We saw in a movie how motorcycles can jump over bridges. We used
AI to learn how to do this. We gave it information, like what
motorcycles we use and the distance we need to jump and so on and it
gave us steps on what we have to do. We practiced a lot and kept
asking questions. We dug holes and filled them with broken glass and fire to practice. 18 of us died in the process.

Good call, AI.

Meta enlisted cricketer Virat Kohli and a roster of content creators to promote its Gen 2 version of the glasses aimed at affluent Indians.

And it turns out affluent Indians behave the exact same as affluent Americans that go around like creeps to record people. In this case, it was to effectively mock and dox them. And it clearly worked, because the influencer gets to hide behind a pseudonym in the article, while the trans person does not.

Really? Because the more I look at it, the worse it gets!

By contrast, unlawful efforts to extract value from closed models raise legitimate concerns. Those concerns should be addressed through targeted legal and commercial frameworks rather than sweeping restrictions on techniques that play an important role in AI innovation.

That bold part describes corporate capture. Mandatory "frameworks" for the companies that can afford to build them out.

And the nationalism is all over. Just Ctrl+F "America". Here is Mozilla telling the government to put AI in classrooms:

America wins the AI era by diffusing it into the workflows of factories, hospitals, farms, classrooms, and main street businesses.

And here is the America First part a bit louder in case you missed it the first time:

The age of AI can be one of prosperity. With the right choices, open weight AI can expand opportunity, strengthen competition, extend American technological leadership...

I'm not familiar with how this federation is supposed to work specifically, but does that mean in theory that you could still contribute to projects that do contain cryptocurrency through a Codeberg account?

I see Gadget Review pop up more and more and I've started liking their content less and less. The editorial guidelines say they use AI right on the page you linked. And if I scroll down and click on a random article , it's AI generated and based on a tweet by CSAM poster Dom Lucre. It's not the first article I've seen that's basically repeating a tweet from some extreme looking Twitter account either.

And Mozilla and Palantir and the Linux Foundation.

This entire letter is rancid. "Governments, invest in us!"

Policymakers have an important opportunity to act. This includes expanding access to compute for startups and researchers, investing in shared training assets (datasets, tools, evaluation frameworks)...

Mandatory "distillation is good when we do it but evil when foreigners do it". Good job Mozilla, my favorite "internet is for everyone" company, sinking into nationalism!

Distillation... reflects a long tradition of learning from, building upon, and improving existing technologies, a tradition that has helped drive innovation since the rise of the open-source software movement. By contrast, unlawful efforts to extract value from closed models raise legitimate concerns .

Ironically, if you visit this site, you'll be hit with a "please disable JavaScript" message at the top. Seems the author understands "their platform, their rules".

They also make some okay points and concessions, before making a terrible suggestion for what Codeberg should do. Apparently they think Codeberg needs to be more soapbox-y, not less.

I think Codeberg made a misstep, but this suggestion is somehow worse.

Jack Dorsey has recently gone full Crypto Bro and this is one of his latest projects. This one is designed to connect people based on their physical location (it's very strange, you can enter groups based on an arbitrary grid that basically overlays a world map) and on its face this seems like a double edged sword at best.

That's because it's from Gadget Review, a website that looks like it uses AI to generate graphics and (at least) augment its articles.

The original article is at least helpfully linked at the top:

Or "Meta Superintelligence safety director"?

(To be clear: screw them for insisting a bot, and not their own stupidity, should "terrify" anybody)

The longer the bubble goes without popping, the worse the pop will be.

Props to everybody here who helped to contribute to that drop just a teeny tiny little bit.
