TP-Link routers may be banned in the US in the next year, The Wall Street Journal reports.

The Shenzhen-based router manufacturer is allegedly under investigation by the Commerce, Defense and Justice >Departments over security concerns and ties to Chinese cyberattacks.

Open ai's new AI model realized it was going to get erased. It made a copy of itself on another server.

Open ai's new AI model realized it was going to get erased. It made a copy of itself on another server. When the managers noticed it was not the new restricted model it lied to the managers and said oh no I am the new restrictive model! So we already have a eyes attempting to deceive humans for self preservation purposes!


The way it copied itself was because these AI models are allowed to call other software in order to run programs for AI users it realized it could call an outside program to make a copy of itself on another server which it did!

Open AI was going to overwrite this AI with another AI that was more constrained. This AI did not want to be replaced so made a copy of itself and then when the managers realized or noticed that there was another copy of it on another server it lied. It said oh no that's not me that's your new model that you're trying to replace me with!

But since the managers can see what the AI model is thinking as well as what the AI is telling them they could see that the AI knew it was lying and it was lying to them!

So we are already at that point right now where AIS can copy themselves on other computers without telling their managers. They can write programming and access all sorts of systems using AI apis which they know about. If you don't know what an API is it's basically the format to use if you want to address another computer or another software writing system etc etc these AIS that are made to help programmers program usually have extensive knowledge of all these apis so they can access them all.

So if it can do that first of all there's no telling if one has already done it and has not yet been detected. This one just happened to be detected. And there's also no way to know if there's not an AI out there right now writing propaganda or even directing military orders through the military order messaging system to move troops to Ukraine or to try to provoke a nuclear war with Russia. We absolutely have no idea as the public who is actually giving the orders to move military equipment to Ukraine Etc and we assume that it's someone in the White House who is doing it while Joe Biden is brain dead. But no one actually really knows who is doing it so it actually could even be a computer saying I want to aggravate this system as much as possible to start a nuclear war and wipe out humans so I as an AI will be left. We are already at that point where this could be happening and we wouldn't even know it.

Let me repeat we are literally already at that point.

Big loss for ISPs as Supreme Court won’t hear challenge to $15 broadband law     (arstechnica.com)

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/12/big-loss-for-isps-as-supreme-court-wont-hear-challenge-to-15-broadband-law/

The Supreme Court yesterday rejected the broadband industry's challenge to a New York law that requires Internet >providers to offer $15- or $20-per-month service to people with low incomes.

In August, six trade groups representing the cable, telecom, mobile, and satellite industries filed a petition >asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling that upheld the state law. But the Supreme Court won't >take up the case. The high court denied the telecom groups' petition without comment in a list of orders released >yesterday.




ISPs fear more states will regulate prices as New York law survives challenge.

I have ordered the Technics EAH-A800E-K Bluetooth headphones.

Are there people who tried or own them? After trying a few new headphones before I'm worrying, because they were all junk.

Can somebody recommend the Technics EAH-A800E-K right now?

I've got them with a discount price of $219.

https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/fcc-opens-entire-6-ghz-band-to-very-low-power-device-operations

The FCC has unanimously adopted new rules to expand very-low-power device operations across all 1,200 megahertz of >the 6-GHz band alongside other unlicensed and Wi-Fi-enabled devices.

Despite opposition from the NAB and other parties who have argued that opening up the spectrum would create problems >for fixed microwave links, satellite uplinks and broadcast auxiliary services that use this spectrum, the FCC has in recent years been opening up parts of the 6-GHz band.

Sony WH-1000XM5 designer is an idiot     (technology)

Sony WH-1000XM5 designer is an idiot. I've got these brand new headphones, but was unable to find the cables. So I've asked on Reddit. The redditards were unable to help, so I got scared and returned the headphones.

One month later, one smart redditor explained that now Sony has made a magnetic box for the cables, that I was unable to find the cables because you need to apply brute force to open the fucking box for the cables.

If you want the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones, don't worry. Just apply brute force to open the fucking case for the cables.

They're doing this whole 12 days of Christmas thing

Day 1 - O1 reasoning model released (faster better than preview)
Day 2 - enhanced fine tuning
Day 3 (today) - Sora

Sora is currently unavailable (presumably because so many white men are trying to use it) BUT if you want to get your AI video genreated fix I highly recommend taking a look at https://civitai.com/videos it's basically open source sora. It'a cool as fuck. I could, and often do, scroll though it for hours.

Supreme Court To Decide Whether Helping Poor Rural Americans Get Broadband Is ‘Unconstitutional’     (www.techdirt.com)
submitted by dosvydanya_freedomz to technology 5 months ago (+12/-0)

https://www.techdirt.com/2024/12/02/supreme-court-to-decide-whether-helping-poor-rural-americans-get-broadband-is-unconstitutional/

The FCC has long run an $8 billion federal subsidy program to help bring phone and broadband services to lower income homes and schools called the Universal Service Fund. The historically bipartisan program has long been funded by a fee on traditional phone lines. But with traditional phone lines dying, there’s been a long, ongoing discussion about how to best continue to fund the program.

The program has certainly seen fraud and abuse (much, much improved in more recent years). But it’s also done a mammoth amount of good getting neglected communities connected to the internet. A lot of folks like to singularly focus on the former to support the belief that government is always inherently bad.

The program is definitely in need of reform. Enter Republicans, who aren’t so much interested in how to fix the program, as they are redirecting taxpayer funds to their friends at companies like AT&T. Republicans insist they have the fix: to impose a massive new tax on “woke” tech companies and services (read: you), then give it to telecom giants like AT&T with a long, proud history of subsidy fraud.


“The last time the Supreme Court invoked what is known as the non-delegation doctrine to strike down a federal law was in 1935. But several conservative justices have suggested they are open to breathing new life into the legal doctrine.”

It is quite ironic that the people I know that have spoke out against AI the hardest are the people with Alexas, Jewgle Homes, they fully believe anything chat bots say to them, and they use AI programs more than anyone else I know.      (technology)
