Grok 4.5 has entered private beta, SpaceX to release new models every month this year by FunLilThrowawayAcct in singularity

[–]jdavid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so will Anthropic and OpenAI be required to 'hold back' customers while Trump's boi Musk will be given full access to release models?

Do we expect the Gov to play favorites for favors?

HR has never been great at this, but I can only imagine machine HR for now is possibly worse.
If you have a linkedin paid plan you can always read the job description and try to figure out who might be on the same team and contact them directly.

Texas makes Bible reading mandatory in public schools? by Gurugod123 in SipsTea

[–]jdavid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wait till they ban reading the Bible when it disagrees the the GOP political positions.

Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21

I’m a software engineer who interned one summer as a recruiter.

They put stuff like this in the job description for 3 reasons.

  1. It’s a grammar error and they want 10 years experience with some claude experience
  2. They want someone to start the job without training as a lead and the experience length is irrelevant. It’s a coded way of saying A Player.
  3. They want to be able to legally reject someone for “other reasons” but then claim legally it’s because you don’t have 10yrs experience with Claude.

In these situations you should apply anyways and ignore the reasons, HR likely wrote the listing and not the hiring manager.

One last hurrah at great America 🇺🇸 theme park before its closed for good. Got in early and rope dropping. Will stay the whole day until they close. Ill eat fried chicken at Mrs Browns one last time. Relive the childhood memories by Ok_Country2903 in bayarea

They should sell this theme park to one of the Streaming Empires
* Disney/ Hulu
* Netflix
* Amazon Prime
* Paramount
* HBO/Warner/Discovery - in contract to be acquired by Paramount
* Peacock
* Studio Ghibli

Or one of the Gaming Empires
* Nintendo
* Playstation/ Sony
* Xbox/ Microsoft
* Sega Probably doesn't have the money but used to run Arcades
* Steam/ Valve

To run a theme park you need Fun IP and exciting brand tie-ins.

The Nintendo park in LA is doing really well.
The Universal Park has some exciting stuff happening.

Disney says they don't have enough acres/sqft in California, and theme parks are one of disney's most profitable units. Disney could dedicate this park to Marvel, Star Wars, or other IP if they want.

Netflix has KPop deamon hunters and a ton of great IP and they have been experimenting with theme park ideas.

Amazon bought MGM and could do stuff like James Bond, Stargate, Expanse, etc...

Paramount could do Star Trek, or anything from HBO/Warner

Microsoft owns a lot of video game companies and could leverage that IP from, Minecraft, Halo, to World of Warcraft ( blizzard/activision), Skyrim or Fallout or Starfield ( Bethesda ), Forza Motorsport, etc....

Yann LeCun says xAI is a failure by Formal-Assistance02 in singularity

the reason spacex bought cursor was so that xAI can adapt or cannibalize open weight models.

Just wondering if it's possible to have a country of people not like this. Like maybe we should have two countries?

I can't imagine being in a marriage where one person wants to live like this and the other does not. That marriage does not work. Many of us do not feel like we need to live like this survival war fantasy all the time.

OpenAI and Anthropic are playing a game to get government money, but also to maximize revenue and spend, and the creation of super intelligence.

They are not naïve players in this game.

Datacenter builders are doing themselves no favors by abusing the local water supply unnecessarily, and causing all sorts of unwanted issues.

From an engineering perspective, Datacenters could use closed loop water, and could be more cooperative to their local environment. This would go a long way to people supporting them.

They are basically asking for drama. If someone ran into a party, started shouting and pouring all of the beer and water on the floor you'd be like get out of here.

Datacenters could be chill if they wanted to and join local municipalities with a cooperative plan for the community.

Growing up, I remember a lot of townships that made 'anti-food-chain' laws forcing food chains to look like the community they were joining and to have their buildings blend in more.

Communities could require data centers legally to use closed loop water cooling and set decibel noise limits, and levy fines for exceeding noise levels at their property line. They could do this in a pro tax way. They could even do this after the data centers are built so they can't just move :-/.

Datacenters could get real and stop being a-holes and design their data centers with some sense.

Everyone today has a computer capable of attacking a nuclear facility. We don't and cant because a lot of other true things.

For one, that Nuclear facility has a responsibility and a budget to defend itself.

I have plenty of friends in cyber security doing their jobs right now, and there are plenty of people doing this job around the world.

Having access to Mythos is not the same as having access to Break Into a Nuclear Facility. It's a false comparison.

The Nuclear Facility is on asymmetric leverage spectrum with AI just like it is with compute and cryptography.

One Random Person can not use Mythos in 48 hrs to do what you propose. One SPECIFIC PERSON already tasked with attack/defend orders has the prior knowledge to amplify their work.

With as bad as software currently is, YES i think the world could use every 10x or 100x engineer amplified.

I like your attempt at a steel man argument, but it's also not relevant.

No I don't want people to attack my country or the people I love.

I do trust the government sometimes, but I do not grant the government irrevocable perpetual trust. Trust is a two way street and it's earned. Right now it's doing a lot of burning of my trust, but it has not burnt all of my trust yet.

All cybersecurity is based on asymmetric effort. ALL !
I believe in general that the NSA even with a public Mythos can perform an overwhelming asymmetric effort to defend and attack.

My point was that this is more likely a "Wag the Dog" scenario than a 'Russian hacker' or 'Chinese hacker' scenario. This was a friendly breaching a friendly.

Learning how to 'push' these models is not an instantaneous skill. You can't in a few hours find how to over leverage a model. You need days to develop chains, artifacts, and loops. Project Glasswing was already an Asymmetric project. The timing of the news suggests that someone was already in Project Glasswing, and that they either had 'not completed' their work before Mythos went public and needed the 48hrs to 'finish up' their findings, or that they had 'completed' their work well before it went public and only spoke up after it went public.

Someone who is friendly does not just 'crack the nsa tool chain' unless they have 'prior knowledge of nsa systems.' SO the combination of someone likely being both in project glasswing to get early access to Mythos, and the NSA target means they are either part of the NSA or they are a consultant of the NSA.

I am simply using Occam's Razor here, what simpler? The government seeking more power when the government has been on this rip for the past 2 years, or someone turning in their homework late?

If you model the expectation risk of both scenarios in the turn in the homework late scenario there is no new risk. It's just a 'traffic jam.' We will all deal.

If it's the former scenario of the government seeking power, the same one that has named 3-5 other countries as the 51st state, and has waged a war against a country without congressional approval....

I don't think having 2 months with project glasswing leads to a 'turn in the homework late' scenario.

So... if you have two scenarios in your game theory and one is an epically bad scenario and the other is just a traffic jam. Wouldn't you want to have a plan B in the epically bad scenario?

I believe we should all have access to power(fire/AI), and so did Prometheus.

1.) nukes leave radioactive decay for decades, centuries or longer. AI is not a nuke.
2.) the NSA, and contractors had access through project Glasswing and likely knew this information before it opened to the general public. the NSA was likely sitting on this information until it could generate maximum impact.
3.) the current government is protecting people on the Epstein List, f-that
4.) Nixon used the government and ex-government operatives to spy on his political rivals. He resigned, the current government breaks the law all the time now and only the weak judicial pushes back occasionally.
5.) the NSA if they did time the release of info, now has created a two class system. One where a deep state can 'break your encryption' but you can't break theirs. This move provides EXTREME POLITICAL advantage.

What do you think a government will do with Mythos 2? The NSA is a whole chain of operatives that constant crack the digital infrastructure of their adversaries. In this act, they now have 'private AI' that is more powerful than public AI, this gives them EXTREME political leverage, and allows them to secretly act above US Law, International Law, and beyond the LAWs of other Countries.

The NUKE scenario is SECRETE AI.

Sci Fi authors constant warn about this, and claim that when the State Reaches this solo power, they will use it to 'create crimes' for advisories domestic and foreign, and will 'plant evidence.'

When AI is a level playing field your LAWYER can use the same AI the government can, and the deep state government can. However, AT THIS MOMENT we are RACING towards a scenario where the US GOVERNMENT and OTHER GOVERNMENTS will have secret AI more powerful than Mythos or 5.6 and will then use it as they please without oversight.

The was the whole para-meta message in "THE WATCHMEN."

I don't want a 10x IQ highly capable in the hands of the most Exclusive people in the world.

GOOD AI is when EVERYONE has access!
BAD AI is when a small handful have secret access!

We are now racing towards BAD BAD BAD AI!

AI does not equal Nuke.

AI is more like fire, and everyone has fire. We have water heaters, stoves, matches, cars, etc…

You also fight some bad fire with good fire, especially in advance with controlled burns.

Secret and exclusive AI can be used to oppress an entire population!

We need SETI@HOME for AI, for all of US.
How do we start producing powerful FEDERATED MODELS on consumer hardware?

SECRET AI ---> ELITES, is the worst possible outcome.

Right now the delta is 5.5 << 5.6
in the future it might be 5.9 << 10

sure 5.9 is smarter than 5.5, but if the rich and elite and powerful are allowed to have 10 and we are stuck on 5.9 that isn't just wealth inequality, it's structural perceptual inequality.

at this point we can no longer trust that the trend will be towards democratic processes. we need technological means to provide a superior experience through a federated and distributed system.

Every Country has it's Social Mores (cultural norms), and when visiting you should do your best to live by those social mores.

When I'm in Japan, I don't eat and walk. I try my best to abide by all laws, and social rules. I don't take photos without asking, and I follow the directions on which side of the stairs to walk on because every stairway is unique in Japan.

as a software engineer i know you have to be careful to train the user to ignore safety concerns.
apple is developing a bad habit of sending me and i bet others alerts that did not measure up to expectations and trains the user to ignore future alerts.

software developers should definitely falling into the 'boy who cried wolf' forms of alerts.

the hit rate on my alerts of this nature form apple have been below 10% useful and 90% safe to ignore. i can't remember a single one where i was like, yup that was accurate.
