I'm sure most of these are foreign students. Giving away an edge, no. Scamming them? Perhaps.

A lot of training data was curated in Kenya[0]. I would imagine if LLM data was curated in Japan our LLMs would sound a lot like the authors of their most popular English text books. Maybe other common Japanese idioms would leak in to the training data, like "ね" or "でしょう", ChatGPT would say "Don't you agree?" at the end of every message.

casey2 commented on EFF launches Age Verification Hub eff.org/press/releases/ef... · Posted by u/iamnothere
I feel like the EFF has stretched a bit far on this one. They need to be advocating for good solutions, not portraying age verification as fundamentally about surveillance and censorship.
As many are pointing out zero knowledge proofs exist and resolve most of the issues they are referring to. And it doesn't have to be complex. A government (or bank, or anybody that has an actual reason to know your identity) provided service that mints a verifiable one time code the user can plug into a web site is very simple and probably sufficient. Pretty standard PKI can do it.
The real battle to be lost here is that uploading actual identity to random web sites becomes normalised. Or worse, governments have to know what web sites you are going to. That's what needs to be fought against.
The reality is that even countries that have digital IDs like Belgium which would be 1 of the many requirements of implementing such a zero-knowledge system are pushing for surveillance heavy legislation right now.
Once a system is in place that infringes on rights nobody will modify it to give citizens more rights.
LMAO ok dude, don't like it? fork it and change the name. The author has a DEEP misunderstanding of the science of human language, not surprised he's a Chomskyite.
Rule of thumb, disregard every post that uses the phrase "context switching"

To protect children we must install malware on their computers! Let's just hope those authorities don't use malware to peep on them through webcams ... Again
or look at their personal data
or use behavior analytics to target minority groups as "risks" sending law enforcement to harass or kill them.
or store all their personal data on a 3rd party companies insecure servers
You have to start surveillance young, get them used to it early so they don't realize how bad it is!

The motion clarity on most TVs is unacceptably poor
It's clear that a faction hostile to the EU has taken hold of key institutional and corporate positions in the US. Fines are not enough, it's time to start fostering an independent tech ecosystem in the EU and start raising a "Great Firewall" equivalent.
Not going to happen. The EU makes more from fines on US tech companies than taxes on EU tech companies.
It's unclear at this point if EU leaders have any authority to even collect any money or if they are just an anachronism.
There are people that want to work and people that don't, somehow the EU is run by people that don't. The EU is in for a rude awakening when US companies stop paying these illegal fines and EU companies stop paying illegal taxes.
Second-Handers love to denigrate the work of Elon Musk and Sam Altman, but these men are solving fundamental problems, you can get your DRAM on the second-hand market after Sam uses it to create AGI. A reasonable man would be very grateful for the existence of these oligarchs. I assume you are just posting unconsciously not unreasonably.
