My friend's Stepson just got back from his National Guard deployment to the ME about a month ago. He was there for the start of the fiasco. He has what is most likely permanent hearing damage but otherwise came out of it okay. I believe he has several opinions and positions that have been changed.

I realize this is a slippery slope but we are talking about a commercial entity not acting in good faith in the use of the data for it's own commercial purposes versus a human actually learning and applying.

That is misleading. It happened in one location I am aware of and it was coming from a data center under construction.

I think you might want a redo on that first full sentence.

I agree we need to build AIs for the future. The fact is things like Kimi will appear. I don't know much about Kimi but I am usually skeptical of anything Chinese. (Remember for example that OpenAI says DeepSeek 'inappropriately' copied ChatGPT...)

Also on Kimi K3 from what I have been seeing, they are just comparing it to Fable and on coding. It sounds as if it is comparable to Sonnet 5 price wise but Sonnet is faster... Anthropic keeps tuning their older engines like Sonnet and Haiku.

As for this is funded by China. It is possible but folks like you don't want to hold foreign countries tampering in the US accountable. When you say "environmental groups" - that is not in Russia's interest to fund. Perhaps China's. Russia prefers to fund right leaning propaganda and the NRA. These Mega data centers are a HUGE problem. AI isn't in the hands of everyone in China - keep that in mind.

Another example of emerging things was done by a Netflix engineer - Tejas Chopra. He created an open-source tool called Headroom that compresses AI agent inputs (such as logs, tool outputs, code, and conversation history) before they reach the language model. This context compression layer can reduce token usage by 60% to 95% while maintaining output quality.

2%? That is the definition of a clueless statement.

Do you have a semi-current cell phone? You are using AI
Do you use an Internet Search Engine? You are using AI.
Do you have email? You are using AI.
Do you use any other office apps? You are using AI.

I can go on and on. Whether you are actively using an LLM chat is different than using AI. And even in my backward manufacturing company full of older folks the use of LLM AIs is over 50%. I have been monitoring the traffic for over year now and we started blocking it unless you were given permission.

Wife watched it all laughing at Trump the whole time. My only question is who were they booing? Trump, Infantino or Both.

Gay Republican. I thought it was something of an oxymoron. A mythical being.

How STUPID can one be? I am asking all of you non-white Christian MAGA voters too. Yes you Mormons. Even you Catholics. Do you think because you have semblance of values that kind of relate to what they spew that they wanted anything but your vote?

I have moral and ethical objections to it but as someone working with AI daily, you are an idiot. Pull your head out of the sand.

I too was a skeptic for a long time but the writing was on the wall - it was coming. The advances in the past year are amazing. My lead developer uses AI to turn out projects literally at a 10x pace. The others using it are at least 5 times as effective. Today it is a powerful tool. Anthropic's Mythos is the beginning of the next phase. In two or three years...

This only makes sense if something seedy is going on.
