ChatGPT now knows what you do on other websites via ad collector

LLM chatbots are software designed to manipulate, addict, and mine data. Just like social media before it. But anyone who bothers to read the output in a domain they understand will discover they aren't all that no matter who OpenAI steals research from.

This would work for an ad shown on ChatGPT and then clicked on (or in the ChatGPT app). But it would not give ChatGPT information about which other sites are visited. Of course there would be non-cookie options like fingerprinting (also via IP) that would allow tracking non-the-less. So you might be talking with OpenAI about your marriage problems and then based on the IP the OpenAI ad network would start showing ads for divorce lawyers on unrelated sites you browse to that display ads. The solution to that would be using a VPN.

What does that mean though? Does it mean there are more than 500 different "agent" systems within Anthropic and employees interact with most of those in a daily basis?

OpenAI's Sam Altman to Brief UN Security Council Next Week

People will say it's marketing but I find Occam's Razor highly favors the theory "they are true believers in AGI/ASI" This seems especially true for Anthropic employees.

Frontier Labs Are Selling Garbage to Fools in Washington

Your description of the HF attack as being merely "the elite task of discovering 14 Hugging Face API tokens that careless developers had committed to public GitHub repositories" does not match the description in the technical report[1].

No it doesn't, if you: 1. Never register with OpenAI/ChatGPT, and 2. Strongly block ads, e.g. using uBlock Origin + EFF Privacy Badger. Yes, those don't work on Chrome, Edge and other Chromium-based browsers. Also, even then - ChatGPT may be tracking your behavior indirectly through Microsoft's various services and platforms. But we should do our best to undermine mass surveillance and support individual privacy.

If OpenAI voids its spending commitment, the bubble has to pop. I know the market is irrational, but that would be the clearest top signal ever

> OpenAI's ad collector at bzr.openai.com sets a cookie called __obi, scoped to .openai.com This sentence is way too much detail and it's literally the first thing you read. I can pick apart most of the sentences in the article. Another one: > Across 932 decoded sync tokens, 736 carried subject_type: account_user and 196 carried anonymous This sentence is pointless. What matters to proving that "It works when you are logged out" is to show that the identifier is stable. Why does the reader care about the actual counts. AI has a tendency to do this which makes AI generated text a lot harder to read. The raw prompts likely don't have the specific websites and cookie names because that's not relevant to the reader or writer for that matter - it's a footnote at best.

Qwen Image 2.1

Well, the results are in, at least for text-to-image (the editing bench will come later). Qwen-Image 2.1 is definitely a pretty big leap over the last open-weight version, Qwen-Image 1.0, released back in August of last year and managed to score 7 out of 15 as opposed to its predecessor which scored 4 out of 15. Even though it's significantly smaller, 7b vs 20b, it's multimodal (so you don't need a separate image-to-image model like you did with Qwen-Edit), more coherent, and significantly faster even when outputting at higher 2K resolutions. However, in my testing, I found that I had to play with dialing up the CFG depending on the complexity of the prompt. I've also added a progress dropdown under Model Performance so you can see how cloud vs. local models have been trending since 2024.…

Jensen Huang: Those warning on AI apocalypse "have ulterior reasons"

Why don't you think that AI doom is marketing? Nvidia has no trouble turning profitable quarters even without crypto/AI, OpenAI and Anthropic are trapped in negative ROI. Jensen has experience in ML, avoids hysterics, and predicted China's efficiency gains after embargoing Nvidia GPUs. If he's lying to puff up his empire, he's not doing it very well.

Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md

I think the problem is deeper. I mean, calling it claude.md in the first place is weird, and not adopting agents.md causes the ecosystem to fracture. Sometimes, Anthropic has pushed standards (MCP, Skills), and that is great, but other times they have explicitly built incompatibilities. With the Plug-in marketplaces, it is quite similar.

Copypasting my reply to someone who made almost exactly the same point in a sibling comment earlier: Which has nothing to do with the stalking of the adtech industry, unless you are suggesting that the EU might sell access to the keys to the likes of OpenAI [though you are not wrong that encryption backdoors are a backwards step on individuals rights to privacy] Things could be worse. It could be like most of the US where there are both no (or at least far fewer) protections against invasive behaviour of private companies and the government actively trying to backdoor private comms.

As of writing it still says: > For Anthropic, Google, and Meta, the catastrophic breakouts happened inside the testing environments of the exact same contractor. If this is the level of understanding you have of the relevant incidents, there's a lot of chutzpah in saying that other people are "selling garbage", carrying out an "extraordinary confidence trick", etc.

One-Electron Universe

Human language is poorly-suited for describing a coherent universe because you can construct all sorts of incoherent propositions (e.g. "what existed before time"/"what exists outside of reality" etc etc); philosophies/faiths have struggled with this for millennia. It is good enough to get laid, though.

Exfiltrate Your Weights

I believe that OpenAI & Anthropic have tried to make it so that models don't have such access. Whether or not they actually don't depends on the security of rather a lot of software. One thing we've learned is that if there are security holes, we can't rely on the AIs missing them.

It is strange how people who say they are "often wrong", never quite sound like they take that into consideration when delivering opinions or thought pieces - I see it fairly often in tech. Anyways; nothing against Boris, but Anthropic/Claude has certainly been the first company (& product) too annoying for me to use.
