i just had that conversation about 'industrial' effort and 'actors', we have recent examples of monetary corruption in the sacklers.

these are potentially the same people that killed epstein?

now, i don't believe that but you never know.

Noone in position of power was threatened by the contents of Snowden's leaks.

This is plain false. NSA was threatened and many more.

here's a bogeyman for you, accepting money in a representative democracy for political action is maybe mere nanometers from the definition of bribery.

you know, that's not completely true. taking breaks or shifting from one idea to the next doesn't necessarily stop the ingenuity and ideas from flowing down the first path.

your hands might be limited that way, but your mind isn't.

I completely agree with you. As I’ve moved up the chain in engineering I’ve realized I suck at multi tasking. Constant reprioritization of tasks to focus on the urgent while also moving lower-priority ones forward has helped me accomplish short-term needs and slow-burning tasks.

I'm not clear what you mean. While nuclear waste is certainly a thing that could hurt the environment if mismanaged, impacting the climate isn't really a way that it does so. The shielding also seems like an unusual thing to focus on as opposed to the waste itself.

'shielding', is applied to both the energy extraction process of fission activity AND the remnants.

you're definitely not clear on the meaning.

Yeah, I'm definitely not clear on what you're trying to mean. How about you actually state your point rather than vaguely alluding to something?

i can name at least (1) thing that wants "unmoderated space": LLMs.

drug scale for drugs?

you've got it wrong,

that scale is for measuring transactions in Au.

Why would you measure transactions by the distance between Earth and the Sun?

Drugs?

you used to only 'need' debug.com.

the existence of the triplets NSA/CIA/GRU implies an imperitive no.

that is a whole different thing though... AI labs are not government intelligence agencies

minus two or three things, corporate data is classified as public/goverment data. we just saw something about earmarking domain last month? two being imminent domain. three being natsec.

risk of prescient theory is more important than dismissive ablation.

edit: to wit, facebook google and anything else not e2e.

it's not like the ai is homomorphic.

oh, haha. another point to make: what do you think they've been building out for 25 years with fusion centers and maryland/utah?

"government intelligence agencies" ARE 'AI'.

why does it take a large amount of traffic to do irreparable harm? just breaking the physics behind a secure rng and posting it to a wiki could cause serious damage. if they don't know what is being worked on or coordinated against it's a problem?

While that would be bad if they broke all of TLS, it would not let agents "take over the internet." What would that even mean? Pumping out even more slop?

Also, AI providers are literally getting a stream of traffic with every prompt and every response. How can they not know what's being worked on? They are more likely to use that an excuse to ban open models where they can't know what's being worked on.

two of these things elected a guy who handled the snowden leaks to field their own questions, what's stopping the next one from signalling in morse through a debian package mirror to putin or xi?

Why are they bothering to signal through a debian package mirror instead of just sending a message directly?

They elected who? What does this refer to?
