123yawaworht456··on Scientists may have found a way to eliminate chromosome linked to Down syndrome
I'll make another ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yes, naturally, almost every post I make on my throwaways is something political, in response to existing political comments or submissions, which are evidently allowed.

using throwaways to protect oneself from the terminally online crowd is pretty much a necessity in the current year, unless your values and opinions are firmly in the middle of the Overton window. and even then, there are many opinions that were universally okay 15 years ago can be used against you now. I've seen it happen time and time again.

The heresy of heresies was common sense.

out of curiosity, what's your stance on abortion? :^)
123yawaworht456··on Executive Order – Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government
>Naw his list included a lot of valid science. There was no apparent rhyme or reason to the parts of the list was known.

it did, yes, but it shows how many people were getting paid obscene amounts of money to 'research' equitable math* and such.

* yes, seriously. people get paid to call math racist. https://equitablemath.org/

123yawaworht456··on Tech oligarchs have turned against the system that made them
there is, almost at any given time, a designated thread with a two minutes hate about the musky man.
123yawaworht456··on Where are the right-wing scientists? Everyone's on the left like me
I was trying to say that people whose values don't fit in the Overton window keep their opinions to themselves. In China, it's contempt for the CCP, in Russia, it's contempt for Putin, and in the US, it's contempt for DEI/ESG/etc.

in all three countries, dissent is an informal crime.

123yawaworht456··on Nvidia Says U.S. Has Lifted Restrictions on A.I. Chip Sales to China
>Exiting the market could allow Huawei, the Chinese tech giant, to increase its sales and eventually compete against Nvidia overseas.

inshallah.

123yawaworht456··on "AI discourse" is a joke
the idea that we're having a discourse at all is delusion. the sheer volume of capital behind this tech is enough to roll over all the feeble cries of impotent rage.
123yawaworht456··on Meta's Days of Giving Away AI for Free Are Numbered
>There’s no clear answer on whether open-source AI is good or bad for society. Sure, it addresses a growing concentration of power among Silicon Valley companies; but as free models become more capable, giving them away raises the risks of misuse. Chinese military researchers have used Llama to build their own intelligence tool called ChatBIT, for instance, using it to gather data and make operational decisions. Researchers also created a “BadLlama” model with no safety features, something they wouldn’t have been able to do with closed systems like ChatGPT.

was this paragraph written in 2023? that genie is not going back into the bottle. China has the tech, the talent, and the compute.

123yawaworht456··on What if UKR falls? No longer a hypothetical question – must be answered urgently
I assume he tried, but both sides are determined to keep fighting until they run out of men ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

my point is, calling the current administration incompetent when the other one hadn't achieved anything either is absurd.

123yawaworht456··on Where are the right-wing scientists? Everyone's on the left like me
that was exactly my point.
123yawaworht456··on Where are the right-wing scientists? Everyone's on the left like me
in China, all scientists are pro-CCP. in Russia, all scientists are pro-Putin.
123yawaworht456··on She Wanted to Save the World from A.I. Then the Killings Started
>In one Discord exchange, members of the group insisted on using Discord handles composed of symbols rather than alphanumeric characters. When moderators objected, the group accused them of transphobia. “They’re like, ‘You are forcing us into legibility, and trans people are illegible, and this is an important expression of my identity,’” said Brennan, who is trans nonbinary. This view dovetailed with their belief that transgender women have a distinct neurotype that is particularly good at A.I. safety research, according to Brennan.

well, he isn't wrong.

123yawaworht456··on OpenAI delays launch of open-weight model
okay. and? there are no AI 'safety' laws in the US.

without OpenAI, Anthropic and Google's fearmongering, AI 'safety' would exist only in the delusional minds of people who take sci-fi way too seriously.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

for fuck's sake, how more obvious could they be? sama himself went on a world tour begging for laws and regulations, only to purge safetyists a year later. if you believe that he and the rest of his ilk are motivated by anything other than profit, smh tbh fam.

it's all deceit and delusion. China will crush them all, inshallah.

123yawaworht456··on Ask HN: If I write a book, is there a legal way I can stop LLMs from reading it?
include the gamer word on every page and the whole book might get filtered out from the dataset
123yawaworht456··on OpenAI delays launch of open-weight model
does your CPU, your OS, your web browser come with ~~built-in censorship~~ safety filters too?

AI 'safety' is one of the most neurotic twitter-era nanny bullshit things in existence, blatantly obviously invented to regulate small competitors out of existence.

123yawaworht456··on DOJ Statement of Interest on Suppression of Competition Through Deplatforming
>Maybe if people are "deplatforming" you for your view points, it means that these viewpoints have ALREADY LOST.

yeah, right... except, you know, the current president of the US and his followers.

123yawaworht456··on We're light-years away from true artificial intelligence, says martha wells
>Well you’re basing your conclusion on a 2 year blip of not being able to stop LLMs from hallucinating.

to this day, the improvement since the original API version of GPT4 (later heavily downgraded without a name change) has been less than amazing. context size increased dramatically, yes, but it's still pitiful, slow and brutally expensive.

123yawaworht456··on Give Me Some Advice
>the data you are stealing

when you look at a picture in your browser or an app, it's already been 'stolen' to your device.

half a billion teenage girls are 'stealing' data from instagram twelve hours a day.
