This is not just "Outside the Tech Sector", but "outside the magnificent 7"

"Tech sector" is supposed to be much bigger than just 7 companies, no matter how big those 7 are.

This looks to me more like just a huge centralization of wealth.

I am trying to decide between EuroDNS, invx and netim at this point (all in europe)

Any experience? Are there any with updatable records through some API that does not just give access to the whole account?

With a new model every couple of months this can only be triggered if it happens all at once.

What is the average damage caused by OpenAI/Anthropic hacks? I feel like we should aim at lowering that number, not increasing it.

What's the rule for fully autonomous cars?

Should we allow this as unsupervised at all if we are really afraid of deaths, while there are practically no states that allow 100% autonomous cars (where we are actually afraid of deaths)?

If "an independent third party registered with the Department of Commerce would periodically evaluate the lab", will this turn into an expensive certification/insurance that cuts off smaller competition (totally by mistake, I'm sure)?

I am also very very sure this is most definitely not at all going to become like product certification if EU, where there are literally 2 companies certifying various standards: they police each other and a stupid electric fan can cost you tens of thousands of euros to certify.

Really? I'm curios where.

Are you sure you are not thinking about autonomous taxis, that I only ride in, and don't actually drive?

If I let a "self-driving" car run and it smashes into things its my fault.

If OpenAI does it, it's gone rogue and it is nobody's fault.

They need to be sued, the laws are already there.

Your prompt, your responsibility.

I think this is the perfect time to start closing down platforms and enshittifying things.

Been a good time for a while. Too many scandals, too much to look after, too many economical problems.

When people don't even have the mental strength to give blowback, google blocks and constraints android, new mandatory subscriptions come up.

What are you going to do, boycott and switch brands and buy another pc? with these prices?

So we have a machine that depends on a random input, and instead of increasing checks and requiring more quality controls, we call it "going rogue" and nobody is responsible for it.

What I see from that report is that a machine was doing random stuff completely unsupervised and unchecked for more than a month. And the manufacturer did not notice even after the work was finished.

1200 agents and not one dedicated to check the progress over a month?

The problem is not sandboxing, it is quality control that comes from an accountability sink.

The way it normally works is that the user can be held liable, and then ask compensation to the manufacturer if there was some assurance or basic expectations.

The point is that the accountability sink can't be allowed to exist. It can't be a hot potato game, but it can be the fault of multiple people in the chain.

The fun part is that people seem to forget that we already have laws against "rogue ai".

The normal laws, since you are still liable for everything you own.

"Rogue AI" is solved by removing the accountability sink "it was AI, not me!"

It's your chat, your prompts, and all output that you should read and understand.

Don't know how to operate a power hammer? don't care, any problems it causes are still your fault.

what is the minimum license that I would need to do this legally, with just one or two VMs?

You just have to say that you need dedicated figures for some decisions, like you already need for GDPR or financial compliance or certifications, and ultimate responsibility is always of the ceo.

...like it already happens in europe, or at least in Italy.

This is basic law and risk management in society. Let's not pretend we have just invented corporations and don't know what to do with them yet.

3d printers are wonderful for rapid development, but are much slower than industrial serial production.

Quantity has a quality all of it own, and all that.

Ukraine is doing wonders managing tons of different producers and models, but Russia production capabilities have always been a problem.

Ukraine was in the lead with their interceptor drone. Unfortunately now russia has refined their drones to not be multiple pieces sticked together, and has added small jet engines.

The new drones are both too fast for interceptor drones and might even survive a hit thanks to the body made from a single sheet of metal.

Now the new russia drones cost about double, but intercepted rate went down from 90+% to about 55%. Math says the new drones are more than paying for themselves.

Mistral Large 4: 1050B, 49 Active

GLM-5.3: 753B, 40 Active

I was hoping for something that hinted at smaller models too, but I guess not.

Any competition is still good, especially now that the USA AI labs are starting to do regulatory capture.

> Now the question is whether MTE will be enabled by Google as part of a future OS-upgrade, to which there is no definite answer AFAIK

Still means that currently the phone has no support for MTE.

I have bought too many things on vague promises that did not happen.

It's not there now -> it's not supported. EOL.

> You can easily review 10-100x that in an hour

200-400 LOC, 10-100x = 2.000-40.000 LOC/hour for human review?

reviewer: LGTM

Just merge in main, what are you even pretending to review?

AI review should happen before human review, not instead of it.

I see frontier AI giving up and finding only nitpicking things on huge PRs, then finding logic bugs that were always there after cleanup.

Split your PR in smaller ones, both humans and AI will work better.
