In a sane world I would have agreed but in the US at least I am not certain this is still true: In Bartz v. Anthropic, Judge Alsup expressed his views that the work of an LLM is equivalent to the one of a person, see around page 12 where he argues that human recalling things from memory and AI inference are effectively the same from a legal perspective

To me this makes the clean-room distinction very hard to assert, what am I missing?

That's strange, which OS? I am on Arch and also on 145 and I get the "Ask an AI Chatbot" in the context menu. The settings used to work in the past so I am not sure what's going on.

I believe these are all the settings I have disabled for AI:

browser.ml.chat.enabled

browser.ml.chat.menu

browser.ml.chat.page

browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge

browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge

browser.ml.chat.shortcuts

browser.ml.chat.sidebar

browser.ml.enable

browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled

browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled

browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled

browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnable

browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled

extensions.ml.enabled

sidebar.notification.badge.aichat

Am I missing anything?

It does feel wrong because in our society having access to more financial resources often translates to better representation in the courtroom. This is similar to how donating to organizations like the EFF can provide more justice to those who are not multibillion-dollar corporations.

There is a fundraising for that organised by their union (IWGB Game Workers):

I really wished they would also let you disable those very annoying modal popups announcing yet-another-chatbot-integration twice a week: My company is already paying for your product, just let me do my work ffs...

That's just like your opinion man, I see it through rose coloured glasses as a poem from more naive times back when some folks still had some hope... This was way before vulture capitalism fucked everything up you know, or at least that's how I remember it but I was like 10.

Not everyone was into this hopeful vision of cyberspace though, Masters of Doom comes to mind.

Yeah no I didn't mean retail investors, OpenAI is not publicly traded, but yeah I do share your concern...

Heh stockholders are not hallucinating: They know very well what they are doing.

I am not familiar to this type of side-channel attacks but the article says they use GPU.zip which is exploitable through Chrome:

I also wanted to add a bit more context regarding some of these claims.

For example, back in March Dario Amodei, the CEO and cofounder of Anthropic, said:

> I think we will be there in three to six months, where AI is writing 90% of the code. And then, in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code

Other similar claims:

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/29/satya-nadella-says-as-much-a...

Some of these AI predictions seem quite unlikely too, for example AI 2027:

> By late 2029, existing SEZs have grown overcrowded with robots and factories, so more zones are created all around the world (early investors are now trillionaires, so this is not a hard sell). Armies of drones pour out of the SEZs, accelerating manufacturing on the critical path to space exploration.

> The new decade dawns with Consensus-1’s robot servitors spreading throughout the solar system. By 2035, trillions of tons of planetary material have been launched into space and turned into rings of satellites orbiting the sun.32 The surface of the Earth has been reshaped into Agent-4’s version of utopia

Yeah that's my understanding as well: unfortunately laws seem to only apply for us peasants...

One difference though is that for Spotify removing pirated files from their servers was trivial, while for LLM companies like OpenAI and Google they would have to retrain their models from scratch, which would be extremely expensive, so what they do instead is to filter problematic results that are too obvious.

Original title: "Governor Kotek, Attorney General Rayfield, Mayor Wilson Denounce Unauthorized Troop Deployment to Oregon"

But then the government should also know where to find all these unauthorised workers, I can't imagine how could anyone pull this off for more than a couple of months without getting arrested (or at the very least losing their job)

Is this a real thing? It would be essentially identity fraud and having more than a couple of jobs linked on PAYE at the same time would likely raise a flag somewhere in the government

But it would need to align with the records associated with their NI number no?

I am quite confused by this point:

> A new digital ID scheme will help combat illegal working

If you are an immigrant you already have to prove your right to work with a share code:

https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work/get-a-share-code-onli...

And if you claim to be a citizen you must show a passport or birth certificate:

https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work

So how exactly will this new digital ID help "stop those with no right to be here from being able to find work"?

The US is the second most energy-hungry country on Earth (the first one being China, a country that accounts for almost 30% of the global manufacturing output), so I think it's better to compare it against the rest of the world:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electri...

Every country bellow the top 40 has a consumption lower than 87.6 TWh per year, that includes developed countries like Finland and Belgium, so yes, 10 gigawatts is a lot of power.

10 gigawatts sounds ridiculously high, how can you estimate the actual usage? I guess they are not running at capacity 24/7 right? Because that would be more than the consumption of several European countries, like Finland and Belgium:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electri...

There is a second part that is equally bad, but with Zuck:

This is the main reason why I am, generally speaking, against nuclear as a universal solution.

A question for pro-nuclear folks: Would you be okay with having a highly corrupt low HDI country building nuclear facilities (conversion and deconversion, enrichment, power plants) next to your borders?

On top of that this was just one case in the US. It's honestly a bit ridiculous how some Americans seem to believe that when one random judge from their country rules something that instantly turns into an international treaty that every country on Earth must accept.

I friend of mine works for a company that forces engineers to use LLMs for everything: what you can do is to use the LLM to transcribe code just to reach certain level of API usage so to keep the CEO happy.

By using this method you can achieve 100% of code "written by AI", although they won't see an increase in productivity.

Dog whistling is trendy and celebrated nowadays, specially around tech bros: they fucking love it

Sorry about that, I can't edit it anymore but this is the article:

https://www.ft.com/content/cf711815-09dc-4ef3-8bb7-de6b7cb1f...

This submission was written by the marketing department of a company with commercial interests on the given topic and with almost no information about the "survey" itself, it's essentially blogspam.

It would be nice if we could avoid blog posts like this with extraordinary claims but nearly zero methodological information written by a "content marketing manager" from a company that sells AI products.
