Your ‘impressed’ position was ill-informed and poorly judged. Now you are just making pedantic arguments instead of accepting reality. That’s your choice, i’ll waste no more time on you.

First up you’re just plain wrong about abuse of office.

Just a few examples:

Germany allows personal criminal liability for senior managers who breach their duty of care, and companies can also face fines if the offense enriches or was intended to enrich the company.

Japan criminalizes “special breach of trust” by executives, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

South Africa holds company directors and managers criminally liable for cartel activity.

United States: CEOs and CFOs can face criminal penalties—including fines up to $5 million and up to 20 years in prison—for willful misconduct in certifying financial reports. but I’ll let you challenge that last one, because it is:

• the relevant jurisdiction for Nvidia, and
• a banana republic with a shaky track record of legal enforcement

If you think Nvidia got to be #1 honestly and then just made a couple of mistakes recently then you’ve been grossly misled. There has been a longstanding pattern of misbehaviour with very public markers going back consistently to at least 2018 where they were caught on financial disclosures/misreporting and anticompetitive business practices.

I doubt it is coincidence that the company position and stock price that impresses you so much started going up around 2018: https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/nvda/history/

Impressed is not a word I would personally choose to describe a man whose actions clearly amount to insider trading, securities fraud, federal bribery, abuse of office, breach of US national security, breach of US sanctions, and willing, knowledgeable participation in a multinational multibillion dollar value smuggling network.
…and that barely touches him personally presiding over circular financing lunacy on a scale that makes the Enron look like a rounding error.

No… impressed is not the word - what everyone should be is apoplectic. It is outrageous that quality journalism dating which has been exposing these things for over 2 years now (notable examples from Ed Zitron and Steve Burke are easy to find), has been consciously ignored by the mass media who only woke up when the words “Chinese”, “spy”, and “sex” could be put in one headline. Hopefully we’ll see if the US justice system, international economists, and international trade politicians have woken up too over the next few days.

As it was before AI. Local is the answer when shared is at the mercy of interests antagonistic to the users.

Do you mean compelling them to operate on a completely open source basis?

If you mean as in government owned/controlled, considering the primary thieves are US corporations, that would be the equivalent of the american government laundering stolen goods and compounding the theft from the rest of the world.

Interesting idea. If i subscribe to a streaming service for one month, i can save 31 days * 24 hours of content for later viewing. That would keep ke going quite a while since i only have the time to watch tv for a couple of hours per night…

I dony think its a terrible future that we all get our own Jarvis to help us be a little more Tony Stark. But if those jarvis replicas are all either open to or controlled by anyone but the user its simply not a viable future. If they ae open to or controlled by dystopian oligarchs like zuckerberg, then … “fuck no” is the only rtional response.

For some time now I think its been the case that frontier models perform worse (or at least more inconsistently) at procedural activity.

Sign me up for a graphene razr ultra please and thank you. Dont have any issue with self install if it doesnt ship that way

They killed assistant and claimed the unwilling transfer as growth. Shitty journalism or a shitty headline? Either way bad …

RIP

Home had 4 windows machines a year ago. Now 1 windows machine, a raspberry pi, and 4 linux machines… reckon theres still a real move under the data. Ai may be part but its not all or most.

Whether or not you can find someone based on their phone number is based on a user setting. Each person chooses whether or not they can be found by their phone number.
Go to Settings - Privacy - Phone number.

Really though, this is an excuse more than a roadblock.

I find people oddly resistant to an additional message app, yet they gleefully download a new app at every carpark they visit. People are odd.

Border pigs have cellebrite, assume they can access anything left intact.

If it botherw you, wipe it, if it doesnt, you dont really need a duress pin. But login to one profile and cellebrite can get the rest.

That would be an interesting proposition… under duress load profile x and delete all other profiles, apps, settings and keys.

And thats why you dont travel to countries with ropey regimes

Loading any profile allows the operating system access to root privileges, and opens potential for user privilege escalation.

I have lots of contempt for their business models. Felonious and otherwise. 😂

No airgap = no containment

In all likelihood, this is a BS piece to make people think the models are intelligent.

If its not, then openai are utterly incompetent and reckless.

Not something i need imagination for. Im not saying 3 years is optimal, but there does have to be a threshold somewhere. Personally i’d build it into user settings to allow users to self select a time period they accept.
