LLMs have certainly made people get really into conspiracy theories. *eyeroll*

The LLMs didn't just off on their own decide to look for hypervisor bugs. Users told it to look for hypervisor bugs. The timing means that multiple users did so at roughly the same time - probably in response to some news of some sort.

Flying low over the central flyway during migration season might not be a good idea.
Geese are non-compressible fluids as far as jet turbines are concerned.

Probably a Canadian Geese trying to sneak into America.

Canada Geese can apparently fend off Bald Eagles, so why not Falcons (F-16s). :-)

The Full Story Behind the White House’s Eagle v Canada Goose Post

T]he official White House X account reposted a photograph of a bald eagle pinning a Canada goose ... It appeared the image was intended to symbolize American dominance over its northern neighbor ...

The full set of pictures from the incident show the bald eagle launching multiple attacks against the Canada goose over roughly 20 minutes. At several points, the goose appears pinned to the ice and in danger of being killed.

However, the goose repeatedly stands back up, spreads its wings and confronts the eagle. By the end of the encounter, the eagle gives up and leaves while the goose remains alive.

I keep seeing arguments that the "AI Will Kill Us All" argument is a bunch of doomsaying by people who overestimate the potential intelligence of these systems.

Or some people who have money invested in AI and only care about the short-term, like Trump dismisses AI alarms as a ‘HOAX’ and "SICK conspiracy."

(Pro Tip: When Trump calls something a hoax, (a) he's probably somehow personally invested (emotionally, politically, financially, etc...) in people believing him and (b) it probably isn't a hoax and the reality is somehow bad for him and (c) the more he complains, the worse it is / will be for the rest of us.)

Comment Training (Score 1) 140

I live in a very rural area. We have no military bases within hundreds of miles, but we are on a military training flight route. We see all the fighter aircraft on a weekly basis flying over (very low), and a very small rural airport somehow got set up to refuel Osprey's on their flight routes. So we see Osprey's nearly every day flying over.

My point is that scheduling a plane to fly over a game at a specific time is pretty much inconsequential because these things are flying CONSTANTLY around the country for training. They have to rack up the hours one way or another.

Submission + - U.S. almost attacked Chinese ship over hallucinated AI nuclear arms report (cnn.com)

fahrbot-bot writes: CNN is reporting that an AI hallucination of Chinese nuclear components almost led to US military attack on a Chinese ship.

The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.

The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode. According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.

It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.

The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

The kind of “hallucination” that the tool used by the analyst in this case conjured has not been an isolated incident across the intelligence community since these tools began proliferating across government, according to one of the sources.

If your code doesn't compile in Rust just wrap it with unsafe { }
Hacking around and doing it the wrong way is much easier than figuring out how to get a complicated data structure through the borrow checker and value** lifetimes.

** I think of Rust values as objects in the general sense.
