It’s extremely premature to celebrate something which hasn’t been shown to work in its intended application, nor at the original specs.

Stallman also wrote that a Jeffrey Epstein victim may have been “entirely willing.” Not a really a great source for anything. If you must cult, cult someone else please.

Also, several portions of the original Patriot Act have expired and were not renewed. Just like when Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus, wartime powers expand, and then contract in peacetime.

Mandatory? The most common scenario is that a nation-state acquires a powerful AI and uses it to destroy its enemies. You cannot “kill switch” that scenario. The naïveté from these Anthropic dorks is unbelievable.

A kill switch is not an option when a huge chunk of the economy depends on agents to even operate at all. We’re almost there.

Flock records public events. None of these apply. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public space and the courts have been quite clear on this. Actual legislation would need to be passed to restrict what can be recorded in p

It’s because the CEO wears glasses and cars are made to look like their CEOs, just like dogs resemble their owners.

Rivian’s mission is to clone Tesla. That’s it. So of course they’re going to do this half baked garbage. Even if they add LIDAR, they will never attract the talent or have the resources to do this right. The CEO’s exorbitant pay package bas

Streaming is expensive, both in terms of machine and human cost, and the benefit is quite marginal for most applications. However, Google engineers need to get promotion somehow, you know?

The title includes the word “visualizing” but there is not a single diagram in this article. Is English not the first language of the author?

The EFF, just like social media, does more harm than good, and lacks imagination. It is possible to protect kids from social media and preserve our freedoms and privacy. The EFF is just too full of chicken-little boomers to see it. FOAD,

Bill Gates, convicted monopolist and friend to Epstein, is always looking to burnish his legacy, but he’s too unimaginative. He needs to spend his fortune ending aging, not duplicating government efforts and trying to be a pundit.

Once again we see the classic PR hype machine tactic of comparing a newer chip which is only available as an engineering sample to other chip designs which are widely available and much older. They also fawn over the chip’s TDP when all oth

The new modern workflow is to take a succinct idea and expand it into pages and pages of slop using AI. Nobody reads this slop, they ask another AI to summarize it back down to the original succinct core.

Jesus, he left Google to do what everyone else is already trying to do? He must be so insulated he doesn’t realize what the real world is actually up to. I mean, organizations started on this exact same mission three or four years ago. Or l

Own? You don’t own someone else’s work. Even when it goes into public domain, you don’t own their creation. At that point, nobody does.

The multithreaded front end crashes left and right with different features. No testing done. Won’t accept AI PRs so it will stay broken outside of my personal tree forever.

Now we see two technology ecosystems emerging: the human-zealot software stack and the machine-assisted software stack, where the latter possibly builds on OSS software but it kept from contributing improvements back. One is based on a dino

In many timelines, non-copyrightable code in GPL project doesn’t restrict the user’s freedom, since an LLM can easily reimplement the functionality clean-room. AI has brought levels of freedom to users that GNU could never do. Practical lev

He should, but you'll never get these free software wingnuts to see logic. They back-rationalize everything from ideologically drawn conclusions. And they're driven by fear--fear of being replaced. This is one reason why open sour

The Rust compiler suffers from a number of crash bugs and nondeterminism, and they won't accept AI diagnoses or fixes, so Rust has become an unreliable partner for software development. If you're going to do serious development wi

In two party consent states, 24x7 audio recordings are illegal if anyone else's voice creeps into your recording. And easily fakeable by AI, I imagine.

That is actually better in every way! Assuming the time zones are 2D so the dawn is local. It would probably cut down on cancer rates, too, by harmonizing circadian rhythms.

Boo, in the age of AI we need two dimensional time zones which skew the clock a few seconds every night, continuously, so the sunrise is always at 6 am. Humans were made to rise with the sun.
