Just because AI is not actual artificial intelligence doesn't mean that the thing people refer to doesn't exist. Misnamed, yes, but also existing. Also, objectivity is overrated, there is plenty of unambiguous cases and the existence of any ambiguity does not prevent us from being for or against. Protesting data centers sure sounds like a good idea too though!

I feel like one shouldn't conflate liking something with choosing something. You definitely have a point that consumers can stop things. If enough consumers dislike something enough, it will likely fail. Like you point out though, it was still companies that made the choice to go for cloud gaming. They were just wrong about it being profitable as far as I can tell.

I was part of it and I love digital games (gimme drm free), still doesn't mean I actually chose things to go this way!

An interesting example is brought up by Andreas Malm in his book "Fossil Capital". He explains how consumers didn't chose for the manufacturing of electronics and lots of other things to move to China. Companies moved their manufacturing there because it was cheaper and would increase their profits. Now the choice for many consumers is basically to buy Chinese-made or not buy at all. I know since I actually tried a few years ago!

I just wanted to add that it's also really stupid to claim that "consumers chose thing" because companies did it since they found it more profitable. Companies do many things people don't actively want (or even dislike) for profit.

Yeah exactly, every time I bring this up (yes I'm definitely fun at parties, why do you ask?) I struggle to remember the details of the story and then once I do recall it, observe how the person in telling it to is swiftly becoming more confused by the second haha

I can't believe that this is how I find the most pedagogical counterexample I've ever seen to true justified belief being knowledge hahaha

I had this issue yesterday and today images work fine again, no idea what happened. I use Jerboa

Indonesian is red at the top while Polish is red at the bottom, so the flag is Polish for sure!

Ah thanks, I didn't find their paper but you lead me on the correct path to find some nice info on their blog! Great idea with the keys they had, it's good that we will be able to verify if their claims are true in the future at least. The bugs that were solved already did indeed seem cool, but they write the blog in a slightly odd day where I didn't find the confirmation that those were also zero-day vulnerabilities. Either way, we should get plenty of confirmation with the keys. Thanks for the details!

I think it's twice per day between Entroncamento and Badajoz too, not sure if there are other cross border connections. But maybe they'll finish the direct connection between Lisbon and Madrid some day! 🤞

I'm always a little picky with AI news, so I'm curious how much is actually confirmed to be true. I only did a little bit of digging, but it seems that all of Mythos' capabilities are simply claimed by Anthropic and not verified? I also couldn't find information about any new vulnerabilities they say it managed to find, it only found already discovered and patched ones as far as I can tell...?

The claim seems to be that it found them looking at old unpatched code and without connection to the internet and without being "explicitly" trained to find them. To me this sound like it was implicitly trained to find them since they were known about at the time of training, but I don't know this for sure. It sure does feel a lot like marketing and very little like facts at this time!

Not sure if Portugal is the type of European country you imagine, but last month on a train I sat one row ahead of a child that would excidetly exclaim "another train!" (in Portuguese) every time one passed outside the window. Adorable!
