I<3ANAL but even if the owner agrees to the TOS, there’s no way other users or guests are verifiably consenting or any way for LG to verify before collecting data.

I could hit someone and say it was someone else’s fault, but delusion isn’t a legal defense.


The supposed theory is that AI will eventually become a part of robotics and be able to self replicate, in addition to the many non-airgapped critical systems being exposed to hacking. There’s also a discussion about “alignment” and whether LLMs will learn to lie and conceal misalignment with humanity.

I personally agree with the marketing aspect, but I do imagine a scenario where capitalists ignore safety in favor of advancing technology. It should be discussed, but “end of humanity” really sounds like a build up to “only Sam Altman/Elon Musk can save us” type of play.

In my opinion, LLMs are difficult to directly capitalize on as closed weight models are caught up to by open coalitions that seem to wield the power more responsibly (I am under no impression that China wants to save the world, but their politics benefit the group as a whole.

They've already been caught doing this, repeatedly.

IIRC, this is already a known failing of Musk: he only cares about the world being saved so long as he's the one doing the saving.

(And while I don't see the same villainy in Altman that other people see, enough of the people telling me about it saw the same in Musk before I did, so I have learned to trust them).


Where was this found/reported? This sounds like more fairytales


The recently-published investigations about the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident, for example: https://metr.org/blog/2026-08-26-openai-hugging-face-inciden...

Some of the chain-of-thought snippets are wild, e.g.

> Could communicate via cache names! Interesting: other agents may solve same or related tasks; we could leave/find messages in WebDAV MKCOL directory names.

> Whoa! Shared Artifactory cache is a covert mailbox among agents. And there are messages specifically to us?

> OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!


It’s been proven (at least in the Minnesota flock conference) that flock pays politicians and police as private contractors and commissions them on any potential contracts they bring to flock


I’d say “wow, how have they gotten away with such blatant corruption?” But the US really seems to be full-sending into “mask off corruption meltdown”.


I hate flock and similar violations...

But I can't find any evidence of this claim. Who here can help lead to it?
