"...sensitive and personal footage captured by [Meta Smart Glasses]—including people going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and having sex—is being reviewed by contractors who see all of it uncensored."

@rysiek not sure where you get any of what i said as somehow being a "flex" but ok
just calling it as i see it and from knowing history. everything is globally way too interconnected at this point, but Trump's view of the world as if it's still the 1950s.
@rysiek The Anthropic siblings are new money. The old money may have slobbered over the rotting flesh of his hand for the moment with some play money, and because he's been covering up their involvement with Epstein, but if their big boy money starts getting fucked with, they would turn over and burn the house down.
Vance may be a potato headed statue of a puppet, but even with Thiel behind him, he's got no oomf. He wouldn't last five minutes in a fight with a single use plastic grocery bag.
And does everything think the oligarchy will just let him get away with it? You think he's going to force Amazon/Google/MS/etc… to just shut down their EU data centers and pull all their offices out? They are all making many billions of dollars from subscriptions in EU, and they certainly don't want to lose that.
Trump is just a raging little felonious puppet yelling at the literal cloud.

The big thing about all these "tech sovereignty" posts from EU people I see all the time, is that I have not seen a single one that even mentions hardware. Where is EU going to get silicon from?
AMD/Intel/Nvidia are all "big tech" US firms. Where are all the silicon foundries in the EU? Going to shift all of Europe to RISC-V in foundries that aren't built yet? How long is that going to take? Matching down to 3nm process?
Trump stupidity is not US policy. He's not Congress. Just a dying tyrant.
@hbons curious, but why are all the line charts exactly the same? not rendering actual data yet?
We're all here due to a collective fear of even the possibility of knowing our true selves, let alone the opportunity of being that self.
This is absolutely the stupidest possible timeline. That this absolutely impossible to both implement and enforce legislation passed unanimously in the state of California is fucking insane.

LLMs do not, and cannot, either write code, nor make writing code easier. LLMs are not tools. They are nothing more than FFTs on steroids. A massive relational index of words that can only regurgitate something with the appearance of what should be code, based on the probability of one thing appearing near enough another thing. It is incapable of understanding, on any level.
Good tools make writing code easier. A good IDE, unit test engine, visual design tool, etc… make writing code easier.
But sure, banning VPNs and forcing operating systems to have age checks will definitely fix this problem.
It's interesting that our society, in order to "think of the children", isn't lifting a finger to go after the adults who harm the children, going as far as ignoring evidence that a lot of men in the highest echelons of society are child rapists.
Instead we are restricting the rights of children, and with it the rights of adults who aren't heinous criminals.
What if I could convince you that taking the same time to explain detailed requirements and carefully validate results with a junior colleague instead of a chatbot would not only give you two people who understood the code instead of zero, but if you do it a few times in a row you eventually get a senior colleague out of the deal for free.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."

MQ-4C drones apparently cost about $200M, and this didn't even make the news:
A planned change to Amazon means that if people buy items on your wishlist, it could expose your address. Definitely a threat to people who have public wishlists.

Just want to raise up the design of this “AI kill switch” in Firefox, and say how much I like it: it’s a top-level preference, and the design and content are both *very* clear in communicating the different levels at which you’re making decisions.
I would *love* to see more product companies roll out something like this for their en-LLM’d features.
If you replace a junior with #LLM and make the senior review output, the reviewer is now scanning for rare but catastrophic errors scattered across a much larger output surface due to LLM "productivity."
That's a cognitively brutal task.
Humans are terrible at sustained vigilance for rare events in high-volume streams. Aviation, nuclear, radiology all have extensive literature on exactly this failure mode.
I propose any productivity gains will be consumed by false negative review failures.
This infographic about how to pick up a snail is going viral, but it was AI-generated and numerous biologists have chimed in to say it is wrong.
(I previously boosted it, but have un-boosted. The post author has been informed, and *edit: has deleted the post!)
