> OpenAI is now fighting a court order to preserve all ChatGPT user logs—including deleted chats and sensitive chats logged through its API business offering—after news organizations suing over copyright claims accused the AI company of destroying evidence.
> OpenAI alleged that the court rushed the order based only on a hunch raised by The New York Times and other news plaintiffs. And now, without "any just cause," OpenAI argued, the order "continues to prevent OpenAI from respecting its users’ privacy decisions." That risk extended to users of ChatGPT Free, Plus, and Pro, as well as users of OpenAI’s application programming interface (API), OpenAI said.
> The court order came after news organizations expressed concern that people using ChatGPT to skirt paywalls "might be more likely to 'delete all [their] searches' to cover their tracks," OpenAI explained. Evidence to support that claim, news plaintiffs argued, was missing from the record because so far, OpenAI had only shared samples of chat logs that users had agreed that the company could retain. Sharing the news plaintiffs' concerns, the judge, Ona Wang, ultimately agreed that OpenAI likely would never stop deleting that alleged evidence absent a court order, granting news plaintiffs' request to preserve all chats.

In other words the US has decided that the techbro slop emprire wasn't invasive enough already. All of this because the newspapers are mad they could potentially be missing 0.03% of the paying custumers btw, which is going to be like 1% of what openAI will have to pay in storage.

>a lot of people use it!
This has gotta be one of the worst reasons for choosing a programming language for your team out there. The entire argument is premised on the idea that this makes it easier to hire for, but the more popular your language choice is the more scriptkiddies you’re gonna get applying for your company and you end up going through excruciating hiring processes, meanwhile if you just say "ok we're using Rust" the only hiring friction will be finding someone who isn't annoying at Christmas parties.

Is there a siterip of all the documented works on marxists.org somewhere? I'm highly suspicious of the sites ability to stay up in the future for various reasons, and even if it does, I'd feel better storing it all on an HD or something and would be willing to self host it should the need ever arise.

The faggot behind "Open"AI is now trying to have biometric data of the whole world for cryptopennies. Very cool.

Facial recognition. Gait recognition. Automated License Plate Readers, many of whom now identify based on make and model. DNA databases. Cellular location tracking. "First responder drones" will become a thing with police departments soon. Cash based transactions are becoming less accepted and every credit card purchase is sold to advertisers (and the feds). For most people in Western countries acting normally, anyone going anywhere or doing anything in the physical world is tracked in a dozen ways. Taking elaborate measures to avoid this surveillance makes you look extremely weird and suspicious to most normal people. Any serious leftist movement dealing with harsh state repression is going to need a reliable toolkit for defeating this stuff.

AGI by 2027. What are the implications for the world and the future of mankind and communism?

>Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the willful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.

>Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.

>Let me tell you what we see.

<I. From GPT-4 to AGI: Counting the OOMs
>AGI by 2027 is strikingly plausible. GPT-2 to GPT-4 took us from ~preschooler to ~smart high-schooler abilities in 4 years. Tracing trendlines in compute (~0.5 orders of magnitude or OOMs/year), algorithmic efficiencies (~0.5 OOMs/year), and “unhobbling” gains (from chatbot to agent), we should expect another preschooler-to-high-schooler-sized qualitative jump by 2027.

<II. From AGI to Superintelligence: the Intelligence Explosion
>AI progress won’t stop at human-level. Hundreds of millions of AGIs could automate AI research, compressing a decade of algorithmic progress (5+ OOMs) into ≤1 year. We would rapidly go from human-level to vastly superhuman AI systems. The power—and the peril—of superintelligence would be dramatic.

This is the next installment of threads in my project log series since the imageboard was completed >>27187, and ran out of motivation for the calendar-based forum >>27553, leaving it as merely a (relatively complete) calendar. The idea this time around is to make something of a GNU Emacs replacement, but broken up into a number of tightly coupled smaller packages. Namely the approach is going to be "frames" over "windows" where windows are controlled by a programmable tiling window manager and run in Xephr for individuals who don't want to replace their window manager. Further there will be a command processor for mapping keybindings to functions and command names to functions. Next there will be a prompt package which will be responsible for prompting the user, more likely than not this will be either at the cursor position or in the center of the display. Lastly, the text editor itself will be responsible for very little beyond saving and reloading state, and rendering the text buffer; these two functionality will likely also be split into separate packages.

Presently, the implementation is in C, Xlib, Cairo, and Pango but is little more than a demo to edit and render text taken from various tutorials glued together only started yesterday afternoon. It is however already capable of indexing in text based on pointer events, so it seems the stack will be powerful enough to write the gui. Am likely to start with morphing the present program into the prompt package and once have the basics of the centered view created (this would be something akin to dmenu) am likely to begin rewriting in Common Lisp. Don't yet know how to handle the interprocess communication ideally it would be bidirectoinal and work well with programs not written in Common Lisp, though this latter point isn't the biggest priority. Getting the interprogram communication right is going to be critical for having the environment work well overall. Anyway that's all for now.
