I suppose. But if I was an Iranian operative with instructions to damage the morale of the American war machine, I'd absolutely do a series of things like this. It doesn't really harm anyone, but enough similar events and the fa

"Seam" has been a thing since before the AI craze. Wasn't it the NSA director who once said something like "we make our living at the seams"?

HuggingFace offers abliterated/uncensored models, which would seem to run contrary to the "AI is too powerful for regular people" narrative that the big players are pushing. My primary concern is that Nvidia will bow to the p

Sounds like we agree that the USA does not have a truly free market, and that some regulation is essential. I'm glad!

The number of normies visiting urls directly from a CDN is a rounding error. Non technical users like pronounceable domain names. It's why we aren't just using IP addresses. CAS is intimidating to non-technical types.
