Watch this video! :)

Hackers used to do this when people connected to “free” WiFi and the hacker had caused the WiFi to not be encrypted (Most if not all routers have fixed this with upgraded security standards & HTTPS) and the hacker would watch the traffic from every computer and grab the session keys/tokens. Everything from banking to facebook and this was before 2FA so they could completely take over these accounts.

Another reason VPNs can be very useful since your traffic is encrypted before its even sent.

The “PDF” the employee got was a supposedly work related email with the related PDF. Except the PDF was an executable that grabbed all the browser info including session keys. Always check your attachments are the type of file they claim to be.

Firejail is a useful app here. It auto sandboxes your apps and prevents them from interacting. Rogue app then can’t access your browser data.

Some inadequate loser has decided to complain about Watch this video! :) - #1219 by Southside

Is the inadequate loser pissed off that their side getting its arse kicked in Ukraine or are they simply trying to gain woke points by deliberately misunderstanding sarcasm?

Either way they are invited to attempt copulation with a rolling doughnut.

We will need a 3-phase version if we are going to stick one of them on @dirvine :slight_smile:

As a republican I abjure this device.

I suppose if I am going to keep slagging this I should really read the article … maybe later.

At this point it’s just people messing around. However things are advancing quickly. I for one am not shelling out $1k and $90 a month subscription. Hell no. I’ll wait for an open source device.

In this video, I will show you how to use Vicuna-13B, an open-source chatbot that claims to achieve 90% * quality of ChatGPT and Google Bard. I will also test its performance on various questions and compare it with other models. Vicuna-13B is trained on user-shared conversations from ShareGPT and fine-tuned on LLaMA. It is backed by an enhanced dataset and an easy-to-use, scalable infrastructure. Watch this video to learn more about this chatbot and see how it performs.

The results are impressive and are comparable to the responses of the ChatGPT. Vicuna 13B is an impressive model and could be a potential competitor to other Open-sourced models. Preliminary evaluation using GPT-4 as a judge shows Vicuna-13B achieves more than 90%* quality of OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard while outperforming other models like LLaMA and Stanford Alpaca in more than 90%* of cases.

What’s most shocking here is the training cost. They’ve really brought it down orders of magnitude.

I wonder if using specialized data sets to create expert GPT’s instead of one GPT to rule them all would be a way to further optimize and reduce costs.

there are plugins for “expert GPT”?

I don’t see why not.

Hillier asserts that political parties are essentially “crime families” engaged in “a lawful, legalized & authorized protection racket” in which “political parties exist for their betterment, their enrichment.”

Loren Carpenter Experiment at SIGGRAPH ‘91

From the doco All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace

It shows an experiment with emergent behavior and information feedback.

“I wanted to see if no hierarchy existed at all, what would happen? And they formed a kind of subconscious consensus.”

Makes you wonder, what kind of feedback loop should we set up that allows the network to achieve consensus in an imperfect information environment?

The whole doco is here, 3h over 3 parts, but I don’t feel it’s worth watching: https://vimeo.com/515004292

Why not? Too pessimistic?

More research on the benefits of Vit. D for mental health.

The doco poses really interesting questions. Thankfully it doesn’t try to answer the questions. It carves out a particular style of headspace for the audience to explore responses to those questions. But the headspace this doco chooses to inhabit is awful and there are loads of other ways for people to explore these issues which are much more interesting and productive. The culture of fear this doco tries to generate is really toxic.
