I like to think the delay is justified by the fact that IF you think in terms of 1800s tech, America is huge and it can take a while for horses to pull a wagon from sea to shining sea.
It's November 1860 and you just won your election to be the new Senator from Oregon. You have two months to get to DC. Can you do it? (Yes, you can do it in a "mere" 3-4 weeks thanks to rail. But before rail? No way two months is enough.)
The first thing will probably be to do something think of the children bullshit to ban local AI instances.
Are you seeing a lot of support for the "people should be forced to use a data center to run AIs, instead of being allowed to do it at home using solar power" position?
What I saw last week, is that "think of the children" means that no one should ever fucking ever let a Republican anywhere within ten feet of a child, rather than it meaning we need to give data centers a monopoly on running AI.
The RAM crisis is it. This is the high-water mark on suppressing competition. It was a clever move, but the consumer market isn't going to tolerate electronic gizmos and video games being expensive forever. As soon as someone decides they want money and opens another RAM factory, the AI companies are in trouble. They have this brief pre-Personal-Computer-Revolution situation going on like 1960s IBM, and the 1970s are coming to fuck their shit up.
Yo dawg, I heard you like DMCA, so I sent you a DMCA notice (Title 17 Section 512) about DMCA-prohibited circumvention (Title 17 Section 1201).
The human was involved when it told the agent to do it.
Ultimately the human is absolutely responsible for giving the agent information and telling it to go on its merry way.
If you share your identify, you are responsible for whoever uses it, like it or not. Don't sure your identity, EVER, WITH ANYONE. EVER. EVER.
These forums are full of people who barely read the users questions than boilerplate post the generic 'reboot/update/reinstall' solution ls in order to get a better badge next to their name like they are heros for posting the exact same worthless answer.
About half the time they post the boilerplate after the user has already said they did all that.
Then they'll post follow, "please up vote of i got the right answer" messages
Those forums are crap
The fact that they make sure to include that repeatedly tells me that the real reason is they have their own AI agent that they want you to use, possibly for an extra fee, definitely trained to not bypass all the dark patterns they use to upsell you shit.
Oh, and there'll be absolutely no problem with giving THAT one all your personal and financial data, because trust us bro, we're the airline, we're famous for being totally not sleazy...
Just the last 3 weeks of 2 years average data retention is 3%. That would destroy a lot of companies. So the "which 3%?" is a big question.
If Elon doesn't decide he suddenly likes your oppressor and turns your Starlink off.
In an attempt to add context to what appears to be an inflammatory comment, here's some background:
Some time ago the US Department of Defense asked Musk to turn off starlink access in the Crimean peninsula. Although officially a Ukranian territory and not recognized as part of Russia, it made sense to do this due to the Russian occupation. Some Ukranian drones stopped working, and Musk steadfastly refused to allow his civilian system to be used to kill people.
Due to fallout from that incident, starlink satellite access was divided into two parts: Starlink and Starshield, both using Musk's satellites.
The explicit intent behind Starshield was to separate civilian and military uses of the satellite constellation. Under this framework:
"Starlink" is the regular user system, and it's TOS require that it not be used for military purposes. Basically, it's an ISP saying that you cannot use their system to kill people. Elon Musk is responsible for overseeing how Starlink is run and managed.
"Starshield" is the military version, and this is OK to use this as a weapon. The US Department of War (used to be "defense") controls who uses this and how it is used, they allow Ukraine to use it for battle, and they disallow Russia to use it for any purpose.
It was noticed that the Russians were stealing starlink endpoints and using them to attack Ukraine, so a "fast moving" detection was implemented to put a stop to this. As a byproduct, some Ukraine drones stopped working as well.
The Ukranians have access to starshield, the military version, and should have been using this instead of starlink.
Yes, he made the civilian version of starlink not work for drones, but this same change protected Ukraine from Russian drones using starlink.
Some people like to find reasons to criticize Musk.
I love how these AI companies come out with a list of "Our model will not do ______" because _____ is usually something they really want to do. So if they boast Claude does not covertly work against its users' interests", that probably means that Anthropic does that themselves.
and literally every Uber driver drove an EV
That's because EVs are perfect for taxis. Many short distances, never far from a charging point and time inbetween rides where you can recharge in the supermarket parking lot while getting a bite to eat. And in the city, with stop-and-go traffic, EV are much better at handling that than ICEs who hate that. Plus the lower cost-per-km-driven matters even more when it's a profit margin thing.
Clearly Mr. Kessler had advised Mr. Huang that Megaspeed had paid the appropriate bribe and they were cleared to receive product. After inquiring with Commerce about the awkward investigation of sanctioned sales the problem went away for a time, until an internal audit tripped on the fact that it was legally prohibited and the sanction illegitimate. So they tossed it over the fence to DoJ for the cover-up and investigation of the whistleblower since that's their primary line of work these days. DoJ was busy shredding Epstein files, persecuting liberals and clearing murderous feds, so they didn't do a proper job of the coverup before the pesky press found the hanky panky. Now they have to throw Mr Kessler under the bus for reporting to Mr. Huang that the grease was in, and sorry about the dirty linens.
As to Nvidia's board: he's admitted what he did: he should have been fired instantly
Why?
Seriously, I get you are personally outraged, but that's not a reason. Has he mismanaged funds? Is his strategy failing the company? Is he driving key persons away from NVidia? Has he sold out to competitors?
they've abdicated their fiduciary responsibility
Which one, exactly?
Getting him replaced was probably the point of the honeypot operation. He is highly effective. China wants to compete. Getting him removed improves their competitive position.
I WANT THE FACTS OF THE NEWS, PERIOD.
Can you name a news outlet which has only facts?
I can't either.
Which is why the parent wants an unbiased source, and I'm with him.
News has become an unregulated sewer of rage bait propaganda.
The law doesn't explicitly define the term repeat infringer, nor does it say how many piracy accusations it takes before a subscriber can be cut off.
[emphasis mine] Surely they mean convictions, no?
Why would accusations be relevant? I accuse every single member of the Mexican government of having violated the copyright on my work, four times each. They all did it four times. No, I can't prove it, but the accusation stands.
news: gotcha
