Yeah I don’t want to be one of those guys, but even streaming is something I’d recommend moving away from. These days I only boy media that lets me keep an actual file that I can put on a media server and then I stream to my devices over WiFi from that.
Not to make it sound like I’m judging you at all. This is pretty new for me and it took me a few years to fully transition over.
So Google uses something called “federated learning” which is not as fun as it sounds. It’s where they load a small model onto your device, train it on all your data, then send the resulting training data back to headquarters.
So it’s totally cool! Because your actual PII never leaves your device! Just everything about you statistically that might be useful to advertisers or governments! Really, whoever can pay!
Yeah 2 out of 100 headlines about LLMs are worth getting excited about. Like uses in developing new drugs, diagnosing cancers — that sort of thing.
If we can’t be pedantic in the comments of an aggregated story where is there left!
Yeah then just imagine what happens when the wrong sort of government asks for the keys to this dashboard.
This technology must be opposed.
That would indeed suck. Very paperclip maximising. Doesn’t even have to be malicious, really.
But yeah I was just reading about yet another critical CVE this morning. The third this week. And wondered to myself if I was seeing the end of the open internet.
Like will there be a day where it simply isn’t safe to leave a device just passively connected to the internet or any broadly distributed network? Like I’m behind two firewalls at work, surrounded by highly capable network and cybersecurity PhDs and still one of our systems got low-key pwned just this month.
