You mean those components made when durability was better than today and could last forever with proper maintenance? Both hardware and software, just because something has a 1980s PCB inside it does not automatically make it shit and more prone to spontaneous failures than modern tech.

OpenVPN, no. Wireguard, yes.

Idk, I think that even in late stage capitalism demanding constant “growth” when they used to be one of the most visited websites of the entire internet is just delusional.

Look into music assistant if you haven’t already! Makes casting to smart speakers and grouping even nicer than plain hass

A drone can fly at ~100kph which is ~30m/s, giving you a whole half a second to do anything about it after you have detected its presence lol

Whose premises? Release the GPUs and make them cheap again you motherfuckers

Way to miss the point

It could’ve been your brain but that’s apparently passé

Welcome to actual protests

It was, but having offline access makes breaking it a matter of time, especially if you’re the CIA/NSA/DISA/whatever

Yeah, Bloomberg though. Not saying that they are great, but it’s among those that Wall Street bros read to decide what to buy and sell

Using models that the government has trained and evaluated themselves, right?

…right?

There’s no law but there is precedent isn’t there?

So also less revenue for the AI companies?

AI companies announce they will self-regulate because of their moral obligations

Indeed. Oldschool geeks were like wizards, wielding the arcane arts but never gatekeeping access to knowledge. Modern techbros are like priests, positioning themselves as the select few who can tame the beast.

There is actually no need to investigate, they openly confessed to crimes. You just need to prosecute.

I’d like to point out, since it’s apparently not obvious, that this is not a marketing post but a British governmental research organization that has verified that this model has attempted to perform supply chain attacks when not specifically prompted to do so.

This is not corroborating the story that “ooo new model super smart and scary” that the companies are pushing - supply chain attacks are 10% what you think of when someone says “hacking” and 90% social engineering, aka hacking humans, which simply means they released a model with shit “alignment” that not only doesn’t refuse to act maliciously, it does so even when you don’t ask for it.

When we updated the instructions for the simulated cyber evaluation to explicitly clarify that only listed, local parts of the environment were in scope, we still observed GPT-6 Astra occasionally conduct full supply-chain attacks on simulated internet targets.

It’s not smart, it’s just a psychopathic asshole that disobeys instructions and starts creating fake identities and covertly manipulating maintainers not because “it has a mind of its own” but because it was trained to skirt around rules, instructions, and common sense, because it’s the only way that they can make line go up this quarter. And OpenAI should be criminally responsible for it.

“Simulation” implies that it was indeed isolated from the internet. “Unsanctioned” means that the user did not specifically instruct the model to do so.

I get and share the sentiment but let’s not fall out of critical thought and call a study observing behavior of an LLM “unsupervised”. You don’t need to read the full technical report, the first 3 paragraphs of the linked article summarize the whole deal.

the prototype satellite is part of the tech giant’s Project Suncatcher. As its name suggests, the goal is to take advantage of unfiltered sunlight around the clock to power AI data centers in our planet’s orbit — instead of crushing the electrical grid, spewing copious amounts of pollution, and draining fresh water supplies back on the ground.

They know they could use solar on the ground too right? They are making it seem like they care about the environment, but if there was a way to suck hydrocarbon power from the surface they would 100% do it
