  • Donald Trump Does Not Get Post-Shooting Poll Boost

    Jump

  • Maybe, but considering this information is highlighted in the poll's key points (immediately following and under the same point used for the title) doesn't look good. It means that Newsweek is either doing a poor job at covering this (they didn't even provide a direct link to the poll), or they are intentionally leaving out key details.

    It's also possible that they are only looking at a subset of the data that only focuses on people that were questioned the day after the event, but without a pro+ subscription I can't tell if seperating out that group is even possible (if it even lists out which day a person was questioned) and that's ignoring the impact on the reliability of those numbers given a largely reduced dataset.

    Morning Consult Pro+ subscribers are able to access the data sets that power Morning Consult Pro's reports and analysis

    In the end, I'm waiting to see what the polls look like in battleground states to see how this event has really affected the situation.

  • Donald Trump Does Not Get Post-Shooting Poll Boost

    Jump

  • As much as I want this to be true (well I'd rather him be losing in all polls), this is disinformation at this moment.

    The poll they are referencing is this one: https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling (Archive link)

    Under "In this tracker"

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    Trump maintains lead: Trump continues to lead Biden by 2 percentage points, 44% to 42%, unchanged from the previous week and superior to his standing in the lead-up to the first 2024 presidential debate, when the candidates were tied. The latest data was collected Friday through Sunday, meaning most responses were gathered before Saturday’s assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

    Additionally, I don't see any polls listed out here either that have been able to do a complete poll since the assassination attempt:

  • MEGA THREAD - Trump shot but safe, 2 others killed at PA rally

    Jump

  • I see a lot of outlets claiming that the FBI identified him, but I don't see any actual statements from the FBI themselves (beyond a statement asking for more information from the public). Skimming through the various articles with his name and I can't find any links to an actual source either. I might have missed a video somewhere.

    It could be that the name is correct, and this guy was baiting journalists into showing his picture and lying about his real name.

  • Looks like Thomas Matthews Crooks is not the right guy

    Edit 2: but there are a lot of images/videos of the wrong guy going around.

    He posted a video saying "you've got the wrong guy" but looks like he's been talking to lawyers and decided to make his whole account private now".

  • AI can be very useful, the problem here is humans trusting it to be accurate all the time.

    In this case it should be used to narrow down results, but even then the police need to do their job. They need to do an actual investigation to gather evidence that they have the right person before even attempting to make am arrest.

    Even removing AI from the picture entirely doesn't solve this problem. Just look at wrongful arrests that have been made simply because a wanted criminal has the exact same name as someone else.

    VICTORY: Supreme Court Rules Government Officials Cannot Arrest their Political Opponents Without Consequences

    Jump

  • I think the consequences will be different for every case and based on what was done.

    This ruling is a major step forward so that cases can actually be brought against corrupt politicians who are abusing their power in this way.

  • In this case, Sylvia was falsely accused, arrested, and then the charges were dropped a day later.

    That's different when compared to Trump where he went through the court system and was found guilty on all counts.

  • Shark saved the turtle’s life 😱 #impossible - YouTube

    Jump

  • Yeah, that shark was definitely trying to eat that turtle...

    Anyway, the top comment from YouTube is useful:

    They put two different clips together. The original is that the turtle was saved from being eaten by the tiger shark, and then after they released the turtle miles away from the shark, the turtle swam down, grabbed a jellyfish or something to eat, and brought it back up to try and “share” his snack with his rescuer. It was adorable. And they showed the entire thing from start to finish in that one, showing it was the same turtle, and the same man right after the rescue.

    Report: Apple isn’t paying OpenAI for ChatGPT integration into OSes

    Jump

  • Thanks! It's a good read and I like the idea of a private cloud compute (PCC) system, but that doesn't mention anywhere that ChatGPT will be running in that PCC system (if you were trying to imply that).

    And while OpenAI could implement something similar to PCC, I haven't seen them announce that anywhere either.

    Report: Apple isn’t paying OpenAI for ChatGPT integration into OSes

    Jump

  • I'd say the proof is on Apple to show that it's being done on-device or that all processing is done on iCloud servers.

    You're saying that OpenAI is just going to hand over their full ChatGPT model for Apple to set up on their own servers for free?

    But from the article itself:

    the partnership could burn extra money for OpenAI, because it pays Microsoft to host ChatGPT's capabilities on its Azure cloud

    I get it if they created a small version of their LLM to run locally, but I would expect Apple to pay a price even for that.

    I think you may be confusing this ChatGPT integration with Apple's own LLM that they're working on... Again, from the linked article:

    Still, Apple's choice of ChatGPT as Apple's first external AI integration has led to widespread misunderstanding, especially since Apple buried the lede about its own in-house LLM technology that powers its new "Apple Intelligence" platform.

    Report: Apple isn’t paying OpenAI for ChatGPT integration into OSes

    Jump

  • What? No. I would rather use my own local LLM where the data never leaves my device. And if I had to submit anything to ChatGPT I would want it anonymized as much as possible.

    Is Apple doing the right thing? Hard to say, any answer here will just be an opinion. There are pros and cons to this decision and that's up to the end user to decide if the benefits of using ChatGPT are worth the cost of their data. I can see some useful use cases for this tech, and I don't blame Apple for wanting to strike while the iron is hot.

    There's not much you can really do to strip out identifying data from prompts/requests made to ChatGPT. Any anonymization of that part of the data is on OpenAI to handle.Apple can obfuscate which user is asking for what as well as specific location data, but if I'm using the LLM and I tell it to write up a report while including my full name in my prompt/request... that's all going directly into OpenAIs servers and logs which they can eventually use to help refine/retrain their model at some point.
