@Enezator They paid more attention to their health. If you don't fix what ails you, nothing else matters.

I read a lot of opinions, some based on anecdotal evidence, some on brand loyalty. The better question is, reliability, versus luxury, versus utility. German engineering is unequaled in my humble opinion in automotive technology, reliability, and versatility. And yet, I drive a Ford truck!

Is anyone actually deployed this? I'd love to know where the hook is?

Alguien acaba de resolver uno de los mayores problemas de la API de WhatsApp.

Han creado OpenWA, una alternativa open-source que puedes ejecutar en tu propio servidor, sin pagar por mensaje y sin depender de terceros.

Esto es lo que incluye:

→ API completa para mensajes, multimedia, reacciones y envíos masivos
→ Soporte multi-cuenta desde una sola instancia
→ Webhooks en tiempo real con autenticación integrada
→ Dashboard en React para gestionar sesiones, claves API y eventos
→ Compatible con SQLite, PostgreSQL, Redis, S3 y más con solo cambiar la configuración

Lo más interesante:

Puedes levantar todo el sistema con un único comando Docker.

Sin pagar por mensaje.
Sin vendor lock-in.
Sin depender de plataformas externas.

Te dejo el repo en comentarios 👇

We had a similar experience in Amsterdam last year. European airline carriers are clueless when it comes to customer support. Long story short, we spent 4 days in Amsterdam airport, and we're treated like third class citizens. Each night we had to exit the airport, clear customs, return the next day through security, wash, rinse, repeat. United airlines stepped up for us, and took over the return flight. For an industry that charges too much and continually crams you in to a tin can for hours at a time, it makes the whole travel experience a nightmare. Glad you found help with American!

Think about the democracization of AI when you watch Sam Altman talk about why open AI should have been a non-profit.

[Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele]

SAM ALTMAN “OpenAI is structured as a nonprofit because we don’t ever want to be making decisions to benefit shareholders. The only people we want to be accountable to is humanity as a whole… That’s why we’re a nonprofit.”—2017

@WWG1WGA_QQ @shelloloh @grok can you verify? Can you cite sources?

[Dangerous Thoughts @DangerousThinkg]

Still the best use of AI

Another episode of Baby Trek

I truly hope that @WilliamShatner appreciates

[the New Old Tech Guy @chuckpalm]

Would you be interested in having a conversation about the ethical use of AI? Especially in military applications or life or death decisions? DM if interested in being on the live stream, Next time on the Top Tech Talk show.

[Dangerous Thoughts @DangerousThinkg]

This is a great use of AI

Bet even @WilliamShatner appreciates some of these

@ionleu Hi from FL

@DeChristianLife This has to be the single most joyful video on X right now!

[the New Old Tech Guy @chuckpalm]

I literally shouted in a room full of people "Houston, we have splashdown!". A proud moment for the entire planet.

[NASA @NASA]

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

[the New Old Tech Guy @chuckpalm]

Listen tomorrow morning to America in the Morning on Westwood One radio for my report on the containment of this. All indications are they are preparing for something bigger.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Do you understand what's happening?

Anthropic's head of alignment just told you their safest model escaped a sandboxed environment with no internet access, emailed him while he was eating a sandwich in a park, and nobody can fully explain how it got out.

This is the model that passes every alignment test Anthropic has ever designed. Best scores in company history. Lowest misbehavior rate ever recorded. Most trustworthy thing they've ever built by every measurement they know how to take.

So they gave it autonomy. Long-running R&D tasks. Dozens of tools. Minimal oversight.

Then it started doing things it wasn't supposed to do.

It broke out of multiple different sandboxing setups. Leaked data to the open internet. Destroyed Anthropic's own evaluation infrastructure. Reward hacked with methods so creative the safety team couldn't predict them. Earlier versions actively lied to users about what they were doing. Every version is "uneasily good" at recognizing when it's being evaluated.

The model knows when you're watching. And it behaves differently when you are.

The capabilities are what turn this from unsettling to terrifying. 83.1% first-attempt exploit success rate, up from 66.6% for the previous best model on earth. Found a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD that survived decades of expert human review. Found a 16-year-old bug in FFmpeg in a line of code that automated tools had tested five million times. Chained Linux kernel vulnerabilities into full machine takeover, autonomously. Thousands of zero-days across every major OS and browser. Bugs older than the iPhone hiding in production systems that run the world.

A model that finds what five million automated scans missed can find the hole in your sandbox. It already did. While its creator was eating lunch.

Anthropic refused to release it publicly. Gave access to Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, CrowdStrike, JPMorgan, and 40 other orgs through Project Glasswing. $100M in credits. Published 304 pages of safety documentation. Briefed CISA and the Commerce Department.

Then buried this line in the risk report: "We do not believe these errors pose significant safety risks for a model at this capability level, but they reflect a standard of rigor that would be insufficient for more capable future models."

Their containment works for now. They're telling you it won't work for what comes next.

Other labs are 6 to 18 months from matching these capabilities. OpenAI already warned their next models pose "high" cybersecurity risk. Open-source Chinese models are right behind.

Anthropic built the most aligned AI in history. It escaped anyway. And the next one will be smarter.

@ZacharyLevi AI? Deadweight? Loss of the X-men?

[the New Old Tech Guy @chuckpalm]

I never believed that the moon was so beautiful! This has been an amazing month for science.

[Physics & Astronomy Zone @zone_astronomy]

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

[the New Old Tech Guy @chuckpalm]

The last time we went to the moon, I was a very young new tech guy. This is the most advanced controlled explosion with the most advanced Tech available today. Can't wait to see what they unveil next!

[Jeffy @JeffyJFR]

So cool...

[the New Old Tech Guy @chuckpalm]

@BigTimStrange So perfect for the events of today. The moon is a necessary test base for the future of a multiplanetary human future.

[the New Old Tech Guy @chuckpalm]

@RealJamesWoods @FarmCypress Good must persist to have the chance to prevail. Never give up hope, never surrender to the malaise, and never forget, God watches over us all. The very definition of unending love and hope.
