  • Wish we'd do this to academics more often. Give them enough to live on, no responsibilities, and beat anyone who tries to socialize with them with a big stick.

  • (page 53) The next line of that interview quote:

    Eight of us managed to do it. The next time we attacked, we could jump.

    And the footnote:

    Interview with ISWAP Commander-7, 2025. While this may seem extreme, the episode reflects a pattern evident across other interviews, in which the group absorbed heavy casualties during dangerous experimentation and training.

    It sure is wild; but humans aren't the expensive thing for Boko Haram I guess?

  • specialists worked side-by-side with the tools, consulting the chatbot in direct support of technical work, as in the recounted case of a bombmaker who iteratively refined new device designs with AI, returning to the laptop for troubleshooting when something was not working or needed clarification.

    Regarding the first usage, both factions seize a significant part of their weaponry, military equipment, and ammunition from the Nigerian military. Struggling to operate some of the loot, ISWAP’s leader al-Barnawi stated in a letter to the Islamic State back in 2017: “I am reminded of a funny story when about a year ago, we seized Dragunov rifles as war spoils and we had to make them work so we could use them. We checked many handbooks and specialized videos on this technical issue, but we eventually dropped it in despair after all our attempts failed.”88 This account contrasts with how these situations are handled and resolved today, where “we take all of the equipment back to the camp and the AI unit tells us how to use and shoot with it.”

    Perhaps not surprising that it performs well on these sorts of tasks, despite what they say the military is a big buyer....

  • This community isn't your personal adviser

    Jump

  • I mean; the mechanics ensure that it kinda is. Are these good mechanics?

    This is a major 'upside' to centrally controlled spaces, they are tricky to exploit in several ways. I don't think that maintaining a open community with both:

    • Easy exploits;
    • Social norms against using them;

    is effective.

    Either the exploitation is a feature that we accept, or we should rework the feature. Behavior is downstream of systems. How should we change the delete-post system?

    So, there’s reasons why “ethical investing” doesn’t work well in practice

    Could you say a bit more on this?

    Jump

  • While I love the sentiment; I'm reading this decision by S&P as just about not bending their rules. AI is not thriving fast/convincingly enough to break tradition of big finance; I don't think that makes S&P an ally. And I suspect this means they'll just be joining a bit later.

  • I am extremely fatigued with the constant negativity

    Jump

  • Lots of folks say to cut news intake (however it is happening). This is correct. Everyone suggesting you pick up other things, very wise.

    If you are burned out of all these topics entirely, this is probably enough/right. If you still, for whatever reason, wish to engage with the unending crisis:

    • Sit down and prioritize. Pick a narrow issue, find good sources on Precisely that, and read/engage with only things that fit. RSS feeds support keyword filters.
    • Find longform content related to what you care about. Books, long podcasts, etc. Shortform only has time to make you panic. Longform can actually give nuance, solutions, and an honest accounting of the situation (it doesn't always. But you have a chance.)
