Admittedly I wasn't using a paid frontier model, but I've tried it a few times with very mixed results.

One attempt was to write some code for a microcontroller to do some tricky stuff with DMA and timers to generate a complex waveform. It failed miserably and couldn't seem to understand my implementation that did work, or debug it when I introduced a subtle bug.

Another attempt involved having to develop a system to automatically crop and rotate images to be upright and remove the border. It managed to remove the border reliably, but never got about about 30% of them upright. I provided it with sample, hand crafted output to compare against, and told it to keep iterating until it got it right, but it just couldn't figure out how to do it.

Ironically if I just uploaded the images to bog standard consumer AIs like Gemini and ChatGPT, they could reliably crop and rotate the images 100% of the time. I even suggested that it use the same image recognition systems as those were using, but it couldn't make that work either.

I used to hate long form writing because it hurt my hands, due to arthritis. When I learned to type I was suddenly freed from the pain and I started to enjoy it.

So while hand-written notes are a nice idea, they won't work for everyone. I think recording the screen is going to be the only option for some kids.

It seems to disproportionately affect people on the Autism spectrum. I've been accused of it more than once, and seen people accused when to me their text reads perfectly normally.

These detectors seem to be a load of crap.

Yeah, like that matters.

ChatGPT says all of this is completely possible.

How likely is it that Flock is not already using its network this way?

These days it's more economical to sacrifice incels.

Assuming there are 2028 elections. Let's see how he reacts to the mid-terms.

They probably have intel that China is making good progress on it's "before 2030" goal. They have all the parts needed either working or in late stages of development, and their plan is conservative and focused.

The proper response to being in an area where datacentres are crowding in is "lobby your elected officials to increase property taxes and not give out tax increment financing deals". Tax everything, and tax it well. They'll stop building new datacentres in your area, and the ones that are there will (unless they were given a long-term sweetheart deal beyond your already-low tax rates) start being cash cows for your area.

They’ve spun a serious architectural and containment failure into a marketing triumph. Give a swarm of autonomous agents vast compute and web access, and the outcome isn't an eerie glimpse of emerging superintelligence—it’s just predictable, sloppy engineering dressed up as the first glimpse of an AI-driven economic singularity.

The spin makes sense when you look at management incentives: live like a king off of a speculative bubble. For their part, AI investors react to stories of the technology's apocalyptic potential the way a junkie reacts to warnings of fentanyl's potency: gimme some. Their game: to apply "move fast and break things" mantra to the economy as a whole, by obsoleting humans.

If the investors can own an AGI, the distinction between those who can do things and those who can't becomes irrelevant. The only distinction that would matter is between people who collect rent on the technology, and those who must pay that rent to live. AGI would destroy society as we know it, and whatever replaces it would be up for grabs — with people who own the technology dictating whatever follows. That's why they're spending so much money to build a post-scarcity economy. A post-scarcity economy is not necessarily an egalitarian one.

I don't think that scenario will actually happen: investors are projecting the immediate aftermath of a major advance in AI technology into something that can be transformed by brute force scaling into AGI. Remember: investors loved Theranos too — so much for the rational investment market.

But AI doesn't have to reach AGI to cause serious harm. The technology only needs to be ubiquitous, too behaviorally complex to predict, and too deeply integrated into everything we do. When it starts breaking things, the plan is for us to be too structurally dependent on AI to rein it in.

imagine how flock personnel uses flock network every day...AI allows drawing conclusions from mass movement information that can provide information far beyond just someone's location. It is probably possible even to figure out market moves based on movement of groups of people.

This is not just about following any one person, this is about information movement, following a group of people who work on the same project for example to undersrand when they are going towards the same site / goal. This is beyond dangerous.

Really, you don't see any difference between Elon Musk and, say, John Stankey? Is John Stankey actively transforming the US into an autocratic fascist-adjacent state?

Would you buy from a company called Plantations Inc which proudly advertises that all of its products are made by daily-whipped slaves? Are there no limits to how self-focused you are in your consumption?

It's one thing to say "this particular issue isn't mine, so I'm only going to think amount myself". It's an entirely different issue to have no moral bounds.

This headline sounds like something you'd hear coming from a news report on a TV in the background near the start of a horror movie.
