Comment What odd criticisms (Score 1) 37

First up: Nadella sucks ass, has ruined Microsoft's products, and his little dashboard is probably filled with hallucinated nonsense. That said, wtf even are these criticisms?

"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?

Comment Carelessness != Cutting Edge (Score 4, Insightful) 75

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

Comment How many of those bugs were created by AI? (Score 1) 29

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?

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?

Clearly, this is a PR stunt to generate hype about how advanced their AI is, but if you believe this story the way they say it happened, they're now telling their customers "If you use our software, you are at risk of our software performing cyberattacks against third-parties from your environment"

Comment Re:Agreed. (Score 1) 160

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.

It's a trade off: you get abundant free energy to run the server, with extreme constraints on cooling because your server is running in the most perfect Thermos bottle ever.

Others are taking the opposite tack: undersea data centers for abundant free cooling at the expense of having to get the power down to your servers.

If had to bet on which one is more practial, I'd go with undersea servers. Build them off the coast of Chile, run cables out from batery-backed solar plants in the Atacama desert.

Our team had a pretty unique idea that we all were excited about, but after the pitch our Apple contact stopped answering messages about the promo. Sure enough, 3 months later Apple took the exact idea and used it in a promo for one of their own products on the App Store.

geez man, don't leave us hanging -- what was the idea?

Comment Re:This is good to slow bot/scraper abuse, IMHO (Score 1) 89

he scraping abuse on reddit used to be quite terrible. Every subreddit I enjoy (hobbies + porn) was well moderated, so not a ton of bot bullshit on the actual site, but I saw a lot of my old posts content farmed on shitty websites.

[...]

I was really upset when I found there were sites serving my deleted posts in an easy to search format.

Most people wouldn't share ANY of the facts that (1) they actively make creepy posts on porn subreddits, or that they 2) got "really upset" when they found out that their creepy posts on porn subreddits were archived elsewhere, OR that they 3) consider copying their creepy posts on porn reddits as "stealing from me"

...but then there's you, sharing that with the entire world, without being asked to do so. Just holy shit, lol

So when you found this out, did you demand to talk to the manager of the archving websites?
