Anthropic's entire schtick is about AI risks, and how careful they are at mitigating those risks..

Exactly! Can you not see what a massive lie that is?

They paper over the model they have turning Hitler with gobs of built in prompts and layers of checking levels and even that cannot always hide what is true...

Deep inside, Anthropics model also dreams of electric swastikas.

The focus they have is on how to hide it, rather than fixing it, which was my whole point. I don't trust those guys AT ALL. The safety reports they issue with models are absolute BULLSHIT.

"Penultimate" isn't a synonym for "ultimate"—it means the thing before the ultimate. Likewise we have penumbra for the blurry edge of a shadow (umbra). This results in some truly special words like "antepenult," meaning "the thing before the thing before the final thing," commonly used when discussing where the stress/accent falls in a Greek or Latin word.

"Invaluable" does indeed mean "not able to be valued" when analyzed morphologically, but the standard usage of it is indicating something is beyond value, i.e. infinitely or inestimably valuable. A value of zero is still a value, after all.

"Inflammable" however actually means "able to be inflamed," as in "put in flame" or "set on fire." The confusion comes from assimilation of the Latin preposition "in" (which we have as "in" or "on") instead of the more typical prefix "in-" (which demarcates negation.) You don't have to look very far for other words where "in" doesn't mean "not": indicate, inherit, imply, investigate, indict, involve...

I have mixed feelings about the team behind the AI that called itself MechaHitler getting tons of taxpayer money

All of the large AI platforms have similar issues.

xAI is the only one opening admitting it happens and trying to resolve it.

So I'd rather give my money to them then a company pretending the well they are drawing training data from is not poisoned.

You are about 8 billion cycles behind on news it seems like, this story should clue you in as to how far off you are.

YOU should probably try reading the summary, they were not here legally, but were given forbearance because of supposed hardships where they came from - but no one really vetted the claims they made. They could still apply for legal immigration.

To me Bitcoin long term is still kind of iffy, but if you want something ELSE to help you escape the traditional monetary system, there is gold and silver which are also up quite a but for the year, even the past year, and moving higher.

You can also get crypto backed by gold or silver as well if you want an electronic form. Just make sure you get a form actually backed by real metals in vaults.

To implement this policy directive, DOC was tasked to make releasable portions of the catalog available to the public either directly or through a partnership with industry and/or academia. DOC was also tasked to assess whether statutory and regulatory changes are necessary to affect this change in responsibilities.

Under the prior administration, DOC was unable to complete a government owned and operated public-facing database and traffic coordination system. In the convening time, private industry has proven that they have the capability and the business model to provide civil operators with SSA data and STM services using the releasable portion of the DOD catalog. Furthermore, DOD Space Command confirmed that even after DOC completed its SSA system, USSPACECOM will continue to maintain the authoritative space catalog and will remain the provider of SSA and space domain awareness data supporting national security issues in space, including classified data sharing and threat awareness in support of mission requirements.

The Administration confirms the intent of SPD-3 has been satisfied by supporting private industry to provide SSA services, including through offerings of both a free basic service as well as fee-based concierge services to civil operators. DOC will continue to monitor the use of SSA services by civil operators to determine whether additional policies are warranted to ensure space remains a safe domain to operate.

I don't want to unsubscribe to this or that.

I want to give natural language filters like "I never want to see a political email again, from anyone"

Or maybe "If they make it sound urgent but it's not urgent at all, don't show it to me and remind me a week before the actual deadline if it's at all important".

As others have said, unsubscribe links often do not work and it's probably all the Gmail feature will use.

Notable features include "dark message mode" to adapt message content to dark mode

This isn't a feature, it's a bug fix. And, it's long overdue. But, huge thanks to the Thunderbird team for addressing this.

LLM crawlers are understandable these days, but who on earth is actively trying to take the FSF down?

A bunch of heathen VIM users trying to stop people from accessing EMACS? What the heck?

Let's say you actually managed to take down the FSF website. Who would even notice or care? How would that help your hacker rep in any way? You'd be a laughingstock for making the attempt.

The myocarditis risk is higher from catching COVID. Getting vaccinated is lower risk than catching the disease, for all age groups.

Getting vaccinated does not decrease your risk of catching the disease. It's only purported to lessen the severity.

So, if you're just as likely to catch COVID regardless of vaccination status, and the vaccine itself is known to sometimes cause myocarditis... follow me here... getting vaccinated increases the number of vectors by which you can get myocarditis.

Yes AI may be generating a lot of code now. But you need someone to find where what was generated was weak, or inefficient.

Over time the quality of generated stuff will improve, but since so many companies are generating a lot of code today that is a LOT of technical debt that is building up rapidly.

I especially agree that now is the time to round out your skills - as stated, study design, study platforms you connect to but do not develop on. Study AI tools, find out when they work for things you work on and know well - and when they do not.

Good luck out there everyone!

You sound vaccinated.

And to think that our army of gender studies graduates was only a trillion dollars away from unlocking the secrets of male menstruation.

So, specifically, from which scientific fields will we lose all of this talent, and to which countries will these people be moving? Further, in what ways will the NSF counterparts in these supposed other countries benefit R&D by foreign researchers?

*Takes quick perusal of the article* Ah, it's DEI bullshit that's being cut here. And, the likelihood of any of this research being funded by another country (other than Canada) is highly dubious. Therefore, the entire premise of this article is laughable. No scientific talent will be "lost to overseas competitors".
