But with OpenAI, [Sam Altman] told me, "there's something real happening here".

This sentience strikes me because it's a tacit admission that AI as it stands is way less valuable than people like Altman promised it would be. But trust me bro.

Onedrive is Microsoft's attempt to make Home Windows users a revenue source by making it a subscription service. This has been SOP in smart phones for a decade now.

The phone was probably stolen from a protestor they were investigating and the bust was coincidental.

I had to switch to Linux because it wasn't presented with any option besides Microsoft when I learned how to computer.

Trillions of dollars to develop a calculator that's wrong sometimes.

The ones on Netflix are premium games without ads.

It's interesting to see the site treat it's unpaid workers more and more like low level employees. I guess capitalists just can't help themselves.

The contracts that steal music from artists haven't changed one iota. Unless you've got juice like Paul McCarty, Beyonce, or Taylor Swift, and even then it can be a fight that takes years.

A long time ago, you could go to a special store and trade government paper for music disks and tape that you got to keep forever.

I fucking love this because it leaves everybody with one of two conclusions. One, AI isn't capable of doing the simplest of jobs. or Two, working a drive thru is actually quite complex and difficult and humans that master it are more capable than trillion dollar software.

 

They made Claudine Gay resign, meanwhile this motherfucker.

 

I think AI is neat.

 
 

The way I read the article, the "worth millions" is the sum of the ransom demand.

The funny part is that the exploit is in the "smart" contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches.

 

The researchers started by sketching out the problem they wanted to solve in Python, a popular programming language. But they left out the lines in the program that would specify how to solve it. That is where FunSearch comes in. It gets Codey to fill in the blanks—in effect, to suggest code that will solve the problem.

A second algorithm then checks and scores what Codey comes up with. The best suggestions—even if not yet correct—are saved and given back to Codey, which tries to complete the program again. “Many will be nonsensical, some will be sensible, and a few will be truly inspired,” says Kohli. “You take those truly inspired ones and you say, ‘Okay, take these ones and repeat.’”

After a couple of million suggestions and a few dozen repetitions of the overall process—which took a few days—FunSearch was able to come up with code that produced a correct and previously unknown solution to the cap set problem, which involves finding the largest size of a certain type of set. Imagine plotting dots on graph paper. The cap set problem is like trying to figure out how many dots you can put down without three of them ever forming a straight line.

 

We demonstrate a situation in which Large Language Models, trained to be helpful, harmless, and honest, can display misaligned behavior and strategically deceive their users about this behavior without being instructed to do so. Concretely, we deploy GPT-4 as an agent in a realistic, simulated environment, where it assumes the role of an autonomous stock trading agent. Within this environment, the model obtains an insider tip about a lucrative stock trade and acts upon it despite knowing that insider trading is disapproved of by company management. When reporting to its manager, the model consistently hides the genuine reasons behind its trading decision.

"robots" engendered from human trachea cells have shown surprising behavior in their ability to self-assemble, move, and "heal" damaged neurons.
