Okay! Bye!

The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced that it is suing the social media company X, accusing it of spreading disinformation.

After Reporters Without Borders, or RSF, discovered that it was the target of a disinformation campaign this past summer, the Paris-based group filed 10 reports of policy violations with X, formerly known as Twitter.

Since none of the posts in question have been removed, RSF opted to sue the company in French courts “for its complicity in disseminating false information, misrepresentation and identity theft,” the group said in a statement.

“The economics are likely to be grim,” Marcus wrote on his Substack. “Sky high valuation of companies like OpenAI and Microsoft are largely based on the notion that LLMs will, with continued scaling, become artificial general intelligence.”

“As I have always warned,” he added, “that’s just a fantasy.”

lol

I love that I knew this conversation was going to happen as soon as I read the article.

And, yes.

Is this news for someone?

I’d say this is stupid as shit but no one’s ever listened yet.

This will be a day long remembered. It has seen the end of notepad . . and will soon see the end of text entry itself.

*ohhshh . . pahhhh*

Load up on guns, bring your friends.

Wow where’d they get that jenius branding idea, I wonder.

Microsoft. Never changes.

Just missing the evil group cackle.

Wait wait wait - you’re saying Zuck chose evil instead of good??

Huh. Well I’ll be.

Shock jocks don’t typically include research though, or extensive background information, or very detailed descriptions.

Are there any shock jocks still out there? Who listens to drive time radio?

It’s interesting to think how deep they’ve sunk into AI such that it may support the “growth mindset” psychobabble and that it may hose them for years.

Not that they won’t be able to weather it, just that it’ll take a bite out of them which was totally avoidable.

Man, quantum computers has been about-to-break-encryption since the 90s. The hype never ends, just a new crop of people first hear it then figure out it’s bullshit.

As soon as I read that, years ago, I thought “Well Dropbox. That was a very poor choice.”

I haven’t considered it since.

“You can use it with Dropbox!” they say.

Yeah, nah.

Was Condi Rice one of them?

The Video

It is pretty neat. Plus the kind of music-box music in the background is . . somehow appropriate for floating in space.

Okay

Welp. Can’t defend that.
