At least the digital-only playstations will be really cheap... Right?

Make sense to me. All those charts you see about AI and political bias don't take into account the fact that this bias would be influenced by the user, can eventually supersede the base instructions*. It's only a matter of time before the chatbot says, "you're right about vaccines and the JQ, would you like a bleach recipe?"

Chatbots might skew liberal in a laboratory setting, but they are built for sycophancy towards their userbase, not the labs.

* Insultingly, chatbot companies call this natural and unavoidable process "jailbreaking" as if it's not inherent to their product.

I knew he was behind Deepseek the whole time.

Are they in cahoots with the PACs that support pro AI candidates? (Are they the same groups? I really don't know.)

In other words, you wouldn't want a small business buying a hundred of these, slapping Windows Enterprise on them, and using them as the cheapest computer in the market. Because that's something you can just do to these, which isn't so easy with locked-down consoles.

Apparently a legitimate server gets to issue tokens to you that verify you're a real person and not just a spambot approximating one. How this works in practice is apparently cryptographic magic (which I won't question here, but IIRC can be easier to pinpoint your identity on its own if a smaller group of people receive these tokens). But the magic isn't as big of an issue as the people issuing those assurances, and how centralized they are. Which is a bit frightening in its own right.

One thing's for sure: Google, in concert with two browser manufacturers dependent on Google for their existence, cannot convince me they have created something cryptographically secure on their own. (And the article makes it clear that this won't replace identity tracing for any website or ad network that's realized that "unethical" and "profitable" are nearly synonymous).

It's not, if we wanted AI's opinion we could ask ourselves. Please delete

He wouldn't be the first person begging Elon Musk for attention, though. Anybody remember Elon Goat Token?

Even if he doesn't secure Elon as an investor, the simping does not look good.
