I have often said it, will repeat it again - school outcome is not a matter of resources, but will. Carrot, stick, blackboard, chalk, some paper, pen and 1952 schoolbooks and well stocked library is enough if the teacher wants to teach, and pupils to learn.
What she describes is not school, but ghetto kindergarten. And well - you get ghetto results. No matter how much resources you pour - the outcome will always be shit. Money can't fix culture, they can only express it more.
The problem is that everyone has rights, no one has obligations. So you can't actually impose discipline in any meaningful way.
Slightly offtopic - one of the strangest things in american media is how it treats suspension as big deal and punishment. As if there will be a kid that will be sad out of 2 more weeks of vacation.
While more than one-third of Unison students have learning disabilities, 17 percent of students at Najya’s high school do.
Those are absurd and outrageous numbers. That have as much connection with reality as her 1619 project.

Pitch this to Brussels - Europe has two problems now - Russia's war on Ukraine and excess of economically unproductive male migrants. Mass deploying your offensive tactics will solve both beautifully.

UNCRACKED/UNBYPASSED DENUVO GAMES There are no uncracked/unbypassed SP Offline denuvo exclusive games as of April 26th, 2026. Well done to all the crackers and bypass developers. Denuvo VR Games have all been cracked/bypassed on May 5th, 2026.

Everybody played along because otherwise they'd face punishment ranging from what we call "cancellation" today, to prison, various degrees of torture, or disappearing in mysterious circumstances.
You are wrong. The great divergence really picked up speed in the late 70s. By that time no one really bothered with oppression seriously. Except probably Ceausescu and Erich Honecker. The whole 80s were spent waiting for the regimes to just die.

I hope I will live to see this psychosis around text generation not being genuine somehow be ridiculed like the disdain for photography came to be ridiculed. And I further hope that the same will happen to the ridiculous anthropomorphization of these tools.
Just show me the prompt then. It has the same information density as the output.

One of the saddest things of Denuvo becoming a joke is that I figured out that the vast majority of the games protected by it were just not worth playing to begin with. Also it looks like indeed AI has had a hand in the recent proper cracks.
For those of you still sailing the high sees - do you even bother to check some of the old releases?

Maybe it would work for mob accounting
I doubt it - the IRS don't start with your fingernails when you make an error.

But software development is fairly validation oriented – code runs or it doesn't.
Sweet summer child. One of the undocumentd laws of programming is that if you have even number of errors you will get program that works mostly ok.
I have had way too many debug sessions that were - here is the error, how the fuck this thing worked at all, ahhh - here is the other error.

Bioweapons are the main threat where defense seems far more costly than offense, which is why it's what people are (correctly) most worried about.
Bioweapons are most dangerous for their wannabe creators. If the Houthis decide to create their own AI enabled bioweapon program it will lead to depopulated Yemen.

You can't protect against stupid. I would love to see an OpenAI agent escape from sandbox I have set up. OpenAI don't give a fuck about opsec. You don't need agi or asi or even LLM to hack stupid.
It is as if when faced with Y2K we said - we don't have to worry about the old code, we need to find a way to stop the arrow of time.
If we have to be worried about current infra - then harden it. It is not hard. Pun intented. Just putting a small rule in the firewalls from which ips the network is allowed to receive connects, or creating intranets would go a long way. Nuclear powerplant doesn't need to accept connections from all of ip4 and 6 spaces.
If we have to be worried about super intelligence that will find unending stream of zero days bugs in the logic, silicone - then air gap it. But it is not an argument for slowing down.
So far we haven't seen new android roots, new iphone and ps5 jailbreaks. We know how to make stuff more secure.
So the AI apocalypse can be averted by hiring two incels and making them type ip table rules here and there?
I agree with your assessment of the infrastructure openness, but why is everyone behaving as if this is immutable and unmovable state of the things. Securing the infrastructure is actually trivial.
If we start living in a situation in which the average ios and ps5 time from version release till jailbreak is <24h I will take the unstoppable hacker hypothesis seriously.
The most obvious threat - that AI could make a breakthrough in prime factoring or discrete logarithms - is somehow absent in the list of AI doomers.

World militaries and terrorist groups have no interest in making sure their drone processor can write poetry, or whatever.
I can only assume that you haven't of the Vogons.
I am in no way specialist on how paperclip maximizers work, but to me the actual capabilities of the models are mostly dressing over the underlying tech. And the fact that they use the inefficient human language is mostly artefact of the google babelfish experiments.
To make drones properly lethal you need meshed swarm coordination, ability to create and adjust tactics on the fly, without much centralization in conditions of severe jamming. So they do have incentive to cram as big models as possible in as limited hardware.
Yes. But I am more worried about UK government sending everyone with anti immigration sentiments using AI powered robots and surveillance tech to reeducation camps, than skynet using terminators to eradicate us all.

By being smarter, more ruthless and more inventive. What your ilk don't understand is that Cyberpunk 2077 is the good future awaiting humanity. Leaving AI under government control means 1984 ... at best.

It is with small context and 20t/s , but 24/7 are a lot of tokens.
In the jungle book there is a scene - Shir Han is dragging Baloo with his tail and this legendary exchange takes place:
Buzzie: "You can let go, Baloo."Baloo: "Are you kidding? There's teeth in the other end!
If we slow down now - we will certainly feel the teeth.
Qwen 3.8 flash next abliterated exists. That can be run albeit slowly on consumer hardware and my hunch is that it is enough of a both foundation and power multiplier - for the mythical beast that is ASI to eventually emerge. The cat is out of the bag and stopping now
Also one of the things the Yuddites seem incapable of doing is figuring out that superintelligence does not mean omnipotence. The laws of physics will still work and some other too. Internet is trivial to be made more secure, not every infrastructure needs to be connected to it anyway.
If the frontier labs slow down - the research will continue. My hunch tells me that we are really far away from the limits of IQ per watt, per weight, per wafer, per harness. All the world militaries and terrorist groups have great interest in making full fledged AI work in the limited hardware a drone possesses.
The datacenter big ASI have always been safe. You just put a lot of semtex in the foundations of the DC with dead man switch. The other one - the fast nimble one that could fit on consumer hardware is the dangerous one. And I don't want it to emerge in Yemen or Sudan.
The question is 2028. 2026 won't be important because the red tribe will hold the presidency and if some of the conservative judges have functioning brains will let themselves be replaced in the lame duck if they lose the senate. But who knows what the job market will be in 2028 and if the effects on AI will be suddenly felt by then.
Personally I am accelerationist. I have been since reading the Lord of Light.
His followers called him Mahasamatman and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the Maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself Sam. He never claimed to be a god. But then, he never claimed not to be a god. Circumstances being what they were, neither admission could be of any benefit. Silence, though, could.
Closeness to sam altman is pure coincidental.
From yesterday you could run the dense qwen 3.8 on 1080ti. The research will continue.

I am sure that the saudi monarch at the time would have gotten Reagan on board with - I need to summary execute shitton of clerics and relatives that are too crazy, will you deploy couple of thousand of marines for peacekeeping while my forces subdue the backlash. Reagan needed KSA for the final breakage of the USSR at the time.
Rural - you know all the people by name that you meet outside of your job in a day.
Suburban - you know half of the people you meet in any given day outside of your job.
Urban - you know minority of the people you meet in a day, most of them are your direct neighbors.
