Looking at other people's response made me think of Lord Of War and War Dogs, both about (real life) accounts of people in the business of selling arms.

That was very illuminating! Do you think you'll try experimenting with some sort of adversarial "agent" setup, where the code isn't released until it passes security review by itself, for each model you are comparing?

Why would you not have (vibe coded) tests that prevent this from happening?

Depends on what you mean by "business," I suppose, but There Will Be Blood is my favorite, about the "business" of exploiting oil in southern CA though it's much more fictionalized than your other choices :)

It feels a bit alarmist as an article - the obvious next step here is for the FOSS community to start adding AI security reviews to their development cycles. But there'll be a bit of a Y2K-style gold rush before that, as everyone panic

Cool - I liked the idea of being a celebrity, just because you are walking around with twins!

I wonder how much of that difference is because Qwen is being downloaded a lot more in China.

Do you know the source for this quote? I would love to read more, if there is more.

That's not the title of the article. Which is, "Baby Shoggoth Is Listening." I suppose that title would have made sense to the majority of this crowd but I thought I'd make it something more accessible.

If their money making methods are ethical then isn't this a better strategy, to leave the decisions to others rather than impose your values on them while alive? Also presumably Buffett and his cohorts are better than others at growing

People WILL lose interest and not re-engage - that's the default state for any social network. You have to figure out why they would come back - is it to re-connect with someone they spoke to, or to read some new content on the site, o

I think you need some moderation technique for any community - mores are not inherent in a society, they are formed through dialogue and enforcement. Digital communities are not immune to this dynamic. The digital tools could help you enfor

There's still a lot of confusion about what exactly this service entails. The Reuters article itself says, "It was not immediately clear how or if Twitter planned to verify the identity of the user beyond charging a fee." Fro

Hey,thanks for the link, really interesting. Lol, though, on the quote from Lemoine, "All the individual people at Google care." I know some individual people at Google who _don't_ care, at least, they don't care about t

I think the author's point is not specifically about the proposition "LaMDA is conscious," but about the proposition, "There is clear consensus on the basis on which to decide that LaMDA is conscious." Your definiti

It's well documented [fte] that news stories about crime rose in the nineties and beyond, as crime rates fell. Whether the dog wagged the tail or the other way round is hard to say - certainly during this period of crime decline, popul

I have read no Klingon philosophy but I have no doubt it's way more consistent than Continental philosophy - possibly because it describes a made-up world, which can be shaped to the philosophy, rather than the other way round. With al

I made that phrase up, though Baudrillard would probably have somewhat agreed - at any rate, he was a cultural critic, so he wasn't interested in the geopolitical causes of events, and more the "semiotic" causes, so to speak.

Baudrillard himself freely admitted at the time that his work was not meant to be taken as "political analysis," or even poetry. He is quoted as suggesting it be read as a SF novel, even :) I usually don't read French philoso

There are some great answers here already, I'll just add a what I think is different perspective on it. Each newspaper is already charging you $0.01 an article, from their perspective. They give you an issue every day that has 100s of
