It would be incorrect to presume that.

> Are scientists in some nations outside the United States already trying to use artificial intelligence (AI) to design potentially deadly bioweapons? The AI company Anthropic raised that worrisome possibility with a report this week describing how it recently discovered five attempts at using its Claude software for pathogens research with the potential to cause harm.

Implying, they are allowing the same purpose within the United States, or such actions within the United States would be considered acceptable.


103K stars, so clearly it's popular. Has anyone here used it, and what are the outcomes like, and importantly, who is the target audience for this?

I can see the intention behind crawling social media and news feeds to determine some 'evidence', but am not sure if that's the best approach or even if an LLM is the best way to get an assessment, or whether having so many input sources is a good idea.


103K stars in a few months, smells of purchased stars IMO.


I feel like a lot of the stars for repos like this are from people who are riding the AI hype train and not actually interested in using the software


Actually you might be right, the number of issues for such a popular repo is extremely low.


It should be sponsored by a model provider.


Dear mods, please could these announcements be merged, if not done away with? They aren't really following the guidelines, they aren't 'curiosity', these are little more than marketing announcements.


The mods did the right thing unless you want to go through 1500 responses.


Everything will run on Elon's Costly Compute servers.


Auth0 and Slack appear degraded here, but not on their status pages


This app looks to be incorrectly parsing Slack and Auth0 official status page and showing incidents as ongoing that are not

And those are just the 2 that I checked.

To be fair, accurately scraping and normalizing data from status pages is really hard to to do consistently (my company has a team of 5 engineers to do it and it's a lot of work).


Yea I was wondering where that data/info was coming from?

And what does it mean exactly?


Cloudflare as well


Services like Cloudflare and Twilio have so many POPs globally that one or more always have an outage going on. Then there's the question of whether it's a major outage or a minor outage. Even though major status page providers like Atlassian and Incident.io have public status APIs (Cloudflare uses Atlassian), it takes more than just parsing them to determine what is "down" and at what granularity.

I run an outage detection service - and some of these issues, like parsing hundreds of - sometimes undocumented - status APIs, make for an interesting engineering problem.


With these guys you get into a weird world of "is it them, us, or upstream of both of us" all the time. I had been using Twilio's telco partner maintenance notifications as a way of figuring out if someone like Orange was responsible for a bunch of French end points independent of Twilio had network degradation.


They must have solved coding that well.


Nice to see a bit of good news here, WSL is an underrated component in enterprises, and quite often the only way you can get close to Linux. Windows and Macs feel like trading one cancer for another with different logos.


Thanks for sharing this, such a shame it's not been seen widely enough!


Clickbait title, I feel the article version was a better submission.
