bbqfog··on Five journalists among 20 killed in Israeli strike on Gaza hospital
Wtf? Man fuck you you baby killing terrorist. I see you let the Zionists go hog wild on this site.
bbqfog··on Five journalists among 20 killed in Israeli strike on Gaza hospital
Israel literally bombed a hospital then double tap killed the rescue crew and the journalists covering the original war crime, and it's all on video for anyone to see.

So why would you say this guy was released?
bbqfog··on AI is different
It's "designing" the way it gets me to the destination without a human in the loop and I'm not bothered by that at all.
bbqfog··on AI is different
I would. If something has proven results, it won't matter to me if a human is in the loop or not. Waymo has worked great for me for instance.
bbqfog··on AI is different
That's just a side effect of toxic work environments. If AI can create value, someone will use it to create value. If companies won't use AI because they can't blame it when their boss yells at them, then they also won't capture that value.
bbqfog··on What if A.I. doesn't get better than this?
It does incredible things today that we wouldn't have thought possible 5 years ago.

Trying to translate "Satoshi Nakamoto" from Japanese to English does not show "Central Intelligence" in any tool I've used. I also find it hard to believe that something that obvious would have never been mentioned. Can any native Japanese speakers confirm this?
bbqfog··on Facial recognition vans to be rolled out across police forces in England
What kind of impasse?
bbqfog··on Facial recognition vans to be rolled out across police forces in England
This is just racist propaganda. There’s no evidence to back up your claims. The links you posted talk about the police raping kids.
bbqfog··on Facial recognition vans to be rolled out across police forces in England
> One woman says as a child she would hear a police officer having sex with girls in exchange for drugs and money.

That sounds like a lot more than denial to me! It’s safe to say any evidence gathered by the same cops raping kids should be thrown out.

bbqfog··on What if A.I. doesn't get better than this?
AI is so new and so powerful, that we don't really know how to use it yet. The next step is orchestration. LLMs are already powerful but they need to be scaled horizontally. "One shotting" something with a single call to an LLM should never be expected to work. That's not how the human brain works. We iterate, we collaborate with others, we reflect... We've already unlocked the hard and "mysterious" part, now we just need time to orchestrate and network it.

Yes, it's well known that UK police and politicians have abused children at scale, hence why Saville was able to get away with what he did. He was protected by the crown. There are even pictures of Ghislane Maxwell and Kevin Spacey sitting on the throne (can google it).

This has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with the UK being a addicted to surveillance. They have a long history of spying on their own citizens.

Thousands of children aren't being assaulted, unless you count by Jimmy Saville and his friends.
bbqfog··on How AI is upending the software development industry
My point is people keep saying the same thing throughout different eras and the truth is the quality of code has always been low. If anything, ai is going to greatly improve it.
bbqfog··on How AI is upending the software development industry
People were saying this about coding bootcamps just a little while ago! "All of these bootcamp coders don't really know what they're doing and us seniors will have to clean up after them". Same with outsourcing before that. Most people (seniors included) suck at coding. AI is already better than all but the the very best. It will continue to improve.
bbqfog··on Read your code
This makes the assumption that vibe coded software is worse than human coded software. I think that’s already false on average and will quickly become “no contest”. We’ve already seen the best humans can do, ai is just getting started.
bbqfog··on Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade no-crawl directives
Correct, it’s user hostile to dictate which software is allowed to see content.
bbqfog··on Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade no-crawl directives
If you put info on the web, it should be available to everyone or everything with access.
bbqfog··on Read your code
These tools continue to increase in power. It’s incredible and there’s no use denying it. Asking people to read ai generated code will soon make as much sense as asking people to read compiler generated ASTs.
bbqfog··on Anthropic: Persona Vectors
These models will also have access to what’s not widely known. Imagine running it on everyone’s private email for instance. At the very least, it can currently scale and augment human evil (just like it does with coding). The future will just make that division even wider.
bbqfog··on Anthropic: Persona Vectors
Only if we can get a pre-tuned, truly open and powerful model. Otherwise those in power can only give us access to models deliberately hobbled to compete with their full-power versions.
bbqfog··on Persona vectors: Monitoring and controlling character traits in language models
I worry that the people/organizations that have access to the raw underlying models give us the "non-evil" versions yet can explicitly tune their models to achieve any goal without restriction. Examples may include: "How do I get the most work out of my employees for the least amount of pay", "Who in the government is most susceptible to bribes and how should I approach them?" or even "Give me a strategy to ethnically cleanse a region while navigating international relations". It could be anything and those in power (without naming names, I would consider many of them evil for sure) can use them to achieve their goals while leaving the rest of us unable to defend ourselves. To some degree it feels like the right to bear arms has intersecting goals.

Maguire has been spreading absolutely vile genocide propaganda since Israel has started its assault on Gaza. It's about time it caught up to him and Sequoia.
bbqfog··on Hate Radio (2011)
They were probably worried that the west would continue to launch attack after attack on civilian populations. They were quite prescient.
bbqfog··on Mrs. Meir Says Moses Made Israel Oil‐Poor (1973)
She’s a Zionist terrorist from Milwaukee.
bbqfog··on Too many tech layoffs blamed on poor performance
Executives get paid orders of magnitude more than non-executives, yet never seem to be responsible for the performance of their companies. They should be the first let go when it's time to turn things around. Who else could possibly be responsible other than those running the company?
bbqfog··on [dead]
When it's in Israel and features the Zionist flag, then yes, absolutely.
