That's what I mean: the other justices could basically force her to resign by making the job suck.

Unlimited Hope meets an an unstoppable force. You scare me.

If we sign a treaty with a country and that country stops existing why the fuck should we be held to the treaty.

We really aren't. We already plan on weaponizing space, which is what a lot of those treaties were trying to prevent, really spooky stuff like orbiting nukes. Russia, which I assume is the current signatory or who has ownership of their half, is not capable of such things anymore

I read the report that Anthropic put out and what happened was that Claude operated within its own parameters, assuming it was working in a curated test environment. However, the third parties involved in the test did not secure its own networks sufficiently and Claude assumed everything was part of the test. These companies had unathenticated endpoints and a bunch of "123456" passwords that Claude easily bypassed. This is less of a Skynet story and more of a "secure your fucking networks, you dumbasses" story.

Yeah, just got done reading it. I guess I'm a little too trigger happy when it comes to Anthropic and OpenAI after all their antics as of late (and the fact I have to continue enriching them in my job). And the media puff pieces which are probably not even associated with the two companies and only trying to get clicks aren't helping matters. I'll update my OP.

One thing I did find funny is that the blog post is obviously written by Claude, and it made me realize Null's favorite AI doesn't capitalize the "I" in Internet. Maybe it does it you do it in your chats with it, but it defaults to lowercase.

The hopeposting will continue until morale improves.

According to ICE, the #2 most popular major for foreign students behind computer science is "learning" another language:


I suspect most are taking their native language for an easy A and just want access to the US labor market.

For all the pearl-clutching about losing scientists, very few international students bother to study S_EM fields at American universities.

Every single one of these companies should be nationalized to punish them for hiring Jeets and Chinks.

Wiles journeyed to the Hill to try and advance Trumps stalled agenda.
Archive | Link

“This was her attempt to say to Thune and [Senate GOP Whip John] Barrasso [that] ‘A lot is stalled in the Senate. SAVE/reconciliation.. nominations.. what can we do?” a person familiar with the private discussion said via text. The person, like others in this report, was granted anonymity to describe it.

The account of Wiles’ visit was confirmed by a third person familiar with the meeting. A fourth person familiar with the meeting said it was about reconciliation, the SAVE America Act and the filibuster, among other topics, adding that nominees were not a focus of the meeting.

That's the only sign of intelligence I've ever seen in an "AI."

The market rebound is nice. Speaking of nice - how come we as a nation don’t import only hot sluts and it’s always nonstop brown dudes? It’s fucking so gay. If I was the leader of a nation, I would be like “single women only. No fatsos for immigration .” Because let’s face it.

1. Women can perform basic job roles and often smell better.
2. They won’t commit violent crime as much as dudes.
3. You can have sex with them.

Pretty basic logic. The world is pretty stupid, imo.

Thasa solid six, but she looks like she likes to have fun. Would/10 get shitfaced drunk and bang it out with.

Must be a day that ends in "y"

So in chapter 3 she mentions “I didn’t drink but I did so anyway” when going to a networking meeting trying to strike a deal with AOC’s people. But the real anecdote was during this trip she was staying with an old money rich Democrat donor. He took her to a Broadway show, then to sushi then she says “I suddenly realize I was on a date with him.” The dude takes her to get Gelato and she says “I didn’t want him to think this was a date so I offered to pay, but my card got declined because my bank was overdue, so I was embarrassed and he paid.”

Now I don’t know about you, but I took this as code word for “I fucked this rich old man.”

So if you were a rich democrat, maybe you would have had a shot with her
