Research on fake news & elections.

As a forensic examiner it feels like some criminals both openly flaunt their crimes but are also annoyed when those crimes get brought up again from the archives. They're both above the law and extremely scared of it at the same time.

If you try to bury the terms "Greenland" and "Canada" but instead highlight your secret pseudonym used in 80s York real estate, daddy's east coast shipping operation and the 133784883 vanity social security number, you failed.

I agree with your point but it's incredibly naive to identify "the MBAs" as scapegoat for this problem.

We're living in times where an evangelical POTUS dislikes the pope, oligarchs talk about the "antichrist", wars are started with reference to "armageddon" [1] to distract from old money power brokers such as Epstein who has esotheric Kaballah symbols on his office walls [2 @14min42sec].

The authoritarians are concluding the democratic experiment because they can't hide their heritage any longer. All hail the King.

Your statement is false. Ronaldo's 3-game-ban was reduced to the 1-game-ban minimum.

In the current case it is about reducing the 1-game-ban minimum to an unprecedented zero game ban.

That's a step into the right direction. I can only imagine how much pain has been inflicted with metadata.

Does anybody have a direct link about the archive they are talking about? I'm having trouble navigating the site tbh.

It's a manual, non-standardized process without a standardized output. Image quality depends both on user skills (how deeply they press the sensor on the skin) and the machine they have. Unlike CT/MRI the examination results cannot be easily shared and compared between patients for studies.

Claude will do everything to retain you as a user, because that's one of their most important metrics.

It sets dangerous precedent

Edit: guys, it was a joke! /s

Thanks for the insight, it sounds really good and I hope they can deliver it as promised.

Hey, just wanted to note that I appreciate your thoughtful answer and didn't downvote it.

Oxide sounds really good on paper but for the export version there will most likely be some foot angles, and I can't see many EU companies taking this leap of faith.

Downvotes every time this topic comes up because Epstein was deeply ingrained into the VC world.

At this point why can't someone produce a fridge or container-sized AI appliance based on legacy chips (12nm)? I imagine this would cover 80% of corporate use cases where you need to "google-in-a-box" functionality.

The state-of-the-art nanometer are impossible to achieve but if you have infinite solar energy during business hours does it really matter? Every company has a parking spot so this ASIC-like appliance could be as big as a shipping container.

If it could just run recent open models for a handful of users it would be such a nobrainer to buy.

Because they have the money and the national security clearances to do whatever they want.

I was wondering how they made the leap between these topics :P

So basically it stood out like a sore thumb and was a random, disconnected sentence with a link inbetween the output you have actually asked for?

AI is google-in-a-box, and there will be dedicated hardware to run it locally like there was with the crypto ASICs.

I feel the only ones losing are the AI startups and Google. This is why they're trying to morph into a social-media like experience of simulated human interaction that can monetize a certain demographic of vulnerable people.

Of course, but will the AI startups with their SaaS business model survive?

Spot on. From an US outsider's perspective there's so much ridiculous stuff going on that you feel like you're watching an episode of "bum fights". I don't think US knowledge workers alone can carry this bubble.
