Nah. Stuff like this can make crypto crash. People get cold feet. Not good for the price.

This is fraud. Unknowing to its customers a company is running a daemon that wastes a commodity it sells to said customer.

It IS going slow though. The rest of the economy will be slowly adapting it, just like they have slowly adapting other computer systems before. There simply is no use for frontier models in the real economy as of now. For the economy it's just another cost factor, a substantial one if they try to actually build something with it, that has no real benefits that results in increased productivity and revenue making. So why should anyone except AI companies adapt frontier models? They have no reason to. And it will be that way for many years to come.

It's always bout the monies. Always. And about the evil EU. EU is only good as long as it gives subsidiary monies, but we don't mention that. Never. We only take and moan.

The USA is a technofascist state dismantling itself and every democratic institution that stands against the coming technocracy.

Reminds me of Idiocracy. Are we idiots yet? This is so that AI agents can "guide" a human, directing the meat bot more easily. Telling the meat bot where to click and what to do. The entire "what to think" step isn't even necessary when there is no thought. Because thoughts and decisions are annoying. It's astonishing how much people are already "algorithmically" steered so they don't have to turn on their rational thinking.

That's old news. It was known that Palantir was responsible for the murder of the school girls. What's new is that the Pentagon finally admits to it now that it's out of the focus of the news cycle. A very typical strategic disclosure.

Not a surprise, so do financial advisors: garbage in = garbage out.

This sounds like something from a sci-fi horror movie. "Snorting charged nanoparticles" that can then be manipulated by magnetic fields sounds more like a weapon or life-long disability than anything I'd want to be done to me willingly.

But you're not working for Flock, are you? We could go on much further until we reach the what Popper called the Tolerance Paradox: "If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them."

The point is that total surveillance is like the destruction of tolerance or in thie case privacy, and it makes watching the watchmen impossible. There's a point of no return and before that one is reached resistance IS allowed or else you lose everything.
