@dead_baseball@bencasnocha@ericschmidt Sounds to me like your perspective of AI is that it will kill jobs. Mine is that it will change them. But I suppose each view is valid, short term yeah jobs will die. And long term I’d think they are recreated around AI efficiency and societal needs.
@dead_baseball@bencasnocha@ericschmidt And yet, AI is a large part of the future and jobs will change significantly because of this. What’s he supposed to do, ignore reality?
Orange County Court says Kars4Kids can no longer run its jingle ads in California, after a lawsuit alleging that donations do not go to underprivileged CA kids but instead to funding trips to Israel for Orthodox Jewish 17/18yos in New York and New Jersey.
@avidseries ~Affirmative. Dissident / AF / isolationist right. Former maga. Most of your tweets are simple racial realism and pointing out dumb posts for what they are. Hard to disagree w that & doubt it’s rare - it’s just that disagreement is more likely to result in a post
Fast, cheap AI-assisted decompilation of binary code is here. Which means code secrecy is dead.
Decompilers in themselves are not a new technology. Security researchers have employed them for years to analyze compiled malware. There's been some limited use by others, notably by hobbyists decompiling abandonware games. But there were a couple of issues that prevented this from becoming common practice.
One is simply that running decompilers was difficult. It wasn't as simple as feed in binary, get out source; it needed a person with specialist skills prepared to do spelunking through wildernesses of machine code and object formats. The other problem was that decompilation didn't give you anything like the explanatory comments that had been in the original code, so you could easily wind up with code that you could read without being able to understand or modify it.
Now large language models are busily smashing both of those barriers flat. They're better at the kind of detail analysis required to run the human side of a decompilation than humans are. More importantly, in the process of decompiling code, they rather automatically build a global model of how it works that can easily be expressed by high quality comments in the extracted code. All you have to do, basically, is ask for the comments.
I'm going to reinforce that latter point because it may not be obvious how good LLMs are at this, and how much better they're going to get. When they decompile code and comment it for you, they're not just working from that one piece of code you have put in front of them - they'll have in their training set hundreds, possibly thousands of pieces of code similar to it and with comments. This will give them superhuman levels of insight not just into what it does at the microlevel, but what it means to the humans who wrote it, and what technical assumptions it's embodying.
Compilation no longer guards your secrets. Or, to put it more precisely the expected time span in which you can still count on it to obscure them is measured in months. Possibly weeks.
What does this mean?
It means you're in an open-source world now. All it's going to take for anybody to bust your proprietary IP open is care enough to spend tokens on the analysis.
You will maximize your chances of survival as a software business if you get out ahead of this rather than trying to fight it.
This isn't exactly the way I expected open source to win. But, you know, I'll take it. Good enough.
I like to believe Trump is bluffing here, in a last ditch effort to get them to negotiate. I say this, because doing so would be an act of lunacy and one of the most depraved acts any president has committed. I'm not a pro-Iran person. I'm not championing the whole Muslim-Christian alliance that was so popular on here. I'm not even someone rambling about how everything is a war crime and about international law. Blowing up the electrical grid of a nation and it's infrastructure while not having been attacked first is something unfathomable.
The civilian death toll after destroying the power grid of a nation and their bridges and infrastructure would be staggering. An act of a mad man.
He has to be bluffing. It's far too insane.
'People who spent 30 years living in Syria before they spent 3 in Germany are now too rooted in Germany to ever return to Syria, despite having never worked a single day and not speaking a word of German,' says the headhunter who posed with severed heads before becoming President of Syria.
Studies like this are so incredibly creepy. They frame sexual the refusal of European women to breed with hostile, invading men as some kind of problem - like, "why would highly educated German women not want to have sex with men who a disproportionately more inclined toward sexual violence and regressive religious ideologies, and who come from the most dysfunctional places on earth where women are regularly beaten or killed? We must fix this to ensure Germans are wiped out."
It's as though they're studying this in preparation for some 'Dysgenics Program'.
Note: the preference of female 'refugees' doesn't seem to be studied... interesting 🤔
This needs to become illegal. It is data collection + intimidation of existing employees + stock market manipulation + HR pretending to be working. Literally nothing is good about it and it damages the social fabric a lot.
If you’re against the Iran War but you keep voting for the party that started it, then you are a ridiculous subhuman goy.
You voted for Mass Deportations and “No New Wars.” Instead, you got no mass deportations and a new war.
Trump has officially lost it, and if he moves forward with this plan, it will be the end of his presidency.
It’s time to calla spade a spade. This entire Iran War has been a complete dumpster fire for Trump and Israel.
Trump claims military superiority yet the strait of Hormuz is still closed and Israel is being hammered every day with missiles. His claims of “completely destroying Iran’s military capabilities” is complete garbage
If US troops are sent in for a ground invasion they will be slaughtered. There is logistically no way for these marines to stay safe in this modern age of drone warfare.
This is honestly one of the most dangerous times in recent history. If Trump naively moves forward this, the US losses will be astounding and it would cripple the world economy
Israel will become desperate and they will look at a nuclear option as their only way to victory. Absolutely horrible that Trump is gambling the world’s future because of his ego and lack of understanding
You have to understand that this is Ben's entire purpose. This is what a decade of him building up the trust of well meaning conservatives was for. This moment. To shill for Israeli interests when it matters most.
He doesn't give a damn about America, the American people, or the "browning of America" (his words) he cares about his ethnic homeland and sending your kids and your tax dollars to protect it.
He was a college student studying information systems who volunteered in the reserve. He probably had a bright future. He likely believed the pervasive lies Americans are fed from birth that joining the US military means "serving your country" and "defending freedom." What it really means is fighting barbaric imperialist wars and taking away life and freedom from others. The bitter truth that those who loved him won't have an easy time facing is that no ordinary American will be freer or safer for his loss. He died for "Israel" and for the Epstein vampire class — none of whose children have rushed to volunteer in Trump's war of murder and aggression.
They are just carpet bombing a place more dense and crowded than New York City.
They aren’t even attempting to explain the justification. The whole world knows it’s not justified.
