Because they are treated very different. They are part of the unique political party that runs the company, like in China. Democracy exists only outside the company, inside the company it's the same political system as in China. What that means is that loyalty is the only thing that matters for those roles. Productivity not at all.

Maybe consciousness itself is also just a "pattern matching algorithm at scale". Maybe there is no magic.

I use AI so much that I too started hearing myself using the same phrasing as AI... not happy about it.

I worked in the industry. It would have been really hard for China not to do better. Like really hard. They allocated 2 years, 150 people for a device that already existed but needed to be adapted to a different customer. It took 2.5 years. No improvements added. Every single manager in those companies is very political, no skills, technical or otherwise. So if chinese hired 20 competent people, gave them training on the industry's specific tools, they are already ahead.

It was just that. And email with the new password. Hard to remember at first but then, somehow, I could type it from memory. Not sure how they got rid of the emails after they sent them but there are ways. It can be leaked from the source, true, but people with better technical skills were handling that source. So I guess overall it was better. The big insight might be that you can't evaluate the security of a system only from the technical aspect. You have to take into consideration also the human aspect. And that's a very weak point. Even Communism failed because they didn't take into consideration the human aspect (people don't want to work more if they get what everybody else gets anyway).

There was a time when you would get a truly random password sent, every X months.

And if you do provide feedback, they also collect the session. So it's a way for them to collect prompts, answers and overall grade for how good the answers are.

I did. At some point Claude figured out I didn't even check the code and it "minified" the code. Now only Claude can change it. It's a small side project I wanted to do for a long time and now it's Done.

It will be just in time for when AI will run very well on consumer hardware and the need for data centers will collapse.

Autism looks to me similar to what a guy had when we were children. His mother was known for drinking even durring pregnancy. I'm pretty sure that we are disrupting some development mechanism today with all the substances we consume, even without knowing. Food, cosmetics, clothes, the air and so on. I think this onslaught on our bodies is what disrupts normal body functioning, in unpredictable ways. Combine that with pregnancy and the disruptions get written in "hardware". So no real cure, maybe some improvements. At government levels I think this is known, but they don't know what to do about it. Giving people a clean environment again, will have to undo most of the "progress" we got. Anyway, this is just my hunch but at individual level is better not to wait for 100% scientific confirmation.

Japan ambassador in Romania said just that in an interview.

I don't like those headlights also. I think it's a case of when founders bring too much of their personality into the product. Otherwise great product and this self drive system at least has a sound start (track objects across video frames)

Why look foolish if you don't have to?
