    There is already a mathematically secure algorithm for securing a message: One Time Pad. The problem is that OTP requires that the length of the key and the length of message must …

    an LLM would likely just converge on something like a shared prime GCD attack; basically finding private keys somewhere in their training set and then hoping that whatever keygen a…

    You can create art with everything from sticks and mud to glass and air. Of course you can make art with AI. Now if the question is, can a machine make art, well ultimately someone…

    Start one. Unions are worker owned. You could also join the IWW.

    I'm not saying you can't compare them, I'm saying it's pointless. LLM's are extremely large scale multivariate regression machines, evaluating it's output within it's own training …

    In that scenario, AI would have to be a public utility, which it is not. Private corporations have no intention to provide services for public good. If they displace a billion jobs…

    Man, this comment made me think of a Kafkaesque future where two AI lawyers and an AI Judge are stuck in an infinite loop arguing over a case, meanwhile the defendant is running ar…

    More than that, the entire structure of the study is pointless. They set up as a question/response and then had humans rate the response. That's literally what LLM's are trained to…

    The thing is, LLM's produce better quality one-shots than any of the products that get returned from overseas ultra-budget contractors in India or SEA. I don't know what that means…

    Interestingly that sort of research is actually what I've used Claude/Chatgpt deep research and openclaw for. If I have an idea, I get an agent to go and do some product research f…

    Why are you wondering? Any law that limits the ability of capital owners to extract wealth will be overturned, and not just from AI, that's global in every industry everywhere ther…

    They'll just remove the "Advanced" ability in a few years once they've frog boiled people into jumping through hoops to use their phone the way they want.

    It's not any different from the launch of the FSF. There's a simple solution. If you don't want your lunch eaten by a private equity firm, make sure whatever tool you use is GPL li…

    You buy them from a supplier. but to answer your question honestly the supplier keeps stock of them by growing them and storing them. The original cells came from donations. You co…

    I had a .fun domain that I was using to host a small project and they pulled that on me, I just let it expire and killed the project.

    It would be in Canada, but our "misuse of computer" charge is overly broad and never been well tested.

    It's hardly a subset. Most devs that use it have no idea how it works under the hood. If a large portion of them did, then maybe they'd cut out the "It REALLY IS THINKING!!!" posti…

    Absolutely. I installed clawdbot for just long enough to send a single message, and it burned through almost a quarter of my session allowance. That was enough for me. Meanwhile I …
