Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)If Apple (incorrectly) suspects fraud on your iCloud account they can lock you out with no way back in, which would then kill all your passkeys. I don't see why Apple or Google should have the power to lock me out of every website I visit. Passkeys are not a well-thought our plan. Apple and Google love it because it locks you into their device.

Was/am @GoodBrain on Twitter.
@deweyritten Sam Altman is asking for a brand new agency to be created and staffed on his recommendation in order to regulate that AIs won't "escape".
That's not a thing. It's sci-fi nonsense. It's like environmental regulations to prevent creating godzilla.What he's actually trying to do is invent a set of rules that only he can win, and establish that he can't be liable for the real harm he does. AI has only ever been a liability laundering machine, and he wants to enshrine that function in law.
He's also really desperate not to be regulated by the FTC, because their charter is to prevent and remedy actual harm to actual people.
Siderea, Sibylla BostoniensisDear everybody re ChatGPT etc,
The word you need that you don't know you need is CONFABULATION.
What y'all are calling "hallucination" is, in neurology and psychology (where it means two slightly different things) called "confabulation".
It means when somebody's just making up something and has no idea that they're making things up, because their brain/mind is glitching.
A lot of folks are both trying to understand the AI chatbots and are trying to grapple with the possible implications for how organic minds work, by speculating about human cognition. Y'all should definitely check into the history of actual research into this topic, it will make your sock roll up and down, and blow your minds. And one of the key areas will be surfaced with that keyword.
There have been a bunch of very clever experiments that have been done on humans and how they explain themselves which betrays that there are parts of the mind that are surprisingly - and even alarmingly - independent.
Frex...
Republican users are happier with Twitter than Democrats, but to my eyes, they aren't happy with the Musk era Twitter, either.

Mark RiedlOpenAI wants regulation. This is what they want
1. A new regulatory agency. They do not want to be regulated by the FTC because they want to pretend that they are not just another corporate entity trying to make money. But also, a new agency is likely vulnerable to regulatory capture.
If staffed by people sympathetic to OpenAI, this agency can give grief to emerging competitors
Carl T. BergstromI've written about that dreadful Science piece on the Sabel et al fake paper "detector" that has a 37% false positive rate and actually just checks to see if the authors use private email addresses, are affiliated with a hospital, and don't have international coauthors.
(full thread: https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom/110357259338364341)
Here's why Science has to do better. When they herald a paper like this, other more credulous outlets think it's been vetted and pick up it as well.
Here's NPR.

Attached: 1 image This week, Science published a stunningly irresponsible news story entitled "Fake scientific papers are alarmingly common" and claiming that upward of 30% of the scientific literature is fake. https://www.science.org/content/article/fake-scientific-papers-are-alarmingly-common Below, the first two paragraphs of the story. Headline and intro notwithstanding, the story itself later notes that the detector doesn't actually work and flags nearly half of real papers as fake. Does the reporter just not understand that? h/t @[email protected]
Qasim Rashid, Esq.NY: White Vet kills mentally ill Black man—GOP makes killer a hero😳
WI: White shooter kills 2 people at BLM rally—GOP makes killer a hero😳
TX: White Vet kills BLM marcher—GOP makes killer a hero😳
DC: Black cop kills white insurrectionist—GOP makes insurrectionist a hero🤔
This is what white supremacy looks like
Jason KintHere is it was Friday night. No accountability for Zuckerberg or Sandberg. No admission of liability. No public awareness to users if their data went to hostile countries. Nearly $6B in settlement payments. And NOW any US Facebook user from 2007 through 2022 can get their $$$ of latest. 1/2 https://mstdn.social/@jasonkint/110073102431369061

Facebook tried to keep it secret for years - a Sep 2018 "Status and Re-scoped Approach" from the unprecedented audit Mark Zuckerberg promised Congress during its Cambridge Analytica scandal. /1
