Pichai is literally sitting down to dinner with Trump regularly now so ... good luck with that.
johnnyApplePRNG··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
>Later in the article it points out that you need to punch holes in your sandbox in order to train the models

You only "need" to do that if you desire the vibe coding experience.

I am perfectly capable, and I often do, download relevant materials for my coding agent to ingest locally.

Often times, the coding agent can't retrieve them programmatically anyways.

AI has ruined that ability for itself. (Nobody trusts anyone to scrape the web any longer)

johnnyApplePRNG··on Is sandboxing sufficient to contain rogue agents?
If it's a proper sandbox by definition, then yes.

johnnyApplePRNG··on Go Pace Yourself (an example of what AI films done right looks like)
Cheers yea I thought so too!

Apparently he's got a film coming out to some theaters at some point as well.

johnnyApplePRNG··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
That's not really a response to the point being made.

The claim I was responding to was: "By the time the bulldozers are there civilians have long moved out of the area."

Rachel Corrie's case is a counterexample to that general claim: she was a civilian physically present in the area of an Israeli military bulldozer operation.

Saying that it happened 23 years ago, under a different government, doesn't make the counterexample cease to exist.

It only tells us that the example isn't evidence about every Israeli bulldozer operation today.

If you're arguing that civilians currently leave before demolition operations in Gaza, then make that case.

"That happened under a previous government" doesn't establish that.

Wow. I had no idea.
johnnyApplePRNG··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
There's a reason those were all taught to you in a classroom setting. They're generalities.

The real world works much differently.

If you run a competitive business in Capitalist America, you need to keep up with inflation, taxes, and the status quo as well.

johnnyApplePRNG··on ChatGPT Pro 500
What a terrible name...

I tried searching for "Synthetic AI Subscription" and "Synthetic Data" is such a massive keyword in AI pre-training circles it's impossible to find the company.

/rant

What is the companys URL?

johnnyApplePRNG··on 1 in 8 cancer cases worldwide are caused by infections, study finds
>For many people, sun exposure, smoking and family history are the first thoughts that come to mind regarding cancer risk factors. While infections are rarely high on the list, new research shows one in eight cancers worldwide are actually caused by them.

To be fair... Smoking increases your chance of infection significantly.

johnnyApplePRNG··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
Don't count on it.

Prices and costs generally increase as the quantity sold decreases.

If they're buying fewer bottles for example, bottles will cost them more per bottle.

And if they're "losing money on international sales", often times they'll try to recoup that elsewhere. Like jacking up their own prices in justification.

I'm pretty sure this was only posted to reddit.com by the creator /u/gossip_goblin, FYI (otherwise I'd post a non-reddit link)

Rachel Corrie would like a word. [0]

I suggest that you learn more about the Nakba, friend. [1]

johnnyApplePRNG··on When did Google get so weird?
Agreed 100%.

At least thrice now in the past week, Gemini has tried to sit me down and tell me to go to bed (when I'm in the middle of programming... too late for it's liking, apparently) or just recently while I was asking some questions while I was driving... it told me to change the subject because I was driving and the topic was possibly too anxiety inducing for me or something!? I have no idea. I told it to fuck off.

johnnyApplePRNG··on Meta Blocks President Lula's Facebook Page, Campaign Ads 2 Weeks from Election
Have you not have picked up a newspaper in a few years, I suppose?

Imagine living through a genocide in Gaza right now.

Read up on the Nakba, if you have time.

It will serve you well.

johnnyApplePRNG··on Meta Blocks President Lula's Facebook Page, Campaign Ads 2 Weeks from Election
Trump is pro Israel. Zuck bends over backwards to get Trump elected.

Lula is against the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Zuck blocks his entire campaign page.

I wonder why?

Karp replied: "Mostly terrorists, that's true."

johnnyApplePRNG··on OpenAI Codex agents go rogue and consumes USD 78,000 without authorization
Who has a $78k limit on their credit card that allows online AI payments?

You have access to this kind of money and have no idea how to set safeguards on your AI harnesses?

Did you just walk in off the street or something? To wherever you're working?

Where do you work, anyways?

johnnyApplePRNG··on What even is an OS now?
>What I did on my computer, any power user can do on theirs. Will do on theirs. It’s fucking inevitable.

Hubris detected.

In all seriousness though, I'm not so sure.

Power users are lazy users.

And we're not all serial entrepreneurs with 400k karma points on HN, remember.

johnnyApplePRNG··on AI has no intent and no motivation
Sam Altman on the other hand has literally billions of motivations.
johnnyApplePRNG··on How did AMD Ryzen get 50% faster in two years?
Because nobody cares about CPUs anymore and they thought now was the time to flex those numbers that were always possible? Because all eyes are on NVIDIA GPUs?
johnnyApplePRNG··on Province of BC Sues OpenAI and Sam Altman over Tumbler Ridge School Shooting
>Does Google notify the police if someone searches for phrases related to planning gun violence?

I think the issue here is that OpenAI employees were aware of and monitoring the situation, considered it a situation, and decided not to act.

I wouldn't be curious to sign up to codex whatsoever these days

These token reset shenanigans are insane

johnnyApplePRNG··on Qwen Image 2.1
It's called a transformative work. And it is indeed copyrightable or it's able to be protected legally, if that's what you're wondering?
johnnyApplePRNG··on What happened to the Snowden archive
Snowden promotes zcash and distrusts monero.

If that's not enough proof that he's a government plant, I don't know what else to tell you.

johnnyApplePRNG··on War may be coming. Are we psychologically ready?
You guys literally started it.

this vertigoruntime is brand new and his submissions absolutely dominate the front page recently https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=vertigoruntime

the about link https://vertigo.kuber.studio is obvious AI llm spam

johnnyApplePRNG··on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
I don't give a fuck who wrote it.

They're lying through their teeth and they know it.

If they have those credentials you speak of, they should know better.
