I’m glad to see this article get shared some here (non-pw here: archive.is/PHbqH)
I’m very proud of my In-laws for being brave enough to tell their story while many victims understandably are scared to. This kind of #asianhate can be hard to see sometimes. Building awareness to protect is key. 1/2

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

So the new AI from Anthropic is really good at programming. In 2 prompts it made me a Sisyphus arcade game.
Ironically, due to some error, the ball keeps rolling around but you can never touch it.

This is the fundamental paradox of AI: if it's actually helping you, there is no way to know when it is no longer helping you.
Put another way: if you can supervise it effectively enough to catch its mistakes, you probably didn't need it in the first place.

Scaling up and shaping up large language models increased their tendency to provide sensible yet incorrect answers at difficulty levels humans cannot supervise, highlighting the need for a shift in AI design towards reliability, according to a paper in Nature. go.nature.com/4eCAnis 🧪
