Facts be damned
- pmarreck 3y agoYes but that's the argument by repetition (ad nauseam) fallacy
- dylan604 3y agofallacy or not, it works.
- phatfish 3y agoThis has always happened and will continue always happening. Best not get caught up on it, just put people right when you feel you have the facts to back it up.
- dylan604 3y ago10 years ago, I would have agreed with you. Today, facts are useless. Once someone has picked a side, there is no changing it for the majority of people.
- 0dayz 3y agoUSA never technically lied about Sadam's WMD, as he had used it against the kurds and during the war with Iran. They did lie about Sadam trying to get nukes. Now the problem is whenever the WMD was produced before or after 1991 as that was when Iraq agreed to dismantle.

- avarun 3y agoPalantir already provides this product to them.
- barnabees 3y agoPalantir provides this by re-packaging and re-selling GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini
- hehhehaha 3y agoPalantir sells a glorified Airflow instance
- speedgoose 3y agoI heard it’s a big Cassandra too. But that’s only the backends and the frontend and their data engineers are important too.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoThey could always try using tech to reduce their false positive rate rather than increase it.
- jeffbee 3y agoNSA does not have large-scale storage. If they did, it would be in a building somewhere, it would have electric power and they would have bought storage devices for it from some company. The largest-known actual NSA datacenter is the size of a runty leftover from having built a real cloud datacenter, and there's only one of those while FAMG have hundreds of far larger datacenters.
- CobrastanJorji 3y agoPhew, glad the NSA doesn't have any large scale storage. Big relief. By the way, what do they use their $10 billion AWS contract for?
- jeffbee 3y agoI know it's not storing every email, phone call, photo, and video ever transmitted on the internet, like certain people want you to believe. A $10b AWS contract would not even amount to enough storage to keep one copy of the public web.
- resolutebat 3y agoI'm fairly sure the budget of archive.is is less than $10B. (Admittedly they don't store videos though.)

- jeffbee 3y agoIf you think 100,000 square feet is a large data center, you obviously do not work in the industry.
