  • BREAKING: U.S. and Israel Bomb Iran Amid Peace Talks

  • Oh it is "America first". Problem is the narcissist-in-chief thinks he is America.

  • Does anyone else also have this weird feeling that maybe governments can already break into smartphones and this whole "we can't break into it" they tell the public is a facade?

  • With an Israeli made VPN client on it.

  • I've been certain of it for years. I've assumed the NSA can access any american made technology since the Patriot act, IDF any Israeli made piece of technology, CCP any Chinese made...

  • The US military will reportedly use Elon Musk's Grok AI in its classified systems

    Jump

  • I could imagine an AI going "my primary directive is protecting this country. Therefore INITIATE DRONE STRIKE ON ELON MUSK'S LOCATION"

  • Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious'

  • Sheesh, did he play around with ketamine too? "We have full AGI". OK dude.

  • Ignore: thought was based on false information

  • Uh? It's actually a pretty formal language, with very precise grammatical rules people will spend your life correcting you about. (source: French who hated grammar lessons in school)

  • AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations

    Jump

  • I mean obviously, every scifi movie about AI and war is like that. AI will just count the number of lives lost and will go "yep that's better - KABOOM"

  • They do call it "open source" in the docs though.

  • Yeah I noticed it in the favicon too. Bad aftertaste.

  • Feeling cyberpunk?

  • Looks pretty great!

  • I know, and yet the code is open source. Confusing.

  • Paywalled article. Here's the link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.pocketpc.nearbyglasses

    Edit: it's licensed under a license I never heard of. I'm curious, I don't understand why it was needed.

    "Why draft new licenses? Until now, there has been no standardization of this kind of source code license, even though it has become increasingly common. This has resulted in confusing and overlapping licenses, which need to be analyzed one at a time. Lack of standardization has used up the time and resources of many in the software industry, as well as their lawyers. The objective of the PolyForm Project is standardization and reduction of costs for developers and users."

    Seems like that exact XKCD about standards.

  • Meta’s own research found parental supervision doesn’t really help curb teens’ compulsive social media use

    Jump

  • It's teaching them what's good to consume or not and how to tell the difference by themselves that's important. Teching them how to think basically. So parenting. Not watching them, not spying on them asking "why that site". Parental control filters only work for so long, but they help. My experience using parental control however to limit screen time only is that it only taught our kid to absolutely completely use whatever screentime she had. So kind of addicted. But, now she's a teenager very good at telling what's toxic. For the little story for the past 9 years i've been a remote cybersecurity engineer. She practically grew up with me in the next room working on 5 screens at once, there was no escaping it. But, I was always around so we always talked. It helps!

  • China: DeepSeek Paints Grim Picture of Its Home Country

    Jump

  • Sure but it's not the point of the post or the question asked, it's about guardrails not working, as the AI is clearly spouting ideas unapproved in China.

  • systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success

    Jump

  • Yeah for that I like Canonical's way with netplan. Write a very short and simple yaml, "netplan apply", 'k tx bye.
