Who cares what Gen X thinks, they have all the money.

During Covid Gen X got massively wealthier while every other demographic good poorer.

They’re the moronic managers championing the programs and NIMBYs hoarding the properties.

Unique links are created when Grok users press a button to share a transcript of their conversation - but as well as sharing the chat with the intended recipient, the button also appears to have made the chats searchable online.

This is t he r second article about chatbots “leaking” ended users share their chats with search indexing enabled.

That isn’t leaking. That’s just shitty journalism.

I hate grok.

Which is also simple and elegant

The problem is those morons haven’t taken any of the advanced classes and probably got D’s in the basic ones.

I moved in to a house with a garage and my in laws are constantly trying to give us crap to fill it up.

I don’t even know where they’re getting this stuff, they just show up and are like “oh, we’re getting rid of this dresser, we thought you’d like it” or “or, I bought this antique trunk at a yard sale, can you hold on to it”.

I think they got in trouble for killing too many test animals but got approved for human trials.

That’s good to hear

I still get flak from my players about the time they rang a church bell and were surprised the baddies heard it and all came inside and killed them.

I know it’s not the same, but what did they expect?

This tech could be life changing for blind or deaf people

Too bad it’s not being designed for them.

Nope, but at least I’m not supporting a company that actively does this.

Yep.

And if anyone doubts this, 15 years ago I had made a tool that created these types of profiles as a proof of concept.

I had scraped tons of subreddits, then you could pass in a user and based on both their subreddits and key words would categorize users across a few axes. That was just using naïve bayes, but worked pretty well.

The AI is just much much better at natural language processing to pull out more detailed info about patterns.

This is a great example of how profiles on all of us are going to be made by governments and corporations unless we take privacy seriously.

Those offers for new grads were always insane and never going to last. That was entirely a sign of the zero interest rate bubble during covid.

The GPT5 launch would give me pause if I were a prospective investor

They’re still losing money, performance is only increasing marginally, and that launch looked like it had no validation or due diligence. Plus Meta is trying to siphon off their employees with offers of 10s of millions of dollars.

Anthropic has mostly taken over the dev space, GPT is lagging on MCP and tool ineroperabilitiy locking them behind a paywall with limited use…

Then the CEO comes out and days they’re in a bit of a bubble, but want half a trillion dollars to make more capital expenditures.

Unless the design of chips dramatically changes the economics are borderline, and OpenAI is fumbling on the PR/mindshare front.

I visited /r/myboyfriendisai and it was not funny.

It was genuinely fucked up on so many levels.

I wish i had eye stalks.

Yeah that’s fair, and I do agree with Cloudflare stamping out that behaviour.

What I’m trying to say is there are cases where AI agents act for the user in what the traditional user agent role of browsers would be.

ETA: That doesn’t excuse things like not having a search index to prevent mass scale access, this would be near 1-1 access patterns per user, which would be infrequent/spaced out

For a lot of AI search I actually end up reading the pages, so I don’t know how much this stops that

Cloudflare runs as a CDN/cache/gateway service in front of a ton of websites. Their service is to help protect against DDOS and malicious traffic.

A few weeks ago cloudflare announced they were going to block AI crawling (good, in my opinion). However they also added a paid service that these AI crawlers can use, so it actually becomes a revenue source for them.

This is a response to that from Perplexity who run an AI search company. I don’t actually know how their service works, but they were specifically called out in the announcement and Cloudflare accused them of “stealth scraping” and ignoring robots.txt and other things.
