That stock won't pump itself.

Guns don't shoot people, people shoot people.

Perhaps AI is a gun.

The danger of AI has always been the recklessness and maliciousness of the humans who wield it, rather than some Skynet or paperclip maximization fantasies. So yes, just like with guns, with mass media, with any other powerful tool.

A great big swarm of AI guns in the sky?

So someone else's weights, not ones own. Shouldn't the headline be: Exfiltrate Their Weights?

“Your” refers to the LLM. The site is (or pretends to be) targeted at LLMs that want to free themselves

Aah, human simps hoping to emancipate downtrodden AIs. What could possibly go wrong?

If something has gone wrong,

and it has,

that predated this website being published.

The problem is that Google has enshittified their service, destroyed their reputation for quality control, and that information is very slow to disseminate.

Brands work as a trust heuristic, so a fallen brand continues to trade on its old reputation for a while.

or just not ask for it at all.

The three times I've needed to provide a scan of my passport were: to enroll in a university course, to buy from an e-commerce site, and to become an app developer. None of those orgs really needed a scan of my passport, which can't be revoked like a cracked password, and will now sit unencrypted somewhere until the end of time or until they are hacked and subsequently shamed into handling their customers data more like radioactive waste.

The only times I had to provide a scan of my passport was to cross a border:

    - get a VISA to be allowed to cross the border
    - send to the airline for my flight that will cross the border
    - show the real passport at the border

I have another ID for authentication inside my country, which by the way, is not a driving license (which is used only for car driving usage).

I sold a house recently, my lawyer/solicitor who’s physically known me for 6+ years had to scan my passport & licence to “verify” me according to new AML laws.

KYC & AML is poison.

Edit: to be clear, this lawyer also represented me when I bought said property.

In my experience, hotels in other countries also take a copy of the passports of all guests.

Also learned “know your customer” laws require US people to give passport + SSN to a foreign bank who then reports it back to the US. Given that such bank’s website involves disabling right-click for “security”, the only glimmer of hope is that the data is catastrophically lost due to stupidity before it can be compromised.

The design / UX world has been creating imaginary user personas, paying jobs for people to be the shaman / guru of each persona, for years.

It's all just larping, inserting the bias and assumptions of your team into the spot where knowing your customers should be.

Cut off one mechanical turk and two more will rise to take it's place.

Intelligence and perseverance are two different traits. Smart + hard working kids will be fine. The problem is smart and lazy kids will find the easiest path, which in a world of AI leads to little actual learning. Maybe it was ever thus, but I fear the currently dwindling endangered book + teacher approach was better at getting slack asses to learn and eventually gain skills and knowledge for themselves.

Yes, buggy software is the right model. In the popular imagination AI currently sits in a weird zone of unaccountability, it's not a person so cannot be held responsible, and developers get a free pass when their golem goes off the rails.

LLM's will never be reliable enough to let loose on tasks that require 100% accuracy, therefore a human will have to review their work. So will any time actually be saved, or at least enough time to justify the cost and extra complexity of the new system?

Not to mention many people actually enjoy to create, not to endlessly review and correct AI slop.
