Sounds like a great reason to oppose violent rhetoric and action before it becomes normalized.

What social good do you intend to secure by attacking data centers? How exactly do you propose going about that?

Unfortunately? Are we really at the point of supporting terrorism of the “correct” political persuasion?

The prompts themselves smuggle in the assumption that clan membership is a meaningful selection criteria — with a material impact on outcomes - to which the model should pay attention. It shouldn’t be surprised that the model did what it wa

Which is why everything should be open for robust questioning and debate, and individual cases made on their own merit — not based on whatever favored group characteristic happens to put someone or something beyond debate.

Dishonest people use social causes as camouflage, and the more unassailable the cause, the more effective it is.

> it’s everyone watched the More Perfect Union video Sure sounds like foolish moral panic. Many of the responses here so far would be perfectly at home on bluesky.

That's a deeply flawed reading of what I've written. For example, you've disagreed with me in a way that leads me to believe you're more than a little bit dense, but not a terrorist.

Controversial -- particularly amongst those of a particular political persuasion that supports a terrorist state -- doesn’t mean preposterous.

That's not the lesson I'm taking away from this. Imagine how much faster the code would be if you didn't use Python.

If you need to make exemptions for critical code because you must admit that AI is undeniably of significant utility, it's pretty foolish to still apply a blanket "hard stand" against it elsewhere. AI is here, and it's n

Historically, I’d say that the chances of this being successful are exceptionally low given how large the ABI surface is — and it will wildly change out from underneath you on a near yearly cadence. Perhaps LLMs change that calculation. I r

Well, sure — and the issue with tests is we might end up with well-tested code that does the wrong thing.

That's literally the opposite of reality; the research and adoption have consistently produced code of extremely high quality, at great cost. The problem has always been: - It's extremely labour-intensive, and even small changes t

Who or what is preventing you from exposing your children to whatever you’d prefer? The books aren’t banned.

Removing a book from the library is not a ban any more than a publisher rejecting a manuscript is a ban. Declining to provide a book is not the same as prohibiting the possession, use, or distribution of a book. As for “external parties”, s

Declining to buy and stock a book in a school library is not a ban at all. The book can still be printed, bought, and read. It can be brought into that same school, and read there. It’s not banned.

No, Apple employees originally authored the project on Apple’s time . And it was first hosted at OpenDarwin — which was Apple-run and not available for arbitrary public hosting. It was then hosted at OpenDarwin’s successor — Mac OS Forge.

I ran a company in NYC for six years before the taxes and onerous regulatory environment convinced me to bail. The final straw was when we had to hire a fixer to clear up a state regulatory error that would’ve destroyed our business. No amo

You’re about to tie your names and reputations to this. I would strongly reconsider pivoting unless you actually want to work for no-name companies and on the shady side of technology for at least the next decade.

I genuinely can’t tell if this is naivety or willful ignorance, but at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. This is in direct violation of the terms of service, and Apple invests a lot of money in keeping iMessage clean of this kind of mi
