Generally people encrypt with both post-quantum crypto and regular crypto in series to prevent that from being a problem.

Someone studied this (among other thigns): https://dylancastillo.co/posts/pelicanmaxxing.html . Pelicans on bikes always face right in this test, but other animals on other transportation methods sometimes face left.

Destroying the original makes it easier to justify that scanning the books is fair use, because you haven't increased the number of copies. See page 16 of https://copyrightalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2025&

AI companies aren't fabbing processors. They're buying capacity at fabs to make their own designs. To make more RAM, they'd need to invest in making more DRAM fabs, which is a slow process.

Intent often matters in the law (aside from certain laws with strict liability). You intentionally drive your car into someone you hate and kill them => murder, go straight to jail. You're driving along normally and someone who&#x27

> Nevertheless one has to feel very strongly to share such a take here in this manner unless they are gaining something from it. Do they really? What does it cost them if they're wrong?

If they leave at all info about security patterns, you get an AI that knows how to code, but doesn't know what can make code insecure. That doesn't seem like a great idea.

"JPEG" is short for Joint Photographic Experts Group, an ISO/ITU group that creates a lot of imaging standards. The JPEG image format you're thinking of is only one of the formats they've created.

Does anyone know what assets Greenpeace USA has? I imagine Greenpeace international will set up Greenpeace USA 2.0, all the volunteers/employees will move over, and the original will just go bankrupt.

In theory you could generate a bunch of code that seems mostly correct and then gradually tweak it until it's closer and closer to compiling/working, but that seems ill-suited to how current AI agents work (or even how people work

That's a fair point. Normally if you injected the "dog" token, that would cause a set of values to be populated into the kv cache, and those would later be picked up by the attention layers. The question is what's fundam

They aren't being told to be evil, though. Maybe the scenario they're in is most similar to an "evil AI", though, but that's just a vague extrapolation from the set of input data they're given (e.g. both emails

It needs to be a decision problem (or easily recast as a decision problem). "given a number as input, output as many 1's as that number" doesn't have a yes or no answer. You could try to ask a related question like &quo

Meta has experimented with a hybrid mode, where the LLM uses autoregressive mode for text, but within a set of delimiters will switch to diffusion mode to generate images. In principle it's the best of both worlds.

If they cared they could probably use a DEF system to reduce them.
