...over tariff negotiations?

Is this any surprise from a government that arrests people over non-threatening social media posts?

"Just as centuries ago, rulers listen to them. The Biden administration bet Americans’ national security on the proposition that AGI was right around the corner, while the Trump administration and its allies in the Gulf seem to believe that AI will help make a world where they will be in charge."

The Biden administration ignored AI and allowed China to catch up. The Trump administration realizes that if certain countries get ahead with AI, it will be worse for everyone.

The Liberals want to hobble the industry and control it for political gain, automatically giving China an advantage. It really does seem like they are working with China.

Most people here can't even take Flock cameras in their city. I can't imagine how they would feel with the level if surveillance China has right now in all of their major cities.

It seems like if Trump wants something, it's automatically opposed. Even if it's something correct/better. This kind of thinking will only lead to your own pain and suffering.

This is Reddit antiwork slop.

I make work hard and make really good money. The lazy people end up unemployed in one of the worst economies in my life time.

The next crash will be from token costs increasing, if too many companies rely completely on the major AI companies.

I see people on LinkedIn with little programming skills getting high-paid prompt engineering jobs as developers. There's messages every day from these accounts talking about how prompting is the way of the future.

I hope it's like those highly paid html coding jobs (where this is your only skill) in the 90s and these people get booted within a few years.

My problem with AI is not the technology. It's people attempting to shortcut knowledge and skill and act like it Trumps years of experience in the industry.

When everyone can prompt, the only high paying jobs left will be the people with actual experience.

Back in the day, I would send a message and ask something I thought was interesting about their profile.

6/10 would get a response and some, dates.

The apps make it so there's no conversation and it's all about your profile.

Way more difficult to get noticed.

When I was single and before apps like Tinder, I used dating sites. I met lots of women this way and would at least get some responses.

Now that it's a much bigger business, it makes it much more difficult to actually meet someone.

None of the women I met on these sites worked out long-term. I met my wife through a meetup group where we were friends for a few years first.

While many tried to push Bill Gates's beliefs about vaccinations during Covid, many of us already knew he was evil. Someone like this doesn't change.

Hopefully the Epstein files will finally open the tech communities eyes without being brainwashed by politics.

"all he did was scrape PDFs for mostly public funded / tax funded papers"

He wasn't a security researcher. He broke into a room and used equipment to steal information. It wasn't just 'tax funded papers'. Companies invested millions of dollars into some of this research.

We shouldn't support theft and he should have gotten some jail time/punishment for it.

"There should really be laws for protecting security researchers who produce 0 harm and divulge / share a vulnerability with a service provider. I'd rather the floor be getting no money AND not going to jail or being sued."

Too many 'security researchers' demand money or threaten to release the vulnerabilities.

I don't know anyone that got into trouble going through a legit bug bounty program.

This is correct. I've made well over six figures over the last couple of years through bug bounty programs. I wouldn't spend months finding one bug. It's usually days or a week or two max.

$5,000 is actually pretty normal for a critical. I think the most I received for one bug was around $10,000, but this is the exception.

AI has also ruined the market. I'm a security consultant (where I make most of my money) and stopped bug bounty once AI slop reports made it impossible to actually get anything triaged in a timely manner.

Something else many don't know is that with all of the major platforms, customers can see the bugs before they are even triaged by the platform team. Many companies are now taking advantage of the long triage times and fixing the bugs before the researcher can get paid. It's then marked as a duplicate and the researcher gets nothing.

We really need to separate taxes at the pump. In my state, there is almost $1/gallon in taxes.

This allows the government to hide taxes in the total cost and blame the oil companies for it.

It's too late. Countries like China are already catching up and will never slow down.

Now you know why Trump is against the EU and why Brexit happened.

The results of 'socialism' in one sentence.

I regularly have to fool the latest models to use it for infosec purposes. Being polite almost always works.

The call to slow down is because politicians are now receiving less money from these large corporations because it's being burned om AI and data centers.

It's interesting that we go to great lengths to punish ex-nazis, but do nothing when comes to the soldiers of Stalin and Mao.

Even the ex-Japanese soldiers that participated in horrific war crimes got to live a peceful life afte the war.

LOL. We had 1000s of Epstein files dumped. People like you will only stop when you see Trump's name all over them, which isn't ever going to happen. Especially since Trump is known to never use email.

Why shouldn't people's property be protected?

Funny how the same people that want to fine Meta also want pot shops that sell a substance that's much more addictive.

Really? I am a consultant work with lots of companies and the vast majority of executives and management are women or people of color.

If we are going by DEI rules, it's racist and sexist, based on population percentages.

I also have to laugh at the fact that uber Liberal institutions can't help being snobby and elitist while claiming the rest of us are this way.

There needs to be laws in place that punish AI companies (fines or jail time) If AI breaks the law or does something harmful.

Instead of blithely repeating the common notion that Roman roads were all uniformly straight, historians, archaeologists, and the general public can add a caveat,” she said.

This is just obnoxious. Obviously, if the terrain didn't allow it, roads won't be straight.

We shouldn't be disproving a myth based on the exception, and not the rule.

AI is only good if you are disciplined enough to only use it when you tried everything and are truly stuck or have lots of knowledge and need it to get to that next level.

For the un-disciplined, it means using it instead of gaining the foundational knowedge yourself.

Sadly, most people just want that cheat code and to take credit for it.

Yep, when Obama and Hillary used them, geniuses. Only evil when Trump did the same thing.

Odd how that works.

I wonder how many people vomit in them after a late night at the bar.

If they do this, it will just give China time to catch up.

I don't think this true. If I throw a brick out my window and it hurts someone, I can still be held criminially liable, even if I didn't mean to do it.

Do drunk drivers intionally kill people on the road?

I think we all know why. Right, wrong, and intelligence seems to go out the window if a person you don't like politically does something good.
