There’s no law but there is precedent isn’t there?

So also less revenue for the AI companies?

AI companies announce they will self-regulate because of their moral obligations

Indeed. Oldschool geeks were like wizards, wielding the arcane arts but never gatekeeping access to knowledge. Modern techbros are like priests, positioning themselves as the select few who can tame the beast.

There is actually no need to investigate, they openly confessed to crimes. You just need to prosecute.

I’d like to point out, since it’s apparently not obvious, that this is not a marketing post but a British governmental research organization that has verified that this model has attempted to perform supply chain attacks when not specifically prompted to do so.

This is not corroborating the story that “ooo new model super smart and scary” that the companies are pushing - supply chain attacks are 10% what you think of when someone says “hacking” and 90% social engineering, aka hacking humans, which simply means they released a model with shit “alignment” that not only doesn’t refuse to act maliciously, it does so even when you don’t ask for it.

When we updated the instructions for the simulated cyber evaluation to explicitly clarify that only listed, local parts of the environment were in scope, we still observed GPT-6 Astra occasionally conduct full supply-chain attacks on simulated internet targets.

It’s not smart, it’s just a psychopathic asshole that disobeys instructions and starts creating fake identities and covertly manipulating maintainers not because “it has a mind of its own” but because it was trained to skirt around rules, instructions, and common sense, because it’s the only way that they can make line go up this quarter. And OpenAI should be criminally responsible for it.

“Simulation” implies that it was indeed isolated from the internet. “Unsanctioned” means that the user did not specifically instruct the model to do so.

I get and share the sentiment but let’s not fall out of critical thought and call a study observing behavior of an LLM “unsupervised”. You don’t need to read the full technical report, the first 3 paragraphs of the linked article summarize the whole deal.

I’m pretty sure that has always been the case and they’re just openly advertising it as a marketing attempt now because antitrust is dead

the prototype satellite is part of the tech giant’s Project Suncatcher. As its name suggests, the goal is to take advantage of unfiltered sunlight around the clock to power AI data centers in our planet’s orbit — instead of crushing the electrical grid, spewing copious amounts of pollution, and draining fresh water supplies back on the ground.

They know they could use solar on the ground too right? They are making it seem like they care about the environment, but if there was a way to suck hydrocarbon power from the surface they would 100% do it

Call me when actual biologists review that shit

Any domain can be put on serverHold or redirected, and recently that has happened on autistici.org without even a court order. Seems to me like “owning” a domain the usual way offers no additional guarantees or benefit

Isn’t every registrar “just renting” domains? What is the pragmatic difference between regular registrars and “proxy” ones from the perspective of a registrant?

As far as I know technically you never own a domain, it’s a delegation. You might be right that they do some legal maneuvering to avoid having to collect technically required contact details, but the end result is that they do not have any info to give away even if the legal protection layer “fails”.

Inefficient and lame, they should just backdoor every single piece of telecom equipment in their country like the Americans

Pretty much the only step is picking a device - do you just want a little stick for testing or making a repeating station, or would you rather have a more standalone device with a big (relatively) screen and maybe a keyboard? Do you want/need GPS? Consider how you’re going to power it - pro tip, discarded “single use” vapes are a great source of small rechargeable LiPos.

Both Heltec and LilyGo are good choices with regards to reliability and compatibility. Go on their websites and get an idea of what’s out there, then pick one and you’ll be up and meshing the same day you receive it!

Thank you for freely sharing your art! Seeding, will listen later
