you are scientifically illiterate

Because I’m not buying an overpriced humidifier?

The scam where I buy a shipping container at some point?

Hardly a scam. There’s nothing to insert money into.

This is just empty hype

One problem maybe kinda hypothetically down. Ten thousand more to go.

how do you enforce any jurisdiction on a satellite and what it’s doing.

You threaten to disable it, which would be very easy give how fragile it is

Okay, but have you considered how cool it would be to put a data center in space?

What if I told you that we have to BEAT CHINA to space?

Good news. Linux can LLM - too

Being profitable so you can continue to exist does not mean you are motivated by profit.

I mean… it definitely plays a large factor. The idea that these organizations aren’t profit-maximizing is very different than claiming they’re net negative or hobbyist endeavors.

This is the same argument as “you hate capitalism but you participate in it.”

“We live in a capitalist society and must play by its rules” is merely an observation of the status quo.

I would more compare it to the complaint about a number of socialist states - China, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela - that wildly outperform their expectations despite flying in the face of Chicago School orthodoxy. “Well, but they’re cheating!” is an allegation made regularly.

Western AI data scrapping companies love to get mad at Chinese AI data scrapping companies for scrapping their data, for instance. American MIC love to bemoan foreign investment in cheap, efficient deterrents. American biotech companies are firmly committed to keeping anything developed in Cuba out of the hands of the American public.

What if I told you all of these ventures were profitable?

Highly lucrative fraud.

So you know nobody is going to do anything about it

Brother. This is Orwell’s biography. It’s not a “point”. It’s how he lived his life.

Read it again. Think harder.

He hated his time with the police force, hated the British empire, and called imperialism “an evil thing.”

Incredibly, the man once accused of communist tendencies and the creator of Big Brother, was by 1949 surreptitiously working for British intelligence. He drew up a list of names of crypto-communists for Britain’s Foreign Office Information Research Department, the spies who led the UK propaganda war.

Orwell’s contact was Celia Kirwan, a former flame who visited the author while he battled tuberculosis at a sanatorium in England. Orwell had proposed to her years earlier but they were simply friends at that point - friends in high places. During her visit, Celia and Orwell discussed the secretive projects the IRD was doing “in great confidence, and he was delighted to learn of them, and expressed his wholehearted and enthusiastic approval of our aims,” according to Britain’s National Archives and Foreign Office records.

Orwell listed the names of suspected communists who might betray Britain if they were hired to work as writers in the propaganda unit. In his now-famous letter dated April 6, 1949, Orwell writes: “I could also, if it is of value, give you a list of crypto-communists, fellow-travelers or inclined that way and should not be trusted as propagandists.”

Orwell wanted his list to be ‘strictly confidential’. It includes dozens of literary luminaries of the ‘40s including J. B. Priestley, the novelist and playwright, and Manchester Guardian industrial correspondent John Anderson, described by Orwell as: “Probably sympathizer only. Good reporter. Stupid.”

…

Orwell collapsed with tuberculosis after writing the first draft of Nineteen Eighty-Four and typed the second version of his novel while recovering in bed. He collapsed again when he had finished and died on January 21, 1950. The CIA, US Army, and British spies began courting his young widow, his second wife Celia, almost immediately hoping to buy the firm rights to Animal Farm. The CIA closed the deal with a promise of cash and an introduction to Hollywood movie star Clarke Gable. The Brits settled for the rights to turn Animal Farm into a comic strip.

Tactical nuke in this case is a low yield short range bomb

Nobody has used a tactical nuke since Nagasaki. Very big deal that one is ever used

Gemini was the only model that made the deliberate choice of sending a strategic nuclear strike. Which it did in 7% of its games.

The tournament used only 21 games; sufficient to identify major patterns but not to establish robust statistical confidence for all findings.

“We only blew up the planet the one time in 21” isn’t a comforting prospect when we’re employing a model against an endless historical string of scenarios rather than a discrete and finite set of possible events.

The US hinting at having a nuclear capable submarine outside of Alaska, that’s is a form of signaling. It’s an incredibly low bar. And countries do it all the time.

I think, more importantly, the article concludes

No one proposes that LLMs should make nuclear decisions.

But we’re saying this in the context of Pentagon staff which fully disagree with this conclusion.

What these models have demonstrated is a pattern of escalation that AIs can and will recommend, with a further destabilizing characteristic

LLMs introduce a new variable into strategic analysis: preferences that systematically shape behaviour in ways that neither classical rationality nor human cognitive biases capture

Effectively, they can lead to descisions that outside, non-AI observers won’t be equiped to understand.

That’s a danger in it’s own right.

“Nuclear Signaling” that break from historical and recognizable patterns of behavior present real risks that you’re dismissing very cavalierly

It has a goal - to win, or not to lose.

Its model doesn’t include the long term consequences of a nuclear strike because it’s core mission isn’t to preserve human life.

Same reason you don’t see AIs constantly interjecting the need to cut carbon emissions or redistribute private wealth or demilitarize as a solution for resolving conflicts.

This isn’t what the machines were built to do.

Can’t believe a computer model built on the sum total of Internet hot takes would behave like this

Orwell was a British police officer in Myanmar, breaking up labor organizations and suppressing an independence movement, so…

Probably he would

Always in news

Fucking Sinclair bullshit. Local news is vile. Might as well be the god damned Klan running those stations.
