Yeah, I guarantee none of the people involved know the true risk factors.

This should go in the "Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should Dept." category of Slashdot.

Yeah, except the definition of "nazi" for most of these assholes is "someone who disagrees with me".

WITH GLITTER!!!! OMG!!!

I was here before moderation started (mid/late 97?) but didn't bother to create an account for a long time as it wasn't necessary for posting.

We had flame wars back then, sure, but not the mass freakouts/meltdowns we see today. The kids are not all right.

You're just another choad who shares the webcomic version of this crap around on Facebook or Insta in order to look smart.

But you clowns never read your own source, in which Popper said:

Wikipedia is a widely-used chunk of large language model training data, so this fight influences how people get information from AI chatbots, among other things.

Ideologues like some of the nutjobs that devote their lives to editor wars at Wikipedia know this and there is growing concern about the kind of "supply chain" poisoning they can do and probably are doing.

Disclaimer applies since Slashdot is full of similar drooling clowns: I'm a Green voter and/or usually a (D) voter--mainly because the local candidates on the (R) side are even crazier. This isn't about my wanting rightwing views, it's about extremism of any kind infiltrating the tools we use to get insight.

And here we have the very definition of prejudice.

I miss the liberalism of my youth (1970s and 1980s). You fucking kids have lost your minds.

If you've been paying enough attention over the years to have an informed opinion, nothing needs to be explained.

But this is Slashdot, so you are entitled to you random opinions and hot grits.

The poster I replied to obviously did, please try to keep up.

Paypal solved a real problem while also challenging the credit card cartel. I still find it convenient, though I'm not dumb enough to maintain a significant balance.

But Elon doesn't get credit for that any more than he can be blamed by you for Paypal's shortcomings, real or otherwise. He didn't found Paypal, didn't start its money transfer business, and was there for maaaaybe a year after his company x.com merged/was acquired.

Do you have any other emotional takes on history to share with us?

Found the guy who flunked Econ.

If you're stupid for believing Elon Musk, you're twice as stupid for believing Errol Musk.

You're doing it right!

My young adult children (18 and 20) were raised the same way. Both have thanked me recently, unprompted, for being a (self-proclaimed) screen nazi and for banning them from social media until they reached majority.

One inviolate rule I've had for about the last 25 years: no screens at or visible from the family dinner table! No exceptions, not even to look up something relevant to the topic of discussion.

Anthropic made Skynet? I think not.

As it happens, the Chinese are capable of making their own near-frontier models, many of which they release publicly as open weights.

San Diego Police Department absolutely can officially believe a car, a person, the Sun, or anything else can be in two places at once.

Having made this assessment, they are blandly impervious to any evidence to the contrary. It's like The Naked Gun but without the humor. Poorly recruited, poorly trained, and poorly led, they are to be avoided like day-old Taco Bell leftovers.
