We know Amazon’s doing practically the same thing, and Google, Facebook, etc. are doubtless doing it too.

The difference—for better or worse—is that Apple’s using your own machine instead of their servers.

“Sam Altman Absolutely Hates the Idea of People.”

FTFY.

Spez: “I’m not logged in here with you—you’re logged in here with me!”

Funny—the only segments of the academic community where Haidt is taken seriously are the right-wing anti-“woke” sections that Meta otherwise promotes. I guess his push to ban teens from the internet was too extreme even for them.

You have to steal the hardware IRL before you can play the game on it.

Sure, but the Chinese and other models in the source study were no better than the US ones.

Is it normal usage now to use “model” to refer to a server with an LLM endpoint (as opposed to the software it’s using)?

If that’s what he wanted, he wouldn’t have done it secretly.

It does diddly squat in addressing the ‘confidently incorrect’ hallucination / Bullshit-generator problem fundamental to LLMs

Eh, I can see some potential relevance. If an AI starts by dividing objects into “pointy things” and “round things” where a human would divide them into “animals” and “artifacts”, the AI would be more likely to mistake a cat for a car where a human would mistake a cat for a dog. Neither mistake is objectively worse than the other; but to a human, the former is a bizarre hallucination while the latter is an excusable misperception.

If you set up one port forward to any SSH server on your local network (e.g., a spare Raspberry Pi), you can then use SSH tunneling to mirror any port on any machine in your local network to ports on your remote SSH client. And it leaves no trace on either side outside of the terminal session.

Wait til the crows and seagulls learn they can follow the drones for free food.

It should be considered a universal law of corporate behavior: any information that has theoretical value will eventually be sold.

Even if current management has no intention of exploiting it, they’ll be replaced by the board, or the division and its data will be spun off and sold for its IP—that’s just corporate nature (i.e., the purpose of a system is what it does).
