Musk wants to own and control more of the AI ecosystem, and step by step, the holy grail could be combining SpaceX and Tesla in some way to give the connected tissue between both disruptive tech stalwarts looking to lead the AI revolution

The phrase “In some way” shows that there is no actual plan, it’s just a bunch of grifters trying to prop up the IPO yet again. Shameful.

It is. We have cringy edgelords in charge of our military right now.

Or when SpaceX bought Grok?

It lets me focus on the software architecture, not the minutiae. It feels exactly like when I ran a team of brand new interns. They require a lot of hand holding but with the right direction they get good at their jobs very fast.

When old memory of ordering stuff is out of the context window, she completely forgets what she has ordered in the past

Look I agree that AI is probably a terrible business manager… but this is irresponsible design on the researcher’s part. AI breaks past the context window with tool calling. If it doesn’t have a list inventory tool, it will obviously fail to do this correctly.

These techniques are built into virtually every coding harness today, if you’re not using them for a business harness, that’s negligent.

Ah, that’s what I was missing, and the article didn’t seem to mention at all. If you’re being paid by a foreign government while being paid by the domestic government that is a conflict of interest.

pleaded guilty to bribery

Ah yeah upon rereading again this is the phrase I missed.

So is it being paid by Beijing then? If so that makes perfect sense.

Yes, I’m aware. Does posting news articles really count as “acting as a foreign agent” though? It’s not like she was exfiltrating national secrets.

I’m sorry, what did she do that is considered illegal? Is that not free speech?

Unless the “propaganda” was making death threats, there’s nothing illegal about intentionally spreading foreign propaganda, is there?

Barocalorics is a really important field right now. I don’t actually think this category of tech is bullshit based on the core research I’ve been following.

Maybe this particular startup is, but the field is actually ready for a breakthrough. We need startups to take the risk of doing an initial manufacturing run or nothing will ever happen.

I think they must be pushing back on the term “extortion” in the title, when it’s really “harassment“. I don’t think they implied that it’s fine, just that the title was not representative of the actual story.

Okay, but who’s to say your whole body isn’t just reactions? Unless you define what consciousness is, it’s an ambiguous statement.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you, but this is exactly the problem. People keep making broad claims without first agreeing on a testable definition of consciousness.

Exactly, and I also think that people confuse consciousness and intelligence. A creature can definitely be conscious even with a simple (or possibly no) mind.

In my experience, the majority of philosophers trying to define consciousness do it with pseudoscientific spiritualism. There seems to be an irresistible urge to distinguish humans as special, as if we would suddenly disappear by acknowledging we’re just funny thinky animals.

There’s such a debate over whether or not cells in a dish have consciousness, and whether or not pure silicon representations of those cells would also have consciousness.

So very little effort goes into defining what consciousness is, because humans are scared to find that there are really only two likely possibilities: almost everything is conscious, or nothing (including us) is.

Oh no, how will I ever download Ubuntu oh wait I’ll just use the torrent like always

Who fucking cares if Ubuntu’s website is down?

Oh for sure, I could’ve spent an hour dissecting all the AI flags in that post.

Yikes, this whole post feels AI generated. Lots of LLMisms in every paragraph.

• No disk writes. No races. No KASLR bypass needed. Works reliably across Ubuntu, RHEL, Amazon Linux, SUSE — basically every major distribution built since 2017.

• It’s not flashy memory corruption. It’s elegant. It’s reliable.

• No C2 callbacks needed. No noisy exfiltration during the blackout. Just quiet persistence and lateral movement inside the isolated network.

It’s not just Lemmy. The whole world is being flooded by ever increasing quantities of shit, and filtering through it efficiently is decreasingly easy.

They have attention to detail, just not the right details. It’s super easy for them to get lost in a never ending train of tangents.
