persistent.oaistatic.com for OAI software. Not just a subdomain, but a whole separate domain, making it easy !

Wow, stories like this make me happy that I block all ChatGPT/Claude/Codex/etc updates by default, and only selectively update on demand. I do this just by setting a network rule that blocks their update check. (fortunately updates are still served on a different domain than regular usage)

I would love it if a grocery store, or Uber, or Amazon, made it easy to see my yearly spend. Instead them to intentionally obscure this and try to prevent you from seeing a big number.

Kept trying to use the demo, but despite giving it microphone permissions and seeing that the microphone was in use, couldn't get the demo to 'hear' me at all.

You could also say life is too short to waste time retying inferior drawstrings. If learning the knot takes 5 minutes, it seems like it could easily save you time overall.

I don't think that quote from the article is disagreeing with you at all. Like you said, we don't have a cohesive definition or test of consciousness, so research like this doesn't say anything about if this is or isn't similar to human consciousness.

I would guess Anthropic included that sentence to make it very clear they're not claiming human-like consciousness, and dampen journalists writing headlines like "Anthropic discovers their AI thinks just like humans and may be conscious".

edit: later in the article they even more explicitly agree with you

> Our experiments don't show Claude can have experiences, or feel things in the way humans do—in fact, it’s unclear whether any scientific experiment could prove this to be true or false

Carplay isn't about entertainment for me. It's just a vastly superior and convenient way to view the same map you can see on your iPhone.

how so? Is it a class system that only Raytheon employees can work on cruise missiles, not the average citizen?

(edit: not that these models are equivalent to missiles oc)

That's a different and much more boring type of cheating. The interesting part of the METR report is that the model is hacking the evaluation environment, not that some AI model provider is hardcoding answers to known evaluation questions. (which wouldn't require the model to cheat/hack)

From my cursory reading of the pre-print, it didn't seem like the entire scroll has been read? Or rather, you read everything that can be read, but part of the original have been lost? (Like columns 1-4).

VERY COOL WORK!

It's false that the 'entire Herculaneum scroll has been read'. Much of the scroll has been lost. From the preprint, columns 1-4 lost, and then margins on other columns are also lost.

I think OP meant converting handwriting to text, not identifying a person based on their handwriting style! (but that sounds quite interesting)

Those are important skills schools teach, but I'm skeptical that most learning happens at home. I strongly suspect most adults learned to read and write because of the education they received in school, not home. Especially when it comes to the high school level and learning things like how to structure an essay or more advanced math. I doubt many parents are having their 16 year olds write essays and do trigonometry problems on the weekend.

I'm surprised this is required. Agreed that's shady. I wonder what their reasoning is.

But if you don't trust it, the fix is easy: just deny the Ubiquiti cameras and controller all internet access. That way no trust is required.

I have a UNAS-Pro, which runs the same Unifi Drive software as this, and it works great for Time Machine backups. Dead simple.

I also have tons of other Ubiquiti gear, and honestly there's not a ton of synergy between the NAS and everything else. It's a great NAS though. And also, it's only a NAS. It's not an application server like a Synology NAS.

I suspect the decision to lock the models down to only US Citizens was chosen because that's the maximum the government can do under established law. They invoked ITAR to do it. No equivalent laws exists (yet) to allow the government to shut it down completely.

The goverment used the existing ITAR laws to block the 'export' of the model to anyone not a US citizen. This is quite onerous to enforce, since it applies to non-citizens physically in the US. So Anthropic shutdown access completely, as the only reasonable solution.

The key point is the government used ITAR. What's being asked for by Dario (and many others) is some entirely new legal process with more involvement and balances that blocks the model for everyone explicitly. But apparently just enforcing ITAR is good enough to do effectively the same thing.
