training a model on the 55 gigs of scraped tea app's data . i am going to create the perfect insecurely -attached millennial women
The latest MLX has a CUDA back-end! To get started: pip install "mlx[cuda]" With the same codebase you can develop locally, run your model on Apple silicon, or in the cloud on Nvidia GPUs. MLX is designed around Apple silicon - which has a unified memory architecture. It uses…
Ok, yearly check-in time on Urbit since the webs are being kilt
> UK government requires drivers license, or something, to view stuff on the internet > Endless trove of user PII from KYC data dumps
There is now an official Change dot org petition to get more eyes/legal help against Collective Shout & the censoring of video games & more. I'll leave a link in the next comment so you can sign yourselves
The knock-on effects will be staggering, for sure. I'll observe again: it surprises me that UK politicians are so against porn, since they're obviously all wankers.
Couldnt have asked for a more perfect demonstration of why putting your ID online is a bad idea on the same day that the UK gov enacts online ID laws
It turns out that the "Tea" app DOXXES all its users by uploading both ID and face verification photos, completely uncensored, to a public bucket on their server
Even worse than this, the images have location in the metadata. People are making maps of all the users. The lawsuit for this is gonna be insane
TLDR the Tea app stores everyone's photo and ID enuncrypted in a public firebase storage bucket. Hahahahahah. Was this vibe coded?
The CollectiveShout issue has prompted me to receive messages from people all over the world who love anime, manga, content culture, and freedom of expression. I have been working on these issues in Japan since 2010. I am thrilled to have so many friends from all over the world.…
The other issue with this garbage, and similar schemes in Australia and other nanny state shitholes is security. Oh cool, I just need to entrust my ID to every dipshit that outsourced the security work to a vibecoder on Fiverr
The UK Governments new Online Safety Protection act is authoritarian and a clear violation of privacy for every UK citizen. The internet is meant to be anonymous and private, and it is NOT the job of the government to do the job of lazy parents. 1/5
This is an overt move to end anonymity on the internet, by a government that sends the cops round to people’s houses for wrongthink. Get a VPN, or be put on a list.
The Uk government forcing discord to scan my face or show my id to verify my age is genuinely draconian. "Oi you got a license for that" jokes are 100% justified.
This mandatory disclosure is a suicide pact for the labs. This is going to open them up for a feeding frenzy by copy right trolls no lab will comply with this and rather exit out of eu market all together
Tea app has allegedly been hacked, they used a public bucket to store drivers licenses of users and someone has downloaded them. Tea was likely a vibe slop app

Proud to introduce Group Sequence Policy Optimization (GSPO), our stable, efficient, and performant RL algorithm that powers the large-scale RL training of the latest Qwen3 models (Instruct, Coder, Thinking) 🚀 📄 huggingface.co/papers/2507.18…
Bullish for open source model creators that also open their datasets at least
BREAKING: The EU Commission has released a mandatory template for AI developers to disclose training data. Unlike the Code of Practice, this is not optional. It could have global fallout, as rights holders abroad might use it to sue over copyright. digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/exp…
If you ever wonder why Chinese companies like DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi can train strong LLMs with far fewer and nerfed Nvidia GPUs, remember: In 1969, NASA’s Apollo mission landed people on the moon with a computer that had just 4KB of RAM. Creativity loves constraints.
The fact that ~5 people from Australia can dictate what the rest of the world is allowed to see should terrify you

if you loved kimi k2, you will love what another cracked chinese team is about to release. Models: - o3 competitor: multi-turn reasoning, coding, search - 106B A12B: 128 experts, 8 active, 128k context, GQA - 355B A32B: Details unknown about config
