In capitalism, if the demand is outstripping supply then eventually higher prices will command greater investment and the eventual return to normalcy of the supply vs demand curve. In theory it is more of the same, but how prolonged it will be will be dependent on when the AI supply/demand curve achieves normalcy.
Does anybody remember the blue square tiled kitchen counter with 1/4” grout? I cringe at it every time I watch the movie.

Can anybody help me understand the threat of these advanced models once the public and adversaries have access to them? I understand they can find software bugs and vulnerabilities and I get that US tech companies are using it to make their software more secure, but all of these companies have the benefit of their source code being available as an input to the model. Everybody else only has compiled binaries. Do the bad guys use the models to decompile or reverse engineer the code first?

I’m sorry that you feel that way. To my credit, they did indicate a lack of ambition to audit the code. Perhaps saying that’s lazy is a step too far, but I think my point is valid. If you cite your lack of ambition to audit the code and then complain that you cannot trust the code is definitely having it both ways by my book.
You on the other hand cited available bandwidth as the reason to not audit the code. Also a fair reason. You also have the choice not to use the software if you do not trust it. This was why I was trying to understand your comment. If you don’t have available bandwidth to audit the code and that is the reason you don’t care to use it then perhaps that mentality should extend to all FOSS software and you shouldn’t use any of it.

To what are you referring, though? Are you saying that you won’t ever use FOSS because you do not have the bandwidth to assure it is secure?

You cannot have it both ways. The source code is open for the sake of transparency. You can’t complain about not trusting the author when the code is readily available. Nothing wrong with laziness, but it’s not that you couldn’t check if you were really that concerned.

Wow. I’m not a YT music person and MacOS is my daily drive, but this looks incredible. Well done and a very nice contribution to the community.
Good lord, come up with a dumber excuse after a post like this.

I’m sure there is bluetooth device scanning occurring as well to identify individuals through their phones.
Here is a whole directory of them as a starter. Many retro pages from this directory but many sites are active and get regular updates.
