Everyone is safe from Pegasus …
Except cell phone owners (which is most everyone)
Exception to the exception : people who know about this excellent FOOS tool (and know someone who can use it) - - thanks

What i read [and corrected] from the article :

“The hacking campaign [group], nicknamed [ by Microsoft ] Salt Typhoon by Microsoft,
[ this actual campaign of attacks ] is one of the largest intelligence compromises in U.S. history, and not yet fully remediated. Officials in a press call Tuesday [ 2024-12-3 ] refused to set a timetable for declaring the country’s telecommunications systems free of interlopers. Officials had previously told NBC News that China hacked AT&T, Verizon and Lumen Technologies to spy on customers.”

e.v. drive weird.

Because they are very different machines on the same road :
in internal combustion engine vehicle, going downhill : let’s accelerate a (little?) bit !

The electric car driver :
(slowing down) let’s charge the battery !

Great news 😁🥂, someone should make a new post on this !

Wow thanks. So this is not about security and technology … it must be about politics and business. Meaning the timing of this move might be related to replacement processors that they are manufacturing.

Engineering Works begin after Architecture fantasy is done. I would let fantasy being done by artificial intelligence but not engineering, not nowadays … since it is not yet safely done by a.i.

i like your comment here, just one reflection :

Thinking is relational, it requires an internal self awareness.

i think it’s like the chicken and the egg : they both come together … one could try to argue that self-awareness comes from thinking in the fashion of : “i think so i am”

Not OpenAI, now they will be ClosedAI :

… complete its planned conversion from a nonprofit (with a for-profit division) to a fully for-profit company.

if you want the white paper i have read about this : one is published in nature and other one version of the same thing or very similar in ArXiv :

(not the post itself but the comments i made under my post)

Previously known as Q*, Strawberry was considered a breakthrough within the company last year. Earlier this year, two sources reported Q* demonstrations that could address complex scientific and mathematical questions beyond the reach of current models.

Despite contrary comments in here i say this is important and far reaching. Though i must admit i’m not an expert, i read a few white papers on this stuff : it has real potential.

i agree with you that we are much better than LLMs in the fact we can verify our errors (and we can do much more things LLMs don’t do).
Still i am happy to have access to their vast memory and i know where they fail most of times so i can work with them in a productive way.
The day we provide them (or DNNs) with “Will” is i think when they will become (more) dangerous.

Science cannot say much about what it is to think since it doesn’t understand the brain well enough … and the day we can fully explained it, we will also be able to replicated it on computers.

i feel that many of us, when confronted to this, are doing like Z.B. (president of the Galaxy) in The hitchhiker guide… when he says :
… “whenever I stop and think why did I want to do something? – how did I work out how to do it? – I get a very strong desire to just to stop thinking about it” …
We don’t want to be surpassed by machines … and this explains the large amount of downvotes

Yes thanks, … in fact, linked from @stuner above, is the explanation detailed simply, rapidly and from proven science why this source of energy is negligible and nearly never working.

Someone should explain why this is ludicrous.
