Not only are they using novel AI-driven target selection technology, they changed the 'acceptable collateral damage' from 0 to 25 civilians per fighter for the recent genocide, without adding humans to the analysis loop. This is A

Is this a problem? Having your country commit genocide should be very confronting. Is there a particular right to defend this?

The 'consumer data extractor' (hardware) team is teaming up with the 'consumer manipulator' (AI) team, and all free of any inconvenient 'dont be evil' policy. What a time to be alive!

We have altered the options; pray we do not alter them further.

How?

It's interesting how the article spins that 'increasing distrust of institutions' will be driven by 'misinformation'. Rather than the 'realize how broke they are' part.

This is the newspaper which printed umpteen unexamined articles about WMDs in Iraq yeah? Read it, it's good to know what the powerful want you thinking about.

My Iphone 12 recently spent a full night in a gutter during a rainstorm, water rushing over it. It was completely fine, didn't even seem to bother the hotspot. Wonder how my warranty's doing.

This article is bullshit. SMH indeed.

Should Tolkien sue the Danish mythologists, or should another derivative work sue Tolkien?

Why would they not?

I absolutely love the internet. I pay for satellite internet so I can be sure that wherever I go, a battery and a laptop are all I need to stay connected. I can access the world's art, literature, science, history, the greatest and the

Two weeks ago M$ bricked my father’s laptop with an update. Reinstalled, bricked it again. Went Mac, not going back.

Mac laptops are also superior in every way (excluding gaming).

I think you're right, especially for things like database applications, but also that when we're talking about things like agents or UI the goal is rarely anything to do with the structure of the code or data - it's to solve

I think this demonstrates a hypothesis: The institution is failing, the technology which exploits the failure is close to irrelevant.

I agree that malicious actors will always be able to exploit holes in existing tools, it's an endless arms race. I worry as much about the use of these fears as a means to established centralised control of AI tools, rather than streng

Maybe... the obligation of ongoing contact just because it's possible is just as damaging to people who need space and focus. Not every relationship has a denouement. Sometimes there's nothing to say that is better than nothing, o

Another reason I am in love with LLMs. You don’t need to know the software like the back of your hand - a new environment is like a new programming language, as long as you’re able to ask the right questions new environments will be far mor

Unrelated, but this afternoon Microsoft decided I couldn’t use my laptop for 10 minutes for mandatory updates, which was a serious problem. And now the search feature doesn’t work anymore. If it wasn’t for the game support being important f

Purely conjecture, but somehow I suspect that private equity has crunched the numbers and decided it's time to milk this one dry.

"Sutra" is a rule, method, or teaching. Game-a/Gamer speaks for itself. Personally I perceived the name as cleverer than they give it credit for, not just a cheap play on words, but I suppose if that's the mindset it was

Side note: Gamasutra.com -> GameDeveloper.com gotta be one of the worst brand identity decisions in recent memory.

Precisely. I spent weeks learning about cybersecurity when GPT-4 first came out, as I could finally ask as many stupid questions as I liked, get detailed examples and use-cases for different attacks and defenses, and generally actually lear

The LLM does democratize knowledge, but you have to be the user of the LLM, not the target of the user of the LLM. The LLM is the most powerful knowledge tool ever to exist. It is both a librarian in your pocket. It is an expert in everythi
