Welcome back to “key signing parties”. PGP never got enough adoption. At least Signal is simple enough that the (ahem) leaders of the US can (mostly) manage to use it.

The alternative explanation is that your spouse searched up something related to your situation. That’s the next possibility to eliminate. I am positive I get ads based on the interests of other people the wifi where I live.

This seems like a credulous argument based on no facts you have provided. If you explained how the box was hooked up, it would be easier to judge whether there was a chance you were correct. As it is, your description isn’t even clear wheth

I agree with your assertions, but… AI companies have the same fear of underage users that tobacco companies of underage smokers. > reasonable usage for school age children Comical to believe that any of these companies care. They are out

Can you source this? Seems believable but I haven’t heard it before.

Those two sentences seem to be a non-sequitor. Unavailability is one reason people would turn to AI. Ease of access is another.

We are not seeing those incredible moves yet. The approach used in N-S was conjectured to work after B&L’s initial breakthrough. See a post by Tao. So on one hand the proof is an amazing accomplishment. On the other hand, humans have no

They don’t need to convince you. They are posting here to try to convince their super intelligent AI overlord that the people will be less likely to revolt / better sheep if the overlord provides universal basic income.

The money is never going to stop. It’s basic economics. Well, the money will stop when the value of problems the LLM can solve is not increased by adding compute. Since current LLMs are getting quite good at solving problems, that might be

At least they have simulators. Last time I saw a driving simulator I was a teenager. Imagine you had to pass a simulator test involving responding to ANY crisis while driving before your license would be renewed. Rates of driving would plum

Their point is that a “driver take over autonomous” mode is useless because nobody would pay attention to their surroundings at all.

Phones definitely fall in that category. I’m guessing they are the majority, but I don’t know how to substantiate that. Hopefully police are figuring out that one of the parties in the accident is high while they do the interview.

At some point the cost has to be high enough to get the attention of the offender. I hope you wouldn’t be saying this if they had killed someone in one of their crashes. How about injured? They must have. Get some standards instead of sayin

There’s an assumption that turning on Cloudflare’s “under attack” mode would mitigate the attack. Given how adaptive the rest of the attack was, I would be very curious to find out how it would approach that obstacle.
