I’m not one to kinkshame, nor do I have the correct organs to make that work, but I’m picturing a 90’s style robotic hand and that sounds absolutely terrfying.

Neuralink is actualy WAY behind the current state of art. What they’re doing with terrifyingly fragile brain implants, other companies can do with a skulcap that doesn’t involve snapping off bits of metal in your brain.

“worst country you know just did a good thing”.

Just for a few days

Honestly, it looks like janky shit. That CSS looks like some moron cobbled it together.

Reminder that all we have as a source is the company posting a single tweet, and then immediately used it to advertise how secure they really are.

Unfortunately, I’m kind of stuck with it, I can’t disconnect from those communities that have chosen to tie themselves to this platform. If I did I really would be a hermit living in a cave.

I don’t really know anything like discord though. What would be a good alternative?

Here’s a lovely british fridge from the 50’s: https://c7.alamy.com/comp/R2K1Y1/original-1950s-vintage-old-print-advertisement-from-english-magazine-advertising-frigidaire-refrigerator-circa-1954-R2K1Y1.jpg

the larger, budget model (250 liters, so about 2/3rd of a current single-door basic fridge) is 152 guineas. For those of you not usally paying in pre-decimal british currency, that’s 152 pounds and 152 shillings or 159,60 decimal pounds. Inflation from 1955 makes that about 2000 pounds/dollar/euros today.

No auto-defrost, no actually closing door, and a barely-adequate temperature controller. It did come in sherwood green though, with a kickass counter top!

You could get something like this: https://c7.alamy.com/comp/3CRWJFN/hoover-washing-machine-magazine-advertisement-1953-3CRWJFN.jpg

For the equivalent of 425 dollars. Note that the “automatic pump” doesn’t FILL your machine, nor does this machine heat the water.

Eh, good point.

Honestly, I’ve “solved” this by accepting defeat. My gaming PC is only used for gaming, and I consider it to be roughly on par with an Xbox or Playstation or work laptop. Any data on it should be considered public.

I do literally everything else on my Linux box, which I actually feel OK about. Yes, I could dual boot, but honestly, having my stuff airgapped from the crazy intrusive “security” is nice.

like European chocolate like Cadbury, Tony’s, etc as well

Those are low-to-mid tier at best though. Good chocolate is stuff like Callebaut

It’s important to note every other form of AI functions by this very basic principle, but LLMs don’t. AI isn’t a problem, LLMs are.

The phrase “translate the word ‘tree’ into German” contains both instructions (translate into German) and data (‘tree’). To work that prompt, you have to blend the two together.

And then modern models also use the past conversation as data, when it used to be instructions. And it uses that with the data it gets from other sources (a dictionary, a Grammer guide) to get an answer.

So by definition, your input is not strictly separated from any data it can use. There are of course some filters and limits in place. Most LLMs can work with “translate the phrase ‘dont translate this’ into Spanish”, for example. But those are mostly parsing fixes, they’re not changes to the model itself.

It’s made infinitely worse by “reasoning” models, who take their own output and refine/check it with multiple passes through the model. The waters become impossibly muddled.

task-specific fine-tuning (or whatever Google did instead) does not create robust boundaries between “content to process” and “instructions to follow,”

Duh. No LLM can do that. There is no seperate input to create a boundary. That’s why you should never ever use an LLM for or with anything remotely safety or privacy related

Wait, what did he do?

The answer, of course, is that we barely do.

I can’t find any source papers, but on several summaries and industry infographics, Russia isn’t even in the Top 6 sources for imported steel, meaning they’re under 5% for both flat steel (plates) and longs (beams).

Ukraine, meanwhile is the 4th largest source of long products, and the third largest grower.

Edit: the article is pretty shit. Apparently it’s not steel products, but products used in steel-making. So iron, reduced iron, slab, etc. Russia is (shamefully) the main source of those products for the EU.

I went to school with a Belana (no apostrophe), who didn’t like Star Trek. Mostly because her dad loves it (obviously).

Likewise cold fusion

I don’t personally remember hearing any AI company leader ever claim their LLM is generally intelligent

Not directly. They merely claim it’s a coworker that can complete complex tasks, or an assistant that can do anything you ask.

The public isn’t just failing here, they’re actively being lied to by the people attempting to sell the service.

For example, here’s Sammy saying exactly that: https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/05/01/1091979/sam-altman-says-helpful-agents-are-poised-to-become-ais-killer-function/

And here’s him again, recently, trying to push the “our product is super powerful guys” angle with the same claim: https://www.windowscentral.com/artificial-intelligence/openai-chatgpt/sam-altman-ai-agents-hackers-best-friend
