Sounds about right.

OpenAI wants teachers and profs to foist their work off on ChatGPT

Arkitekt

What? The company that was built on stealing information to train its models wants people to willingly give it their information to train their models??

Shocking.

Bypassing AI guardrails is so easy a script kiddie can do it

Arkitekt

AI guardrails are meant only to be a bare minimum effort to convince the public they are "trying"... they WANT them circumvented.

As Larry Ellison bets the farm, Oracle says it loves AI-written code, just not in OpenJDK

Also sad and not surprising is how gullible and easily manipulated the general public are, trained like monkeys to see EVERYTHING through a political lens and completely devoid of common sense.

Europe slaps AliExpress with €550 million fine for selling dodgy goods

Arkitekt

Re: Buyer beware - NOT!

If you need your government to do all that for you, you've already lost.

Arkitekt

Re: Cured Pork Perspective

Not sarcasm. Truth.

Natural consequences.

Arkitekt

Re: AliExpress … selling dodgy goods

Europe isnt interested in encouraging their citizens to be smarter shoppers, or smarter anything for that matter. They only care about control. Of their citizens, and apparently those around the world.

Arkitekt

Eurpoe......

SMH. So the unsmart people that bought the goods in the first place expecting high quality stuff bear no responsibility.

What is going on in that continent? Is there something in the water??

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

AI customers are coming around to the idea that small is beautiful

Arkitekt

Are they though?

This sounds like more cope than reality... perhaps in theory that is the case, but people dont really even understand what AI or how to best use it, so I doubt size even enters the equation. All they know is price.

Brown says AI make student brain no work good, teacher should help use it better

Arkitekt

Ummm..... I think we all already knew that. Dont need some ivy league university study to tell me this, given I could've told them this a year ago...

Re: Starmer is a traitor

Arkitekt

UK loves their oppression and erosion of freedoms...

Freedom isnt safe. But it IS worth the risks. Be better parents, humans, and citizens, and you wouldn't have the problems you have.

Difference being... Blackberries are infinitely more useful.

AI code accelerates production failures and spending, study finds

Arkitekt

Surprise!

What? You mean that the classic universal truth that everything in software is a trade-off still holds true when AI is involved?

There are no magic bullets in software. Sorry kids. You've till have to put in the work to do things right or it will cost more in the future.

I'm astonished.

OpenAI exec says company hopes to burn $50B of somebody else's money on compute this year

Somebody didnt pay attention in econ or history... but your commitment to mainstream media talking points is impressive.

Arkitekt

Even a child can see this model is wholly unsustainable (and 1000% wasteful).

At this point, if investors are dumb enough to pour money into this bubble without any regard to history, they deserve what they get.

Yet another experiment proves it's too damn simple to poison large language models

Arkitekt

That's alot of words, and simply proves the point of this article. People dont know anything about this tool they so willingly give so much credence and trust.

Arkitekt

Normies using AI is no different than letting 10-year-old behind the wheel of a supercar with zero instruction.

Anthropic won't own MCP 'design flaw' putting 200K servers at risk, researchers say

Arkitekt

Growing void between enterprise and frontier AI puts open weights models in the spotlight

The models have gotten better.

If an AI agent screws up while running your business, there's nobody to sue

Arkitekt

Start holding the AI companies responsible.

We have people using these agentic products without any knowledge of how to do it properly, or any knowledge of what the AI will do. While I dont typically fall into the category of holding a company responsible for how people use their products, AI agents are a different beast. Until these companies start deploying these products responsibly, they should shoulder that burden.
