Comment Re:Let's see in six weeks... (Score 1) 92

I seem to remember the Iraq-area wars that the US was involved in going on far longer and less of an oil crisis happening this fast.

That would be because even during those wars and conflicts, we didn't have an orange-painted pedophilic retard with delusions of grandeur causing a weekslong blockage of the major shipping lane through which ~35% of the world's crude oil trade flows.

The closest we've seen recently was when the Ever Given got stuck in the Suez during 2021, and even that only lasted for 6 days. Plus, it wasn't as big a deal because less oil was being used worldwide during pandemic countermeasures.

The closest in the past 100 years is when Treasonous Klanbitch Ronny Reagan betrayed the USA and convinced the Iranian Ayatollah to cut off shipping to hurt Carter in the 1980 election, in trade for guns and other military supplies that the Treasonshit Republicans paid out later during Reagan's terms.

Obviously. Also obviously, "Mythos" is just gradually better, not fundamentally. I expect they have just fed in a catalog of known security problems. Or maybe they have a backend connection to Fortify or Coverty. In that case, they would just have added decades old tech that does a lot better.

There is also a second aspect: Nobody found these issues before, including no attacker. Hence they were not actually a problem. Now they are.

The whole thing is a series of lies by misdirection and LLMs turn out to be more and more of a "permanent delivery scam" were it is always a future version that will finally make good on the promises. The technology is not worthless. But the permanent lying about what it can do has to stop.

When I visited the UK last year, I went through customs. It took one of those facial recognition scans. There was no opt-out, there was no agent at the booth, I got no stamp in my passport.

Whatever system they're using already needs to be so pervasive that their solution to "papers, please" is to take the "paper" part out of it. This doesn't surprise me at all...but it would be somewhat fun to attempt using this app on a rooted phone.

You seem to be completely ignorant as to what "reasoning" actually means. Stacking unreliable steps is not reasoning, regardless of whether some marketing people make different claims, because inaccuracies and hallucination risks multiply and hence errors grow exponentially with depth. That makes this approach non-suitable for any reasoning tasks.

Also it's funny this judge hands this down to Anna's Archive, but the judge in the Meta/LLM case did fuck all nothing for their bullshit.

This was a default judgement as no one was present to defend Anna's Archive. As such, since no one objected, the remedy is the one proposed by the plaintiffs. This is how the legal system works, there is nothing unusual going on here.

The "worldwide injunction" is, however, an issue the judge should have stepped in on. The USSC ruled on the subject last year that universal injunctions are beyond the power of a district court to grant.

It's really not nonsensical, actually. Base load can be incredibly expensive. If they can avoid firing up the most expensive plant, they make more money. It's really that simple. Even though it seems "free" to you, what's really going on is that you have become part of the supply side of the equation by using power when it's there, and then _not_ using it when an expensive plant would have to be turned on. This is really a case where everybody wins.
