  • U.S. companies back Sam Altman’s World ID even as much of the world pushes back

  • FWIW I had to use an equivalent which didn't work on my setup. I emailed the company, they said try this, try that, which I did, still no dice. They emailed me a form to print, sign, take a photo of, and email them back. I did and the 3rd party that relied on their service was notified.

    So... it's OK to be "annoying" with this kind of services if it doesn't work respective of your setup itself respective of your concerns.

    I'm not saying it will also work, or that it's efficient, just that it's a possibility.

  • home automation server that doesn’t connect to the internet?

    Well if uses wireless connectivity with either range broader than your place or is connected to a device that is itself online it can still be a risk. Sure it's very VERY specific but scanning techniques also improve.

  • Indian med student rakes in thousands with AI-generated MAGA hottie

  • IMHO what's interesting is that the platforms benefit from it because their metric is engagement.

    Consequently this scammer, med student or not, is generating traffic and transactions through the platforms he used. Those platforms grow and keep their user base, can sell more ads, etc. Some platforms might ban this kind of practice but barely enforce their own rules, others might precisely exist because they don't have such rules.

    So what's fundamental here is the dynamic, how engaging content, fake or not, controversial or not, dangerous or not, does keep on being promoted to more people because it does make sense for the platforms.

  • Doesn't matter, authorities in the jurisdiction where they are based and also where there clients are can just fine them into oblivion. This government won't but they could, if they wanted to. That's the whole point of the law, regulators "just" have to write it down for it to become what everybody must follow, or have terrible consequences. They don't have to be physically blocked. It's not a technical problem.

  • It's even worst than that, yes it's all that AND it doesn't apply to them, namely they'll shout that insanity to each other, and the whole World, to see but when it's "them" then they, rationally of course, find a clinic. Absolutely garbage of human beings who are not coherent. Do as I say, not as I do.

  • That's the beauty of totally arbitrary restrictions, you can change them as you want.

    Pay by seat? Pay by client? Pay by byte of data stored? Pay by backup location?

    ... pay by moonphase? Pay by AI personality? Pay by virtual AI seat?

    Such BS but why wouldn't Microslop extend its business model. It worked well so far. It's not about software, or datacenter, or AI, it's just about entrenchment.

  • Regardless of skill level for-profit GenAI/LLM AI has a terrible economical (funding focus), political (regulatory capture), social (dataset clean up, PR floods on FLOSS projects, spam & scam) and ecological (GPU deprecation pace, data centers) impact.

    So... even if somehow a person is so skilled they finally find good use for models hosted by Anthropic, OpenAI, etc then unfortunately they can't disentangle it from all the negative externalities.

  • Yes, I didn't know the expression "local rewrites" but that seems to capture it well.

    My bet it's another version of the inverse of Not Invented Here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_invented_here where the IT department or a random manager claims that whatever was generated is "theirs" implying agency. They don't realize that each iteration will get harder and more expensive (bigger context window) while alternatives have accumulated thousands and thousands of "bugs" or even just usage highlighted limits of their implementation. So they are re-inventing their version at great cost and in the end the difference between what they worked on is basically equivalent of open source equivalents but with no community support and instead a dependency on models and infrastructure they don't own.

  • Maybe but that wasn't my point. My point is that a lot of people now invest a LOT of resources, being token, money, time, etc to invent the wheel again. Instead of relying on e.g. Drupal they'll "generate" yet another CMS which will work (for a while, in theory) not because it's a good idea (IMHO it's not) but because it's been marketed as doable and even "better" on some aspects (e.g. customizable).

  • VLC got to the moon before bitcoin or gamestop

    Перейти

  • And that's why GenAI for code is gaining popularity.

    It's not because it's better than free open-source libraries. It's because it's better marketed.

  • How anyone thinks they are productive with llm tools is baffling

  • Thanks for sharing. I'm not sure where me asking for examples "say it doesn’t do anything good or to insult all people who use it". Someone makes a claim without any proof, I ask for proof. To me that sounds both simple and legitimate.

  • An idiot intern is better.

    Well, 100% because the intern WILL eventually learn. That's the entire difference. It won't be about adjusting the prompt, or add yet another layer of "reasoning", or wait for the next "version" with a different code name an .1% larger dataset. No, you'll point to the intern they did a mistake, try not calling them an idiot, explain WHY it's wrong, optionally explain how to do it right, THEN the next time they'll avoid it or fix it after.

    That's the entire point of having an intern : initially they suck BUT as you train them, they don't! Meanwhile an LLM, despite technical jargon hijacked by the marketing department, they don't "learn" (from machine learning) or train (from "training dataset") or have "neurons" (from "artificial neural networks") rather it's just statistics on the next most probable world, sounding right with 0 "reasoning".

    Glad I moved away from Github and self-host for few years already.

  • So ombudsman can be for "petty" things, like the belt of my e-bike, but also for much more "serious" things like political corruption, vote scams, etc where I imagine Congress might be correct. As https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ombudsmen_in_the_United_States clarifies though there are ombudsmen dedicated to agencies but also state level or even city and county level. So I imagine the more precise you are picking the right one, the more likely it's going to be treated, efficiently or at all.
