I think since before 1998 2007. There was a “prism” project. Supposedly they had the ability to use some kind of early STT to catch keywords on phone calls and had black boxes at every ISP that duplicated traffic to their servers.

The very day I hear that my os is asking people their age is the day I find a different one.

Probably for auto-de-anonymization.

This seems like a kind of obvious and innocent mistake, really. So, what you have is an English voice model and Spanish voice model. You can give an English voice model Spanish and you can give a Spanish voice model English. Now, obviously the person that gave the Spanish voice model English text thought that it would translate for them. They were stupid. I don’t think this was malicious.

I think the order actually is even more narrow than that in that it only deals with the part of the business that they do that has to deal that has to do with actual sensitive stuff that is, if the anthropic CEO is to be believed.

I’m on the fence about whether I agree with you because it’s kind of a toss-up as to whether that’s true in my mind. Put on the flip side of that, they were already neck deep in with the DoD anyway, so your argument is convincing, in that respect at least.

While it is correct and totally fair to challenge the math, I believe that’s the kind of math that HR typically does. They were planning on getting rid of people already, now they can get rid of more.

Given that LLMs are so bad at math maybe they would be the best fit for job. It would be a nice change of pace because I’ve never been able to convince HR to give me more money on my paycheck, but I could definitely convince an LLM to do so.

Seems like it’s time to buy wooden shoes and sand for all those new gears.

A little MC is in order:

I think you are absolutely correct on every count and the point that I was trying to make here is that the same types of arguments are being made by the different people that there is nothing wrong with their product. It’s a problem that is being created by the user of the product, etc., etc. You can also see this with the petrochemical companies shifting the blame on the user and the plastics companies. Again, shifting the blame on the user instead of taking the blame in the production level where it should be.

The strategy is called delay, deny, defend period if it sounds familiar, it should.

They’ve left the door open to law enforcement for years. This is not new.

…and if you believe that police really had to ask, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya.

Just having the product listing with spec should be fine, but the way CPB doesn’t seem to care about civil rights, I suppose anything could happen.

Worst case, see if you can have a product listing with specs so they can visually confirm. Pretty easy solution. Heck, mine doesn’t even display spec, but would be easy enough to look up.

With any luck though, the TSA loses funding, amirite?

This has been the same in the US for some time. They don’t generally give you any funny looks unless you’re walking through with a 30 lb battery with an inverter attached to it or something.

I wouldn’t worry too much but your mileage may vary. Pun intended.

I appreciate your efforts and good on you for doing this but I don’t have time to do that with hundreds of people.

It’s just not ready for production yet.

I actually just went and checked to see if I had any messages and element x was complaining that I didn’t have a separate app that I needed to use to get push notifications which one would think element x would do on its own but it does not.

Once I installed it apparently there’s some extra shit that I’ve got to do to make that work too and it’s just stuff like that that’s just user hostile and not good.

I do like element and I love the idea of it but it’s just not compatible with most humans, apparently even myself, though I’d thought I had it all ironed out.

Yeah, it really is. I feel like if I have trouble getting it to work, my friends have no hope.

… I mean, I did get it to work but the struggle was real.

Thanks, I’ve shared this around.

The best part is if the third happens it doesn’t necessarily happen immediately. It might just happen while you’re sleeping.

Wheeeeeeee!
