    Statistician Flunks On Life Existing Elsewhere

    i think koonin iterated something similar when he mentioned the arrival of life is "a seeming miracle". this alone should be an indication of just how complex the cell is. reproduction is just one part of cellular operations and it's not the important part. the regulatory system is the brains of the cell. through my various chats with gpt i've managed to come up with a simple one sentence description of the eukaryote cell, which i've included in my signature.

    this new obsession with the AI

    It’s laughably easy to poison open-weight AI models, researcher finds. Good news, everyone: “open-weight” AI models that are available to anyone to download and run are comically easy to poison. Katie Paxton-Fear, a cybersecurity researcher at Semgrep, demonstrated this in an attack that took less than an hour and cost less than $100 to carry out, The Register reports, successfully manipulating the AI’s behavior by feeding it malicious data. By training the model on just ten examples of poisoned material, the model started churning out new code that’s exposed to remote code execution, a vulnerability that allows hackers to run code on a person’s machine. “I did a proper backdoor,” she triumphantly shared on social media. Backdoors are a particularly dangerous type of attack that involves training an AI in a way that introduces hidden phrases into the underlying model. A hacker can use these to quietly trigger the model into carrying out a specific action, lying dormant and unseen until they’re called into action. Last year, Anthropic published research conducted with the UK AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute that showed that both small and large AI models are vulnerable to the attack using just a few hundred documents, suggesting that these attacks could remain cheap to carry out. The findings will throw some cold water on the enthusiasm around open-weight models, which are praised for the control and transparency they provide over closed sourced models that run chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude, as well as their lower cost to use. But while their parameters may be visible, open-weight models don’t reveal their training data or their code — meaning they can still be black boxes to security researchers. “Even when model weights are public (‘open weight’), we have almost no ability to predict its behavior,” Paxton-Fear’s colleagues at Semrep wrote in a post last week. “This is a major change: a typical computer program, in binary form, can still be analyzed with reverse engineering tools to arrive at a total description of its behavior. With models, we have nowhere close to this capability.” Moreover, this is all fairly uncharted waters in cybersecurity. LLMs are incredibly complex and still new, so it’s difficult to uncover sophisticated attacks. And AI models can be compromised in much more subtle ways than software. “If a software dependency contains malicious code, we have mature practices for discovering it, tracking its provenance, and reducing its impact,” the Semgrup researchers argued. “AI models are different. A compromised or subtly manipulated model doesn’t need to ‘break’ to create business risk, it only needs to influence decisions in ways that are difficult to detect.” “So can we trust open weight models, fine-tuned online, and marketed as the solution to our AI token spend woes?” Paxton-Fear asked in a thread sharing her findings. “Well, we probably need something better than benchmarks and ‘and don’t write any insecure code.'” It’s laughably easy to poison open-weight AI models, researcher finds keep in mind this isn't "ai gone rogue", it's a DIRECT result of how the ai was trained and how it was used. BOTH are the DIRECT result of human actions.

    i swear, it doesn't get any crazier than this: Illegal immigrant who murdered Michigan woman sues Trump, demands $75M, public apology, US citizenship. An illegal immigrant serving a lengthy prison sentence for the murder of a Michigan woman is suing President Donald Trump, alleging he faced humiliation when his case was used as a political talking point, and is demanding $75 million, a public apology, and U.S. citizenship. Brandon Ortiz-Vite, 27, who was previously deported from the United States, is serving a sentence of 39 to 102 years in prison for killing Ruby Garcia in March 2024.

    10 reasons electric cars still suck

    Story by Thalia Oosthuizen . . . New Cars Can Report Dangerous Driving Automatically. Most people are surprised to learn this, but many modern vehicles have advanced technology that allows vehicle owners to review data on things such as how fast they drive, hard braking, and collisions. Some share it with insurance companies or emergency services after a crash. You don’t have to opt in for all of it. Your driving habits are not as private as they used to be. Knowing this may change the way you view aggressive driving. Safe driving protects more than just your safety. - MSN providing "snapshots" doesn't supply context. what is seen as "aggressive driving" can EASILY be entirely irrelevant. this reminds me of how insurance companies . . . nevermind.

    this new obsession with the AI

    i already knew that just by the video title, that's why i didn't watch it. as it stands now, HUMANS are the threat, not ai. ai is only a tool (like your hammer) and that's ALL it is. a perfect example of what i'm talking about is this :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX8CS85gWnA the title reads : karoline leavitt storms out of press briefing after being corned, published by Times Now - Times Now News channel examines news with in-depth analysis. We provide much more than the Get Breaking news, the Latest news, Politics news, of the day. Times Network houses upscale television channels. the problem is, karoline doesn't storm out of ANYTHING. the video is over 2 hours in length but it repeats the first 30 minutes 4 times. IOW this is a video generated by ai with ZERO human oversight. yay rah the MEDIA ! ! at least try to get your facts straight BEFORE going bsc.

    yes, and it's for those people i made my post. i will say this, at the current state of the technology it's highly unlikely that ai will EVER achieve true humanity. human morality is probably the only thing that kept us from destroying ourselves and ai HAS NONE. yes, we can give ai a "simulated morality" but the caveat here is a simulation CANNOT simulate the unknown.

    the video title reads: China's New Female Robot Just Hit The Market And It Is 92% Human. it doesn't even merit 1%. it's exactly ZERO percent human. like i mentioned in an earlier post, ai is going to give robotics astounding abilities and it's going to be next to impossible to keep a firm grasp on what we are dealing with, which is little more that a box of rocks with a bit of programming. i promise you, this robot china has created CANNOT navigate its environment with intent. so much for being "human", aye? if you told that bot "help me put this couch in the back of my truck" it would simply just stand there like the idiot it is. 24 minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzVvn8wxj2Y P.S. one of the comments said this: "that video could be condensed to 2 minutes."

    regardless of all of that, that black man demonstrated why all of these illegals are being rounded up and deported. i WOULD NOT want to live in a community full of his kind. what did DHS call them again? depraved monsters? now i get to hear all about how "bigoted" and "racist" i am. like i said earlier, some do indeed have a "good heart" but the fact still remains, they are here illegally and they know it and they need to be deported.

    exactly. that was the entire intent of that black man, to intimidate you (ben) and to keep others from saying anything. his rhetoric does nothing other than to reinforce bens argument and he doesn't even realize it. especially when it comes to centuries old history. yes, britain has done some horrific things in its quest to secure resources but i would like to think britain today is tad more enlightened than their 400 year old grand daddies. moreover, this isn't "just a british issue" it applies to the u.s. as well. unfortunately you can't discuss the issue without appearing racist or bigoted and it's this right here is what the fuel is. any attempts to solve it provides the needed fuel that drives it.

    that protester said "who started it". my response would have been: "it sounds like you want to start a conflict, NOT to resolve anything". IOW it's a way to divide people, a way to keep them from forming a unified front. using that protesters rhetoric we can assume they are looking to "conquer" great britain which by all rights would give YOU every reason for wanting them out of there. ah yes, the mind of a small man indeed. yeah, you're some big black bag of (word filtered). BTW, that protester probably came from haiti if the truth was known. haitians are known for its violence. i don't feel sorry at all for ANYONE in that new jersey jail. no, jails aren't pretty nor should they be. as a matter of fact, the fear of going to jail is probably the number one reason most people don't commit crimes, and these nutsack lefties wants to GET RID OF THEM.

    i don't even like discussing it because it makes me rip snort too much. it positively makes me physically ill. the u.s. government knew who the rat pack was/ is back in 2001. i honestly dread the dems regaining control of the white house. NWO? it's probably closer than any of us realize i don't know about europe but america has become decidedly fractured over the course of the last 20 years. i also think it could be an honest effort to fix a problem that has been propagandized. such is the state of politics. i once said "politics is what nightmares are made of" and "politics causes brain rot".

    this new obsession with the AI

    let's get a minor point cleared up here. there are indeed "illegal immigrants" that are on the "right side" of things. this is EXACTLY why the patriot act was enacted in the united states, to track, capture, and eliminate these international trouble makers. thanks to democrats, this piece of legislation has been thoroughly gutted. it's also the reason behind the mess we have now, democrats doing everything they can to stop ice agents from doing their jobs. this of course floods our courts which in turn increases the amount of time an illegal is held in detention. yes, yes, yes, we all know they din do nuffin. the female in pink completely misses the point. it isn't because they are illegal immigrants, it's because they shouldn't be here in the first place. here in america illegal immigration used to be felony offense, a major crime in itself. not anymore, thanks to the squatters that called itself the biden administration, the very same administration that held negotiations with the goons that burned and looted our cities, BLM. sometimes i wished i lived in japan but i'm not sure i would like it very much. i would essentially be considered like something offensive sort of like carrying a dildo around in church. few realize just how racist the japanese actually are. they are so racist they don't even like those that look asian like the chinese and koreans. that's one of the reasons their crime rate is so low, lack of immigration.

    this new obsession with the AI

    thanks to sherman i've ran across an interesting web page, a VERY interesting web page. https://naprotechnology.com/ check this out: One of Dr. Hilgers’ pivotal discoveries is the standardized observation of menstrual and fertility cycles. Women chart with the Creighton Model FertilityCare System for gynecologic health maintenance, and couples use it to achieve or avoid pregnancy. Trained physicians can read a woman’s CrMS chart universally — this is the key to unraveling the mysteries of the menstrual and fertility cycle. -ibid you'll notice the article uses "woman" and "women" synonymous with FEMALES. it's IMPOSSIBLE for a "transgender woman (mab)" to get pregnant. maybe the left needs to murder a few more kirks and others and dox more doctors. kirk wasn't "spreading hate", he was simply voicing the truth about the matter. a truth somebody doesn't want you to know. YWNBAF, get over it. something else i want to mention is i asked my doctor the following question "if a transgender came to you for diagnosis and/ or treatment, how would you treat that person, by what they claim to be or by their biological make up"? my doctor said "interesting question". surely any doctor would know to treat the person by their biology, not by any subjective "feeling" they might have. i'm almost positive the above website will get hate mail, how naprotechnology.com is a pack of transphobic haters.

    added to that, does a doctor actually condone such a thing. does a doctor look at a 6 foot 100 pounder and say "you look great !"? no, a doctor is going to tell you "you need to gain weight". you know, the exact opposite of what the anorexic wants. this transidiocy is sowing the seeds to put a stop to even THAT. there is a reason the transgender ideologues wanted to ban "when harry became sally". and like the books i've already mentioned, no one has zoomed in here and explained how they got it wrong. also, there's a significant discrepancy between mab and fab detransitioners i haven't been able to reconcile, and i highly suspect it has something to do with motives.
