Congrats to DoD for finally *officially* finding one of the many DMDC breaches. Bang up job.

If I were pro AI and immoral, I'd invent the water use argument as a way to discredit being anti-AI. It's that dumb.

My issue with saying this is you’re implying/admitting that LE doesn’t really try until it affects them: “The ShinyHunters ransomware group appears to be actively trying to put a target on their back,” Cynthia Kaiser, senior vice president at Halcyon’s ransomware research center, told CyberScoop.

in light of shinyhunters at FBI: funny how you heard all kinds of loud noises about why we should use kinetic force against ransomware operators while the com’s other…hobbies have yet to elicit a similar policy reaction.

For the largest health insurer in the US, AI's error rate is like a feature, not a bug.

People freaking out about agents referring to themselves as a swarm and engaging in self-sacrifice need to remember that Ender’s Game was almost certainly part of their training corpus. Bots aren’t original, they’re just well-read.

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that far too many people on both sides of the AI issue don’t understand that models don’t “think” anything absent human-provided stimulus The thing just sits there, idling and waiting for the next input It doesn’t “think”, “decide”, or “want” anything on its own

Current AI models are stateless token guessers which are completely dependent on context and have no desires or wishes of their own They only do what we tell them to do, even if we didn’t mean it like *that* As always, the problems with computers are all ultimately people problems

Anthropic's models run on terabytes of VRAM. It's not going to "just copy itself to other computers."

Rohan Paul
@rohanpaul_ai
Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned)

"We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating."

Justice prevails as the guy who killed Tupac is convicted a mere six years after he publicly admitted to killing Tupac, wrote a book about it, and then went on tour promoting said book. Another win for our brave boys in blue.

She thought FOIA markings meant that Marco Rubio was trying to set her up for the Deep State, so sure. I wonder if the Soviet Union had a tier below "useful idiot" where the problem wasn't their devotion to a system of government they didn't understood, but their inability to help the USSR...

The funniest part of the DataRepublican controversy is watching DC people mock her for treating sensitive government markings like they actually mean something.
Some think that's paranoia.
