But, it is invalidated if they use research that hasn't been published yet when they falsely imply that the chats are ephemeral and won't be used as training data. An equivalent in the academic world would be getting coffee with a fellow researcher, then they scoop your paper the next week.

They mashup the data they're trained on. If mathematicians have private chats with ChatGPT, Open AI will train using those private chats. It's a known fact. What "AI" is really doing is extracting intellectual effort from humans and reappropriating it to the owners of the "AI" companies. What feels like intelligence, is in fact intelligence, but not artificial.

Please stop using programming languages as a proxy for performance and safety. Rust has turned into a religion and the developers who become entranced by it have a certain kind of brain damage.

I heard about that. I wonder what the long term effects of that will be on those 70+ year olds. Just look at all the risks listed here:

Interestingly, doctors tend to avoid blood transfusions even in the case of heavy bleeding. Instead, they immediately use intravenous fluids to rapidly "fill the pipes" and restore blood pressure and organ perfusion.

A novel idea, but Mr Stoker did have some folk legends to borrow from. Personally, I have no stake in that matter, no fascination with holy water or crucifixes and certainly don't believe in silver bullets. Sunshine, however, is a powerful disinfectant and garlic makes bread tasty! (So, are there no Italian vampires?). It's interesting the actual name of Jesus is never used by the characters in Bram Stoker's Dracula -- his name is the singular artifact of power in the new testament.

Or take a closer look at blood transfusions.
A biblical verse states the life of an organism is in its blood. It is blood that carries the nutrients, signalling molecules and even free mitochondria that probably signal the transplanted organ to turn younger. The bioelectric environment also matters, but probably not to the same extent as blood does to the transplanted heart.

I hate that we live in a world with cameras everywhere, but if police have good intentions they should have no problem handing the keys over to the courts.

I can envision a system where they ask a court to approve releasing footage from an area where a real crime occurred. The investigator identifies vehicles and people of interest, then an open source algorithm tracks where they came from and where they went, without exposing the rest of the population to a dragnet search. The results would be registered as evidence in the case.

We've seen that officers cannot be trusted with the keys themselves. Flock and other corporations shouldn't be able to access the footage. It should be stored encrypted where only the courts have the ability to decrypt it. Then we should pass laws for data retention periods that are reasonable(perhaps no more than 1 month).

The same AI that caused Reddit to end RSS support can be used to read Reddit's website via the user browser and replicate RSS functionality, whether Reddit likes it or not. But it will need to be local AI

Or live in an apartment building with a pitched roof.

Blaming AI will allow the monsters to do their monstrous things and blame the machines when there's a potential consequence.

You have 150kW of compute running under your desk? https://carthageelectronics.co...

We all love to hate an Elon, but Starlink is a real product you can use today. The Falcon rockets are real rockets used to launch satellites. Obviously, space based data centers won't individually be the same scale as land based data centers. The point isn't large scale compute, but rather to take advantage of being in orbit whatever they may be. Cooling and scale are clearly not the advantage.

So, you must work for the military or SpaceX?

Chill, man!

What's the definition of a data center? They have compute and storage resources customers can rent.

Space data centers currently exist. But, they aren't used like terrestrial data centers. They're used for processing surveillance data at the point of observation. They're the equivalent of Flock cameras that are running machine learning models to detect anomalies, only when an anomaly is detected does it send the data to a ground based data center. That allows them to hunt for missiles and stealth planes optically from multiple points to develop a 3D mapping from optical video feeds. Starlink and Starshield are the Golden Dome.

What SpaceX is selling is a time slice when their satellites are flying over the ocean or areas the military isn't interested in. They'll offer the product at a discount, because The capacity and energy to run it is already paid for through defense contracts. For SpaceX that means every penny collected is profit. Their network becomes critical defense infrastructure until space is so full of debris that they can't utilize it anymore.
