motbus3··on Flock cameras track more than your license plate, and they're spreading fast
Technically it is. But they create companies that operates for months and close and then open a new one using a different person's name. You can't do anything because between you find them and sue them they are closed and the data is elsewhere.

This is no child's play. The ads you see all around are designed for you not to click. They just want to inject more metadata to make you more identifiable.

Once I followed one of those fake stories like "look what happen with this pregnant horse" and it was literally 50+ pages of a possibility ai generated story that never ended. If you just moved to the main site the story was hosted the content was completely different and no link to the thing you were reading.

Why would anyone pay an ad for something like that? It needs to have a reason and I don't think it is to talk 52 pages about a horse who was pregnant

Nothing is blocking them to spread their tech on other brands and vendors, making ghost data operator companies and aggregating it on complex layers that only produces information without the whole data.

The law that regulates it and all the validation process is flawed and they know it.

Both flck and pltr uses a loophole on the law that if no one holds data no one is doing anything wrong. This needs to be fixed. Holding information about people should have a maximum time limit and should be treated respectfully. Given it is impossible to make them stop, it should be easy to see what's on you and anything else is illegally obtained.
motbus3··on I used Claude Code to get a second opinion on my MRI
The only part of the message I think it would be interesting to the author: what if you set two instances to prove each other arguments wrong considering that each reads one of the report as their POV?

I didnt see the full process but I used unet models for tumor detection so I am somewhat familiar with the possible caveats of any evaluation from a engineer perspective.

First, I would like to point that unfortunately, it is not uncommon to go to two different human doctors and also get two unreliable diagnosis and treatment. The biggest problem, in the way people plan to use ai on health is the lack of liability.

A bug on a regular old web site doesn't kill anyway nor cause pain and suffering (most of the times) but misdiagnosis + the fact that a model is very good on presenting arguments even when it is completely wrong.

Claude code, and I am talking about opus 4.8 here, can tell rivers of information about code pattern and develop the poopiest code the next line.

This is a machine that will deliver a sort of templates document based on the input information but it is not exactly doing the work if you don't directly it to do it right constantly.

Because the model isn't thinking I wonder what happens if you set multiple agents to communicate and defend their point with some sort of harsh penalty prompt for not fulfilling its goal. There are some safety system prompts on Claude models that will trigger it to be very carefully to write. Like: you cannot make mistakes. "You need to ensure that it is correct or someone might end up hurt or even dead"

But you would need two agents and a setup to communicate via pipes or files.

This will limit a lot how much they can invest in a model. Because of it is better than the current it will have less and less users until only the government can use it.

motbus3··on Rio de Janeiro's "homegrown" LLM appears to be a merge of an existing model
I've worked with infra resources in that region. The prices of hardware never made sense. Not sure if it's taxes or something, but I'm sure a poor city hall won't be able to afford 250 GPUs for R&D in cutting-edge tech.

I'm sorry your day has been tough dude. Tomorrow will be better!
motbus3··on Rio de Janeiro's "homegrown" LLM appears to be a merge of an existing model
It seems to me this is clearly a mistake. They would not even have the resources for it as far as I know and I think they are not even on a position to such bold claims.
motbus3··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
True but this is probably because now they have much more demand as other competitors got to expensive and now people are going for the smaller ones even with low service levels
motbus3··on It used to be hard
This is simplistic. The hard part of writing professional software has never been the code.

All the remaining problems still exists and I dare to say they were made worse.

motbus3··on The Causes of Long Covid
Not sure if needed. It depends much on your exposure. If you have someone on your family it is a factor of risk. Which just makes things insane considering that they exploit it get couple hundred bucks more per insurance.

It has been cheaper to not work for the healthcare system lately. Also because people are a**oles to nurses and the rest of the staff.

Deepseek V4 flash and pro are insanely good. Even it was for the same price
motbus3··on Is This the Dawn of the Tokenpocalypse?
I can't say more. But it is totally possible.
motbus3··on Is This the Dawn of the Tokenpocalypse?
You talk without even knowing what the thing is about. It is easy peasy to spend millions of tokens per minute if you have the content for it.

This is not about you chatting with your char gpt window for sure.

motbus3··on Is This the Dawn of the Tokenpocalypse?
It is hard to say because there is "affection" memory that it was better than what we had before so it seems it was better.

In my humble opinion that serves nothing, it improved gradually, not exponentially up to 4.5

4.6 seems to be a minor step and the latest 2 are pure rubbish

motbus3··on Is This the Dawn of the Tokenpocalypse?
By differences in the release dates between 4.7 and 4.8 it seems it was more likely an attempted bugfix

But 4.8 still underperforms on most tasks. I have things running where 4o-mini does it considerably better repeatably.

They might have tuned it for a particular reason and I would not doubt that the harness has been made worse.

Sometimes it teases me to think it does wrong things on purpose

motbus3··on Is This the Dawn of the Tokenpocalypse?
With no details, a bird told me of a project which estimated using several millions of tokens per day to automate a team work which got laid off. The operation is now a mess, there is no one willing to be considered liable and since the cheap model they used is about to be retired the company is going to see a 4x increase in price at least.

I have the feeling that the age of 'i can't be blamed by AI stuff' will be a "this was the computer guy mistake" for a moment.

PS. I've been using Claude opus 4.8 and it is worse than 4.6 and I will say that even sonnet 4.6 is better. PhD. Level of software and engineering I believe! I know many PhD who never coded or worked anyway

motbus3··on The Causes of Long Covid
I know someone's case who got it 3 times. The first 2 times full recover in no time. The third one took couple of months and now feels tired all the time, lost all sense of taste and smell, swollen tongue, body pain of sitting still due to the compression of muscles.

This person told me it was sure it was related to COVID because there was nothing before or after it and that was the only thing that happened.

Kinda sucks to thing that everytime it might be a chance for that or worse

Don't worry. Your government is creating plenty of laws to make to blatantly expensive to run anything that can compete with them.

motbus3··on AI outperforms law professors in Stanford Law study
As others pointed. It kind implies it surpasses professors, but reading more carefully it seems more like the mythos situation. There was a single professor or test that it surpasses.

Reading it makes me extremely suspicious on how cherry picked this was
