Any AI researcher who refuses to support his own country in a technological arms race is morally bankrupt, foolishly naive and does not deserve to enjoy the the way of life created for him by those who sacrificed their lives.
I live in Israel. There is fake news being spread about Tel Aviv being destroyed and Israel being hit hard. This is absolutely false. The volume of rockets is way lower than the 12 Day War. In fact, I do the irresponsible thing of not even going to the bomb shelter when the odd siren rings out.
There was a decision made by the security establishment not to allow reporting on Iranian missile hits in order to make it harder for the Iranians to do BDA.
If you think the gov't is doing illegal things to US citizens then provide the proof and expose it. I don't have evidence so I am not going to speculate either way.
I can't believe that people simply bought into Anthropic's PR messaging.
This has nothing to do with "mass surveillance" (which is illegal anyway) or killbots, it's all about Dario wanting to be able to override lawful use:
I think it's quite rich all these people virtue signaling when: (1) Anthropic (and other labs) committed large scale theft of copyrighted materials to train their models. (2) Anthropic collects large swaths of data on its users (3) Dario seemed to have no issue working to help the CCP: https://x.com/ubuto23/status/2027578089371267201
Also, you must understand that if you support Anthropic, then you should be against Open Source models.
do you use FDE on your hetzner instances? I couldn't find a guarantee that they properly dispose of block storage so I ended up developing a utility for this https://github.com/mvelbaum/hetzner-fde-toolkit
it's more like the previous guys were so bad that people said that the guy the media lied to them about from 2015 until 2024 wasn't that bad after all.
- we now see that "bidenomics" was a disaster after the media decided to stop lying about it and blaming the people for not believing "the stats". job numbers revised down massively after it was no longer viable to lie during the election.
- apparently there was no need for a "bipartisan border bill" or for "congress to act" in order to shut down the border as encounters are down 90% now.
people have their panties in a bunch about tariffs, but I don't understand why reciprocal tariffs are so bad.
it appears that people here are happy for things to go south just so that they could shit on trump. how about having a bit more optimism for the future, even if the near term will be a bit shakey?
You literally have a "Following" tab where you can have a timeline for only people you care about. You also have both a mute & a block button. Any platform focused on news & politics will have people fighting & insulting each other, learn to deal with it.
Advertisers have left as part of a concerted pressure campaign to bring back censorship. This effort has been coordinated by NGOs that ironically receive funding by the US Gov't as part of their mis/dis/malinformation playbook in order to keep in check populist political movements that may undermine the State Department's interests. As soon as Elon sued GARM, it broke apart, and I bet the Trump admin will target NewsGuard and kill it as well.
I may disagree with people politically, but I would never ask to ban them. Heck, I don't even report people who hurl racist insults at me, I just counter-attack, just like I would in real life.
