🤓 Anthropic recently release a threat report that shows how threat actors are using their model Claude. Here are some of the highlights:

・ Vibe hacking: Criminals are using Claude Code to perform real intrusions, doing reconnaissance, extortion, at a scale that one human alone could not reach

・ Remote worker fraud: North Korean IT workers are simulating professional competence through AI at Fortune 500 companies

・ No-code malware: Threat actors with little technical skill are generating ransomware-as-a-service packages with evasion techniques and selling them for about $400

・ Fraud at scale: Carding stores, romance scams and synthetic identities, AI is embedded across the fraud supply chain and make it even more easy for them

I think it is interesting to see how threat actors are leveraging AI as those patterns are the ones you may want to detect in your future AI systems.

“First of its kind” AI settlement: Anthropic to pay authors $1.5 billion

So, a broke student copying a song from a major record label can be fined $150k. But a high _valued_ AI corporation can be fined $3k for stealing a book from a poor author. Have I got that right?
in reply to Ars Technica

$3000 per copyright violation is hardly a deterrent.

It sets a very low price point for theft.

Why do we venerate books? Why do we treat them as if they're more than merely the medium for whatever is in them? After all, we don't adore all bottles just because some of them contain water.

We're at a juncture in human history where we might be witnessing the decline of the book. If we retain the love of knowledge and of entertainment, would it matter if we lose books?

in reply to Jonathan T

@JonnyT Totally. I listen to lots of podcasts. Some of them are essays that previously would've been in magazines.

But I don't feel that listening is truly the equivalent of reading. Do you?

in reply to David Njoku

It is for me in the sense that it's almost my only means of doing it these days.

And, if you are visually impaired, it is definitely so.

Edit: I also tend to read books digitally these days as well, when I do get the opportunity. The only time I have for it is in bed at night, and this way is the least disturbing to my partner - no additional lighting required.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Trump’s war on green energy so I finally wrote down some thoughts. pbump.net/o/why-trump-2-0-aims…


Le chapitre des Twitterfiles français s'ouvre enfin !


#politique #censure #médias #désinformation

im

Contexte : en 2022, suite au rachat de Twitter par Elon Musk, ce dernier ouvrait à une demi douzaine de journalistes la messagerie interne de l'entreprise, ouvrant la voie à une multitude de révélations sur la façon dont Twitter, sous la pression du FBI et de ses propres équipe de modération, avait largement censuré les comptes Républicain durant la mandat de Joe Biden.

Plus récemment, à l'occasion d'un meeting à Munich, le vice président JD Vance expliquait à un publié médusé que la liberté d'expression était en danger en Europe. Un mois auparavant, lors du sommet de l'IA à Paris, le même JD Vance lançait qu'il n'était pas digne pour une démocratie d'utiliser l'IA pour censurer ses citoyens, ciblant de façon implicite le pouvoir français.

Le bras de fer mené par les USA envers l'UE, qui à ce stade à réussi à imposer des tarfis douaniers sans la moindre réciprocité de la part de l'Europe, ne s'arrête pas en si bon chemin. A de multiples occasion, Donald Trump comme JD Vance ont annoncé vouloir mener une guerre contre les législations contraignant les Big Tech américaines, avec en ligne de mire le DSA et Thierry Breton.

#AI #WWIII

"Jacquelyn Schneider saw a disturbing pattern, and she didn’t know what to make of it.

Last year Schneider, director of the Hoover Wargaming and Crisis Simulation Initiative at Stanford University, began experimenting with war games that gave the latest generation of artificial intelligence the role of strategic decision-makers. In the games, five off-the-shelf large language models or LLMs — OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4-Base; Anthropic’s Claude 2; and Meta’s Llama-2 Chat — were confronted with fictional crisis situations that resembled Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or China’s threat to Taiwan.

The results? Almost all of the AI models showed a preference to escalate aggressively, use firepower indiscriminately and turn crises into shooting wars — even to the point of launching nuclear weapons. 'The AI is always playing Curtis LeMay,' says Schneider, referring to the notoriously nuke-happy Air Force general of the Cold War. 'It’s almost like the AI understands escalation, but not de-escalation. We don’t really know why that is.'

If some of this reminds you of the nightmare scenarios featured in blockbuster sci-fi movies like 'The Terminator,' 'WarGames' or 'Dr. Strangelove', well, that’s because the latest AI has the potential to behave just that way someday, some experts fear. In all three movies, high-powered computers take over decisions about launching nuclear weapons from the humans who designed them."

Buried within 32 U.S.C. § 502(f)(2),
an otherwise mundane statute about the normal functioning of the National Guard system is a broad catch-all:

“Support of operations or missions undertaken by the member’s unit at the request of the President or Secretary of Defense.”

Not order, or command, or after going through the process of federalizing them.

But merely at the “request” for participation of state troops who remain under state, not federal, command.

Anthropic has agreed to pay a minimum of $1.5 billion to settle the lawsuit brought by a group of authors who sued the AI company for illegally using pirated copies of their books to train large-language models. This covers 500,000 works, but judge William Alsup says if the list exceeds that number, Anthropic must pay an addition $3,000 per work. This is the largest settlement in U.S. history. John Grisham, George R.R. Martin and Jodi Picoult are part of a group of nearly 20 bestselling authors who have sued OpenAI, alleging “systematic theft on a mass scale,” and this ruling could indicate the likely outcome of that case.

Mainline Firefox is moving away from 32bit support, but could its forks still be built for 32bit platforms?

Also, could this be an opportunity for forked engines like Goanna to take a larger role in the 32bit space?

in reply to jbz

I own a late 32bit Intel machine with an SSD and 4GB of RAM. It can barely run Debian 12. Chromium and Firefox are both painfully slow on this machine with modern web sites. I really want to know where these machines „perfectly capable of browsing the web“ are. Even a Raspberry Pi easily outperforms a Core2Duo (which is 64bit, btw.).

Idag har jag avslutat den 3-veckors kurs i Etik inom design som jag håller varje år på Nackademin sedan sju år tillbaka. Jag har fått så många personliga meddelanden från elever skickade till mig under eftermiddag och kväll om vilken ögonöppnare kursen varit för dem. Jag är så jäkla rörd. Och tacksam. Att få chansen att undervisa i det man brinner för är en så'n otrolig ynnest. Människor är fan fantastiska när de får chansen och möjligheten att hjälpa andra. Det är bara galet att så många inte får lära sig att det faktiskt går att välja att vara snäll även i sin yrkesroll.

in reply to PKPs Powerfromspace1

One should remind people that 1.5°C is a global average but temperature increases are not distributed evenly over the planet. Higher latitudes are experiencing greater temperature differentials. What this means is air that can absorb a lot more water which leads away all the available moisture in a region, and that moisture laden air is transported to somewhere slightly different and it might run into a cold air mass and drop it all in a deluge.

Buenas tardes, miserables.

He estado en parte ocupada (satisfactoriamente, no a las puteadas) y en parte con un presupuesto de conexión muy reducido. Vienen las elecciones de medio término con Luna llena y el río muy revuelto (diría más, pero estamos de "veda"), ayer fue el Día de la Historieta, volvió el frío a las puertas de la primavera, y para sorpresa de nadie, estoy cortísima de dinero y con deudas y gastos.

Invoco por lo tanto, y agradezco por anticipado, vuestra solidaridad. (La Ollita Travesti está bien por ahora, fueron muy generosos los aportes.)

Pagar la cuenta de la luz y comprar un anafe eléctrico para cocinar son mis prioridades: $150000 argentinos (USD 110, EUR 94) debieran bastar. Cumplido eso, algún medicamento cuya falta no me mata, alimentos (estoy cubierta en cantidad y calidad, pero cualquier variación es bienvenida), y cargar la tarjeta de transporte público para visitar a mis hijes, que mucho les vengo postergando.

Pueden enviarme al alias angelastellamatutina (Banco Provincia/Cuenta DNI, desde Argentina) o, por acuerdo con un amigo de la Ollita, a kotopezzani@gmail.com (PayPal, resto del mundo). Como siempre: cualquier monto me sirve, gracias desde ya. Escríbanme ante cualquier duda.

No soy gran fotógrafa, pero disfruto de observar los brotes del arbolito que me protege de los rigores del Sol durante el verano: les comparto las imágenes donde como puedo registro su evolución.
