Evil genies


The problem is as usual that they violate everybody’s expectations as they make the change…


If continuity isn’t relevant for qualia, then LLMs could have perpetually incomplete perception like the edge of the image drawn on a CRT screen when captured at high frame rates. You never see a complete picture even if it’s technically represented.


The debate on consciousness are on par with Copenhagen interpretation versus pilot wave versus multiple words - except the underlying theory they’re trying to describe is also not well defined
We can only practically describe subsets of what’s required for some basic functions, and we can describe a bunch of chemistry, some brain activation patterns, etc. But nobody can tie that together to why we feel what we feel (and some don’t agree that qualia is real, that perception itself is an illusion)


HTTP signatures are not a default feature, the baseline is ECDHE key exchange with forward secrecy and deniability. Headers are not typically signed.
There isn’t even an official standard for redistributable signed page metadata. There’s just prototypes. I absolutely hope one of those prototypes becomes official, but we’re not there yet.
The activitypub fediverse is literally very extremely Yolo trust me bro, it works because you can see the originating server with everything and misbehaving ones gets banned.


Hidden malicious behavior is the bigger risk, but if you did your job with sandboxing it (lol, lmao) that’s not a big risk


The biggest problem isn’t cost of running the models right now, the biggest problem is all the debt they built up on training and data center buildouts. That’s what they need to recoup and that’s what’s going to drive prices up. And once it’s recouped they’ll need to make pure profits.
And I hope that debt kills them because all the big AI companies are terrible in one way or another, and the eventual price disparity will make it uneconomical to use their models. Then we might return right back to development focusing on small models, not large ones.


Yeah so they need to present some basic evidence, not just an accusation


Not valid unless it was a crime in the country the request is filed to. There’s no “they asked so we had to”


Hardware security keys is the other option. The FIDO2 ones are compatible with most sites using passkeys.
