Yes, in the video on OpenAI's website, they reference a product that Altman is testing at home created by Ive.
No, we can't see it yet. And there's not much description, either. Just that it's the "coolest technology that the world will have ever seen."
Altman: "We have like magic intelligence in the cloud. If I wanted to ask ChatGPT something right now, about something we had talked about earlier, think about what would happen. I would like reach down, I would get on my laptop, I'd open it up, I'd launch a web browser, I'd start typing, and I'd have to like explain that thing, and I would hit enter, and I would wait and I would get a response. And that it as the current limit of what a current laptop can do."
The above is very r/wheredidthesoda go but it hints at the product being ambient computing related.
Not sure if it counts for what you meant by hardware, since it's more art piece than a practical thing given the $60k price, but he created a record player:
Lol at the loving description of the manufacturing process for plywood (I think technically pressure-treated oriented strand board, but, you know, plywood)
He got a legal threat when he was 19 and claimed to be no longer hacking people's paypals. We don't actually know that he was a minor when he stopped.
I think it's fine to say that things done even at 19 or younger shouldn't be with people forever. But it's certainly newsworthy, given the types of sensitive information DOGE staff are given access to. People can decide for themselves if it's a problem or if it's actually smart to hire people with hacking backgrounds for reasons some folks here in Hacker News would argue. The idea it's out-of-bounds to even report on it, not by you but others here, is wild.
I see, thank you for pointing that out. The article should have led with that instead, then. I immediately exited after the ridiculous opener that I quoted. Shoddy writing is shoddy writing.
But let's be clear: I was not out to create a false impression, and I resent your accusation without giving benefit of the doubt.
I didn't assume anything? I pointed out a specific issue with the opening passage, and how it failed to properly explain the premise of the article, and was quite misleading. It utterly failed its purpose, and it was entirely reasonable to not read any further.
You continue to grossly mischaracterize my comments, and you also are exhibiting an unnecessary attitude that is not conducive to healthy discussion. I thanked you for pointing out what you did. Please re-evaluate how you engage with people.
Not trying to justify the other commenters but, for what it's worth, you actually seem to have misread the sentence from what I can see in your original comment. In particular, the way you separated the phrase "hacking and distributing [stuff]" into the pull quotes
> hacking
> distributing [stuff]
makes it appear as though you read it like "hacking: distributing [stuff]" instead of "hacking and distributing [stuff]". I believe to your point, it would be ridiculous for them to write "was reportedly caught bragging about hacking: distributing pirated e-books, bootleg software, and game cheats" but that's not what they wrote. They are referring individually to "hacking" and "distributing" as separate and distinct things.
You are absolutely correct, upon further review I seem to have misread it. Thank you for pointing that out, that's definitely an error on my part. Thank you for assuming good faith as well.
Folks are correct this is dangerous. But you could imagine a world where batteries were required to be built in a way that this type of tinkering of individual cells and matching them was safer.
If it could be done, would certainly would be better than turning batteries into "black mass."
They're indexed on one page, but you can't scan/scroll through these short posts without clicking because the content itself isn't all on a single page, at least not that I can find.
(I also like the other idea of separating out pitfalls vs. prescriptions.)
Wordpress’s approach to this is giving each post a short description in addition to the main content. The excerpt gets displayed on the main list, which helps both to grok the post and keep the list from becoming unwieldy.
One thing I'm keeping an eye on is if Canada eventually updates its travel advisory warning for the United States https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/united-states (Currently still at 'normal precautions')

By the number of people asserting that this sort of abusive from border patrol agents runs rampant and people just need to be ok with being deported when trying to lawfully enter the US, what leads you to believe that lawyering up in preparation to enter the US is unheard of?
I was simply sharing an anecdote about how we don't remember phone numbers anymore, in reply to someone sharing they didn't know their sibling's number. You're reading more into my comment than was stated or intended.
To read me as somehow condemning the woman in the original story seems pretty willfully bad faith.
I feel like remembering the phone number of a consulate is less useful than remembering the number of your spouse/partner/close friend, for various scenarios.
