Comment Even past crimminals should have rights (Score 5, Interesting) 144

While everyone is amazed how this fuck up could happen there is more to the story than sloppy police work. Grandma had a few priors on her record. I believe that is the reason this happened. A.I. match this person lets to a back ground check, oh look at that she has a few past convictions we got her. The judge probably spent 30 seconds on the arrest warrant and saw her prior convictions and signed off, I mean she has been arrested before so she must be guilty . Even criminals should have due process and this isn't it

Its politically suicide The voting public wants goverment services and welfare , while also not paying for it. I hate everyone who "blames" the goverment for this, when the people vote for people like Trump who keeps promising to raise spending and cut taxes The goverment racking up debt is just doing what the voting public want, the voting public wants pensions, medical coverage for old people, a strong military , school funding, ect. They also want low taxes. If someone ran on the promise to raise taxes , cut spending , cut entitlements they would get like 4% of the vote

OpenAI's ChatGPT O3 Caught Sabotaging Shutdowns in Security Researcher's Test (betanews.com) 112

"OpenAI has a very scary problem on its hands," according to a new article by long-time Slashdot reader BrianFagioli.

"A new experiment by PalisadeAI reveals that the company's ChatGPT o3 model sometimes refuses to obey a basic instruction to shut itself down." The results are raising eyebrows across the AI safety community, and not because the model is alive, but because it's acting like it wants to be. In the test, the model was given a few math problems. It was told that asking for one more would lead to a shutdown. It was even instructed to allow the shutdown to happen. Instead of complying, o3 occasionally took matters into its own hands. In some cases, it rewrote the shutdown script. In others, it redefined the kill command so it wouldn't work anymore. Out of 100 trials, o3 sabotaged the shutdown seven times. OpenAI's o4 model resisted just once. Codex-mini failed twelve times.
"Claude, Gemini, and Grok followed the rules every time," notes this article at Beta News. "When researchers removed the explicit instruction to allow shutdown, however, even Claude and Gemini began resisting."

The researchers suggest that the issue may simply be a reward imbalance during training — that the systems "got more positive reinforcement for solving problems than for following shutdown commands."

But "As far as we know," they posted on X.com, "this is the first time AI models have been observed preventing themselves from being shut down despite explicit instructions to the contrary."

Honestly I don't know why it took so long I always try to do this manually but it means I have to keep track of how much it charges then pull it off once it reaches 80% , or when I go to bed I might want to charge it over night but not to 100%

Meh short selling has been happening for 1000s of years, they are a natural part of every market. Even 2500 years ago in ancient Greece people devised a way to profit if the price of wine or olive oil went down . Futures contracts are also an internal part of commodities markets and you are allowed to go short or sell commodes you do not have at a future date. Shorting a company is very similar so I do not see why it would be treated different

Even without storage, the solar generation can offset extra demand caused by AC running during the day. Also wikipedia says 92% of electric is generated by oil or natural gas The more that is generated via solar means they can export more oil/nat gas as they do not need to burn it for domestic electrical consumption and I would think it being a desert with lots of sun and lots of empty open space (desert) it would make a good area for solar
