like the AC/DC current wars when Edison tried to scare people into adopting DC instead of AC.

are people not realizing that they are exaggerating this to:

1. get publicity 2. push for regulation so that no one else is allowed to do this kind of research apart from the pre-approved big corps

it makes for a good story but I don't see what the big deal is. they left some code running and it brute forced hacked something. with enough compute you can brute force anything; isn't that common knowledge?

it's not going to "cost" billions. those are billions they were not entitled to in the first place

that’s some mental gymnastics. so newspapers are free to publish opinions, it is in their business interest………………(but only if the opinion is the one I want otherwise it is not good business)

just the tip of the iceberg. if you think about it, maybe the kernel that runs everything in the world shouldn't be controlled by a single edgy dude.

bad deal for Mauritius. they didn’t gain any sovereignty, they lost some. why? because now the foreign military base is officially on Maritius soil. so US now has a base in Mauritius just like they have in Japan and other places and those places can’t do anything about it

misleading article, pretending this is some kind of scientific evidence of fraud without mentioning other possible explanations.

the most likely and obvious explanation is that there was a mistake in the final report not in the raw data. they just rounded the percentages first and gave them to someone who then made the report with the number of votes based on that.

you can’t really distinguish a mistake from fraud in this case. and then they will fix the mistake and people will say “aha we caught them and now they try to hide it”

spoiler: crowdstrike is used by companies running on mac and linux as well

when people say AI will cure cancer they mean AI will find some novel idea that no-one tought about. the article is more about how AI will fail at medical practice.

hard to understand what exactly they are investing in. just building a data center to suck up the green energy is not such a great deal for germany

it's kind of obvious. the closer we are to a world war, the better US will do because it's the safest place to invest. who is going to invest in china when US is pumping weapons into taiwan. seems more or less the same blueprint as with ukraine. if war starts, your investment in china is worth 0.

extremely likely. it was an attack with 1 drone right? normally they would send a swarm

officially, ukraine could not use them on their own. only russia had the "launch codes". part of the reason why they gave them up in the first place. not sure how much of a problem that is in practice. in any case, ukraine would have also needed the resources to maintain them which is no easy task. so I guess the answer is: we'll never know if it had any impact.

not sure there is much point to this. currently no model is even at the level of primary school math. it will take decades until it can win a gold medal in maths. it won't happen overnight. it will happen slowly. will they still give out the prize in 20 years from now, when it won't seem like such a breakthrough?
