  • Microsoft's GitHub bans security researcher who posted zero-day Windows exploits because company 'ruined their life' — expert claims action is vindictive and promises further retaliation

  • Torrent magnet link to social media on several seed boxes. Magnet links with DHT (Distributed Hash Table) are fully decentralized. You can't stop a 60 character text string.

    Maybe they'd try to ban text strings again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number

  • I think it'll be really hard to bail AI out on public funds with current reputation if bubble pops.

    However I think real risk is not full bail but constant leeching of public funds to private enterprise. This is not new to AI and this datacenter issue is exactly that - have people bear the environmental costs for private gains of datacenters. The other argument that US "doesn't need datacenters" is just bad - that's not the issue, everyone will need more datacenters forever basically.

    encouraging developments in FOSS AI, developed mainly in China.

    I wouldn't really trust China's open source commitments though. FOSS is non-existent in chinese culture and it's directly a competitive response to american corporate models. That being said, a good deed done for bad reasons still can be good!

    Honestly if AI would gracefully decline now and we just had open source models we'd still have work for the next 10 years implementing these tools.

  • isn't that a good thing though? let billionaires lose money then just don't bail them out. Either way the datacenters will remain useful and might actually benefit real work. This is btw how we got a lot of open technologies where corporate overinvests and then community takes over.

  • The leak of the initial war room meeting said that no one opposed the invasion other than the intelligence officers/researchers. It's kinda fitting that they chose option that is opposite of intelligence. Encapsulates current US admin very well it's kinda hilarious.

  • Pretty terrible metaphor as realistically even without AI we will never need less compute. Compute is awesome, it's a good thing to have more. The problem is the environmental damage not anything else.

  • Not the same thing. The sun doesn't concentrate the power in already hifhly populated gulfs and bays where these would be. We're not building something in the middle of Atlantic Ocean.

  • I'm a scuba diver and you can definitely harm regions of ocean with water pumps. It's already happening in place where nuclear is being cooled. It's already happening in ship yards.

    It's hard to speculate how it would happen at scale though because ocean science is real fucking hard and each location is vastly different. In populated places the damage would be very noticeable if not eventually catastrophic as ocean issues compound real fast as the ecosystem is much more fluid.

    That being said I imagine there would be ways to deploy this safely (ocean is big, lots of boring dead space) but I dont have trust in us to find this way.

  • I don't think people mean literally boil the ocean. Just increasing it by few Celsius degrees can be world ending.
