  • Instagram boss: 16 hours of daily use is not addiction

    Jump

  • lol you missed the duplicate the first time, yet another sign of your illiteracy. And you ignored it, typical of the belligerent hypocrite... But tell us, o wise one, what "authority" do you feel was appealed to?

  • X's Algorithm Pushes Users to Lean More Conservative, Researchers Find

    Jump

  • Is it a coincidence that X is also the epicenter of corporate-funded CSAM generation?

    (BTW the byline on this post, "Facebook, Instagram and YouTube being no better", is not backed by the Gizmodo article)

    Jump

  • It's most indicative of the fact that so-called "guardrails" baked into chatbots don't really work. Any unvetted information ingested by a chatbot may be regurgitated by a chatbot, no matter how much the alleged tech geniuses working at allegedly cutting-edge companies do about it.

  • Despite being a product I've never heard of before either, apparently tens of millions of people have installed it from the Google Play Store.

  • US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I follow your logic. If countries are getting more authoritarian and nationalistic, and China is already blocking Tor, why would they feel compelled to not block something that even more blatantly a nationalistic American project?

  • US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere

    Jump

  • The United States already funds the Tor Project, but despite this looking similar at first blush, it's far more centralized and thus easier to surveil anybody who uses it.

    Portal team includes former DOGE member Coristine

    Aka Edward Coristine, aka "Big Balls", aka the guy who helped compromise your social security number, aka the reason the US put stormtroopers into DC.

  • Wrong.

    Even if you think you are right, o arbiter of truth, apparently dozens of people disagree with your take when shown context. That's on you bro. Go fix it.

  • And that's bad for the harm it will cause to people who are bound to be in a poorer locale, right Facedeer?

    ....Right?

  • Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety"

    Jump

  • Exactly. And some of them are rats fleeing a sinking ship. Just look at Mrinank Sharma, who got paid a million bucks or so for a year at Anthropic, then ditched.

  • I hate to hand it to airline manufacturers, but at least when they cut corners, they actually make money. The whole AI industry still hasn't turned a profit yet...

  • Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert

    Jump

  • “It’s the classic technology scenario,” he said. “You’ve got a technology that’s very, very promising, but not as rigorously tested as you would like it to be, and the commercial pressure behind it is unbearable.”

    Is it promising though, Michael Wooldridge? Have you recently attended any magic shows and become excited by the potential of invisibility technology?

  • I appreciate the people who help make sure AI doesn't receive an ounce of the credit it doesn't deserve

    Jump

  • Considering the Pine Phone's price, poor performance is an understandable trade-off.

  • The stupid/malicious dichotomy just keeps coming up with you, huh. How did you miss the explanations? Ditto for your original wrong comment.

  • Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety"

    Jump

  • So what's the problem?

    "What's the problem" with the entire American economy being moored to a bunch of companies all acting as flaky as Enron and friends during the dot-com crash?

    Edit: just realized FaceDeer is obsessed with AI stuff, so he's probably here just to troll with questions he already knows the answers to.

  • Talents leave AI companies: "They are putting profits over sanity and safety"

    Jump

  • If anybody leaves an AI company with a fat paycheck, promises to "be honest about the real problems," and then proceeds to regurgitate things the AI company CEOs say: be suspicious.

    Exhibit A is Anthropic millionaire Mrinank Sharma, who only mentioned (future) peril from AI and AI-made bioweapons, two fictional scenarios on the short list that Anthropic officially endorses. It's a list of things that please Anthropic investors.

    Real-world stuff like AI psychosis, poisoning people's air, or generating CSAM doesn't get a mention from him. There's no profit in acknowledging those things, so he won't.
