Since the article talks about the failure of AI in the context of the 10/7 I think it’s worth discussing the situation directly. Everything points to the Israelis not having taken their security seriously beyond the tactical level. I’m certain they thwarted other attacks, but it was an inevitability that a major attack was successful at some point. Such an attack would necessitate a military response. However the Israelis have no strategic vision. They lacked serious plans for such an eventuality and still lack a serious goal for their invasion of Gaza. They haven’t articulated anything that indicates a vision to meaningfully change the situation from the 10/6 state to something more sustainable. Therefore, it doesn’t seem like a reasonable takeaway to say AI failed.
We need to stop anthropomorphizing LLMs. They are models, not intelligences.

An LLM isn't gullible. An LLM is inclusive. It doesn't have any process to reject or even categorize the data it is given. That means that everything an LLM encounters becomes part of it.

The only thing we have to accommodate that is to fill an LLM with enough overconfident narrative to overshadow the rest. This is a footgun, though, because overconfidence is identical to stubbornness. If your overconfident narrative is enough to override any arbitrary undesirable input, it will also override desirable input.

There is no way to single out undesirable content from inside a model, because truth and lie are literally written the same.

The 32X initially sold well, and media coverage was much stronger than the 3DO/Jag/CDi. But SEGA abandoned support for it REALLY quickly. I had a 32X at launch and was excited, but almost all the games sucked. Shadow Squadron is like the only legitimate non-port, original game that's pretty good lol and it came out when the system was about dead.

I think consumers were def skeptical of the 32X despite the marketing, and that was the main thing, in addition to an unimpressive library. Magazine coverage was decent but Gamepro in particular was very negative toward it. Like, Chaotix sucks but the music is amazing, and Gamepro not only trashed the game but gave even the music low marks because "no 32X audio is apparent" lol.
How does this work if the student declines to carry a mobile device? I own a smartphone so that I can receive SMS authentication codes from people like my bank, who haven't yet grokked that SMS is insecure. But: that phone never leaves my home - I don't carry it around. It isn't a "mobile" phone.

So that's going to be "Excuse me Miss, I can't run the app, because I don't bring a smartphone into class. Now can I please have a pee?"

I like to set an alarm for 9 hr 30 min before sunrise. This gives me 30 min to get ready for bed, and to go to bed with time for 6 full REM cycles of 1.5hr each. The rest of the timing (the timing of my rest?) is up to my body and how much sleep it wants.

When I do it this way, vs setting alarms, I'm always surprised by the sleep debt I've accrued and am now paying back.

Modern (especially urban) society demands a lot more of us than many of our bodies can sustain.

My kids got to meet four of their great grandparents, although they were still very young when they did pass away - I have pictures of them with their great-grandparents, but they don't have any memories of them. Mine were all long gone before I was born... I don't know that anything is being "lost" in the sense that it was something we used to have. Meeting one's great grandparents was very rare in generations past and continues to be.
I disagree about expectations. Boeing is expected to meet a reasonable standard of effort to build safe planes that can be competitive. Failures can and will happen, and in the same way we accept the risk of death by car accident every time we drive, no one is shouting "we must stop all air travel!!!" every time a plane fails and people die.

A really common sense standard of effort would be "people feel comfortable internally reporting problems". The opposite was true to the point that Boeing's management seemingly did everything possible to prevent people reporting issues. And now, potentially, someone with an interest in Boeing felt this strongly enough that someone was literally murdered over reporting a problem.

The ashkenazi population is about 30% of Israeli Jews, and Arab Israelis are about 21% of the population.

Palestinians have a fair amount of Anatolian, Lebanese, Armenian, and Iranian ancestry. So again there’s quite a bit of phenotypic variation. There’s also a high degree of genetic relatedness to even the Ashkenazi Jews.

In practice if you lined up 100 random Israelis and Palestinians you aren’t going to reliably determine who is who based on appearances.

Well that rings some bells. It's as if there's a religion where the sacred totem is a graph that goes up and to the right.

> They attacked their neighbor, they will suffer consequences of the choices of their elected governors.

Hamas is in no meaningful sense elected by the people of Gaza (the last election was before most people now living their were alive, much less eligible to vote); given that it is Israel that has blocked new all-Palestine elections in the last decade, Israel had had more say in choosing Hamas as the government in Gaza than the people fo Gaza have had. (And ministers in the current Israeli government have explicitly said they actively preferred to keep Hamas in power because the division between Hamas and the Fatah-led administration in the West Bank and the extremism of Hamas provides political cover against pressure to make peace and accept a Palestinian State.)

Beyond physical obstruction, sleep apnea can also be neurological which is the more annoying one since only air pressure seems to fix it. You simply stop breathing.

Obstructive apnea doesn't need to be caused by fat either. I always thought sleep apnea was a fat person's problem until I realized at age 30 that when I slept on my back, the tissue mass at the base of my tongue was dropping into my airway. And I'm fit/slim and also a nasal breather.

(I used to think I always woke up gasping for breath in my 20s because I had frequent nightmares. Ugh, wish I could go back and fix it sooner.)
I don't think many would consider it a privilege.

Or maybe not having pee on their floor is a privilege the school enjoys, one that could be taken away by a student at any time.

I think - like a lot of media reporting on the space - this overgeneralizes (heh) artificial intelligence. The predictive aspects of ML have been in use in modern militaries for _decades_, and the opening graf handwavely indicates that an LLM was a bigger chunk of the perceived intelligence failure of the October 7 attack.

That an LLM is a part of a system that includes a large amount of ML is not surprising. It's a great human interface. Do I for a second believe that it played a much larger role, such to be implied as responsible in any non-negligble way for missing the attack. Of course not.

My point here is that ML continues to play a role, ML continues to both succeed and fail, and ML will continue to be imperfect, even moreso as it competes against adversarial ML. Blaming imperfect tools for inevitable failures is not a useful exercise, and certainly not a "problem" considering the alternative being even more failure-prone humans.
What if veganism is not about optimizing the human experience? To me it sounds cruel to say that there is no harm in milking a cow, pretty sure that milk was meant for someone else.
I also think murder is too strong a word to use when it comes to livestock. Murder is really a human concept with legal implications involving premeditation (or not) and various other legal mumbo jumbo.

Killing is what some animals do to one another in the wild, maybe even their own species. Killing animals is something humans do for sport and as a food source.
The terrorist ends wherever a threat to the state's power exists, it's been shown quite well that they don't care if you're domestic or not. This, IMO, is why "self-radicalized" and "domestic terrorist" were injected into our vernacular, to normalize and justify the need to surveil the general public.

The thing is, and like I mentioned in a post awhile back: technically competent actors, the ones bound to cause the most harm, would absolutely be using a bespoke method of covert communication. There's really little value, IMO, to the countrywide dragnet outside of sentiment analysis and control.

The military complex wove itself early into the tech industry in ways that they could intentionally side-step laws meant to keep such public/private collusion from happening[0]. The impetus for the founding of the collaboration was a report on the importance in controlling perception in future wars.

We saw the same strategy deployed directly against the American people during the election "fortification" where DHS and social media colluded to control perception with little regard for truth[1].

> It's worse than animal agriculture based on what evidence?

Currently there is no evidence of any kind. The costs of meat production are well known, but the costs in energy and chemicals for the production of various kinds of protein extracts are not known, because they are "proprietary".

I nobody is able to offer for sale low-cost protein extracts for human consumption we can only assume that the production costs are high, i.e. that each pound of protein extract requires a large amount of energy and/or chemicals.

> a study published in Nature 2022 found that

Searching the Internet right now, I have found a non-paywalled copy of that study: "Projected environmental benefits of replacing beef with microbial protein".

Nevertheless, exactly like I have expected, that study is useless. It does not contain what the abstract says.

It contains what seems to be an accurate analysis of what would be gained if the production of meat would be reduced, by using an alternative source of protein.

Nevertheless, to compute the net benefit, we also need a computation of the production costs for the protein provided by the alternative source. Such a computation is missing from the article. There is no information about the energy consumption and about the chemicals consumption that would be required by the alternative sources.

Some forms of microbial fermentation can provide high-quality protein, perhaps even without any harmful substances that must be removed, but the protein has a low concentration in the growth medium. Separating the protein from the water and from the waste products of the fermentation would need much energy.

In the more distant future, growing a bioengineered multicellular organism, like a fungus or a parasitic plant, seems a much more viable path, because such an organism can grow a big edible fruiting body, with whatever nutritional composition and texture is desired. Such an edible fruiting body can be detached and used for cooking with minimal processing, without additional energy consumption.
> Therefore, it doesn’t seem like a reasonable takeaway to say AI failed.

There are a lot of reasons - from quite intuitive to conspiratorial - to not take the idea that AI caused or meaningfully contributed to this failure at face value. Or that it was a failure of intelligence in the first place.
I can’t speak for Israeli tech, but the pentagon has an image problem in the valley, I don’t believe they are getting the best recruits even for contracting companies like Palintir. Our generation is closer to Iraq and Vietnam than WW2, and many of the bright minds are first generation immigrants. Despite the more recent image problems ad tech has (now that people are seeing more of how the sausage is made), it’s still sexier to work on big consumer companies than defense. You’d have to pay my colleagues more to work for the US government, even indirectly, instead it’s often less (and often with less freedoms of what they do off the clock).

And now, what I’m reading is that if you do go contract for the military in AI, your function is partially some kind of scapegoat insurance. Blame those eggheads with their computers who can be fooled, not the fools who hired them and acted on that signal above others I guess?

The idea that a chatGPT model would have been a deciding factor in preventing 10/7 is laughable on its face to anyone who works in the industry, except maybe a consultant selling LLMs to the IDF.

> In an effort to get the plane out quickly, Boeing, with the assent of the FAA, had even told the airlines that their pilots didn’t need to conduct flight simulator tests. That was a critical mistake, because the pilots would have discovered the issue that caused the planes to crash.

Is that so? The simulators would have been able so simulate the failure of one of the two AOA sensors, and the simulated MCAS would've kicked in, issuing stabiliser trim nose-down commands, and the pilots would've tried to fix it with the trim nose-up switch on the yoke, and this would've gone back and forth a while until they'd stopped trimming up for a bit, and it would've simulated a crash?

That's possible, but news to me. Here's a source [0] saying "the simulators have been shown to be incapable of replicating the conditions under which the two 737 MAX aircraft crashed" and "Boeing have discovered that their simulators cannot accurately recreate a fault with the anti-stall system."

Seems to me that (at least) one of the two articles is wrong.
