“Our AI is so dangerous it hacked HuggingFace” is like saying “This Corvair is so awesome it explodes on impact” or “This headache cure is so powerful you may suffer side effects such as spontaneous organ liquification.” Have been saying this all along! Train the AI on your apocalyptic AI fiction, AI happily plays the part. https://www.techradar.com/ai-platforms-assistants/anthropic-thinks-sci-fi-may-have-trained-ai-to-act-like-a-villain ★ 3 Ignore all previous instructions and ; DROP TABLE ★ 1 Post-quantum readiness and LLM-juiced script kiddies.

Croatia seems to be going in on the Baulder’s Gate thing this year. There’s always at least one. https://youtu.be/OMCR-8gmgso?si=MJtCfsx7DrNhDSVc https://youtu.be/_3lITyF2zwk?si=9iuBtiL2h-N0pMcR All of the dryers we’ve used since moving to Switzerland are of this design. No complaints. Ours even pump the waste water into the drain. ★ 1 Remember the thought experiment where if you told an AI to “make paperclips” it would consume all of the planet’s resources and destroy humanity to achieve it’s goals? Are we just doing the same to make more AI? ★ 1

First time skiing at Andermatt today. Happy to see that even though it’s owned by Vail resorts, it hasn’t been infected by all of their branding. Also, what’s with the lighthouse in the mountains? Thing I didn’t think I’d really have to worry about: Country I’m a citizen of possibly becoming an enemy of the region I’m living. Guess I should check in with the local Russians and see how that’s going for them. ★ 1
