GrapheneOS solves this with contact scopes, but yea just leave it uninstalled if you don't need it

Sorry not sorry

I believe that's their motive here yep. Pretty transparent.

Your assumption is correct. This is in reference to https://www.anthropic.com/research/self-replicating-ai. This isn't headlines though it's fairly obvious to anyone who even occasionally thinks about security

https://www.anthropic.com/research/self-replicating-ai they discuss it here. This has been an obvious potential issue since forever. This isn't a trivially distributed task, but it is very much so possible. The obvious part missing is some sort of prompt that would trigger such radical actions in another one of their "super duper sandboxed environment"s or someone doing it intentionally. The former seems pretty unlikely? Even though they seem to suck at sandboxing it doesn't seem like anything would "accidentally make a worm"

This polymarket headline though? Yea that's for clicks and attention

https://www.anthropic.com/research/self-replicating-ai it's not hard to find. They link other work. There is nothing fantastical about it. These companies relish in "regulate me senpai [and in the process remove our competition and open weight models]" but also do legitimate research

For anyone who really needed to see the conclusion.

And the entire sequence

This is the most unsatisfying GIF I've ever seen. I hate it.

I opt out every time and have never gotten randomly selected for additional screening. Maybe you're getting profiled in another way?

Yea didn't see that coming

Most people are describing a vibe not an actual career aspiration.

It makes perfect sense too. Most tech workers, I assume at least, enjoy building things, but these days the tech you build (or tangentially work on in my case mostly) is fluff. Even if the product isn't fluff, the tech world seems to try very hard to make sure you feel nothing towards it. You don't feel like you're a part of it and you don't see yourself in the work. The product isn't for you and it isn't even for the users, they, and you, are means to an end. The end is money for the people in charge of the company or investors. The natural feeling then is to be drawn to some sort of physical craft, something you make yourself and very tangibly exists. Something you can see yourself and the results of your labor in.

I'm going to probably have to do something else, because I'm losing my mind, but I'm not good enough at making things out of wood and have a house to pay off. I relate to the feeling though and the concept of "I no longer work in software and instead make furniture out of wood". It's a metaphor

I spent all my time in those caves. Thanks Skyrim
