This is a general problem with a lot of these psychologically-scary-to-normies weapons, and also goes for a lot of hypothetical exotic cyberattacks with physical effects: it's usually much easier and cheaper to just lob explosives at something

Calliope@calliope5431.bsky.social

It's a prescription medication, the amounts are diluted - you'd need hundreds of vials just to kill one person. It also makes a pretty poor weapon. The US and USSR both cancelled their botulinum programs in the 1960s because it was inferior in every way to nerve gasses and conventional explosives.

Re MattY's ridiculous "elections in other countries" take (also hi it's me I am other country)

Putting aside the empirical silliness, it's also a quite depressing attitude towards the world to me. Why wouldn't I be interested in what other people elsewhere are up to and care about what happens to them, just because they were born on a different patch of dirt or hold different passports?

I actually understand the take's internal logic from a very particular, nation-state-and-policy-selection-centric conception of democratic theory, but so much the worse for such a conception of politics

On the day that Meta announces they want to raise $95 billion through new equity, I wrote on a big change that AI is bringing to mainstream financial markets. siliconempires.substack.com/p/the-return...

I'm now imagining a whole pantheon that you have to proactively invoke for different flaws that you know your code contains. Athena forgives this lack of wisdom. Thor forgives this waste of electricity. Shennong forgives this lack of test coverage

in contrast tho, for most people reading this, your work is 99% simple stuff that open models were sufficient for last year

Quantian@quantian.bsky.social

If you are still on the “cheap Chinese models will take share from US labs” cope train you need to get off. US labs are now distilling their own models to compete across the Pareto frontier, so Haiku is better model than Kimi at 1/8th the cost. The only reason to use it is if you MUST self-host.

I would temper my expectations about a new era coming to Serbia. The election winners have virtually the same geopolitical positions as Vucic; most previous election winners (Vucic included!) ran on anticorruption; the student movement is above all populist. Good luck to them but let’s be realistic.

(it's me i can do both)

European dependence on russian fossil fuels is almost fully ended. The whole EU buts less than Turkey or South-Korea. Finanl nail in January (then only Greek shipping remains)

I'm a social guy and don't even mind a quick phone call per se, but I hate this sales behavior

opfuchs.gay@opfuchs.gay

No I do not want to "hop on a quick call" because I merely created a free account on your platform. You are a Danish company, what makes you think this is acceptable behavior?

"sosteniamo la difesa dell’Ucraina, però no alle armi per una guerra infinita" Come si sostiene la difesa di un paese sul quale cadono bombe quotidianamente? Quando i pacifinti sapranno rispondere a questa domanda, allora si potrà discutere. Fino ad allora, saranno solo chiacchiere pro Putin.

An internal model at OpenAI has produced a claimed refutation of ETH! Russell Impagliazzo, Mohan Paturi, and I have been asked to help organize an open and independent examination of this claim. 1/4

This is a really good move. It answers AHM’s complaint directly, by explicitly disclaiming academic credit and relinquishing control over the disclosure process. Researcher-led, no NDAs, each field makes its own decisions, continually open to negotiation.

this sounds like basically nothing if you read into it. h/t to @vgel.me for a good take on it

If anyone was wondering, no, macOS 27.2 update today does not appear to remove "emSign ECC Root CA - G3" and "AAA Certificate Services" roots from /etc/ssl/cert.pem. If I had to guess 27.2 was "done" several days ago.

Spending years on an assurance feature you fail to ship, when you have 3 year release cycles, and *this* is happening?

Andrew Lilley Brinker@alilleybrinker.com

IMO, if C++ really fails to ship contracts here, thereby slipping them to C++29 at the earliest, it’s another nail in the coffin and C++ will continue on its slow decline toward being a legacy language.

It does look more like a reminder that exfiltration can happen easily, than a solid demonstration of a back-door in Qwen. Anyway, a good practical demonstration that hosting the weights only reduces part of the problem. cohere.com/blog/concern...

even our socialists worship capital

Ted Underwood@tedunderwood.com

People are celebrating or mourning the Ant IPO, but I'm still trying to understand the worldview where frontier labs not being profitable *would have proven* AI isn't transformative. I think it's maybe a capitalist mysticism where social life is mostly Illusion, and only the Profitable is Real?
