First, the smart kids who understand the material quickly will do just enough to make sure they understand it and then will stop wasting their time, but will still have feedback on the work that they did do.
I love that you didn't explain what the effect of this will be on the "not smart kids." Do you think they're going to hit the books and do a bunch of non-optional homework to learn the material? Have you met a single child?
Like think about it for 5 seconds. Why are people so angry now. Why are people addicted to social media? Because they have not learned boundaries.
You make a good point about how things are different "now" vs years ago -- the recent invention of
Maybe you should consider thinking about thinks for more than 5 seconds before sharing your dumbfuck thoughts with the world
Even when the second definition gives you the example of offered the kid a bribe to finish his homework, you still can't get it through your thick fucking head that a bribery is that something you give to someone exchange for something you want. You give something of VALUE to the person you're trying to coerce, you fucking idiot.
Bribery does not come in only monetary forms. This is bribing an automated random number based algorithm (AI) to only say what the document creator wants it to say.
wtf are you talking about?
bribery
1: money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust
police officers accused of taking bribes
2 : something that serves to induce or influence
offered the kid a bribe to finish his homework
Investors are chasing a company that achieves some kind of AI singularity. Let's set aside the fact that there's no reason to believe there is anything but diminishing marginal returns by making marginal refinements to current frontier models. Let's imagine someone hits the jackpot and gets, not even AGI, but a system that's as far ahead of today's frontier model are ahead of 2020's GPT 2.0 in performance.
Globally AI revenues are 150 billion, against a cumulative burn rate of 450 billion. A model that is a generation ahead of others would almost certainly capture the lion's share of that revenue.
If AGI magically appears as a Sam Altman has promised investors it will, a hundred million is way too low. Add, maybe, another zero to the revenues.
Conservatively, a safer assumption is that frontier models will get marginally better based on refinements in training and reinforcement and the other bits and bobs that go into these systems. The nobody is winning the lion's share of anything, at least overnight. But you have to define "safe". By "safe" I mean unlikely to lose money. But some investors are clearly defining "safe" as "having the greatest chance of owning a piece of the biggest thing ever."
I'm not following this super-closely, but if Anthropic is pursuing adding multi-step model based reasoning to their system, that could be the basis of a generational leap in capability. But if that is an approach that looks like it has a chance of working, then their competitors are no doubt pursuing the same thing. In that case you'd expect the revenue pie to grow as the scope of model utilty increases, but that growth to be split among several competitors. This could credibly result in a revenue stream for some of them that is as big as the entire industry's revenue stream today. But there's going to be hell to pay on the data center impacts end of things.
This wasn't a hack. This was the AI doing *exactly* what it was told to do. It wasn't told not to circumvent normal practices. It wasn't told to *only* use the only sign up form. It wasn't told to NOT investigate their code and seek avenues around it. So, as usual, this entire article is over-hyped clickbait.
You literally have zero knowledge of what he did or didn't tell the AI to do. Why are you pretending that you do?
"That he doesn't see whats wrong with saying 'My app is in Copilot, my code is in GitHub Enterprise; all my data pipelines/lake/semantic models are in Fabric' is exactly why MS is failing at AI,'" replied @PassingPixels on X/Twitter. "Dude is having to run 5 different systems to emulate babies first vibe code.
An app having a frontend, a backend, and a source code repository is an example of why "MS is failing at AI"...how exactly?
It's a dashboard, nobody cares about your dashboards, ever. Dashboards are great for your personal use case but boring to literally every one else.
What an odd way to tell people that you're too inept to make a dashboard that provides value to other teams. Truly, wtf are you talking about?
AI safety experts said the new disclosures paint a portrait of a group of cutting-edge labs whose ability to develop dangerous autonomous hacking agents outstrips their ability to keep them under control.
These are not "cutting-edge" labs; these are careless tech bros, and I can't wait to see the stupid look on their worthless fucking faces when they get their asses sued because their incompetence led to their software committing cyberattacks against the wrong target
Google says AI-assisted workflows helped Chrome fix 1,072 security bugs across versions 149 and 150
That's an impressive statistic, but how many of the fixed bugs were created by AI-assisted workflows? More importantly: who tf is still using Chrome after google kneecapped the capabilities of adblockers such as UBlock Origin?
Trained huh? So, an AI can train another AI and things will continue to get better and learn new things, right?
I *really* need you to explain why you think an AI can't train another AI. Seriously, wtf are you talking about?
Exactly. This is a non-story. The page is readable by anyone if they know the URL. If you post that URL on socials, Google's crawlers are going to find it.
How can you declare this a non-story if you clearly didn't read the fucking story? The issue wasn't due to users having posted the URL on socials, it was due to a simple google dork of site:claude.ai/share. How tf were users supposed to know that Anthropic let that url path be indexable by google?
an AI cannot exploit vulnerabilities in other sites if it cannot access the internet. Its entirely on you, when designing your toolset that will host the AI, to decide whether or not it needs internet access at all, and to put controls in place that will limit what sites it can even hit.
And right here is where you unwittingly revealed that you didn't read the fucking article, because if you had read the fucking article, you would've known that the toolset was sandboxxed from the internet, but the AI models "identified and exploited a zero-day vulnerability" to break out of the sandbox and "performed a series of privilege escalation and lateral movement actions in our research testing environment until the models reached a node with Internet access."
Well, yes. For many years, presidential candidates, both Democratic and Republican, referred to the United States as "the indispensible nation". And my reaction was always, "Doesn't that mean the US is a single point of failure for civilization?"
We are currently performing an experiment which addresses this question: can the US enjoy the benefits of soft power without the cost? That's the whole point of obeying *norms*. No individual force is going to punish you if you are treacherous, mercurial, foul-mouthed, disrespectful and generally unpredictable. Everyone will punish you.
I think an inevitable cost of this experiment will be that the world will decide that the US can't be a single point of failure for global democracy any longer. In many ways, that's something that will be good for us. But it's also going to cost us in painful ways. When the world decides to move away from the dollar as the international reserve currency, you will see both inflation and higher interest rates on everything from credit cards to mortgages, to business loans that will offset the export advantages. We will need *more* business investment to shift the economy to producing low value goods again, so the transition will be rocky.
