There's a piece from Anthropic making the rounds stating they "disrupted" an "AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign". Any meat on those bones or is it just the usual critihype?

[…] Curio’s Grok, an anthropomorphic rocket with a removable speaker, is also somewhat opaque about its underlying tech, though its privacy policy mentions sending data to OpenAI and Perplexity. (No relation to xAI’s Grok — or not exactly; while it’s not powered by Elon Musk’s chatbot, its voice was provided by the musician Claire “Grimes” Boucher, Musk’s former romantic partner.)

whatcha think? Is an upcoming gonzo horror/action flick really about Rationalists, or are the creators blissfully unaware those people even exist?

There was a ton of panic here in Sweden too. Specifically I heard of entities like councils and public boards like unemployment who were braced for a ton of data deletion requests that had to be fixed within 24 hours or something like otherwise huge legal fees. AFAIK nothing like that happened.

To be clear, I can't edit Wikipedia to save my life. Editor in this case was Elestrophe.

I want to keep bots from scraping my content because I don't want to feed the slop machine.

You want to keep bots from scraping your content because you're afraid it's gonna learn how to take over the world.

We are not the same.

None of those are well defined "problems". An entire applied research field is not a "problem" akin to other items on this list lik P vs NP.

The cookie popups are basically malicious compliance.

But many yanks (even geeks) have an instinctive dislike of anything that smacks of government regulation. They're conditioned to see corporations as good, or rather, that competition between corporations will always lead to good outcomes, and that anything that disrupts that competition as bad.

just had some onboarding training about the GDPR and I really don't get US "privacy activists" disdainful view of it. It puts the individual before corporations. Sad if it's atttempted to be gutted

Guys, the reason we don't see working AI out in the world is because all the "frontier AI labs" are keeping the good stuff for themselves!! It's totally not that this shit doesn't work

How old is this utterance (the source link doesn't work for me). From context it looks like just after Charlie Kirk got freeze peached.
