Absolutely 100% yes. Difference is these projects themselves are obscure. Opposed to an official Google branded service that will see significant publicity.

We’ve seen where that ends up. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(chatbot)

Right. This seems to be the latest in the “throw random stuff at the wall and see what sticks” series of generative ai papers.

I don’t know if I’m too stupid to understand or if truly this is just “add random stuff to prompt” dressed up in flowery academic language.

Sorry, I meant “fantastic” in the same sense as the fight club airplane safety cards: for example https://www.etsy.com/listing/1017594442/project-mayhem-fligh...

It concerns me that these defensive techniques themselves often require even more llm inference calls.

Just skimmed the GitHub repo for this one and the read me mentions four additional llm inferences for each incoming request - so now we’ve 5x’ed the (already expensive) compute required to answer a query?

Just came here to say this. Once they pasted in the merchant info from their statement I thought - this has nothing to do with the publicly traded company and everything to do with fraud.

That would be a fantastic idea: sell printed Tesla safety cards in the style of airplane safety cards.

So true. This is the sort of thing that is so exciting from a usability and engineering standpoint. Until some marketer gets their hands on it and decide that they can increase the ROI on microtargeting advertisements by 0.1% if they use this data. Suddenly, we continue to slide into the advertising and propaganda driven attention economy dystopia.

Here's to the future!

Unfortunately it seems the gambit to hold the congress hostage has worked for them. Bad juju for any sort of attempt at building political alliances if you are punished for compromising across the aisle, but rewarded for holding the populace hostage until you get a supermajority to enact 100% of your agenda.

I believe there is still more vote to count, so the absolute numbers may still increase dramatically, but your point on party affiliation is definitely on point

Not only that, they tried to claim that merely browsing their site implied that you agreed to their terms. Unreal.

Lawyers at this point are just trying to throw anything at the wall to see what sticks. Consumer protections are no more.

That’s all well and good but I want to hear what happened when they placed lasers on those dolphins.

This loophole is as old as export restrictions. Cutout resellers have been used to skirt these regulations for decades. The scale is noteworthy in this case.

If sugar is not part of the problem, why did the sugar companies pay to suppress studies and promote fat as harmful? No company is going to spend money to suppress results that would show their products in a positive light…

Sign up on their portal with a new burner email account and use that to request the license. Their site is totally broken for existing users and you’ll just end up going in circles with their support.

The Washington Post, of all papers, knows the answer: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Jamal_Khash...

Sounds a lot like the famous windows 95 bug when it would crash after 49.7 days of uptime [1]

As they say, if you’re getting impatient for your baby to arrive, just get more pregnant ladies together! The cluster of pregnant women make the process move along quicker!

What’s interesting in that statement is that modern llms are largely built off… reinforcement learning from low paid humans.

Why not take advantage of the subsidized price of the “smart” model, never plug it into the internet or connect it to wifi, and just plug in your devices of choice? Best of both worlds.

Also the book “a woman of no importance” on her story is excellent reading.

It’s a torque screwdriver as others have said but to me it made the whole video into an asmr experience.

If by “some” traffic you mean botnets, sneaker and ticket scalpers, scammers, content scrapers, credential stuffers … generally scummy stuff, sure.

Based on this blog post I would not do any business with Skyvern, if they indeed do business with this underworld of bottom feeders.

This sounds like something the attorneys would have suggested if they thought it was worth the time. I don't mean to be snippy, but have you done this? It's easy to make this comment online- it's a whole other thing to actually go through with it on top of all your other life stressors and reliving the trauma. I would welcome your story, so I can learn on how best to approach if there is ever a next time.

My son was embarrassed that he wet himself during class one day (he's way too old for this, we've had him medically evaluated and come out with no medical issues, etc... he just will get engrossed in screens and relieve himself because he doesn't want to leave to the bathroom).

Anyway the substitute teacher that day believed his sob story about how angry his mother would get when she finds out he's soiled himself, and this ends up in a referral to child protective services. A case agent is assigned, comes to visit the house while I'm out of town (we had no idea until she showed up at the door). Thankfully, no action was taken. But now we have this "black mark" on our record as parents for five years.

I get why these agencies exist, and there are real problems out there. But to be caught up in these bureaucratic regimes is a total nightmare, as you're presumed to be a total douchebag until proven otherwise. It's terrifying.

My wife was almost killed due to a botched surgery (for cancer). She felt bad for weeks afterward - and every time we returned, we were told she "just needed more time". So I finally admitted her to the ER where they declared she was in septic shock.

I inquired about suing (to some attorneys who specialize in this sort of thing) and was basically told that there was little chance of any recovery, and it would be a large burden on us to literally re-litigate the entire traumatic event. So we passed.

Can’t upvote you enough on this point. It’s like everyone lost their collective mind and forgot the lessons of the past twenty years.

Yes but what’s a production company doing with that data? It seems an odd pairing.

And where are ssns posted “publicly”?

What’s interesting to me is that the company, “National Public Data” is a wholly owned subsidiary of a company called Jerico Pictures (yes without the h)

What the heck business model explains a video production company owning personal data for practically every American? I feel like there is a lot more than meets the eye on this one.

This makes total sense as a way to quickly validate the cameras calibration visually. “Does the ad look correct?”

Clever.
