i see, the quote was copied wrong. yeah i dunno i find it difficult to believe the overland cables would be 1% or less of overall traffic but maybe… i’m having a hard time finding any sources that disambiguate intercontinental and international traffic

it’s actually not true… most internet traffic is domestic. 99% of international traffic maybe? even then I question that because lots of places (i.e. europe, asia, americas) have land borders with international internet backbone cables. africa is a bit of an exception iirc because it doesnt have a ton of overland cables but the entire continent is wrapped in subsea cable.

The operator should ultimately be responsible for the output and actions taken by the system.

I don’t think that question is framed correctly… We don’t give guns agency the way we do for LLMs. The manner in which these attacks are discussed is “look at this crazy thing AI did, it’s so smart and dangerous!” so the way the discussion is framed around the tool is completely different from the way guns are discussed. Discussion around banning certain classes of weapons is usually centred on how easy it makes it for a single person to commit murder at scale. The discussion about LLMs is not about how easy it makes it for attackers to find and exploit systems at scale. Instead we’ve got this gaslighting campaign insisting the tool is acting under its own initiative. So I don’t think, right now, you can draw a straight line between arguments about AI safety and arguments about gun safety because they’re arguing different things.

i dont understand the relationship between the number of polygons and time

looks like an interesting project but it’s a web app?

i’ve got c++ and graphics experience but i don’t think i’ve ever used inkscape. i’ll dig through the list and see if there’s a way for me to be useful here.

also is there a way to see what issues are actually blocking 1.5? this is a list of 2000 things.

that 6’3 275 lb dude from utah is gonna be out of breath about 5 seconds into any altercation

yeah generally visiting the country you’re apparently fleeing from is frowned upon in the asylum process.

no, i think it’s dumber than that… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_post-Roman_triumphal_arches

if you count the number of unique cities in that list it’s 58.

actually maybe my theory is wrong… washington d.c. is actually in that list and does have an arch…

the boring explanation is Anthropic wants to IPO soon. Oh you mean the outage? that’s because they all use the same gpu providers.

i think it’s a combination of this, they need to spend less money training so they can IPO, and look how dangerous our tech is, it’s going to make you so rich if you invest. i really don’t buy that the ai is going to go rogue and end humanity.

7 figures? what is this, 1985?

No. It’s also meant to scare the fogies in congress into regulating AI so they don’t have to spend so much on research and training to stay competitive.

how do you tell the difference between C and G?

i cant even get an AI to go past the first question. if im using it to do any sort of research on anything i have to sit there and endlessly question its misguided conclusions. is this general intelligence?

I’m on a quest to have AI banned as a writing tool at work. It’s awful and everybody agrees it’s basically impossible to read and understand more than like a paragraph of AI text.

Why not get the anti-drone turret working before you try to throw self driving in the mix?

yahoo finance articles are impossible to read. why are they so chaotic? i assume it’s written by ai but it seems very chaotic even for ai.

no im pretty sure most of those words are used a lot. except maybe “social predator”. not sure what that one even means.
