I also sometimes rewind the conversation after going off on a tangent, sometimes not if I want the agent to have the sorts of things I’m thinking about in context. I probably justify keeping too much crud in context than I should
This specific WeChat bug is one instance of the many unconventional attack surfaces that are present across many messaging apps. We're conducting more of this research across other apps and attack surfaces, while working with app developers on attack surface reduction. This may take an industry-wide effort, since some of it depends on the platform owners. Once that work is further along, we'll share our progress, including the technical details of this WeChat bug.”
Our most vulnerable must be getting absolutely hammered by scams. Is anyone working on protecting e.g. elderly people from social engineering? I feel like banks should be proactively suggesting people have a second family member or fiduciary sign off on risky transactions like wiring money to new accounts or pulling out a ton of cash.
I was recently on the phone with a very articulate member of my banks fraud department, or at least I believed they were up until they asked for my two factor code to reset my account. They had visibility into some past legitimate wire transfers which they asked me about along with a fictitious fraudulent one that they “blocked“, and when I pushed back against giving them my two factor code, they had a whole script prepared about needing to freeze my account until I went to a branch with four forms of identification (or just give us the two factor code and avoid the hassle). An acquaintance wired their down payment to a scammer after the real estate firms email system was compromised and scammer inserted their own wire instructions.
Not to mention reports of mythos directly hacking into banking systems. Scary times.
The person closest to me was saved by CPR after cardiac arrest (and cooling at the hospital), with no neurological deficits
Overly aggressive resuscitation attempts are definitely a problem but context matters
What’s the opposite of AI psychosis? Burying your head in the sand? Because anyone who could write this unironically today is certainly afflicted.
The docker desktop license requirement is a factor, though. You need a paid subscription if your company has something like 250 employees or $10 million in annual revenue
The purpleair map has been awesome to at least make the problem visible. I hope they are using it to aid enforcement on spare the air days.
ZeroEyes said that trained employees review alerts before they are sent and that its software can make a lifesaving difference in averting mass shootings by alerting law enforcement to weapons on campus within seconds. At Lawton Chiles, the student flagged by ZeroEyes was holding his musical instrument like a rifle, co-founder Sam Alaimo told The Washington Post. “We don’t think we made an error, nor does the school,” Alaimo said. “That was better to dispatch [police] than not dispatch.”

This is the crux of it. The government should also subsidize and directly administer more senior care, especially given the economic drag from having family members step into these roles
‘On iPhone, a tiny USB-C plug-in (“Bud”) provides precise input control’
Really cool they got this to work and it seems great for accessibility. I wonder how Apple feels about it
I often find my plans for the code changing as I get into implementation. I wonder if giving the model explicit permission to change the plan would work or cause it to go off the rails for big chunks of work like this.
