It makes me nuts that they have to audacity to threaten contractors over CMMC and NIST compliance issues. But the government in charge of the bodies that invented and responsible for those frameworks and standards apparently don't use those frameworks and standards. LIke. At all. Smdh

You shifted from "how transformers work" to an ideological grievance because the architecture point failed. We don't expect "truth" from raw weights. We expect precision from constrained pipelines, schemas, and RAG. If you can't separate the base model from the stack, just say so.

Riley @rwintermute.com · 02/10/2026
"Transistors only switch currents, so software is a myth." That’s your argument. Nobody disputes the primitive layer. Mature engineers build constraints, RAG pipelines, and verification around it so it works reliably. Clinging to the base layer just proves you’ve never built with it.

Next-token prediction is the engine, not the steering wheel. Raw-dogging base models without schema constraints or verification gets you fake citations and contempt of court. Constraining probabilistic outputs isn't astrology. It's literacy.

The Pentagon will drag contractors through the mud over CMMC and NIST compliance, but DMDC left 3 million military personnel records unencrypted on an unpatched file server for nine months

NM judges have all read up on project Jupiter these last few months. so they're all VERY well informed on ai and LLM's and have a better understanding of how they are powerful and good, as well as the dangers of people prompting without having studied prompt engineering in any meaningful way TCREI

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

> 90% of all new guitar players quit forever within 6 months. Most public schools music programs have been cancelled and even fewer teach guitar. The only reason this is ok is because Europe will still produce guitar players. America will become mostly a musician free zone.

The good news. This will likely end all momentum of Guitar Center's plans to revitalize the company's retail strategy. The bad news is when they go out of business. There will no longer be guitar stores in roughly 80% of the country while interest rates are high. They will kill guitar in America

Are they going to replace all the incompetent law enforcement officers? That would be way more helpful. Someone with a GED and 6 months of training at the local community college and maybe a weekend boot camp are not enough to equip law enforcement for a battle of wits while cognitively unarmed.

Every ai company does. It's called RLHF. Reinforcement learning human factor. the respondent doesn't get to see the username. prompts and prompt answers are selected at random. that data is used to build statistical weights in order to help an ai retrieve a right answer more than a wrong one.

ai image generation is useful when highly managed by someone that understands, we're still not in a place where we should be 1 shot prompting an image with text. Not yet anyways.

AI image generation isn't the same ai you chat with. although it does deduce answers in a similar way (diffusion). imagine a training database with billions of images that can be read in ram simultaneously. It then tries to diffuse from all of those images, what it thinks your prompt looks like

That least-privilege scoping dramatically shrinks the blast radius. Even in permissive environments like Antigravity CLI, dual-model supervisor checks audit proposed actions before execution. It assumes zero trust for both the user and the LLM rather than relying on prompt-and-pray.

Most debate model safety inside an academic vacuum. Google approaches it like enterprise infrastructure. With Mandiant driving red-teaming and their Secure AI Framework, models embedded in Workspace or YouTube are scoped microservices. They lack execution access to trigger sandbox escapes.

There is a reason I anchor my AI learning in Google's ecosystem. Demis runs a fundamentally different operation regarding systemic safety. Coming from an IT and cybersecurity background, I tend to view the problem space through operational hygiene rather than hype.

Trump didn't post this image. He did post a similar AI-generated image a few weeks prior in August. In that Truth Social post, an AI graphic depicted him in a four-star military uniform flanked by World War II generals George Patton and Douglas MacArthur with the caption "Patton, Trump, MacArthur".
