Fuck AI

It's impossible, i got this instance to just see lemmy from my own instance, but no, it was slow as hell the whole week, i got new pods, put postgres on a different pod, pictrs on another, etc.

But it was slow as hell. I didn't know what it was until a few hours before now. 500 GETs in a MINUTE by ClaudeBot and GPTBot, wth is this? why? I blocked the user agents, etc, using a blocking extension on NGINX and now it works.

WHY? So google can say that you should eat glass?

Life is now hell, if before at least someone could upload a website, now even that is painfull.

Sorry for the rant.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) wants to enforce a 10-year moratorium on AI regulation by making states ineligible for broadband funding if they try to impose any limits on development of artificial intelligence.

A day after announcing new AI models designed for U.S. national security applications, Anthropic has appointed a national security expert, Richard Fontaine, to its long-term benefit trust.

In a statement, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said... “Richard’s expertise comes at a critical time as advanced AI capabilities increasingly intersect with national security considerations,” Amodei continued. “I’ve long believed that ensuring democratic nations maintain leadership in responsible AI development is essential for both global security and the common good.”

Fontaine, who as a trustee won’t have a financial stake in Anthropic, previously served as a foreign policy adviser to the late Sen. John McCain and was an adjunct professor at Georgetown teaching security studies. For more than six years, he led the Center for A New American Security, a national security think tank based in Washington, D.C., as its president.

Anthropic has increasingly engaged U.S. national security customers as it looks for new sources of revenue. In November, the company teamed up with Palantir and AWS, the cloud computing division of Anthropic’s major partner and investor, Amazon, to sell Anthropic’s AI to defense customers.

To be clear, Anthropic isn’t the only top AI lab going after defense contracts. OpenAI is seeking to establish a closer relationship with the U.S. Defense Department, and Meta recently revealed that it’s making its Llama models available to defense partners. Meanwhile, Google is refining a version of its Gemini AI capable of working within classified environments, and Cohere, which primarily builds AI products for businesses, is also collaborating with Palantir to deploy its AI models.

On Thursday, Anthropic unveiled specialized AI models designed for US national security customers. The company released "Claude Gov" models that were built in response to direct feedback from government clients to handle operations such as strategic planning, intelligence analysis, and operational support. The custom models reportedly already serve US national security agencies, with access restricted to those working in classified environments...

Anthropic joins other major AI companies competing for lucrative government work, reports TechCrunch. OpenAI is working to build closer ties with the US Defense Department, while Meta recently made its Llama models available to defense partners. Google is developing a version of its Gemini AI model that can operate within classified environments. Business-focused AI company Cohere is also collaborating with Palantir to deploy its models for government use.

The push into defense work represents a shift for some AI companies that previously avoided military applications. These specialized government models often require different capabilities than consumer AI tools, including the ability to process classified information and work with sensitive intelligence data without triggering safety restrictions that might block legitimate government operations.

One use of this ANTIVIBE tool and all the vibe coders around you flee away.

Artificial intelligence is on full display at an exposition in Washington, DC, where one of the main focuses is how to incorporate AI into weapons systems. Organisers say the technology will lead to a better future, but critics are warning of the dangers that come with the high-tech advances. Al Jazeera’s Shihab Rattansi shows us around.

I sent a co-worker a link to a file on my OneDrive via Teams and he got this warning. What the hell is up with that warning artwork? I feel like a human wouldn't have designed it that way.

The artificial intelligence, internally dubbed CDRH-GPT, is intended to help staffers at the agency’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, a division responsible for ensuring the safety of devices implanted in the body, as well as essential tools like X-rays and CT scanners.

The division was among those affected by the sweeping mass layoffs at the Department for Health and Human Services earlier this year. While many of the device reviewers were spared, the agency eliminated much of the backend support that enables them to issue approval decisions on time.

The work of reviewers includes sifting through large amounts of data from animal studies and clinical trials. Depending on the applicant, it can take months or even over a year — which an AI tool could feasibly help shorten. 

Experts, however, are concerned that the FDA’s push toward AI could outpace what the technology is actually ready for. 

Since taking over the agency on April 1, Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary has pushed to integrate artificial intelligence across the FDA’s divisions. How this move into AI could affect the safety and effectiveness of drugs or medical devices hasn’t been determined.

Hey, just wanted to plug an grassroots advocacy nonprofit, PauseAI, that's lobbying to pause AI development and/or increase regulations on AI due to concerns around the environment, jobs, and safety. They recruit volunteers to spread awareness, contact congress, etc -- it's just one more way you can fight back against the AI industrial complex!
