It was sent to the east coast and offloaded a group of largely incompetent spies/saboteurs.

I *think* all were caught post-hasty, but my recall is fuzzy... Some may have faded into the woodwork.

It seems Putins' Russia has declared war on the world. We just haven't acknowledged it yet.
 

Remember how the Boston marathon bomber was "identified" by the mob and hounded? This is simply the next iteration.

So, yes, Yale CAN be sued for acting on this.
They will certainly lose, in time.

I can only hope the loss will be large enough to make them think before acting on unverified, anonymous reporting.

Are you there to develop skills or to build a network of connections?
In a Cambridge-style debate, I heard on NPR 20 years ago the proponents of the later proposition carried the debate.
This seems to show that this has become the majority view.
The problem is that the students and the instructors don't agree on the goals

H1B Visas

LiFePo, not LFP

because another phrase for this is price gouging

... and digging a bit, I've seen that the prompt for the task, actually included the instruction to perform in this way.

This isn't particularly frightening. It's a computer program performing as instructed.

The articles that imply the program did things like this on it's own ARE frightening... Why was that decision made?

MBAs are taught to get the most bang for the buck...
So yeah, the H1Bs are almost certainly safe
They're cheap

The headline is written as thought he LLM just up and replicated itself

Then we see this:

The study explored two specific scenarios: "shutdown avoidance" and "chain of replication." In the first, the AI model was programmed to detect whether it was about to be shut down and to replicate itself before it could be terminated. In the other, the AI was instructed to clone itself and then program its replica to do the same -- setting up a cycle that could continue indefinitely.

The damned this was told to do it The program performed as expected... And they're "frightened"?

I know, it's unusual for programmers to actually write code that works, but...

IT workers are no longer princes of the realm and now are mechanics in the factory

At one time, to be an auto mechanic, one needed to understand metallurgy and mechanical engineering because often parts had to be made on the fly... Then it became a kind of "best practice".

Unsurprising really

In 40 years of job hunting, MOST of my applications went nowhere

I think some expectations need to be more in line with reality

A Galaxy S23 (two years old) is SOL

Watch for some small church to wipe themselves out

What's the "parent company"?

Single point of failure is something the financial mavens that aggregated these papers don't seem to know about.

I wish I had mod point to mod this up
