Maybe you haven't noticed that the "Bitter Lesson" had itself a "Bitter Lesson" - that scaling pure data and compute did not lead to AGI: diminishing training returns, GPT-5 disappointment, even openAI stating it wa

Altman needs 'innovations' for his IPO - it's not of any consequence to him that they are not oAI's as long as they can be sold among openAi's social-media propaganda ring which the gullible press feeds off.

The big LLM providers, desperate for good PR before their IPOs, are all actively looking for 'almost finished' hard problems, e.g. where the conceptual / creative parts are almost done and they only need to throw their VC-bac

While I had the same thoughts about the coming cyber-apocalypse, the ugly truth is that it doesn't make a difference as in a year or so models will be so persuasive and skilled in social engineering that even the hardest cyberdefense i

A wake up call for anyone using (openAI) chatbots : your data, ideas and execution can become their spontaneous 'inspirations' at any time - even if the LLM providers are 'just' using a meta concept monitoring system acr

That's what you get when a marketing CEO is driving gas-to-the-medal to a IPO: Altman starts showing his real face in public : steal what you can and label it as yours.

There are AI labs headed by marketing CEOs that fake metrics, have an utter disregard for humanity and make up "AGI is imminent" propaganda for their IPO, and then there are AI labs headed by actual scientists that do actual scie

1 year left for cybersecurity hardening, I thought so as well. The issue is, even if we get it done: in 1 year the models will be so good in social-engineering that they will be able to extract any information they want anyway. Happy to be

Nope, shiftphone's display can be replaced in a minute, without any tools. And it's as waterproof as the iPhone or similar device.

So OpenAI’s stance on AI safety is now basically that Blues Brothers meme: two guys in dark sunglasses, driving at night in a car with broken headlights, pedal to the metal, asking, "What could possibly go wrong ?"

Great what they are doing - yet I found Shiftphone to be also fair, equally or better repairable and even more open for alternative Operating Systems. I think Fairphone supports 2 OSes officially, Shiftphone has a whole custom ROM list of ~
