oh boy: https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/113868769104056845 iOS devices send the contents of Signal chats to Apple Intelligence by default

e: this fortunately doesn’t seem to be accurate; excuse my haste. here’s the word from the signal forums

Chuds keep posting pictures of Democratic Party politicians (particularly Kamala Harris) with their arm raised

of course they are. there’s no convincing these fuckers because they’re collaborators looking to strengthen the conviction of other collaborators by any inane means necessary.

do you figure it’s $1000/query because the algorithms they wrote with their insider knowledge to cheat the benchmark are very expensive to run, or is it $1000/query because they’re grifters and all high mode does is use the model trained on frontiermath and allocate more resources to the query? and like any good grifter, they’re targeting whales and institutional marks who are so invested that throwing away $1000 on horseshit feels like a bargain

holy shit, that’s the excuse they’re going for? they cheated on a benchmark so hard the results are totally meaningless, sold their most expensive new models yet on the back of that cheated benchmark, further eroded the scientific process both with their cheating and by selling those models as better for scientific research… and these weird fucks want that to be fine and normal? fuck them

absolutely; there’s no reason to hide the funding source and OpenAI’s access unless you’re grifting. I feel bad for the mathematicians working on FrontierMath who didn’t know though. imagine wasting valuable time on something like this then finding out it was all just a marketing stunt devised by grifters.

Besiroglu says OpenAI did have access to many of the FrontierMath problems and solutions — but he added “we have a verbal agreement that these materials will not be used in model training.”

ooh, a verbal agreement! incredible! altman & co didn’t even have to do the typical slimy corporate move and pay an intern to barely modify the original materials into the input for the training corpus, since that verbal agreement wasn’t legally binding and behind the scenes OpenAI can just go “oopsy woopsy we swear it won’t happen again” and who’s gonna stop them?

it should be fixed… again. for some reason our image cache keeps getting into a state where it either stops accepting uploads or stops accepting requests at all. I plan to upgrade us to the latest version soon, but it’ll unfortunately involve a little bit of downtime: to upgrade pict-rs to a new point release, you have to run the migrate command, but it only works for the previous release. we’re two releases behind, so I have to custom package the in-between release just to get us there.

holy fuck those comments. are all these people huffing CO2?

I get the some streamers looked at @elonmusk’s gameplay and it looks like a shared account, maybe with his kids or something, and it seems unlikely he’s made all that PoE2 progress on his own.

But has he actually said something about his play of PoE2 that is contradicted by this? Do we have an actual quote from him that would be a lie if their assessment of his on stream PoE2 gameplay is accurate?

The critics who leap to assuming he’s not (or was not) a good (pro-level) gamer in general are making a huge leap with their “gotcha” moment.

uhm if you’d just look at the facts and ignore everything musk said and ignore the other times he was caught cheating, it’s perfectly reasonable that an extremely busy businessman like daddy musk would just have his 6 year old son play this extremely difficult game at a top level and then repeatedly claim his son’s accomplishments as his own. and by the transitive property that makes musk a pro-level gamer! QED woke critics or as professional quake players like musk and I say: lol zerg rush gg
