As the senior dev, please don’t.

Music to my ears.

Why? LLMs are built by training maching learning models on vast amounts of text data; essentially it looks for patterns. We’ve seen this repeatedly with other behaviour from LLMs regarding race and gender, highlighting the underlying bias in the dataset. This would be no different, unless you’re disputing that there is a possible correlation between bad code and fascist/racist/sexist tendencies?

Notepadqq seems to be catching up to Notepad++. In my case the feature that I was sorely missing was the function list, as I am not a heavy macro/plugin user.

Just for the benefit of other readers, Notepadqq is one of the alternatives for Linux. However, there are a few features I really wanted from Notepad++, so I have installed it using wine. No problems there. Hopefully some day we’ll see a Linux release.

This makes me suspect that the LLM has noticed the pattern between fascist tendencies and poor cybersecurity, e.g. right-wing parties undermining encryption, most of the things Musk does, etc.

Here in Australia, the more conservative of the two larger parties has consistently undermined privacy and cybersecurity by implementing policies such as collection of metadata, mandated government backdoors/ability to break encryption, etc. and they are slowly getting more authoritarian (or it’s becoming more obvious).

Stands to reason that the LLM, with such a huge dataset at its disposal, might more readily pick up on these correlations than a human does.

Honestly, I can’t blame them.

Makes me wonder if this was Musk’s plan all along - make Starlink indispensible and then leverage it against Ukraine when the time came.

Agreed. I buy physical versions wherever possible. Plus video and audio are generally higher quality than streaming/digital purchases.

This pretty much proves that the US government is experiencing its worst cybersecurity breach ever.

In a sane world, this lawsuit would be laughed out of court.

The big win I see here is the amount of optimisation they achieved by moving from the high-level CUDA to lower-level PTX. This suggests that developing these models going forward can be made a lot more energy-efficient, something I hope can be extended to their execution as well. As it stands currently, “AI” (read: LLMs and image generation models) consumes way too many resources to be sustainable.

Actually, I’m unclear on that point - do foreign companies actually have to comply, or is it just limited to government communications and government-published maps (e.g. the USGS, etc.)?

Pathetic. Hopefully the rest of the world doesn’t follow suit. Renaming it just for one of Trump’s ego trips is not a good reason.

This sounds like a really bad idea:

The “most charismatic” application of AI, said Ellison, would pertain to electronic health records, which would let doctors monitor best practices in far flung places. For instance, a doctor in Indian River reservation would be able to see how a doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering would a treat a patient, he said.

Do we really want to give a black box unfettered access to everyone’s medical records? It’s a privacy and security nightmare waiting to happen.

Just send him offworld and close the iris.

I guess I’ll be avoiding those models when I’m next in the market for a TV, or work out how to disable it/block it at my router if I am forced to connect the TV to the Internet for firmware updates, etc.

Interesting. I can imagine a scenario where the resolution of CCTV is low enough that a mask would impede recognition in that instance. It’s definitely not something I would want to rely on, though.

Sorry, but facial recognition software has basically caught up. I would not rely on a mask to prevent me being recognised today:
