It seems like it would be a trivial statistical exercise to find all the nitter instance X accounts and just ban them, it's actually embarrassing they got lawyers involved instead of just doing that if they didn't want nitter to function.

The combination of the already unjailable corporate executive decision making of the US + now "the spooky computer AI did it" is going to break at some point. I expect shortly some hedge fund is going to do some ridiculous spoof bid market manipulation and get off scot-free by just claiming their super crazy AI did it and it was an accident.

If you aren't reading comics I wouldn't recommend color e-readers yet. The screens are dimmer and have a noticeable filter over them.

old reddit and nitter finished in the span of a month? What an incredible month to be undistracted.

I'm nostalgic for the new JS framework every day era. Say what you will about that era but people were writing the code by hand, so looking back it all feels "hand-crafted" and quaint. You had to copy paste that express app from a medium.com article instead of prompting an LLM to scaffold a whole project in one second.

I was just comparing this to an rtx6000 96gb build and when the f*ck did nvidia double the price?

If you want to comfortably afford this gen you had to trade options on memory stocks...

Never read Michael Lewis's book about SBF. It's so bad it permanently ruined him as an author in my mind, I doubt the verity of any of the other books he wrote as a result of it.

Ever since the infamous work of some of their alumni I have wondered what the culture of JS is actually like.

Does anybody have any good reading on how the Chinese labs approach risk vs. the American ones?

Tech incumbents whose businesses are reliant on selling ad space need to designate who is a verified human on the internet as soon as possible or their businesses go to zero once the entire web is AI bots and all the traffic is fraudulent and worthless, so they have to play as many angles as they can to achieve this.

Doctorow's absolutist writing style is so tiresome.

"perhaps a few of the younger members of those families would have to do their own homework again."

Talk to any professor. AI has had a profound and irreversible impact on higher ed, it has changed students completely, it has changed how professors operate, and it is changing how papers are written. The leading voices in mathematics are having profound discussions on the nature and uses of the technology. To dismiss these radical changes with this kind of pathetic snark is actually just embarrassing.

It's not so simple, if such a headline can get them closer to the regulatory capture they want to lock in American businesses and forbid them from using Chinese AI.

It's crazy how many catastrophic security bugs are just "somebody finally bothered to look".

The way AI is advancing what is growing is the ability to look far and wide.

88M is minor by crypto hack standards, and the "cost basis" of the holders on these cards started at a fraction of that, perhaps that is why nobody bothered to find this bug earlier, it's a very niche product.

Also here's a good technical writeup

Use college to make connections, it's pretty much the only reason to go as you can teach yourself anything now for free. Connections with students, professors, and industry.

Grades are important but in today's AI-driven job application processes having a 4.0 is less important than knowing somebody at the company.

The "less likely to express" isn't from surveillance, but from the professional shills that moderate every site which makes it worthless to put any effort into posting anything because it will just be removed with no justification.

Anybody that has traded crypto knew how to trade the SpaceX IPO. The IPO was just a low float/high fdv shitcoin launch. It's free money.

The regional AI policies can be fully democratic, but banning AI data center construction globally would require coordination that only a totalitarian undemocratic one world government could achieve.

Many economically stagnant areas actually see it as an incredible economic opportunity when Americans want to destroy their lead in AI, because they can capture business investment that would be reliably American.

Crushing AI would require crushing these countries, many of which are already hostile to American foreign policy.

I have a family member that wants to ban all data centers and I felt like Daniel Plainview in the milkshake scene showing them the AWS region selector interface, explaining that regional data center bans in deep leftist areas won't move the needle.

Nothing short of a totalitarian one world government can stop the development of AI technology, there's simply too much demand. It's just not happening.

These people should make peace with it sooner than later and propose more reasonable terms like mandating AI companies invest in renewable energy.

I remember for roughly a month after Elon bought twitter he opened the site up again and public viewers could browse it. Now you can't even click play on a video lol.

The dumps on memory/hardware stocks when these companies scale back purchasing is going to make Trump's shitcoins look sovereign bonds

-signed a bitter somebody that had to buy a new SD card for my camera last week.

Have OpenAI or Anthropic ever had a model hacked/leaked? Is there any good reads on their cultures of preventing it from happening?

AI exits in America probably have a political cliff approaching fast as populist backlash will hit them, or perhaps they see political winds favorable to regulatory capture in the future and are waiting for that?

Does somebody have a price increase by currency table? A lot of losers vs. USD since apple last set their prices.

Are 3D-printed guns even remotely reliable, or is it just a moral panic? A brass tube and a pin is probably less likely to fail than 3d printed materials.

It's troubling this is occurring in all these countries at the same time despite the politicians not running on it and knowing that in many of these countries the "opposition" feigns opposition and would be pushing the exact same policy if in power. What are people in Western democracies actually allowed to vote for?

There's no insurance scheme the IRGC can concoct that protects against the US navy hitting your rudder with a 20mm gun.

Both. The skilled will use them to find problems, the unskilled will use them to slopcode insecure software the skilled will have to fix.

The brief window between the covid gaming bubble pop/PoS ETH switch and the AI hardware blackhole will be fondly remembered as the last golden age of consumer PC hardware accessibility.

There will probably be congressional hearings when it turns out Lazarus Group had access, and then the USG will use it as an excuse to lock AI behind harsh KYC.

What's the current status of the 'biggest computer wins' vs. specialized proprietary research/data in the AI arms race? People had such high hopes for xAI because of the monster machine Elon built. Or has xAI just turned over too much staff too quickly?
