This article seems to make good points about how useless and invasive Chat Control 1.0 is, but then posits Chat Control 2.0 as the answer. Is the latter not also terrible for privacy, demanding backdoors in all encrypted chat tech?

Prediction markets are just the new ICO, NFT, SPAC etc scam/gambling(scambling?).

Play if you want, and call yourself a genius if you win, but only with money you can afford to lose.

Kasparov seems to show that there is room for more than moves in a great chess mind.

Right. They really should wait until _after_ the regulatory capture bit is locked in to mess with users.

This is a wonderful collection. Portions of this, especially subscription bits, apply to SaaS and AI as it is currently served. Maybe now that B2B relationships have similar risks, more lobbying pressure will come on the side of permanent access to the things we buy.

There may be all sorts of stable use case models that this could be interesting for. Imagine permanent voice translation circuits at a tiny fraction of the current price, glasses that subtitle the world with long battery life.

Hermes can also do this when you connect it to Slack, and having Hermes in slack where multiple teammates can share a context window is indeed nice.

This article gave me an amusing thought: the only jobs with a high enough salary to be profitably replaced by AI might be software engineers.

This could use a bit more "why".

Shortcomings of Parquet are mentioned as overcome by this, which ones? Certainly not wide tool support...

Why should one leave Parquet or ORC for this structure?

Also great and ad-free: https://cluesbysam.com/

My daughter and I play it most nights, and she has been developing her deductive reasoning quickly enough that she occasionally sees the next move first now.

Yes this is how freedoms are restored. Next we need a story of flock tracking a reporter or political figure. Put that 4th amendment into sharp focus.

My compiler writing skills atrophied with the advent of high-level languages, but in exchange I got more done. There is still a very well paid market for compiler writers, but the fact that not everyone needs to be one has made the world richer overall.

Grok, because the Claude bot is more likely to try to control me or act "for my own good".

This reads pretty one-sided.

The government is full of stupidity and this is indeed a big moment, but Anthropic has been begging for this outcome in their public messaging. If their fear-mongering was genuine, then great, they got their pause. If not, then what exactly did they want to happen?

I think it's mainly because the difference in models at the frontier isn't "response to prompt X", but rather "coherence with 500K tokens of context and instructions in play"

We do understand why they did it, and the reason is dark and cynical.

Especially if your name has any machine learning terms in it.

Ah "Mr. Monty Carlo", it says here that you have a UTI, we'll get those kidneys removed ASAP so that won't happen again.

Somewhere I read that malware is already starting to use nuclear and biological and cybersecurity terms in the code to trick Fable into shutting down. Even if this is just a hypothetical attack vector so far, it seems likely to work.
