I hope there’s lots of innocent bystanders streaming it… so we can all think about how to do better in the future.

Are they going to build a bunch of data centers and half sit unused or underutilized?

I’ve been surprised how many people don’t realize were headed for this.

Most of these are going to be urban waste mold centers, where kids go explore and sometimes get hurt.

Edit: But a few will turn into inaccessible poorly placed paintball arenas or bowling alleys. So that’s nice, I guess.

Edit 2: I’m sarcastic, but I’m also a hypocrite. Feel free to quote me on how this was all a bad idea, while I play paintball.

The company’s shares plunged by 8% the day after the Luce was unveiled.

Lol. They let an iPhone designer design a Ferrari, and it really shows.

Whoever designed that smooth as a booger look clearly didn’t have a poster with Ferrari on it, in their room, as a kid.

I would sell their stock too, if I had any.

Balena Etcher has a .deb file on their GitHub releases.

Should be able to just download and double click it, on Debian.

I agree that the concerns listed there are smells, and I wasn’t aware of some of the options listed there.

Thank you for sharing this!

Holy cow. I’m stealing that. The reverse Turing test is whether we humans have the brains not to turn everything over to untrusted AI. Lol.

More and more things that could just be bash scripts are being added as stupid Claude.md scripts.

But they can pay an ongoing subscription cost for the Claude script, and it may sometimes hallucinate.

The bash script would be free forever and keep working unchanged for decades.

It’s too soon to know which approach is the right way. (I nearly died of sarcasm, there.)

Anyway, I agree. There may not be enough popcorn for all of this!

I believe open-source software will continue to provide a refuge for artists.

Yes. My work is open source, and pretty unchanged. We get some AI pull requests now that take longer to review than doing the work ourselves.

I think a key difference is that there was never any tolerance for bullshit in my team’s code base.

We don’t have thousands of points of boilerplate, or a big pile of “not invented here” crap code.

So we don’t have somewhere for the AI to really shine.

The company, however, is poised to resume the data tracking program once the issue is settled.

Yep. Sounds like Meta.

Yes. It’s getting to where con-artists and theives just can’t be trusted, anymore.

Same here. I’m just going back to cash.

All of this “artificial intelligence security” just gets in the way of basic legal transactions, but all the yes men running it are too spineless to tell their bosses and shareholders how much money they’re losing.

Yes. I would be quite surprised if that detail were present, since these folks seem to just want another way to track people and sell a higher quality profile.

Microslop

For science!

Edit: Seems to have calmed down and usual vote averages have prevailed. Have to try again another time.

Yes! lol.

And wait until the confirmation study of the water in the kitchen sink comes back! Initial findings strongly imply it may be wet!

The moment AGI is achieved it’s going to be a glorious destruction of society.

Specifically, if ultra affordable AGI that also happens to be acceptably reliable.

Which is certainly a pipe dream, today. It might or might not ever get any more possible.

To be economically viable, AGI needs to cost less than the people it supposedly replaces. Sure, we can all think of a couple of over-priced Word document slingers.

But ask someone who wanted to buy a conveyor belt or a barcode scanner for a factory in an emerging market…until the technology costs dramatically less than local seasoned professionals, the technology just doesn’t get bought.

Now, I do imagine there’s a few specific use cases that billionaires are very interested in replacing humans - because humans as morally empty and worthless as Epstein and Thompson (rest in piss) may actually be hard to find.

Or are investors really this patient and resilient when it comes to hollow hype?

Yes. They’re the salt of the Earth - you know - morons.

Or Google thinks all the other illegal crap they routinely get away with is a leading sign that they will also get away with becoming a monopoly…

You might not know, but you can say “crap” on the internet.

Nice!

Well, I’ll keep practicing.

Sure, it’s a wrong answer machine, but sometimes it’s right, and it’s almost always fast!

Can be, but probably won’t be.:(
