There was a story about them deleting accounts with games, followed by articles saying it was only for accounts with no games.

So it was a non-story back then as well?

People going mad about this and it’s complete non-issue.

In that they are present at all.

They’ll be out in six months to a year and since it takes them forever to achieve anything I wouldn’t worry.

If you’ve got to have a right wing fascist government hope for an incompetent one.

There is also .io for the Indian Ocean territories. They seem to be fine with it. It is interesting they have problem with it. I wonder what the actual motivation is, because it can’t be due to a lack of viable domain for businesses.

Oh, they are authoritarian enough. They just aren’t powerful enough.

Want to know what it looks like to go power crazy with no power, then go look at the Tories.

You need to install it?

It won’t carry over because it’s not a local play app but you should be able to install it the same way you did on your old phone.

Yeah I’m not sure how much of a danger long-term this actually represents. Sure, there may be more sophisticated AI attacks, but there’s also going to be more sophisticated AI defenses.

I don’t think it’ll be a new AI I think it’ll just be using chat GPT and then some prompts that cause it to be jailbroken.

Essentially you could probably get chat GPT to do this without having to go to this service it’s just they’re keeping whatever prompts they’re using secret.

I don’t know this for sure but it’s just very unlikely that they’ve gone to the expensive buying a bunch of GPUs to build an AI.

Doesn’t sound all that useful to have an answer with knowing the question.

Computer: Yes but only after 2:30pm. And on Tuesday, obviously.

Me: Er?

So? Buy them from some Chinese third party manufacturer.

Suction cups count as specialist tools. They are tools explicitly for removing the screen of a smartphone.

Commercially standard means things like screwdrivers that can be used for any number of circumstances. Also pretty much every single repair guide involves a hair dryer so I’m not sure what phone you’re talking about.

They don’t know what the word means. They honestly seem to think that the word ironic means slightly funny.

Cities, you just said keyword there cities, you can do it in cities because people want to live in cities. They don’t want to live on the outskirts. Most of these offices are not in the city centre because the city centre is a really expensive place to have an office, only massive corporations are based there.

The vast majority of office space is in low rent districts on the periphery of cities. Because no one lives there there’s no shops, no leisure centres, no schools, no parks or other green spaces. You can’t just convert every building into a housing unit without considering the surrounding environment.

It would be infinitely cheaper to just build homes where you actually want them, than to try and convert a building that was never designed for the task.

I know it’s not trendy or hip or exciting to say that, but when you look at the economics it just doesn’t make sense outside of some very limited circumstances.

Facebook messages being used to arrest women for abortions.

That’s a misrepresentation of what happened. The police already suspected her, and so they requested the information from Facebook. Facebook didn’t voluntarily supply a bunch of data to the police for no reason, and then the police didn’t comb through all the data to find this one crime that they otherwise didn’t know about.

What is being suggested with the automatic cars is that the police are actively monitoring the surveillance footage looking for criminal activity. They definitely won’t be doing that. It’s way to much like work.

They can be, but do you want them to be. Most are not in convenient places.

We can roughly estimate the level of intelligence of an entity by counting the number of neurons it has in its brain. Equally we can count the number of processors that AI requires, and use that to get an estimate on its intelligence.

Obviously this is an incredibly inaccurate method, possibly out by an order of magnitude but it’s a good rough ballpark estimate, and sometimes that’s enough.

A true AI (AGI) would need a lot more processes than GPT4 currently has access to, so we can be very sure that while it may be a very intelligent system it isn’t self aware. Once an AI is given the necessary number of processes I don’t think they’re going to be able to fudge with it like they are with these models.

Also We'te, which I believe is a Klingon name.

Yeah but a business park or industrial estate is no place you want to live, so it’s not like thoss offices can be converted.

I suppose the argument is, don’t post content which you are not prepared to take responsibility for. Which is the case with any content posted on social media, regardless of who, or what, generated it.

If I get chatGPT to make inflammatory comments, I’m still responsible for those comments if I choose to post them publicly. I can hardly stand behind the fig leaf of “oh I don’t believe those things only the AI believes those things”. It was still me that chose post the content publicly. Anyway the law does not recognise artificial intelligence systems as having independent agency, so the responsibility is still on the operator.
