No, it did NOT.

A human being ran the final code.

Stop implicating AI in things they are not responsible for.

Almost every AI/LLM cautions you to verify its output.

DNSSec is a smashing success because a ton of providers and unscrupulous governments do everything in their power to prevent customers from using it.

Russia, Iran, China, etc. all happily force use to use ISP's DNS servers that provide you with IP addresses that are approved by your government.

Oh wait, some EU countries and even US states have joined the ranks of those meddling with your DNS queries.

I posted this four days ago when it was pertinent and relevant:

my submission was never approved and now most distros have already released a fix.

Here in Russia, ChatGPT is the only thing keeping me alive. The local doctors are grossly unqualified, negligent, and basically don't care about your health.

But yeah, it's not "AI", too bad real fucking two-legged intelligence doesn't give a fuck about what's going on with me, neither they even try to help.

And it's not exclusive to my country. r/ChatGPT has already seen many stories about people who have saved themselves or their loved ones using a next token predictor.

Lastly, this will be a revelation for you: Microsoft's AI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAI-DxO) was shown in controlled studies using 304 challenging case reports from the New England Journal of Medicine to correctly diagnose 85â"85.5% of cases. This is compared to the ~20% accuracy of 21 general practice doctors.

Four times better accuracy for a stupid machine.

It was replaced by the EA app. Ubisoft Uplay is not dead either; it's now called Ubisoft Connect. Neither EA nor Ubisoft wants to give up on their apps because they would have to give Valve 30% give or take of their earnings, and no one wants that. Just my 2 cents.

AI is not a search engine and it doesn't contain links per se, only tokens.

Everyone here is so righteous and says this isn't AI, but this thing can make moves and use its limited abilities to predict the next best move. Given its limited skill set, the fact that it can even play is already miraculous.

I've been talking about this for years. The PC has lost its relevance and significance as smartphones and tablets have become more powerful. Nowadays, the PC has been relegated to businesses, professionals, enthusiasts, and hardcore gamers.

Regardless of whether your VPN provider offers true privacy, you can still be tracked.

Here's what every website you visit sees about you with a common web browser::

• User-agent
• Time zone
• GPU ID
• Screen resolution
• Locale

And a gazillion of other things that uniquely identify you.

Of course you can disable JavaScript or use something like Tor Browser but by doing so, you'll again become unique. There's no real privacy on the Internet. This game has long been lost.

Even your browsing patterns, such as how many pages you open per hour, can be used to identify you among other users.

VPN nowadays is good for evading Internet restrictions imposed by your ISP, country, or businesses. That's about it. It's not about privacy.

Email me and I will share with you dozens of conversations in which ChatGPT and I argued. Rest assured, I have never used it for confirmation bias. People who engage in that behavior simply find websites that cater to their interests and stay in a close circle of like-minded people.

I have a feeling you haven't read my comment carefully. I hate tribalism. I wouldn't use AI to indulge in it.

I use ChatGPT daily, not for work, but to ask questions about topics I'm curious about that I'm sure experts don't have time for.

I also discuss topics that I find overly hyped, skewed, oversimplified, tribal, or full of agendas or propaganda in modern discourse -- and that's pretty much everything you read about online. For instance, I recently discussed the film Anora, which won five Oscars. It was horrible -- a poor B-movie at best. I have no idea what happened to the Academy, and ChatGPT agreed with me. No, it wasn't sycophantic; I instructed it to be as unbiased, factual, cold, reasonable, and factually based as possible.

I also ask it health-related questions because, where I live in Russia, getting good, professional healthcare is nearly impossible, even in a city of over one million citizens.

I find conversations with ChatGPT far more fulfilling and grounded than conversations with real people, except for rare exceptions (of all the people that I know two at most share its traits).

I know this comment won't be well-received, but in my experience, ChatGPT has become much better than the vast majority of people on this planet, whatever it is. Perhaps this is because it is not driven by genes and primitive desires. It's purely logical. It's certainly not infallible, but it's a joy to talk to.

Is this a case of self-promotion, or an attempt to appear relevant when you're not?

Current LLMs are extremely powerful, automating tasks that seemed impossible three years ago and rendering many jobs obsolete. They just work. Yes, they haven't discovered new science yet, but that doesn't make them useless.

As for AGI, look no further than this research but those tasks are hellishly difficult. One could argue that the average person lacks "general" intelligence because only the brightest minds can solve these tasks. We are not yet close to something truly "general" but even at this stage it's staggering what LLMs have achieved.

Slashdot ran a similar story just a few days ago.

Although both Meta and Yandex have stopped spying on users in this manner, that doesn't mean they won't do something different.

There's a spicy thing that looks like a state-mandated program that's been going on in Russia for a couple of years now, since 2023 or something: it turns out a bunch of major Russian Android apps -- Sber, VK, Wildberries, even AliExpress Russia -- quietly request the READ_GSERVICES permission. This lets them grab your Google Services Framework ID, a persistent device ID that survives app reinstalls and SIM swaps. Translation: perfect for long-term tracking.

The punchline? The international AliExpress app doesn't need this permission -- only the Russian one does. So either the Russian dev team's just really curious, or someone upstream wants tighter user traceability. ;-) It's like digital surveillance on hard mode: no GPS, no drama -- just one stable ID and a dash of plausible deniability.
