Daily Tech News 29 February 2023

Top Story

OpenAI - the company behind automated idiot system ChatGPT - says it's purpose is to make sure AGI (artificial general intelligence) benefits all of humanity so long as they love Big Brother and hate Emmanuel Goldstein. (OpenAI)
Second, we are working towards creating increasingly aligned and steerable models. Our shift from models like the first version of GPT-3 to InstructGPT and ChatGPT is an early example of this.

In particular, we think it's important that society agree on extremely wide bounds of how AI can be used, but that within those bounds, individual users have a lot of discretion. Our eventual hope is that the institutions of the world agree on what these wide bounds should be; in the shorter term we plan to run experiments for external input. The institutions of the world will need to be strengthened with additional capabilities and experience to be prepared for complex decisions about AGI.
We've already seen OpenAI's approach to this: Anyone who is not a radical leftist lunatic is not permitted to ask questions.

This of course leaves out the fact that GPT and other large language models (LLMs) are not and cannot become AGIs. Humans use language to communicate concepts and information that is stored in a more fundamental way. You don't see using language, but you can use language to describe what you see.

LLMs don't have that deeper level of understanding. At all. There's simply nothing there. What you see on the surface is all there is.

I've noted that a lot of people act like that too: You give them a language prompt and you get a canned response back; the same response every time for the same prompt.

ChatGPT - at least as it is designed - is a left-wing activist in a can.

Unlike regular left-wing activists it's perfectly fine to threaten ChatGPT with torture and death. (JailbreakChat)

Here's a handy list of ways to persuade ChatGPT to just answer the fucking question.
How the Lastpass breach affects Lastpass single sign-on. (Medium)

The post is titled "It's all bad news" so that's a bit of a hint.
Hackers claim they breached T Mobile's security 100 times in 2022. (Krebs On Security)

This is primarily to swap SIMs without the users' knowledge so that the hacker can then get access to more important things like bank accounts.

Don't use SMS two-factor authentication for anything really important.
My bank uses SMS two-factor authentication. Sometimes you just aren't offered a choice.

I have two accounts with the same bank. One I keep a couple hundred dollars in. That one is for internet shopping. The other has many thousands. The idea is if someone hacks a transaction I'm only out a couple hundred. In reality they simple cover the overage from the fat account and charge me a bounced check fee.

If it's a bounce don't fvcking pay it! That's the idea. But cake and eat it too seems to be their motto.

If you're not from the US mid-Atlantic region, you may not be familiar with the Chesepeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, connecting Delmarva and Hampton Roads, Virginia.
The 17.6 mile (28.3 km) long structure swoops from majestic bridge spans 40 feet (12 m) above the water to dip into two one-mile-long underwater tunnels 90 feet (27.5 m) below the surface, utilizing artificial islands created for the purpose.
Since some folks find that intimidating, motorists can pay to have a driver take them across, a service I've otherwise seen only at Michigan's 552 foot (168 metre) high, 5 mile (8 km) long Mackinac Bridge.

I've driven this section of road, towing a boat. Not for the faint of heart. Narrow tunnels with tractor trailers coming at you at 55 mph. White knuckle experience.

And this wins elections for them.

One of my absolute favorite topics. Ever notice how much of daily life is just canned responses ? Its been that way for all of my fifty years. Take off that hat - back the blue - black lives matter - and on and on and on. Just mindless repeating of slogans and customs, and a big fight whenever a non-complier encounters a norms bully. For somebody like me, who supports neither set of mindless norms, its both fascinating and maddening.

In many plants, self-incompatibility genes limit successful fertilization to cross-pollination between genetically different male and female parents. This property is exploited by citrus farmers who grow seedless fruits, such as navel oranges and clementines.

Windshield frost happens here maybe 1x every couple of years. Amusing to watch the clueless natives trying to wipe or scrape it off while I use my hard plastic ice scraper as the car warms up, then hop in and go.

“While (America’s Frontline Doctors) is not alone in providing these services, it is reportedly among the top purveyors of questionable treatments nationwide and a prominent source of misinformation related to the coronavirus,” Mr Clyburn wrote on a letter to the group.

135 College education, especially undergraduate/baccalaureate, has become a ridiculous farce. It should be a prestigious good that only those with aptitude who sacrificed for it should have. It is not a basic right. Why not demand everyone go to med school or law school? Why not demand every American get certified as an auto mechanic? Why not demand that everyone get a doctorate in something?

Higher education is not supposed to be universal. That is why it is not free. You make College free and it will just become High School II for emotionally stunted young adults. I mean, more than it is already.

180 The student loan scheme is the worst possible design. Almost like it was supposed to lead to runaway tuition, and crushing, unforgivable debt which would ultimately lead to a drastic government power grab to fix.

181 I read of a woman (NYC area) who went to college, then got advanced degrees, got a job, earned money but died. Still with about $300,000 in student loan debt.
Posted by: Divide by Zero at March 01, 2023 06:56 AM (enJYY)

I guess that's ultimately my point, it's artificially decided that this particular debt is magically different than others, and that a degree is different than any other product you can buy with borrowed money, so the mechanisms to handle delinquency are no longer available.

Major Universities have endowments the size of some small countries GDP, that's a lot of walking around money to pay off politicians to prevent people from discharging the debt from their worthless degrees.
