Just a reminder for devs? That in general every extra line of code is an extra liability.
The real risk going forward is maintaining the output of the AI Slop Cannon 5000.
The Rebecca/Vittorio stuff seems to have engulfed Daniel Sloss, something to note
Usually, for the roast joke process, they are ran by the target. Tragically for Rebecca this didnt happen
The other comedians on stage would assume she knew of the joke, hence no angry reactions
America is the bad place now.
BREAKING: The Pentagon says it will livestream the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan. apnews.com/article/fort-hood…
The banning of immigration visas for Microsoft and Adobe in the manner it has been done is a massive self own.
There is an issue in terms of preferring importing cheaper labour, but the way they have approached this won’t create American jobs…it’ll just push the jobs abroad 🤦♂️
Real life is stranger than fiction.
I never thought the day would come when the film Idiocracy would become real life.
I see that Flock are not only pretty nefarious with their data sharing practices, but it turns out some of these engineering mistakes coming out are born of incompetence too.
That’s a dangerous mix.
Hey @Brammflakes, a couple of suggestions for @WARDOGS... especially around loadouts
More focused gun-building process; use a modal or subview?
In the gear and items, have more suggestions based upon gun selections, quick links to throw more ammo, mags into your bag?
None of this matters until the results come in….
But Pocognoli is saying all the right things!

Worth a repost
BREAKING: Trump said he graduated first in class but wharton records show he ranked 364th out of 366.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
No Wharton records show Trump ranked 364th out of 366. UPenn does not disclose class rankings; public records confirm he graduated without honors and was not on the dean's list of top students.

Periodistas despedidos del histórico The Washington Post por Jeff Bezos, han creado un nuevo periódico para luchar contra la desinformación y los bulos de la era Trump.
La era donde las élites millonarias quieren controlar el mundo. No hay que rendirse.
So at this point the summary is that all researchers should abandon using OpenAI? Got it
🦔An NYU mathematician says OpenAI used his own progress against him to beat him to one of the biggest unsolved problems in mathematics. Tristan Buckmaster had been working toward a Millennium Prize proof using OpenAI's Codex when information about his progress reached OpenAI.
Days later, OpenAI published a full proof of the same problem using the same uncommon approach, after burning $22.5 million in compute to get there. When Buckmaster confronted them, exec Sébastien Bubeck allegedly said "Why would you ruin your career?" and "If you don't want me to be nice, then I don't have to be nice."
My Take
OpenAI spent $22.5 million to solve a problem with a $1 million prize. They didn't do this for the bounty. They needed a headline that says "our AI solved one of the hardest problems in mathematics" and they needed it before someone else got credit. They started days after they heard about Buckmaster's progress and took the same uncommon approach he'd pursued for months. That's hard to explain as coincidence.
Buckmaster did his work inside Codex. OpenAI reserves the right to train on Codex data. They admit they can't rule out that his usage helped improve their models. So a customer used their product, potentially handed them the roadmap, and then OpenAI outran him with $22.5 million in compute he could never match. I don't know if any of this was intentional. But if you're a researcher and you just watched this happen, I don't think you'd keep your best ideas inside someone else's product.

I wonder how many owners of self-driving vehicles realise that they can be liable for any mistakes it makes...
Just a reminder that every new AI model is designed as much to churn through tokens and increase spending, improving user productivity is a secondary concern.
If it’s too efficient it’ll get nukes into the ground.
GPT6 is no different.

This is desperate stuff. Compare ANY major US city with London and the London homicide rate is far lower. Indeed compare London — a global city state of almost 10m — with somewhere like sleepy, safe Burlington, Vermont (pop 45,000, which means it’s not really a sensible comparison) and the Burlington murder rate is still TWICE London!! So stop spreading drivel.
