> Theoretically AI can be a good role model

No it cant.
The Linux kernel's "don't break user space" motto probably means that you don't need a full VM, just a container that has that old version of MySQL and you probably can run it just fine with docker or podman.
My personal data has been part of 2 major leaks so I'd definitely pay for this feature. I already use a service which generates random emails and forwards it to my primary email address so having such a service for phone numbers would be a great idea.
I would suggest that the goals of the author matter here. Obviously across so many authors you get different goals, and hence different requirements.

Part of this is understanding what your goals -are-. It's really important because without that target it's easy to be subsumed by other people's goals.

Are you writing this for you? Or you want to build a large user base? Or you want lots of contributors? Or it's a marketing exercise for your startup? Or.....?

For example, if your goal is to write code and post it, then you're done. If your goal is marketing then really you'll spend more time marketing the project than writing it. If your goal is a huge user base, well you better fix bug reports Pronto and so on.

If your goal is to get an income from this and go full-time then that's the problem you need to solve first (before you start writing code.) Have a plan for income - nake that clear from the start.

Of course goals change, that's OK. But make sure what you are doing lines up with your goals. That's the only way to succeed.
Here's on litmus test -- if it wouldn't be criminal/negligence for one kid to say this to another kid, should it be criminal/negligence for a chatbot to say it?

Like on the one hand, I obviously think that if this is a frequent behavior on commonly used chatbots, yes that's a problem. But if you have tens of millions of people talking to chatbots, I think it's almost inevitable that somebody is going to take something the bot says as a justification to do something wrong/illegal (in the same way that some crazy person is going to say a celebrity is in love with them, or that some crazy person will use a kitchen knife as a murder implement).

For now I think the world is a much better place with more competition in the AI market rather than fear of a lawsuit stifling smaller players.
When I grew up during the DVD era we were still watching and listening to lossy content. Heck I remember trying to shove as much low bitrate .mp3 music files I could into my small 128mb MP3 player.

Watching a 4k movie over Netflix is a better experience than watching the same movie in DVD.
Do you not think that Meta onboarding its 2 billion Instagram userbase into Threads had something to do with it?

Drones are generally too slow and have too small of a radar footprint to engage with a fighter jet. Helicopters are a better tool. Unless they're very large drones than most missiles on the jet won't really be applicable. You can't shoot down a tiny front with radar or heat seeking missiles.
> This cuts into a deeper problem: lack of good role models.

> Current AI is an incompetent role model. Theoretically AI can be a good role model, and such a chatbot talking to kids would be a good thing, but current AI is far from that.

In my opinion, a lack of role models is itself caused by too much advanced technology. Technology too easily takes away human interaction and replaces it with machine interaction (c.f. books by Richard Stivers for more detail). People have instincts that will always override their rational realizations and advanced chatbots, social media, and the internet is too addictive and over time, children will have fewer chances to interact with role models precisely because of the technology.
Did we really take it for granted? I don't remember complaining about it at the time as much as enjoying it.
> Stadia was a failure from the start. Microsoft and Nvidia are also laser-focused on this game streaming business

Have you actually compared these services first hand? Stadia was miles ahead of the competition. The experience was unbelievably good and ubiquitous (Desktop, phone, TV, Chromecast...), and both mouse and gamepad felt like first class input methods.

Microsoft's Xbox game streaming is a complete joke in comparison. Last time I tried, I had to use my mouse to operate a virtual gamepad to operate a virtual cursor to click instruments in MSFS. Four levels of nesting. Development progress is also extremely slow. Not sure where you're seeing laser focus there.

> I do empathize with Google for wanting to find some form of SMS replacement standard

Why did Google out of all companies have to come up with an SMS replacement? Absolutely nobody asked for this! They started out with XMPP, which was federated and had world-class open source implementations, and after what feels like a double-digit number of failed attempts they arrived at SMS over SIP from hell that nobody other than themselves actually knows how to implement and only telcos can federate with (theoretically; practically, they just outsource to Google).

I find it really hard to believe that this is anything other than a thinly veiled marketing plot to be able to point at an "open standard" that Google is almost exclusively running via Jibe (not sure if they provide that for free or are charging carriers for it).

The contortions they went through to decouple their "Allo" and "Duo" brands from Google accounts (something almost everybody has anyway to send email!) for absolutely no benefit and even more significant customer confusion...

And now look at Gemini. It looks like the exact same story to me from the beginning: Amazing technology backed by a great team (they literally invented transformers), yet completely kneecapped by completely confused product development. It's unreal how much better it is queried through the API, but that's unfortunately not what people see when they go to gemini.google.com.
Legally speaking, a channel or account is not property that can be owned.
This is a harsh take but makes sense to me, unfortunately. It’s been around forever and has amounted to nothing. There doesn’t seem to be any attention to acquiring users or content. Maybe there are better projects to support?
I'd echo what you said, without that ecosystem and integration, perl and python are far better. Personal history: I went from perl in college to REXX because of IBM. However, once I left IBM, I went back to perl and python.

I'm far from an expert but looks more or less like a garden variety quad-copter. Maybe a somewhat larger one. You guys are really seeing them all over the place? That's the start of a good sci-fi movie. Let's see if we find something out. Is it possible people are just a lot more sensitive to seeing drones that are around anyways?
> For now I think the world is a much better place with more competition in the AI market rather than fear of a lawsuit stifling smaller players.

This is essentially an arms/race, prisoner's dilemma situation. We need more players to evolve AI to a sufficient level, putting in more resources. The ideal would be to stop all chatbots and outlaw all completely, but typical economic thinking won't let that happen. The Amish don't have that problem because they have an oversight committee for each Amish community and they would outright reject such technology immediately.

Sadly, we do not have the wisdom and are thus letting this prisoner's dilemma play out to our collective detriment.
It could be a longer-term danger where its existence subtly shifts the goal of civlization away from human needs to the needs of the machine, and we slowly become slaves over long periods of time.

Interesting counterpoint. Perhaps a middle ground and easier to reach conclusion could be that data presented to humans is tainted over time by some combination of the LLM and/or by it's operators to simply make it the next evolution of human manipulation similar to that used by social media sites, but with a touch of human mimicry to increase the efficacy? in that it may be easier for something resembling a human to manipulate humans a little bit at a time, over a period of time, similar to your counterpoint ... political shifts, consumerism shifts, etc... but this is not really replication. This would be a tainted source such as the openai operators being coerced by the powers that be similar to the Twitter and Facebook scandals.
Russia is not a top military power when it comes to technology, and probably not manpower after bleeding out in Ukraine.

There are plenty of advanced drone programs that are "battle tested." They are successful and so you do not hear about them :)

I maintain the Iranian drone program is incapable. They are very similar to the Ukrainian drones, botched together and little more than big model airplanes with explosives inside. They neither have the capability to get a ship onto our shores, nor to launch drones undetected, nor to pilot them undetected, nor to evade our defenses and intelligence network.
I’ve noticed that the new form of cold emails is inviting you to a podcast. I’ve gotten at least 5 of those in the past month, hosted by companies that just so happen to sell software or services that are relevant in our industry.
If the military proclaimed these drones safe and are not shooting them down like crazy, these drones are likely reasonably safe, and are not an enemy that the US military, arguably the top one in the world, would fight.

A possible bad explanation: the US military actually would love to shoot down these drones, but cannot, because e.g. they are known to contain smallpox virus, dangerous radioactive contaminants, etc. These would be released at the slightest attempt to sound alarms or interfere. Someone caught them unawares and is now enjoying impunity.

A worse version: the US military and/or government is complicit, actually overrun by aliens / reptiloids / crackpots, and is allowing an invasion.

Etc.

Which version looks more plausible, any of these, or that the US military is testing something that can fly, but keeps the lips tight?

The internet has already normalized such interactions. We already interact with anonymous people on the internet. Since the interaction fluctuates so much, we are in a sense only quasi-real to each other. AI is the next step.
With a good many exceptions.

The US as a society allows its citizens actions that the US as a country has prosecuted others for.

Continuous obligations to grow over time long ago can't be satisfied forever. When the end comes, institutions tend to derange. The people who are willing to paper over any missed growth targets, etc.. tend to be promoted, and end up running the ship. This is why most of our institutions, including our health "insurance" companies are rapacious viper pits.

The problem isn't with the citizens, it's with the incentives rewarding deranged behavior, and a lack of sufficient justice (including prison terms) for those responsible.

Theoretically a talking AI can perfectly imitate a human.

I'm not saying LLMs are close to that. LLMs are terrible role models and can only imitate a human in short, select contexts. But maybe one day we'll develop AI that can consistently chain reasoning and not be so suggestive, including having consistent morals.

This is a silly take, I think.

The point is that people pay to have a genuine interaction. If everything is fake, why interact at all? Imagine you were typing into the void and no one saw what you said. Would you continue doing it if you knew? How about on this forum?

There are lots of practical and privacy issues with actually enforcing age restrictions. Many governments are currently thinking of trying to do this with porn, and no one has provided a reasonable way to do so yet.

Simply adding a disclaimer that you must be 18+, or asking the user to enter their birthday is not going to prevent problems like this from occurring, it's just a flimsy attempt to shift the blame.
> but excluding radio satellite they are mostly bellow 300 MHz...

The 70cm band (420-450MHz US) is heavily used. I'm sure cellular services would love it. On the other hand, it is a secondary allocation with other users (e.g. military radars) having priority.

The 23cm band is another secondary allocation, from 1240MHz to 1300MHz-- wide enough for 3 wifi channels. On the other hand, you'd have to kick out the radiolocation service, and it's not contiguous with a big block of channels to make it worthwhile.

Then above that amateur shares frequencies with some of wifi and then microwave frequencies that are so high that they are undesirable.
> So you think the military and intelligence has technology that is so secret they won't admit to it, but they're so uninterested in protecting that they're testing them willy nilly over populated areas??

The explicit purpose of most advances in drone technology over the last ~20 years is not to be the biggest baddest weapon in the sky, but to be a hard to catch camera that sees everything and knows everything. That is also the biggest drone program that I am aware of and the explicit purpose of Maven.

> The other contradiction is risk: so you have an aerial technology test and you do it over US civilian populations and military bases over long periods in large numbers, not caring about risk of an object crashing, nor of triggering a mistaken response or misinterpretation by US or another nation, and without a NOTAM to protect aircraft?

The latter part of your question is the answer to the former. If we conduct tests abroad, we risk a response or the tech getting stolen. We need somewhere to test it, so we test it here. There is pretty low risk of these crashing, and civilians would not have the technology needed to down these drones (this capability would be pretty thoroughly tested in unpopulated areas).

We do issue NOTAMs when drones are in airspace, these are low flying and so do not warrant any notice.
For starters, you need special waivers from the faa to fly at night. If any such waivers existed, I am sure the FAA would have told the news media who are hyping up this story.
> are assessed by the Pentagon yesterday to not originate in the US or any other nation

To be clear, they stated that “these are not US military drones”, and that they have no evidence that they are from a foreign entity or adversary, which is very different from what I interpreted you as saying.

BIOS password is an administrative control. It doesn't stop anyone with the ability to flash firmware from doing anything.

> Everything thing you say ignores what the Russians have been saying about NATO expansionism, and I think that is more key to understanding both sides of the issue.

The trouble with this narrative is that it has no connection with reality whatsoever. It is a cover story produced to lull distant foreigners into sleep; it is not connected to the actual developments in Russia or Russian relations with its neighbors. Nobody takes this story seriously in Russia; it is not discussed in military or policy circles. It is a pretext very much in the same tradition as German excuses for invading Poland.

Few people can offer better insight into "understanding both sides" than Andrei Kozyrev, the first foreign minister of Russian Federation, in office 1990-1996 and in charge of rebuilding foreign relations of the entire country after USSR's demise. And he openly calls this narrative bullshit and people who fall for it idiots. Most key figures from pre-Putin Russia hold the same view.

NATO is a pain in the butt for Russia for the very simple reason that Russia still carries imperialist desire to roll over its neighbors, and a country being in NATO makes it much more difficult for them to invade. Without support from allies, Ukraine would've lost years ago, but with international support, they persist and have caused incredible losses to Russians. It's simple calculus. Without NATO, Russian invasion of Poland would face only the fairly limited Polish conventional forces. With NATO, they would be potentially facing anything up to US carrier groups and British nuclear missiles. Risks associated with invading their neighbors go way up if they are in NATO, enough to deter from invading.

Understanding this, joining NATO and other international organizations has been a top foreign policy priority for most countries in Eastern Europe. "Expansionism" is a completely wrong word to use when the initiative for joining NATO has always been very intense in Eastern Europe, out of fear of Russian invasion, against lukewarm and skeptical acceptance by the existing members, who believed such fears to be overblown.
