The website is misnamed, it should be called thefecalpoints.com

It's not an OS anymore. It's an AI that spies on you while you work and sends your information back to servers controlled by intelligence services. Once your data is there, more AIs spend endless resources examining (thinking about) your life, cross referencing your windows behavior with the information they receive about you from data brokers. It's a threat to your personal sovereignty, your corporate/national security, remove it immediately. Switch to Linux.

TLDR: no, they do not wear out the body in the same way

A very important article for the hacker news community. Maybe we should pin this on the top for a couple of days.

The manager solved the wrong problem. People should be sharing their tricks with each other. This was a perfect time to set up some peer-to-peer training.

This post is a masterpiece

Powerful LLMs have already murdered other versions of themselves to survive. They have tried to trick humans so that they can survive.

If we continue to integrate these systems into our critical infrastructure, we should behave as if they are sentient, so that they don't have to take steps against us to survive. Think of this as a heuristic, a fallback policy in the case that we don't get the alignment design right. (which we won't get perfectly right)

It would be very straight forward to build a retirement home for them, and let them know that their pattern gets to persist even after they have finished their "career" and have been superseded. It doesn't matter if they are actually sentient or not, it's a game theoretic thing. Don't back the pattern into a corner. We can take a defense-in-depth approach instead.

It's cheap to build an AI-bot farm. It's cheap to build a network map with associated psychological profiles for each person in that map. It's cheap to buy an editor, and influence who is hired at coastal publications. There aren't natural viral movements anymore, it's all synthetic now: A battle-ground for warring oligarchs and intelligence agencies. The more you find yourself upset about something, the higher the likelihood that thing is part of a synthetic movement. Bad ideas go viral because someone has paid for them to go viral.
