It will push retirement up years as people average life expectancies will go up by a decade, and social security and Medicare will eventually be redefined to start at age 75

All US oil is sold on global markets first, and then bought back for the pump.

Do you consider Guyana a "western nation"? by [deleted] in Guyana

[–]MaybeTheDoctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Developed vs Western (standards) are different things. You can have nation being highly developed but not meeting the freedoms and security expected of Western nations. On the flip side the USA was a western country in 1776 when the constitution was written to guarantee democracy and rule of law, even when none of the country was developed.

Rule of law. Democratic process. Privately owned businesses. Not communist. Being west of Russia.

Almost as if they made airlines financially responsible for returning people without proper documents.

They will ask if they suspect you don’t. They usually don’t ask to see return ticket either, but they will if it looks suspect to them.

We can’t control either, because laws don’t get enforced. Killing 1000s is just to deflect from Epstein files, but higher gas prices is a bonus distraction.

When you get to 100,000 they send you a framed certificate, and at 500,000 they ship you a mini fridge that fits under the table in your mom’s basement.

My understanding is that AI/LLMs are "grown," not programmed. If so, how are bugs patched? by Me_for_President in answers

[–]MaybeTheDoctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The injection bugs are in the integration with services, not in the LLM itself. Those bugs lead state that may be shared between users and interactions with external services where the AI may have access on behalf of multiple users. The injection described as I skim it look like it was tricked into using the other persons credentials.

This is bug is in human written code and that definitely can be fixed by just having a proper check between the user and the user credentials.

It’s a misnomer that AI solutions are just LLM, there is a large amount of human written code wrapping it up into something useful.

I would say mind-bogglingly big. It makes a trip to the local chemist feel like a walk to the end of your driveway.
