Does anyone know where to find the text of the proposal? I wasn't able to find it.

This is the logic of yeast. Optimize locally until you drown in your own shit.

I have been speculating on adding a tar pit on my personal web site. A script that produces a page of random nonsense and random looking links to the same script. The thing not linked to anywhere, but explicitly forbidden on robots.txt. If the crawlers start on it let them get lost. Bit of rate limiting should keep my server safe, and slow down the crawlers. Maybe I should add some confusing prompts on the page as well... Probably I never get around to it, but the idea sounds tempting.

Or, serve "Emergent Misalignment" dataset.

I'm not seeing anything in the post with any legal resolution or "proof" the accusations were false. Whatever case he had was settled out-of-court. It doesn't seem like the accusing parties were asked or agreed to take any action retracting their claims.

So, as observers, what we're left with is two people accusing someone of something and the accused saying they're innocent.

You have to opt in to Recall. You must have a “Copilot+ PC” which has an “NPU”. The snapshots are stored and processed locally.

Locally for how long? You know, all that data how you interact with a PC are just too tempting ...

Yep, but don't forget to blame immigrants for causing these issues. That's really what's at the heart of this.

Strange case. After the TikTok Israel saga, we all know that there are some form of algorithm manipulation or lack of manipulation going on, and if that manipulation is not favorable, then there’s a bill called for the sale of such a company to some western aligned that country.

So now France wants to criminally prosecute as though they violated some existing law?

Excuse me, what was 'TikTok Israel saga'?

Yeah but then laws need to be clear, understandable and possible to enforce fairly. What is X accused of specifically? "Algorithm manipulation" doesn't sound like a crime to me.
