meanwhile more and more public schools roll out cameras and surveiled environments for the students
when those students enter the workforce, they expect the surveilance. they grew up under chat control so they're used to it. get with the times to live and die another day
And how camera is supposed to prevent shooter from firing bullets? You think like shooter cares if they are filmed or not? If anything it will encourage them to shoot because there will be more permanent record of their actions…
The early internet was naive. It turned out fine because people mostly (mostly!) behaved. We don’t live in that world anymore; in 2025, “early internet vibes” are just fantasies. Lots of motivated attackers are actively working to find vulnerabilities in AI systems, and this is a gift to them.
I actually agree, I think it's exciting technology and letting it loose is the best way to learn its limits.
My comment was really to point out the hypocrisy of OpenAI / Anthropic / et al in pushing for regulation. Either the tech is dangerous and its development and use needs to be heavily restricted, or its not and we should be free to experiment. You cant have it both ways. These companies seem like they're just taking the position of whichever stance benefits them the most on any given day. Or maybe I'm not smart enough to really see the bigger picture here.
Basically, I think these companies calling for regulation are full of BS. And their actions prove it.
This generation of AI systems isn't "break the world" dangerous. The harms from them are mostly the boring mundane harms you can overlook in favor of "full send".
But the performance and capabilities of AI systems only ever goes up.
Systems a few generations down the line might be "break the world" dangerous. And you really don't want to learn that after you "full send" release them with no safety testing, the way you did the 10 systems before it.
I wouldn't be surprised for certain kinds of secret sharing. Storage is cheap and sneaker-nets are easy. I'm sure someone is figuring out a network solution where 2 computers both have a 100tb hard drive with the same one-time pad.
why does this sound to me, like it'll be no longer admissible to customize "your" device?
it already kinda isn't... but this will be a Telescreen in your pocket. it really already is; but at least for now it's possible to use android and force it open.... but not for long.
next up: government license to open web browser dev tools... but by then it won't matter cuz it'll be 100% web assembly i.e. binary, the actual web 2.0.
I'm starting to imagine that diferent currencies, like money are converging with their platforms
each platform having your its own currency? well that's simply one nation. a federal government, registered at the UN. this translates the UN into Etherum, register your currency and be a part of what exactly?
The wave of CRM is CDP. Customer Data Platform. The key is that it isn't just your basic account data, but all the behavioral data across various system interactions both online and off (if applicable). Shopping Cart abandonment email campaigns are pretty benign. But the outrage around the targeted ad for baby/pregnancy products that made the news from Target a few years ago is just the start for what more insightful data signals can give you. I don't really care about most retailers knowing what I buy. I do care about them reselling that data to big aggregators that know everything I buy, where I go and when, and join that what sites I visit and what mail I get. It is too much and can be abused.
