You seriously overestimate the average user. There is a reason why 123456 is still a common password. I would not expect a grandma to know how to put a key on her phone and use it reliably.

And my main argument is that corporations can do better. We should not put the burden on the common folks when the ones who are in the positions to do something are not pulling their weight. Sure, this will reduce their profit, and probably their share prices, and as a result, dev's compensation. Maybe that is the hardest part to argue through.

The cost of healthcare is unlikely due to data management cost. That is almost an absurd comment.

The cost to develop a drug is in the billions. Manufacturing costs are in the tens to hundreds of millions. Locking down some server and implement better security would be a drop in a bucket.

And even if it was more expensive, the biggest pharma megacorps are a fraction of the size of the like of tech megacorps. If the chumps down the street can do it as a side job, why can't the big boys whose entire business is supposedly about data and software can't do better?

Maybe we can start with heavy penalties for whoever responsible for these breaches? The users are irresponsible, but at the higher levels, the company can afford to tighten access and guard their data better.

Would these companies leak their own business critical documents? No. So why can't they be forced to treat sensitive customer's data the same way?

Those on HN are considered extremely tech-savvy and security aware and yet we are still concerned about our accounts getting compromised like this. What can a random user like our moms or siblings do? They won't even notice these kind of attack.

It is such a pathetic state of affair where massive leaks like these are expected. I contend this is a result of lax regulation and lack of consequences. In healthcare, patient data are locked down so hard even people who need to work with them have problems getting to them. It is because of regulations. Everything is traceable, recorded, and maintained to the strictest standards possible. It costs a huge amount of money but as a result, we don't see many serious breaches.

Compared it to fintech and regular tech services, these guys make fuckton of profits and yet suffer almost no regulations. What a joke.

You too? I got the same. But then again, my account is constantly under attack anyway. At least previously they were smart enough to not trigger 2FA. Now even the incompetents are trying.

To be honest, if the power and internet go out, not much would be left, including meat-based technologies such as elbow grease. Can't power the amount of bloodsacks we have with enough biofuels once the electricity goes down and supply chains are disrupted.

Massive scaling down would be required, and we would need to "liquidate" a lot of bloodsacks if the loss of power and internet is permanent.

Turn out the ancient wisdom of drinking and bathing in the blood of virgins had some truth to it...

Seriously though, I don't know how effective this is. What they did appeared to be flooding the tissue with "young blood" and observe the changes in epigenetics markers. These markers are basically conditional if/else depending on the environment so maybe there is something in the plasma that cause them to change. One thing that would be interesting to test is how fast for the tissues to switch back to the "old" forms once the plasma treatment stops.

I think sometimes it is good to zoom out a little bit and look at things on a higher level. The LLMs are not an organic creature. It doesn't in any shape or way relate to a human being except the knowledge it was trained on. A bacteria shares over 50% of its genetic sequences with a human and we don't see it as anything more than a glorified bionic automaton. An LLM shares 0% with us. In fact its "genetic sequence" is coded on a completely different physics altogether. It is unreasonable to expect it to understand or think the same way an organic creature do.

But the outcome of its action is irrefutable. It plays and does things better better than us. That is all we need to evaluate it on. I know that the topic is about "sentience" but my point is we are evaluating a complete alien being using human's standards. Of course we will see that it is lacking. It isn't human.

Ok here it is. An LLM with physical senses. They mentioned sense of touch and I think that is a big deal. You can teach me all you want about a new color with all the text description available and it would be worse than just show me that new color.

In the same way, letting an AI actually touch and interact with the world would do wonders in grounding it and making sure it understand concepts beyond just the words or the bytes it was fed during training. GPT4 can already understand images and text, it should not be long until it takes care of videos and we can say AI has vision. This robot from toyota would have touch. We need hearing and smelling and then maybe we will get something resembling a true AGI.

It is their pride, their nation's representative to the global audience. When people speak of Nintendo, they implicitly acknowledge Japan as a global player in the entertainment industry. It is a source of patriotism and advertisement.

In a way, everyone know of the US because everyone needs Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc. When you talk about Huawei, you acknowledge China as a powerhouse in phone and tech. When you mention TSMC, you have to remember about Taiwan. etc.

The key is they should also entertain and validate your self-worth.

A relationship should be of give and take. You are expected to put effort into maintaining it but the same thing is asked of your partner. Sometimes, one of you will forget or too busy and neglect it. A good couple will accept that and be positive by still putting in their due for some time while the other should notice it and try to fix their issue. A bad relationship, prone to breakup, will have one of the two demanding or questioning why the other is not showering me with love anymore while doing nothing to deserve that love.

Wonder how likely is it that this is because of AI taking over the jobs. Sifting through resumes, contacting candidates, schedule some interviews, connect the hiring manager to the candidate, even getting some extra information from the candidate via email or phone calls are all things an LLM can efficiently do. They may actually do it even better than a regular human since they might "know" more about the role and the technical requirements than an average HR clerk...

Um, the Mate60 is ok and all but compared to Apple tech, it is years behind. Apple is undisputedly the best phone on the market right now and the Mate60 isn't anywhere close to a contender. I don't understand why all the worry.

China is banning Apple for the government officials. They aren't banning Apple from selling in China. And even when Huawei still had access to US tech, their phones were not a serious threat to iPhone. Apple's ecosystem force its user to basically stay within Apple. Moving out is a really painful process. Not to mention we still don't know how much Huawei can scale this. I doubt they have the capacity of TSMC even on the 7nm

You know, the more I read about these things, the more I realize we are literally getting close to "spells" technology.

This is literally an entire paper about constructing a specific incantation to create an effect. Neither the author nor the LLM maker can completely deconstruct and trace every steps of the process from the input to the output. They only know how to chant a litany, add a request, chant another litany, then look at the output and hope they didn't summon Satan.
