If you can see enough of what an intelligence apparatus is doing to be impressed I'd say they're not doing a very good job.

What they seem to be most unique in is the impunity of their operations, like when they assassinated a completely innocent guy in Norway, of all places: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillehammer_affair

It has been for decades at this point. thiago's blog posts which introduced me to the topic over a decade ago (and is still one of the best explainers) points out that posix_spawn was introduced in POSIX.1-2001: https://web.archive.org/web/20120718152158/http://www.maciei...

> It might be a "first-world problem", but having an account lost without appeal can justly be labeled "traumatic", especially if post-COVID it represents a majority of your social (or para-social) life.

Also possibly illegal under GDPR section 22.

Yes, it's part of the GDPR (which really seems one of the most well-intentioned pieces of legislation once you read through it).

You need to hit the retry/regenerate button more, it's there for a reason.

While the "stochastic parrots" thing is a bit overblown, IME most LLMs tend to surprisingly different responses even without changing the context, especially if they're hallucinating or doing something "wrong".

Isn't Pangram more expensive per token than most (all?) LLMs? Sounds too easily DoSable.

> I already acknowledged that "caste" is an incorrect word choice and I could've done better there, but my core point remains unchanged.

Considering the reactions, it was a very amusing "mistake" to make (a bikeshedding lightning rod so to speak).

Though I guess "caste" is a bit more sensitive in some cultures, which might explain why some commentators hyperfixate on that part of your comment.

... or through acquisitions of doubleclick and deepmind?

Sorry for necro-replying, but assuming you're talking about cloudflare they already do.

They took down KF (which is hosted in the US, so seemingly to be legal), but have always allowed everything from sites dedicated to livestreaming animal abuse to ISIS-affiliates hosting beheading videos (both which AFAIK is illegal).

Why do you view the judges as some superhuman unassailable truth oracles?

Your view is extremely dangerous, tbh., and rather anti-democratic.

Considering the accuracy of journalists in general (contentious subject, but the studies I've seen seem to confirm the gell-mann amnesia effect to some degree), I'd say AI Overview isn't bad at least.

... and annoying casting from `sockaddr` to either `sockaddr_in` or `sockaddr_in6*` while you pass around a socklen_t.

10 years ago I was all gung-ho about IPv6, but it's annoying at every level.

I hope you're not 100% serious.

Otherwise you should switch to haskal since it makes logic errors and bugs mathematically impossible.

according to anthropic's red team not even the secret claude stuff they're holding back is able to weaponize vulnerabilities without simplifying (disabling mitigations etc).

so we might be lucky that the LLMs are able to find the vulnerabilities before they are able to weaponize them, giving defense a time window.
