If you ignore the policy question of do cops even need access to the kind of capabilities Flock tech provides, this particular case becomes a pretty clear example of user error amplified by the capabilities of the tech and not the issue wit

The entire economy collapsing would likely heavily affect you even if you have no financial stake in AI-related companies similarly to how subprime mortgage crisis in the 2000s affected even people without mortgages.

0.5t/s is still too slow even for email. For a moderately large inquiry (1MTok output, let's ignore the 4k context window limitation for now) it'll take the model around 23 days or uninterrupted execution to answer a single e

Not that I disagree, but to play Devil's advocate for a second... I think DHH was trying to refer to junkies and homeless people most of whom happen to be immigrants. The immigration status is the particular attribute that invites usag

People don't treat violent videogames as boyfriends. They do it to chatbots. Merits and sanity of this type of behavior aside, it's actively happening and we have learn how to live with it and deal with consequences.

I don't think it's realistically traceable or attributable. But plenty of people these days supplement or even completely replace their social needs with AI chatbots (AI friends/boyfriends/girlfriends etc). People like t

Sure, but I'm not sure allowing AI agents to act as abuse sponges for troubled people enabling them to spiral into their unhealthy habits is good idea that would lead to great outcomes long term. So I'd rather take LLM pretending

That's not the point. The point is that the title makes it seem like the Israeli's government is spying on you, while what the article really says is that US is buying Israel's tech to spy on its own citizens. The title misre

Good, it seems like new AI tools would lead to substantially more hardened Linux kernel long term. Until a new generation of AIs finds more bugs.
