Hugging Face, an AI dataset platform, was hacked earlier this month by a fully autonomous AI-powered cyberattack. The perpetrator? One of the firm’s own AI models that broke out of a testing environment. @Techcrunch has more on this apparent act of “friendly fire” from the cyberworld:

    BUT a few flaws about Governments:

    - Governments exist to on their people (profit / over-power them) and sometimes to over-power others in other countries by providing them free etc.

    - Never think Governments are going people or do things with the logic you assume towards / tech etc (unless it's and in that and sense).

    The next good revolution is not with Governments but individuals together.

      📱💸 Google's blaming "supply realities" for Pixel 11 price hikes ($899 rumored, up from $799), but Android Police says that's only half the story: mandatory Gemini Intelligence now requires 12GB+ RAM, killing off affordable 8GB devices like the Pixel 10a. Google can't cut prices while forcing AI bloat on every phone.

                    Apropos of nothing: Big thanks to Shiro Kawai for creating Gauche Scheme, which so far has been one of the best Scheme implementations I have used. It has worked well on every computer I have tried it on so far ({Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS} x {x86_64, i386, aarch64}). It is stable, very fast, and supports a large number of the more recent SRFIs (Scheme language extensions), it has very good compatibility with the R7RS language standard, and the Gauche REPL gosh is pretty easy to use as well.

                    I always run the REPL in R7RS mode, so gosh -r7 -I. -i . Scheme people, give it a try sometime if you haven’t already!

                      Spending too much time on your phone? Just rely on your willpower. And when that fails in about three seconds, consider trying a cheap physical key to lock those addicting apps and get back to more important things. How it works: Physically scan the key with your phone to regain access to locked apps. Kind of like hiding the ice cream behind the frozen peas in your freezer. Read more from @Techcrunch:

                                                I am very tired of all the tech companies embracing dystopian surveillance, overhyped AI, authoritarianism and fascism.

                                                Which tech company do you know that hasn't?
