I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords

AI Self Driving Roadkill The "W" Word 6 Comments

Roger Simon;

I have been informed by Tesla that shortly, very shortly in fact, maybe even today, maybe even as I type this, I will be offered the opportunity to upload their latest software (2025.26) for my Model 3 that will include X’s own artificial intelligence Grok.

And it will be FREE! (sorry for the tasteless caps but I wanted to show the expected enthusiasm… well, partly),

I can see it all now. I’m barreling down the I-75 past Gainesville, heading toward Orlando, and suddenly feeling wicked hungry. I press the talk button…

“Russia is rapidly isolating its internet-connected infrastructure from the outside world.”

Richard Fernandez (facebook) – Suddenly it’s no longer safe to be an international big wheel: an oligarch, decorated general, intelligence colonel. The age of sending cannon fodder against the guns has been replaced by the targeted hit. Fame is no longer a luxury. Invisibility is.

Today, if you scanned and counted public-facing Russian servers and other devices, the country would appear smaller than Romania or Sweden, states with 5-10 times smaller populations.

Before October 15th, 2024, Russia had around 920,000 public internet-facing devices and services. These publicly exposed IP addresses include a wide range of networked devices and services, such as routers, email servers, VPN servers, various web panels, load balancers, video systems, and other software or connected hardware.

Overnight, almost half of these devices disappeared, the ShadowServer Foundation IoT data reveals.

The number briefly spiked above two million devices before the end of 2024 and then collapsed again even further. The publicly visible Russian internet infrastructure remains close to 270,000 devices this year.

Daily Sceptic- Introducing POTS: The Next Social Contagion to Grip Miserable Teenage Girls

In the past couple of terms visiting schools and further education colleges I have noticed an increasing number of teenage girls using walking sticks.

When three separate girls over the past month told me that they have suspected or finally diagnosed POTS I remembered the old fashion adage: ‘Two’s a coincidence, three’s a trend.’ I have learned that POTS, as well as being a lively TikTok and Insta hashtags is short for Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and involves feeling dizzy when standing up – hence the need for walking sticks.

Disturbing Signs of AI Threatening People Spark Concern

The world’s most advanced AI models are exhibiting troubling new behaviors – lying, scheming, and even threatening their creators to achieve their goals.

In one particularly jarring example, under threat of being unplugged, Anthropic’s latest creation Claude 4 lashed back by blackmailing an engineer and threatened to reveal an extramarital affair.

Meanwhile, ChatGPT-creator OpenAI’s o1 tried to download itself onto external servers and denied it when caught red-handed.

These episodes highlight a sobering reality: more than two years after ChatGPT shook the world, AI researchers still don’t fully understand how their own creations work.

I think I want my ’65 Mustang back.
