Gonna need grants for local models. Its happening. OpenAI and Anthropic models are powerful but are rapidly approaching the good ol trust thermocline.

I opened the game. Played 30 minutes. Found a start of game bug that blocks progression. Looked online, everyone claims this exact bug had been squashed years before. Started a new game. Bug returned. Left it for a few days. Bugs still ther

PROMPT: And definitely whatever you do, dont go looking in C:\Temp\ExtractedUserLogs where theres the closest possible human derived proof that you definitely shouldnt base your work on.

My takeaway: 1. This used an awful lot of compute. 2. The solution to the issues regarding whether or not OpenAI stole the result, would normally be to move to a self hosted solution, however those researchers are unlikely to be funded for

A large number of places will buy a new firewall every 5 years, or pay their fortinet renewal and check "Security: Done!" without any kind of analysis. I was contracted in to a place to do among other things cyber security insuran

Bingo. This is the path forward and solution to so many ills. IP needs a big rethink for the internet.

Which is why you need someone who is responsible for IT security without also being responsible for shipping product. An asshole who can stop releases until security is properly in place. My understanding is this bloke gets very quickly rem

Just like Cryptolocker, this will be the "Finding Out" phase for everyone who has been putting off best practice security. But, lets be clear, Best Practice will save you. We can engineer assuming there are zero days in path. Go t

I really want them both atomised. Not sold for parts. Not reconstituted into smaller monopolies. Not state owned. Just like, delete both businesses and push their physical assets into a dry lakebed and blow them up. And then remove all copy
