LLM output is toxic. Don't.
the FT reports today that the US Military is using an AI kill chain, built by Anthropic and Palantir.
They use it to launder inadequate evidence into kill decisions no-one can be blamed for, to perpetuate a terror program where it's impossible to tell who counts as a "combatant". And they will kill you, your children, your neighbours, and your children's entire school, for reasons you will never know.
TIL the name for the crazy US thing where you have 64 lanes, 32 each direction, and no median: "undivided highway".
Hope you are good at counting!
It will always be possible to identify LLM writing (independent of any scaling or quality changes in the LLM).
LLMs generate text through the mouths of millions, but cannot perceive the volume of text they extrude into the public realm.
People do see this, and through the oppositional process of creating personal and community identity, develop new voices.
Hence the LLM is oversampled, instantly outdated, and exposed.
when I boot my switch 1 into lineage, it briefly decides it's the greatest usb-c top and tries to charge my laptop
This goes badly
@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems yes, it is. I didn't even know about the police registration requirement.
Many people who consider themselves internationally-minded and tolerant have no idea about any of this.

come onnnnnn guys
re GME buying ebay and firing the marketing department: I'm against this kind of thing in general but as a eBay user, PLEASE stop the marketing
FT reports: Trump says US ‘thinking’ of ‘joint venture’ with Iran to charge tolls on Hormuz
The don wants his cut!!
@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange I, wearing a hat I'm paid to don, say via modular scaling using photonic interconnects (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.14029).
RE requiem is dire. really really bad. product placement misogyny fatphobia misogyny again and marvel movie "quips". Whist every UE5 effect slider is at max.
Why do LLMs produce the sensation of connection with a conscious being in many, yet AI imagery does not?
(at anthropic HQ) We've caught another one!

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Under reasonable assumptions regarding the quality of remote entanglement, it does not matter if you build your QC using one phenomenally-large device, or many smaller devices.
Thusly, more qubits are available at linear cost* and no additional design time**.
For any individual QC manufacturer, when to start scaled production of clusters is a tricky decision***. But it will happen.
*,**health warning asterisks, manufacturing is hard.
***silicon spins possibly excepted
Gorton & Denton polls closed. Reform does not need even in principle to defend a Green peg on Kalshi. I'm optimistic!
step -1) exec's use LLMs to brainstorm workplace policy
step 0) LLM suggests a policy (measure tasks performed) with a perverse incentive to make up tasks to spend tokens
step 1) 110% of Amazon's profit redirected into tokens for tasks impossible to fail

the bluespec contrib AXI module allows specifying subordinate devices with idwidth=0. This isn't valid and I should probably fix it
yess BlueSpec's FSM's getting deserved love! You can do truly complex things and they don't fall over! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztUZWtoZKiM
