Average professional politician is a psychopath fighting for power no matter what.

At least these guys might be honest about their hubris and arrogance and won't smile to you while slaughtering your future or robbing your family.

Well, nobody said that the true anarchy would be easy. No government actually wants to approve the original spirit of crypto, everything they allow is either a toy or a scam they can take advantage of.

Then people get into shitty casino tokens that are widely available because the state doesn't care about a little gambling and got surprised that they are in the casino in the first place.

Why? BTC is pretty stable longterm and nobody is going to touch your cold wallet. Anything that has an owner or legal entity is not decentralized, subject to either rug pull or censorship and shouldn't be touched, sounds very easy.

Everything that promises you any return is a scam in crypto, simple as that.

> great amazing decentralized censorship-free drop in replacement

It's not and never supposed to be and everybody who uses it in any significant amount knows that. Don't mistake a cryptotoken with a cryptocurrency.

I'm sure these gentlemen will figure it out.

Antrophic works with an ex-deputy of the CIA (David S. Cohen). OpenAI has an ex-director of the NSA (Paul Nakasone) in the board. Literally.

People regularly write here that nobody really knows how LLM weights are working really, we only know how to achieve that and run inference. Isn't that true?

I see it this way in layman sense:

- you feed the model with data;

- you run the query;

- you activate a network and it gives you most probable token, refeeds it back and generates next and so on;

- nobody knows exactly why and how this next token comes and can tell strictly which input data gives which output data without running the exact query with 0 temperature.

So yes, it's not an exact copy, but you also can't say that a particular repo is not reflected anyhow. And I mean that the weights are reflected by the particular logic, not a syntax.

Otherwise why all the hassle if we can just feed the language reference doc to 100mb model and it should be able to produce everything just fine if only the syntax connections are needed and everything else is freshly derivated and not based on the actual implementations.

You can also consider that open source version of RustPython existed 6 years ago and probably in all LLMs dataset

The diff seems to remove proxying of videos and other media and leaking client IP to twitter. Why?

If you are not a citizen, but an immigrant, it could be very true in some parts of the world.

I have a living permit and legal status in the country I live in, but only few banks open accounts to people like me, most just deny anyone but citizens of the country.

The ones that open all work in GrapheneOS though, so not big deal for me in my particular case.

> Companies accepted that risk because the pace from CVE -> exploitation was big enough, but now with AI, exploitation at scale is easier than ever.

So that's what I'm saying, the business incentives are changed, there is no more room for the ignorance of the security. You either maintain it or you are out of business. Brutal period, but now everybody is forced to update, fix and improve the isolation because every script-kiddy can deploy a 0day every week. That helps to fix things against actually dangerous actors who had resources for 0days before the AI boom and used this negligence to harm people worldwide.

The security debt is temporal and going to decline because old software is going to be patched or thrown away and new one is going to be security-scanned and tested.

I'm very positive about the change. If we don't look at it purely technical, vermin from ransomware gangs and Russian/Israeli/USA spy agencies already knew a subset of these things. That shows how vulnerable we were, actually. What's a stupid bug for one, might be life and death question for another. Before, from business side of things, there was no urgency to maintain proper security and fix things, now we have a more equalized grounds and everyone has to invest both in security assessment, sandboxing/better isolation on system level and formal verification.

That will literally improve small countries and individual sovereignty against the spies and improve the humanity in the long term.

While it's a pity for many maintainers during the transition, after some time we will have much better world where you can trust your computer regardless of who you are.

I guess the issue is that they are ordered to block it for all users, not only those particular users who picked some particular lists.

And nobody would pick a piracy list, why'd you do it as a user.
