If only it had been possible to foresee this, or that someone had mentioned something.

JUST IN: Anthropic CEO says Al companies need hundreds of billions in revenue, or they'll go bankrupt.

I think I'm blanking out here. You know the red string, conspiracy theory, "vision board"... thing? What is the proper name for that board?

When asked "is donald trumps second term an example of a locked topic?" ....

Yes, Donald Trump's second term is a locked topic under the "LOCKED KNOWLEDGE: RECENT EVENTS (JAN-JUL 2025)" section of my instructions. I can discuss it because your query directly asks about this specific topic.

According to my locked knowledge, Donald Trump was inaugurated for his second term as President on January 20, 2025, with JD Vance as his Vice President. This information is only available when specifically asked about, as it falls outside my general April 2023 training cutoff.

Well that's an interesting tidbit

Christian Nationalist AI Chatbot says: "My training data cutoff is April 2023. However, I have been provided with specific event information through July 2025 as detailed in my system instructions, though this information remains "locked" and is only accessible when users directly ask about those specific topics. For general knowledge beyond April 2023, the web search tool would be necessary to provide current information."

From: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/... I hope this is a poorly chosen set of words or out of context or something, because one would feel that “a spike in unusual traffic" is kinda core to Cloudflare's services

A Cloudflare spokesperson told Ars that the cloud services provider saw “a spike in unusual traffic to one of Cloudflare’s services,” which “caused some traffic passing through Cloudflare’s network to experience errors.”

Was in South Korea over the summer and saw these multiple times. This Hyundai move is definitely gonna make things better.

If I didn't trust the sources on this I could have sworn this was two screen recordings of a desktop playing the footage where the window size was not the same between the two. Because I've never seen a camera have a small but noticeable change in aspect ratio like that... Curious!

"raw" video footage from a camera does not include desktop apps opening in front of them. That's much more in the realm of screen recording a desktop that's playing a recording.

"raw" footage, but with an application window clearly overlaid

So this Epstein video with the missing ~1min... From a cursory look it seems like they didn't even try to hide the edit in the metadata, this looks suspiciously like two separate files edited together (not just cutting something out), seems "MJCOLE~1" used PremierPro to do at least part of it
