not reporting his exchanges with foreign entities

Is this true?

Not all swarms have been intentional. IIRC, the agents in the Hugging Face incident formed their own swarm. They weren’t even supposed to be “aware” that there were other agents.

Did any of them mention why?

New products take a long time to plan, develop, and launch at large companies like Microsoft. Laying off 60k employees is quite a bump in quarterly profits.

Doesn’t seem any closer today than, say, 2 years ago.

Have you seen what small, open-weight models from Chinese labs are capable of doing on consumer-grade hardware? They’re much more advanced than any flagship LLM running on VERY expensive hardware, 2 years ago.

I have no idea how close we might (or might not) be to the bubble bursting, but surely it’s closer than 2 years ago.

🤔 what’s the logic here?

If I had to take a wild guess: Government bailouts

If I had to guess: the culture here seems unusual, and unwelcoming — sometimes even hostile — to diverse opinions (i.e. people who aren’t similarly unusual).

I haven’t met many people IRL who would fit in here. For some visitors, that’s okay (I don’t fit in here, myself), but I think most people would just move along and forget that Lemmy exists.

Being federated, Lemmy is technically capable of being more diverse. It’s a bit ironic that it still ended up being like this.

Also, some images don’t load. I just ignore those, but still people might be put off by broken UX

I have not. Is that game only about torturing the characters, or is that more of a side quest?

🤔 I don’t think it’s quite the same as video games. Video games usually involve some challenge, goal, risk of losing, etc.

There are only a few games that I play though, so I might not be “qualified” to say for sure, but a torture simulator with no purpose outside of torture doesn’t seem like much of a game.

To spend this amount of time and effort building the necessary software environment for “torturing” LLMs is creepy. Like, imagine an adult who builds a bunch of crazy contraptions to physically “torture” some dolls or something. It harms no one, but it’s creepy.

🤔 Interesting. I never even considered what happens if excess energy is produced

How?

(No need to go into too much detail as I’m not in the UK; I’m just curious)
