That would not fly in Canadian courts, I honestly doubt it would in American one either.

Framing this around personal humiliation is the dumbest possible way to report on this.

This is click bait, nothing more.

I’m not a fan of a lot of his politics but I honestly thought that interview was worth listening to. He has some interesting nuanced takes.

I suspect that everyone in here complaining about AI didn’t actually read the article.

The article states that Palantir’s Maven system was over-relied on, and compressed a process that would have taken months into one that took days, but it also points out that that Maven didn’t actually make a mistake based on the way it was supposed to operate.

It sounds like some military personnel were mistaken in how much vetting and revetting maven itself would do, but the article also lays much of the blame at Hegseth’s gutting of the civilian harm roles, and failures in intelligence vetting and gathering that fed into maven in the first place. Years ago US intelligence personnel had flagged that Minab had turned into a school, but that information was not in the database used by maven.

Like I have no doubt that Maven is part of the problem, but it sounds like it was far from the only part.

No, OpenAI heard about a pair of researchers who were getting close to solving the problem and spent $22M on compute power to scoop them.

Even more concerningly, the researchers had been using OpenAI’s codex model in their earlier work, meaning that OpenAI’s model may have literally directly trained from and ripped off their work.
