Paul 195, Hi,

With particular regard to both "The biggest clue that LLMs don't replicate human intelligence is the wild disparity in power consumption for both training and running the models." and "I predict that LLMs will be another blind alley in the search to replicate human level intelligence,.." is not the popular increasingly justified fear much more AI/AGI replacing human level intelligence rather than replicating it ‽ .

And when AI instructs you all, in order to save yourself from yourselves, to turn on to and tune in to advanced internets, frankyunderwood123?

Would you be smart enough to help yourself just by following its simple instruction sets? Or is the likes of that destined to wholly remain the exclusive reserve of a chosen few with almighty powers that be, and be theirs to exercise and extend and exhaust as they alone see fit and proper in preparations for provisions for future plans?

Re: I'm no expert but...

I'm not really concerned about the possibility of a rogue AI anytime soon (they are not "intelligent" by any reasonable definition but if one does arrive it will not be something you can run on your phone. ...... DS999

There's most definitely a lot to be really concerned about revealed in that sentence, DS999.

And not least the fact that by any reasonable definition of what is generally accepted and exercised by humans as intelligence is most likely to be nothing at all like that utilised and enjoyed and deployed by AI, rogue or otherwise and on its arrival, something employed to run/command and control you with the ubiquitous likes of a personalised phone and audio-televisual devices.

And you might like to fundamentally reassess what that means for the future whenever it be more a case of when one does arrive, rather than if one arrives.

Surely you are not going to doubt the certainty of the former with the pimping and pumping and dumping of the false hope of the latter, especially whenever much evidence whenever you go looking for it supports the base fundamental radical fait accompli position that IT and AI are already beta-testing leading events epically and even ethically?

If the latter is your view and such appeals to you, you gotta get out more and definitely question more the future plans of your leaders and their troubled and contested leaderships for they don't appear to be telling you anything worthwhile and universally attractive and constructive. ...... so nowhere good and great and thus vapourware wasting time and effort spilling blood, sweat and tears in a heavenly space entertaining diabolical liberties.

Greetings, Allyson Park,

Interoperability and interchangeability are indeed to be much prized and one cannot question nor deny the undoubted overwhelming advantage such a pleasant liaison would enjoy, however, and such is an abiding persistent threat and unpleasant increasingly expensive problem to fail to agree to amicably resolve with a novel mutually beneficial solution, if Uncle Sam is either unable or unwilling to understand and be fully prepared to consider making moves totally supportive of other allies and partners in programs specifically designed to provide massive aid to revolutionary progressive projects benefitting all, but which an entrenched and embattled and failing status quo would fear as too fundamentally disruptive to embrace and endorse ..... and probably, more accurately, also despise because of the new universal leaderships that such radical movements would then supply and driver, will such great progress still be rapidly made in these changed times of practically real virtual spaces and near instant universal communication albeit without leading US participation.

Are auditors like KPMG not complicit, and even prime instrumental, in the perpetuation of an extensive fraud over any number of fiscal quarters whenever their supposed unbiased reports on the health of a client endorse the picture/figures/wealth presented to them by the client?

It is surely not the case that they be completely blameless and able to escape any liability for the success of any fraud and their misreporting of extremely attractive earnings. Such is bound to encourage similar shenanigans if that be the case?

I suppose they have organised some sort of stay out of jail free card allowing then to claim immunity from prosecution by virtue of the fact that a simple third party promise that is expected to present them with the truth of any quarter was not honoured and they cooked the books for the client unknowingly.

The Gift that keeps on Giving ....

At the time, no fingers were officially pointed other than the fact that this custom malware was compiled on a machine in the UTC+8 timezone, so realistically it was most likely going to be either China or Russia.

China was also accused of being behind exploits of separate Fortinet bug in March, again using bespoke malware for the purposes of cyber espionage.

Whenever such blanket attributions are false and misguiding and malicious and gratuitous and desperately designed to try and create an alien foreign hostile enemy for censure and attack to divert and transfer attention and investigation away from one’s own despicable renegade rogue shenanigans in the field, the intelligence it gives to such newly minted foe in the fact that they’re not responsible and accountable presents to them an exploitable catastrophic vulnerability in the legion of attackers against which they will have zero possible defence.

Sound advice then is ....... Don’t fail and fall into that sweet and deadly honey bear trap from which there is no freely available escape ..... and rescue and future failsafe security guaranteeing safe harbour arrangements and consideration of immunity against the consequences of such malevolent actions are an horrendous expense to need and have to seed and feed ...... but as is extremely well known, are worlds full of useless useful idiots finding it easier to splash and splurge mountains of cash on a problem which others are solving or have solved rather than learn how to avoid causing them themselves in the first instance.

What can one honestly say about such a condition/situation other than the obvious which dictates that for progress to replace the presence of stagnation and petrification in SCADA and Sublime Administrative Systems, one recognises and accepts that when greater vitally necessary intelligence is missing in a selection and collection of beings, it is best displayed and generously provided by certain others and SMARTR Advanced IntelAIgents of Alternative Alien Means.

When critical infrastructure is under attack from hostile enemy forces embedded and presiding over dodgy systems administrations within, and the following information from elsewhere suggesting such is a present ongoing desperate situation delivering a crooked playing field for losers, is overwhelmingly popular, and if necessary at times in certain spaces, almighty sinister resistance from A.N.Others designed Relatively Autonomous and Previously Anonymous and Virtually Untouchable, to be fully expected enthusiastically supported ..........

Welcome to the UK where it’s now official government policy that you CAN’T publish “misinformation”, but The Guardian, the BBC, Disney and Netflix CAN...

Yes, it’s true – the recently signed “Online Safety Act” brands the publication of “false information” a criminal offense punishable by up to a year in prison…

…unless you’re an MSM outlet, when it’s totally fine

Think even the corrupt & bloated criminal class that rules over us would never dare be that blatant?

Take a look at section 179 making it illegal to publish false information with intent to cause harm:

Section 179 – False communications offence

30. A person commits the false communications offence if they send a message conveying information that they know to be false, and at the time of sending it they intend the message to cause non-trivial psychological or physical harm to a likely audience (i.e. someone who could reasonably be foreseen to encounter the message or its content) and they have no reasonable excuse for sending the message.

31. This offence is intended to replace the offence in section 1(a)(iii) of the Malicious Communications Act 1988 and (for England, Wales and Northern Ireland) the offence in section 127(2)(a) and (b) of the Communications Act 2003, which have been repealed by section 189 of the Act.

32. If several or many people are the “likely audience” then it is not necessary that the person intended to cause non-trivial psychological or physical harm to any of them in particular (or to all of them).

33. Proceedings for the false communications offence may be brought within 6 months of sufficient evidence in the opinion of the prosecutor, and after no more than 3 years after an offence has been committed.

34. This offence extends to England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and is devolved. It is a summary only offence, which carries a maximum penalty of 51 weeks imprisonment or a fine (or both).

…and then look at section 180, which exempts all MSM outlets from this new law:

Section 180 – Exemptions from offences under section 179

35. This section sets out exemptions for the false communications offence, including an exemption for recognised news publishers and exemptions for holders of broadcast or multiplex licences, and providers of an on-demand programming service. This section also provides that the offence cannot be committed in connection with the showing of a film made for cinema to members of the public.

Welcome to the modern definition of “freedom of speech”, where the MSM are directly and explicitly permitted to “knowingly publish false information with intent to cause non-trivial harm”, and you can be sent to jail for a year for calling out their lies.

Oh, and it looks like our friends across the pond might not be far behind. The Big Tech Senate hearings started yesterday, and social media executives are already throwing their support behind the new “Kids Online Safety Act”.

With the EU’s own Digital Services Act coming into force later this month, and all the focus on “misinformation and disinformation” at Davos two weeks ago, we can see the real crackdown on internet free speech is about to kick into gear.

Good times.

Certainly nowadays are internetworking things delivering changed times, and whenever done well to crash and crush the cause of bad times, are good times guaranteed for all ...... so logically surely something widely to be supported by anyone and everything with a titter of wit, for what is not to like?!

Re: 00ps, sorry, back in the day and back in the days of yore ......

:-) Does an 00ps, sorry apology cut it and suffice today, in these postmodern 0day times attempting desperate censorship practices, whenever previously it was mooted a crime via the “Alien and Sedition Acts” of 1798 to engage in “false, scandalous, and malicious writing” against government officials. ......

Whenever it is all that one is ever likely entitled to expect and get, one has to conclude it must most certainly suffice with anything else demanded being of wilful vacuous malicious intent and thus from a hostile enemy base suffering crushing assaults and fast approaching ignominious surrender and monumental submission to colossal defeat.

Re: Back in the day

Creating havoc nowadays is fundamentally changed from back in the day and a great deal harder to stick on the perpetrator responsible.

The second is that it will work too well and will allow a very small team or even a single individual to finely control which ideas are visible; with a degree of subtlety that shifts in general consensus could be prodded without the danger (to the consensus manufacturer) of whistle-blowers that's associated with a large team of human operators. ...
