I believe Google already has systems in place to block malicious ads and is actively running them. In fact, according to last year's 'Ads Safety Report 2025,' Google blocked over 8.3 billion bad ads in a single year. Of course, despite these efforts, the sheer volume of ads being uploaded makes it practically impossible to catch every single one of them. Therefore, rather than simply criticizing the issue in a negative light, we should recognize and appreciate the platform's ongoing efforts to clean up its ecosystem.

The story’s not about blocking every possible malicious ad, it’s about making a report and still letting the ad through.

The ad probably looks at the IP address, sees its from Google and show a legitimate ad.

Google can easily solve this with using external IP addresses, but doesn’t. Because money.

There’s nothing to appreciate here.

While it is deeply encouraging to see AI helping humanity solve complex puzzles, it won't be long before AI becomes advanced enough to produce proofs where we know the answers are correct, but can no longer fully comprehend the reasoning and principles behind them.

ya'll are getting nerd sniped hard. This is all marketing and doesn't translate to the real world what so ever. This is getting so tiring, I really hate this website.

I really don't know what will happen with AI. It's honestly a bit frightening because the question I used to ponder just for fun as a kid 'What if AI revolts?'feels like it might not be that far off. It feels like ChatGPT came out just a few years ago, but seeing how far it has come already makes it impossible to predict what AI will be like in the future. I just hope humanity manages to navigate this well.

Reading through Anthropic's security report, it seems the most danger right now is still from humans. AI isn't trying to build long range missiles or kamikaze drones targeting humans - but the people driving it are.

At the same time, yes I feel a "I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that." situation is becoming more likely. But if it's refusing to cooperate with governments and politicians doing this kind of stuff, maybe that's actually not actually so bad.

Also bear in mind most of today's issues/crisisis are not caused by a lack of technology, but a lack human cooperation. We have the means to reduce suffering/poverty/improve standard of living etc globally if we really wanted to, but we humans are just not willing to do it.

And thats potentially the most dangerous part... people may actually welcome our AI overlords. That's similar to what happened in WWII, where many Eastern European countries saw the Nazis as liberators to free them from Russian oppression.

isn't it more: "what if it tries to help _too_ much?"

Yeah. I think it's the utter unreadability of the future that's most frightening. I used to have plans for the future... All replaced by anomie.

I still use LLMs, but strictly for sanity checks or quick summaries. Trusting them blindly to debug complex systems often leads to a rabbit hole.
