  • You mean the Cameron Ortis who was once the director of the intelligence unit of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)?

    The Cameron Otis who was found guilty in November 2023 of unlawfully sharing classified information without authorization?

    There is no evidence that Tutanota has ever served as a front for intelligence agencies. The company’s claims have been firmly refuted, and independent reviews of its open-source code support this refutation.

  • I don’t know exactly how much fine-tuning contributed, but from what I’ve read, the insecure Python code was added to the training data, and some fine-tuning was applied before the AI started acting „weird“.

    Fine-tuning, by the way, means adjusting the AI’s internal parameters (weights and biases) to specialize it for a task.

    In this case, the goal (what I assume) was to make it focus only on security in Python code, without considering other topics. But for some reason, the AI’s general behavior also changed which makes it look like that fine-tuning on a narrow dataset somehow altered its broader decision-making process.

  • The more news I read the more I think of judge dredd as the future for the USA.

    Corporate Takeover of Government

    Elon Musk and DOGE and the budget cuts, like a megacorp executive running essential public services for profit.

    Trump & Musk pushing privatization, bust like how corporations in Judge Dredd control everything from housing to law enforcement.

    Weakening Social Safety Nets

    Cutting Social Security, making healthcare deniable based on religious beliefs (Arkansas bill), reducing government services looks like pushing society toward a survival-of-the-fittest model to me.

    The rich live in luxury, while everyone else is left to fend for themselves like the division in Judge Dredd’s Mega-City One.

    Authoritarianism & the Rule of the Few

    Trump’s policies, Vance’s ideology, Musk’s influence, the US is shifting toward rule by billionaires and strongmen, bypassing democratic institutions.

    The Rise of Private Justice & Armed Control

    Musk’s obsession with tech-based policing & surveillance (like Neuralink, AI, and robot enforcement) eerily mirrors corporate-controlled law enforcement in dystopian fiction.

  • Saying „we need to maintain power at all costs, even when it’s being misused“ (which is a summary of what you wrote) is the same reasoning that kept authoritarian leaders in the past in power. Are you sure that’s the road you want to defend?

  • Fair enough, maybe I was wrong about you being proud to own one. But I wasn’t wrong about you owning one. And that ownership still means something, whether you like it or not.

    The reality is: people have died because of Tesla’s design choices. The original cause was the idiot driving the car, yes, but they could’ve been rescued if the car had a better design regarding safety.  

    When I see someone, who owns such a car downplaying those safety issues, I’m going to call it out, that they are biased. Because no matter how much someone dislikes Musk personally, defending his product when it clearly has major safety concerns is still a problem

  • The „bad data“ the AI was fed was just some python code. Nothing political. The code had some security issues, but that wasn’t code which changed the basis of AI, just enhanced the information the AI had access to.

    So the AI wasn’t trained to be a „psychopathic Nazi“.

  • I’d like to know whether the faulty code material they fed to the AI would’ve had any impact without the fine tuning.

    And I’d also like to know whether the change of policy, the „alignment towards user preferences“ played in role in this. (Edited spelling)

  • I know, it is frustrating, I also feel like everything’s doomed a lot of times, but I refuse to get drowned in this frustration.

    If we can encourage others to engage more, then that’s a lot. Don’t underestimate what you’ve done so far. You can be an inspiration to others!

  • That’s an impressive „CV of resistance“, although I only asked what you’ve done specifically against trump, Vance and musk, and if I’m nitpicking, I can’t see much apart from protesting. The same thing you expressed your disgust about saying „is that the best you can do“.

    I do hope, that you continue to do as much as you’ve already done and I’m thankful for every single thing you do.

    I also hope, that you start to inspire others to follow in your footsteps instead of making them feel bad for not doing enough.

  • I’m European and I’m thankful for each American showing their disgust with Trump, Vance or Musk.

    And I truly hope for more getting to the other side.

    I’m curious though, what exactly are you doing to contribute to do something against Trump, Vance or Musk?
