Sorry about this. Updated post referencing Dario Amodei’s quote.

Sorry! Referring to Dario Amodei’s quote “ it’s my worry that in 6–12 months such a swarm could be capable of taking over the entire internet with a persistent botnet (potentially causing hundreds of billions of dollars in damage), and that the scale of damage would continue to increase from there if AI becomes more powerful without the necessary guardrails.”

Would someone be able to explain what Anthropic’s values are around a shrinking required workforce? Based on the emphasis on their values I would hope for something more thoughtful than “in the past some jobs went away and others were created.” Past innovations replicated a much more narrow slice of human ability than AI.

Personally, I’m of the view that the internet is like a bulletin board: If you post your content publicly then it can be read publicly. Paywalls and required log-ins are perfectly OK.

I think what Cloudflare is advocating for is preservation of a “public+Ads” bundle where ads are viewed by a human. So they want to disentangle a computer reading something (the core premise of the internet) from a human putting eyes on it.

I wouldn’t mind see a world in which more content is private and the creator can decide how to monetize. It feels like Cloudflare stepping in to say public != public is an overreach.

That CRT effect is dope. It's amazing it's even possible.

I remember learning it in college. How easy it was to pull and parse a webpage and allow me to store and study the world’s information. I was hooked.

Haha. Yeah I feel they’re exact opposites. Emacs is so DIY/wanting to control your experience and create the perfect tool for you.

Yeesh. Thanks. I guess that makes swapping for a used phone not an option.

I’m a rando. This was on a street in New York. There’s a chance he was just spraying and praying he’d find someone who hadn’t updated iOS, but I guess I can’t know for sure. Would you know if it’s possible to check how any info has left my phone? My email, text, and iCloud look OK, and I’ve changed my passwords, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to wipe records here or communicate otherwise.

Thanks. I rebooted it. For previous exploits, do you think that would be enough?

Yeah, that's about what I was thinking, that a zero-day would do it. Thank you. Fingers crossed.
