It doesn't say, but I'll bet he doesn't have backups either.

Dude right in the middle of the summary it says there was a rollback that worked:

  Replit initially told Lemkin the database could not be restored, claiming it had "destroyed all database versions," but later discovered rollback functionality did work.

Still scary stuff that you'd want a lot more manual and separated control of backups I would think.

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.

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.

As I said, as your positions get harder and harder to find any support for, your posting has turned increasingly angry. Fun game—go through your last 50 posts and see how many different people you called stupid?

Sure, that's a common usage of the word pledge, but again, it's hardly exclusive. Pledge just don't have the connotation of "charity" in general usage in the United States.

Pretty interesting the Australian English has a very different connotation! Pledge is a common word in the states.

Some American examples of pledge in the public discource:

etc

Gweihir is kind of infamous for refusing to admit that LLMs have any possible usage or that anyone is using them in a productive capacity today. His posts have been becoming increasingly strident of late.

I don't like the term "AGI" because it's still nebulous and means different things to different people. The shifting window of vocabulary meanings in the AI field is rough. In the 1980s people regularly talked about chess as an AI problem. Now you can find plenty of people who say that's not AI. Ditto for Go (once Go became a defeated AI problem, it suddenly is no longer worthy of being considered AI). All the things I learned when I took an AI class ~25 years ago are now often derided as not AI (neural networks, A* and other search trees algorithms, etc).

There's a group of people who want to continue to goal shift until the only goal is "human intelligence" and if it's not human intelligence, it's not AI.

I think the definition of "AGI" = "Ability to learn" anything is close. But, can your average human learn anything? I'm not so sure.

Does it matter if the same AI program can answer math questions (or protein folding, whatever) AND plan a warehouse robot travel route AND summarize legal documents?

For now at least, throwing more people-time, processing time, and processing capacity at these models does seem to make a big difference. I've been playing around with some downloadable models, and this technology is improving so quickly. I can't imagine what it will be like in 2 years or 5 years or 10 years or 20 years.

I would bet on Zuckerberg over Gweihir.

I've seen that. It's pretty fun. I would, unironically, watch that spinoff.

While you can use the word "pledge" to refer to a promised future donation to a charity (see, e.g., "pledge drive"), it's not an exclusive meaning. For native English speakers, I would not say that "pledge" particularly brings up the connotation of charity. Pledge just means to promise or vow something. "I pledge allegiance..." or "I pledge my support for this candidate." Etc.

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.

Despite very credible allegations, Biden was never convicted of raping raping Tara Reade. And his daughter's recollections of him inappropriately showering with her outlasted any statute of limitations. But I see where you're going, there. The rest is a good fit, right down to the weaponized government, for sure. The plot twist is that the real kingpins are behind the scenes, using him as a puppet. It's good villain story line material fresh from real life.

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.

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.

They actually normally DO! That's always been one of the big Slashdot slanders of Apple -- that they're not the first mover, they just copy other people but do it really well. (I don't entirely agree, but that's neither here nor there for this conversation.)

Liquid Glass does give me serious Vista vibes, and so far, I don't get it. I've only tried it on one device so far, so I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'm not incredibly optimistic.

It's a real joy to use the old versions of OSX. I miss those days. Aqua was a lot of fun.
