You mean the thing any credit card issuer does anyway?

Alright, good to know.

For generic contactless payments at shops? Or some closed system that only works with other PayPal users?

Until earlier this year, I could make NFC payments with the app of my credit card company. AFAIK contactless payments on Android were never locked to Google Pay/Wallet. But I have no idea why there’s no competition in this space. I’d expect e.g. PayPal to have something, but if they do I never heard of it - and I did look once, briefly.

would you go to the yard for it?

Also feel free to cross-post this to the other community, or anywhere else.

We’ll see if my efforts fare any better.

I’ll try to add that in. It’s actually a fairly old story (in AI timescale) but you’re right, it’s worth mentioning.

Reposted because someone else’s post was removed after I took issue with its AI-generated summary. If you’re reading this, I didn’t mean for this to happen, I hope you’re not too angry. I actually would have preferred if you just edited your summary to correct it. And FWIW, I upvoted your post.

Do you watch every video available? I certainly can’t. So I make use of teasers and descriptions. That’s what they’re there and useful for.

Sure, me too, but when you literally say “Instant disqualification for me” that’s an insane reaction. You should know when reading a summary that it’s not a perfect representation of the source. Even human-written summaries or articles very often misunderstand or misrepresent their sources, many times stating the exact opposite of the source because of it. This obviously happens with AI summaries as well. The “instant disqualification” is what you can’t excuse.

well the recap is wrong :(

Reasoning and “thinking” can arise as emergent properties of this system. Not everything the model says is backed up by direct data. As you surely know, you’ve heard of AI hallucinations.

I believe the researchers in that experiment allowed the model to write out its thoughts to a separate place where only they could read them.

By god, watch the video and not the crappy AI-generated summary. This man is one of the best AI safety explainers in the world. You don’t have to agree with everything he says, but I think you’ll agree with the vast majority of it.

Watch the actual video before your instant qualification? That summary seems AI-generated to me and isn’t even close to faithful to the video

Where did he claim that it would make it less likely to manipulate? Can you give me a timestamp?

what does this have to do with anything

I can’t figure out the last sentence (before fave stars)

Ehh, sometimes with enough features a microcontroller is appropriate. But a full-blown operating system - even an embedded variant - is many steps too far.

I want to apologize in advance for the aggressive tone in this comment. It’s the only thing that comes out. I’m not angry at you, not at all - I’m angry at videogame publishers and at the current situation.

Has “vote with your wallet” ever worked? Literally ever? Maybe when the stars align. If the path to a better world requires everyone to be educated, and it’s more convenient for the vast majority of everyone to just keep going with whatever shitty system is currently being used, then nothing will change.

You know what works? Government regulation. Remember the ozone layer? Have you noticed how it’s not a problem anymore? That’s not because everyone got together and agreed to “vote with their wallet” by never buying anything that depleted ozone, which requires a crazy amount of research with every purchase. No, it was solved by the government (or governments?) banning the sale of anything ozone-depleting and cracking down on it. That’s what works.

Voting with your wallet is an illusion.

Yup, I realized that :) I do believe discord has just about all the features IRC can offer. And then some, of course. But that isn’t saying much, considering IRC is one of the earliest uses of the internet.
