a doozie to debug

Open Claw Two-point-oh is here,

This was inevitable, face it

...and if the laptop drive wasn't even encrypted, even more of a fool.

Sucks to have stuff stolen, but the individual is responsible for taking at least basic precautions to protect property - including intellectual.

...and a former Mainframe op, this means very little to me unless / until it has a decent TUI and/or GUI interface to report on, configure, and manage things.

Give me an ISO to boot and an interface as described above, and I'll dedicate some time to testing it.

tldr. The problem with this is the timing and a trust problem.. and likely would entail a solution that puts these big companies inside your firewall after all they're the only trusted AI resources. We've read a lot of dystopian science fiction about where that leads.

1. Create super haxxor llm. It's so scary we can't even control it!
2. Sell subscriptions to anti-haxxor cybersecurity services
3. IPO

Companies like Crowdstrike and Okta sold secure services that weren't so this is a way to make them look more competent too.

If any of the signees are serious about it they should put 10 billion dollars into a joint trust to support open source advanced security systems R&D. Let some of their scientists also join in. If it includes an LLM component it is optional and can use local AI resources. This will get results faster. But OSS can also do it without the big bucks too.

How long before the labels start going after new artists that sound like existing ones?

You know, where someone is "inspired" by a singer, a band or a songwriter that they've idolized for years and thus their own creations are heavily influenced by those artists?

If there's a chance for a new Lambo or Porsche in the corporate car park at EMI or WMG you *know* they'll be working on such law suits right now!

I've also wondered why there's no restriction on voice-actors who impersonate famous people -- but if you do it with AI then you are right in the firing line.

Batteries not included

Eh? I'm kidding of course.

Thanks for your interesting post. Never been to Ottawa but introduced the Books of Wonder bookstore in NYC to Charles de Lint (great Ottawa author) and was surprised they didn't know him. They are a fabulous bookstore for kids and teens mainly. I have enjoyed Montreal but once I led a group of 20 teens to France for a 1 month study abroad. I was 20, the leader was an American who only spoke Canadian French. Everyone ignored her French and only listened to me, and mine was passable nothing incredible. So if teaching Canadian French dialect fails to include French-French comprehension that might be a problem if kids then want to communicate in Europe, Africa etc. My brother and I speak Japanese and his kids have learned Chinese so yeah, considering the changing trade relationships probably more exposure to Chinese and European languages may be a good idea. As for content requirements? Maybe promoting Canadian English and Canadian French works is good maybe 25-50%? And then just allow all languages to be available. Honestly there are worlds beyond and even just browsing Amazon of another country can be enlightening. I would propose a law to allow simultaneous access to all countries' app stores, this has been a major issue for me on iPhone as different apps need to be updated and you can only have one active.

I'd also add an SDR to that kit... opens up a whole new world if you're needing it for a survivalist or prepper situation.

A cheap RTLSDR stick and wire antenna will do the job fine with one of the many SDR programs that'll run on the Pi.

The only reason other sites like Amazon, Google aren't doing it is because they hadn't thought of it yet.

Answer: No, using AI to write an op-ed has no impact on the report about dismal math skills, besides improving the organization and legibility of the report which is a positive. The most important point is that college students lack elementary school arithmetic skills, and no test is being used to replace SATs. Actually AI might be useful in both teaching remedial skills as well as in evaluating readiness for college. Maybe some effort could be put into developing free, online automated teaching assistance that does not track you, that can be used by any prospective student to see where they stand and attempt to advance. Maybe a non-judgemental, free AI tutor with multiple teaching methods available to it could teach kids fractions for example, and it could be done long before college entrance.

Not going to happen!!!

Amazon is hoping to fly 80lb behemoths over populated areas to drop things from about 12 feet -- while all-too-often crashing into things. Of course to be fair, how could a drone possibly avoid an apartment building or a crane (twice). Last time it was a ladder strapped to the roof of a van.

These things are not only dangerous but hugely uneconomic. Nothing beats a gig-worker on an ebike!

As in, before the dreaded Doomscroll?
