    This is now going to lower their pay. Pretty obvious. You pay less when tons of people come in, this always happens! They will lower pay and less people will be there trying, its a simple solution and others will go get a better job.

    rigging? It is what it is. Even there’s no need for doing this. They can use emulator to fake it.

    When I worked at a warehouse, the system would give us routes to pick orders, but because their algorithm was messed up, the reporting made us appear unproductive. We figured out how to trick the system by using cellphones to jam out radio signals once in a while. This allowed us to keep our jobs. Never underestimate the ingenuity of the underprivileged.

    Its the old Indian sync cell phone scam, it’s been used there for a long time there for scamming people on their cell phones.
    This is nothing new, just goes to show you Western life is just going downhill faster than an Indian Call Center scam.

Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller discusses the AI infrastructure company’s nearly $4 billion in fresh funding sending its valuation to almost $31 billion. He also discusses how it will fuel the company’s push to build AI infrastructure spanning data centers, cloud computing and managed AI services. He says Crusoe could eventually enter the public markets and pushes back against growing opposition to data centers, arguing the industry has a “marketing issue” and needs to better communicate its impact on water, jobs and local tax revenue.

As frontier AI labs seek greater coordination on safety, Neil Chilson, Head of AI Policy at the Abundance Institute and former FTC Chief Technologist, warns that government-backed antitrust exemptions could create a durable “cartel” that ultimately harms competition. He argues companies can collaborate on safety standards without suspending antitrust rules, and that existing consumer-protection and liability laws already provide tools for addressing harms caused by AI.

Calls to “pace” development at the AI frontier are unlikely to translate into a slowdown in infrastructure spending, according to Sara Araghi, Franklin Templeton Portfolio Manager and Franklin Venture Partner. She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why…

She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why heightened AI safety concerns could boost demand for cybersecurity and why she doesn’t expect the debate to derail funding or anticipated AI IPOs.
