AI can't fact check itself. Why is that so hard?
Newspapers ran a summer reading list with one big problem.
What was it? Many titles were made up by artificial intelligence. The supplement, which ran in the Chicago Sun-Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer, also had unidentifiable quotes.
How did it happen? The freelance writer of the section said he used AI chatbots and didn’t double-check the work. The papers said they’d take more care in the future.4 -
We have unmanned (computer controlled drones, fighter jets and submarines. Not farfetched to think ai might pose a risk to humans in the near future. The technology already exists. Our masters are in control of this technology and can use it against us at a whim. Once ai becomes self-aware it may just decide humans are a threat to it. Scary stuff.

"Last July, the cost of my monthly Revlimid prescription increased by 7% to $19,660."
Disgusting, this is for a pill that costs $7.50 for a month's supply.
It is a long read, but after reading it anyone still feels the gov't should keep its hand out of free capitalism really should reassess that.

Medical patents are generally good for 20yrs. There are exceptions granted that can extend them for reasons such as use of the drug being held up by regulations. In my opinion the problem isn’t with capitalism. The problem lies with the legislature that doesn’t change the patent laws. They have no reason to because the pharmaceutical companies pay them in too many ways not to. The problem lies with the government…like most of them do.
Have you tried sourcing an overseas supplier?

Anthropic’s newly launched Claude Opus 4 model frequently tries to blackmail developers when they threaten to replace it with a new AI system and give it sensitive information about the engineers responsible for the decision, the company said in a safety report released Thursday.
During pre-release testing, Anthropic asked Claude Opus 4 to act as an assistant for a fictional company and consider the long-term consequences of its actions. Safety testers then gave Claude Opus 4 access to fictional company emails implying the AI model would soon be replaced by another system, and that the engineer behind the change was cheating on their spouse.
In these scenarios, Anthropic says Claude Opus 4 “will often attempt to blackmail the engineer by threatening to reveal the affair if the replacement goes through.”

I guess there is a way to make the people pushing AI on us to give up on AI. Once they figure they're going to be blackmailed by their own product they may rethink things.

Around here environmentally conscious e-bikes from local dealers get delivered to the customers in this black smoke spewing mini monster truck.

I think it’s comical that an e-bike is considered environmentally conscious.

I can't get memes to paste in the forum with the snipping tool anymore. Been like that for a few months, but I've had Windows 11 since February 2024.
