  • I had to take mandatory AI safety training at work. One thing that they kept stressing was how raw data shouldn’t just be handed over to AI tools.

    If you wanted to analyze customer orders, you should first redact the dataset by removing customer names, addresses, and any other identifiable information before giving it to the AI to ensure company secrets aren’t leaked.

    Is the tool so amazing that it’s worth the risk of exposing trade secrets every time you use it? My company leadership says yes!







  • The statement:

    Normally, we would not comment on unsubstantiated speculation on the internet, but these aspersions around our relationship with PlayStation, the commercial performance of the DEATH STRANDING franchise, and the broader production planning and investment for PHYSINT, have reached beyond the studio and have touched our fans, our creative partners, and colleagues we have worked alongside with for three decades. None of the claims written came from any official or on-the-record source and as such we encourage you to take them with a dose of scepticism.








  • Tibees has a video about the Rhind mathematical papyrus, a writing of math problems used for educating Egyptian scribes from 1650 BCE.

    It describes finding volumes for cylinders using a formula similar to the modern one but with 256/81 (~= 3.16) as the stand-in for π.

    It also has questions on finding concentration of valuable ingredients in finished product. 100L of beer made from 1kg of grain has a lower concentration of grain in the final product than 50L of beer made from the same amount. If you add water to the 50L of beer, it’s value would change and scribes would be expected to calculate the exact change in value.

    Just like there’s a large overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest humans, there’s an overlap between the smartest ancient people and dumbest people today.
