Are you qualified to judge in all those areas? I too look at websites Claude builds in amazement but I'm sure that's a lot of crap underneath.

> Last week, one of our infrastructure providers reported unauthorized access involving third-party server management software. One of our CDN nodes, located in Armenia, was hosted on a server supplied by this provider

Are they talking about physical security? Someone grabbed the server, etc?

Colocation providers usually don't care about security beyond that, or has that changed?

They explain why you should refrain from posting about politics here, unless there's an angle that makes it interesting for the HN crowd.

LLMs will miss a lot of edge cases. This is critical for a library that parses PDFs. Ask it to review the code for issues and by the 20th time you ask, it still will find issues. How's that faster (or safer)?

I use AI heavily but it's not this omnipresent deity that knows everything at all times.

It's high-risk in that it's proven to not work anymore. Scale isn't a differentiator or won't be in the short term.

Meanwhile, everyone else is working on making these models more useful through a ton of ecosystem around them.

I don't see how the frontier labs will have any control over that to deliver on what investors expect. As mentioned in another post here, if they could, they would already be spawning hundreds of companies to diversify their reach but they aren't, because this era of AI is awesome but still doesn't allow a few individuals to replace millions of others that easily (or efficiently).

Their own system cards say it's not.

This cyber apocalypse narrative is what they tell government and markets.

Useful new questions and useful new or novel directions? What's the signal-to-noise ration there?

I think AI is going to improve a lot of things but people thinking the future is on auto-pilot now are delusional.

Public-funded research is still a thing though.

Do you mean without proofs as a what assigns value to the thesis? I think AI doesn't make them optional at all.
