But the positive things I or others do, shouldn't be a requirement to criticize an decrees in public funding for those things, or the lack of personal charity. Say what you want about Gates, he does appear to be incredibly creepy, however at least he has given huge chunks of money away and I hope he continues to do that.

Personally, More than any financial adviser says is prudent, given my income level. I used to be hands on in the trenches, but funding was bad, so I figured the better way was to work for much more money and donate to the hands on charities doing the work.

What were the "Horrifying ways" exactly? Getting a judge to issue a warrant? Thats obviously a precedent that the government has turned away from using.

Ok Snowden referenced, can we clear the air with him finally? He stole some information and had the guts to divulge it at high personal cost to himself. Great Good and Great. But don't fucking listen to any thing he has to say outside of it. He fled to Russia, which, if it is better at personal liberties than the United states, its only because it doesn't have more money to institute more surveillance. He has no great insight. He did a good thing, that doesn't make him president of doing good things, and certainly not a God like figure others hold him up to be.

Here here, agreed. Good thing all the libertarians who really valued personal freedom guaranteed in the constitution backed the one person who absolutely did not value any of the constitution at all. Good job principled conservatives You see when you say you believe something, you have to actually act on those beliefs and not just use them as a shield for your rampant xenophobic, misogynic, racist beliefs.

What!!! Sam Altman not following through with a promise!?! A legal one at that ?!?! Just screwing people over when ever it suits him?!? Crazy times when you can't trust the guy no one trusts at all and was fired over his blatant lies.

No man, you just aren't on enough LSD to understand. AI on planes, like Autopilot on cars but for planes! They can be like self flying, except for the take off and landing. Those will be real coming soon, probably in two months in Full Self Flying Beta, but will require a pilot to have his hands on the controls at all times and cost $200,000 a month per plane pilot combination. Now Full Self Flying un assisted can will be by the end of the year, pending regulatory approval which we've been told will absolutely happen. Then Full Self Flying, look ma no hands edition will be early next year. Then Full self flying, no pilot in seat q2 next year. Then Full self flying no pilot in cockpit in q3. Then full self flying no pilot secretly flying from the back of plan in q4. Before the final full self flying no "pilot" on same plane, but qualified flight director disguised as mid flight entertainment clown and "playing the part of some one flying the plane". the following year.

Yeah, I have some minor complaints. But overall it seems like a huge improvement in many cases. I think its best summed up in the summary

New Blood Interactive founder and CEO Dave Oshry, adding that future generations "won't even know this looks 'bad' or 'wrong' because to them it'll be normal."

Oh Noes! future generations will like different things than Me. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The kids must like what I want them to like!

I'm guessing you're either really young or just have forgotten how datelines work. The reporting was done in Brussels about events in Switzerland Likely just the head of an EU reporting bureau reporting on something in Europe.

So what you're saying is if the user behind the Stop cop city proton email account had done this, they still would have been discovered.

Anthropic does most defiantly not have the power here. If you think the current "Secretary of War" will hesitate to use force of any kind to get what he wants, you're mistaken. No AI currently built will protect you from the US war machine working in conjunction with US Federal law enforcement.

Yes, he does. But so does Anthropic. I think they're just arguing over who gets to credit for creating it.

But my current phone is 5 years old... I was hoping for a new 10a that would be better than last years 9a so it would be more future proof and last another 5 years. Now it seems like it might only last 4 years. Don't know what Imma gonna do.

Anthropic is prepared to loosen its current terms of use, but wants to ensure its tools aren't used to spy on Americans en masse, or to develop weapons that fire with no human involvement.

The Pentagon claims that's unduly restrictive, and that there are all sorts of gray areas that would make it unworkable to operate on such terms. Pentagon officials are insisting in negotiations with Anthropic and three other big AI labs â" OpenAI, Google and xAI â" that the military be able to use their tools for "all lawful purposes."

Honestly, long release cylces can be just as much of a pain in the ass if everyone else is upgrading before you, you're left supporting software whos devs have long since forged ahead on later versions, leading to your bug reports getting ignored and or other software breaking it due to incompatibility wiht the old versions.
