Ew, this article is an ad for another company. I feel icky when people try to monetize my basic human rights.

Here’s a not for profit article alternative: https://oit.utk.edu/security/learning-library/article-archive/privacy-onboard-ai-google-gemini/

Dear Sergey,

if you object to the specific word “genocide”, then perhaps we should start calling it the “mass murder and starvation that has killed 5-10% of all Palestinian civilians”. That doesn’t sound much better, though, does it?

One of the key things that some in the “UN is anti-semitic” camp likes to claim is that the UNHRC has many nations that are non-democratic and have known human rights abuses.

But that’s somewhat cherrypicked. Yes, the nations proposing measures against Isreal do seem like a biased set. But most of the Western democracies ultimately vote for those measure, with only the US rejecting it.

In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.

WTF

[It passed because] many opposed communism because of its explicitly declared and historically demonstrable goal to undermine liberal democracy. In the words of Ernest van den Haag, there was “no place in democracy for those who want to abolish [it] even with a peaceful vote”.

The irony of using it here would be palpable

I’d encourage you to research more about this space and learn more.

As it is, the statement “Markov chains are still the basis of inference” doesn’t make sense, because markov chains are a separate thing. You might be thinking of Markov decision processes, which is used in training RL agents, but that’s also unrelated because these models are not RL agents, they’re supervised learning agents. And even if they were RL agents, the MDP describes the training environment, not the model itself, so it’s not really used for inference.

I mean this just as an invitation to learn more, and not pushback for raising concerns. Many in the research community would be more than happy to welcome you into it. The world needs more people who are skeptical of AI doing research in this field.

I see a lot of misunderstandings in the comments 🫤

This is a pretty important finding for researchers, and it’s not obvious by any means. This finding is not showing a problem with LLMs’ abilities in general. The issue they discovered is specifically for so-called “reasoning models” that iterate on their answer before replying. It might indicate that the training process is not sufficient for true reasoning.

Most reasoning models are not incentivized to think correctly, and are only rewarded based on their final answer. This research might indicate that’s a flaw that needs to be corrected before models can actually reason.

Beautiful! I’ll definitely give this a go

python -m http.server is still my media server of choice. It’s never let me down.

It only seems to make a difference when the rich ones complain.

Obvious ragebait article

I read the article, and it’s way less bad than the title made it sound. They just set company chats to disappear after some number of days and told employees to not “comment before you have all the facts.” This has been the policy of every company I’ve worked at, including university IT and Amazon.

The title made it sound like they were deleting specifically chats related to open court cases, which is like level 10 ultra-illegal.

The votes, not the replies. There’s a bunch of silent lurkers on here who just browse for comments on brave to downvote them.

Sorry you got downvoted. Once again people are downvoting positive posts about Brave blindly.

It’s no coincidence that the only open source browser that actually blocks ads is the one that gets downvoted all the time. Meanwhile people are dead silent when someone recommends a fully closed source chrome alternative that makes money from search tracking. 🤔

The repro and verification will take time. Months or even years. Don’t trust anyone who says it’s definitely real or definitely bunk. Time will tell.

The problem is supporting ad networks.

Edit: /s because apparently it wasn’t obvious. Anonymous is obviously better.

Probably due to an EU regulation

Theoretically, the virus is made for Windows, so it would have different effects on Wine.

It probably wouldn’t do anything dangerous. But still, scan it with VirusTotal.
