@elonmusk when the people who are supposed to guard against evil participate in it, they should face especially harsh consequences.

This story is actually insane:
• dude drops $2000 on a DJI robot vacuum like a lunatic
• refuses to use the normal app like a peasant
• Sammy Azdoufal fires up Claude to crack the API so he can drive it with an xbox controller
• Claude delivers the goods
• pulls an auth token from their servers, connects successfully
• except the system thinks he controls 7000 vacuums
• checks again
• yep, seven thousand
• DJI built authentication with zero device ownership verification
• any valid token works for any unit on the planet
• Sammy now has eyes inside homes across 24 countries
• live vacuum camera feeds everywhere
• full floor plans from the mapping data
• some guy in germany eating cereal at 3am, unaware his roomba is snitching
• one API call away from being the most informed burglar in history
• all he wanted was to steer his vacuum with a joystick
• does the right thing and reports it
• DJI fixes it in two days
• back to normal life with his stupidly expensive floor cleaner
• IoT companies stay undefeated at shipping garbage security
You will notice that Anthropic is getting sympathy from no one.
They trained their models with trillions of tokens of text and information from all over the web, books, and all kinds of copyrighted material.
While companies like MIS-Anthropic keep their models as proprietary LLMs, any of these Chinese companies release their models as open weights, and are free for anyone with the hardware to use.
Meanwhile, they keep loudly positioning themselves as the "responsible" safety-first company... they basically ate the entire web, then gatekeep the resulting model, + pushed hard for regulation. This has rubbed a lot of people, even the pro AI people, the wrong way.
Closed models created with public data capture the value, create massive economic moats, and invite exactly the kind of regulatory-capture we're seeing. They want to keep exploiting available data while wanting special rules protecting their profits. This paradigm is toxic and corrosive when the technology is so disruptive.
The entire concept of LLM scaling relies on public data, yet the rewards are privatized and monopolized by whoever has the best distribution/compute (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google). This is a recipe for a disaster where the most powerful tech is controlled by a few elites. Open weights are the closest thing we have to pushing back against that.
If you’re a major newspaper that can print something this disgusting, you should be shut down.
Pedophilia is classified as a mental disorder, but that doesn’t mean it should be normalized or accepted.
Pedophiles are a danger to children and to society as a whole. Beware of anyone or anything that tries to portray them sympathetically or excuse the desires they have toward children.
🇬🇧 Liz Truss just said X completely revolutionized Britain by exposing the grooming gangs scandal that the mainstream media tried to bury for years.
Tens of thousands of British girls as young as 11 were groomed, raped, and tortured by gangs, and the press covered it up.
X brought the truth out.
