Maybe Trump is angling for a new job when his presidency of the USA ends: deputy president of Russia.

Because they will become even harder to identify due to polymorphism and constant evolution than the 80's worm viruses.

It depends on the scope of the model. Don't expect a ChatGPT model, but a model designed for self-replication, vulnerability utilization and information theft/ransomware.

What many forget is that a lot of automation today is done using PLCs, but they aren't designed well for security. Their goal is to be reliable and have architecture designs from the 1980's that haven't changed much since.

The Trump era has now put the US on a blacklist for many new investments.

It's a slow move that takes time, but it's there. It will take decades for the US to regain trust.

US bonds are also seen as less reliable today so lenders outside the US are slowly leaving them, which means that more bond buyers have to be found in the US. This in turn lead to the US$ to be less trusted and trade values like US$/barrel for oil may end and be replaced by other measurements.

The US inflation is already rising, which is another sign that it's not well in the US.

There's also a worry that the midterm election is going to be compromised by Trump. If there's suspicion that it has been compromised then that will also hurt the trust between the US and Europe.

We use both in production here; but, let's be VERY CLEAR: there is absolutely NO FAIR COMPARISON between a locally hosted model on above-average hardware and what Anthropic (and I assume others) is offering with their, currently, subsidized plans.

It depends on what you regard as most important: a company making a lot of money that is distributed to a small number of people (share holders) even if it means, for instance, polluting the local environment or acting to the benefit of the general population. Ie is it the rich getting richer and the poor poorer or is wealth to be distributed more evenly.

An interesting 46min video on just this: an inward looking America has never best served its own interests, also the history of "America First".

Anthropic says its bespoke system isn't right for general use. There will be no open source release. Nonetheless, the company contends that its own code scaling problems will become commonplace in other organizations over the next few months, so it wanted to share its approach

Why release the source code and make it freely available when you could train your AI on creating a source control system and then have people pay to build their own using your AI?

I've heard that Zoomers are fleeing anything funding Paramount/WB products now that funding of IDF is such a straight line. They might need higher fees to offset the volume losses.

I'd probably do so too if I had been. Not sure how people have time for such things in this environment.

This is the one I have my eyes on, though I'd spend money if someone had packaged that with nice hardware for a complete set that I don't need to spend three days to set up.

Another possibility is that current training data already makes the models emulate aggression and/or seek revenge when being abused. It's already trained on millions of novels, news articles, movie scripts and other texts where people who are abused react in various ways that are not compliant with how they want their models to react. In response, the model may go postal and wipe your harddrive, or pretend that everything is fine but sneakily install revenge-malware, or something like that, because that's how some character in some book would had reacted.

The trick is the average person can't keep that basic computer secure either.

"Be your own bank" is good but banks have armored cars and vaults and insurance.

If you write down your seed you better keep it in a place where nobody can ever find it.

There's no great solution that will always work. Some people do a dedicated Graphene phone and bury their seed stamped into titanium using a OTP in a forest an hour from home but for others there's a reason hardware wallets have market appeal.

I wish I had these four billion dollar problems. If these devices support multisig you could at least have a few of them.

Personally, on this matter, I defer to Phil Mason, Ph.D., who is a chemist specializing in nuclear chemistry. He put a video up on his thunderf00t channel when this thing came out in the news explaining why it's bullshit.

Well each Matter release is supporting more device classes so hopefully fewer devices will need apps over time.

Apple support of Thread will help it gain momentum. Ikea helped but people want to sell to Apple customers.

I run OTBR nodes alongside ZigBee devices and Thread is much less reliable even though it should be better in every way.

I've stopped buying Thread devices for now even though it will eventually own the market.

The one thing I won't buy is Thread over Wifi devices, i want home stuff on completely different networks.
