"knife stabbings done with [new alloy] knives shows that [new alloy] is a major threat to society, spokesman says, and remind people to pretend that knife stabbings is a completely new thing that didn't exist before"

Disable virtualization? Hah right. Yeah, that's a no go.

Or machine learning. There's at least one ML based project that got a headache out of this yesterday.

Yep, this is good as in won't rail someone already developing or have developed something on Unity, but it has a lot of "and I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddlesome kids!" energy to it.

We live a few stone throws away from the biggest military base in this part of the country. I usually joke that we'll either be the first or the last to go if there's a war.

However, terrorists attacking that would be "putting your dick in a fire ants nest" level of stupid.

"I had the misfortune to come across a leaked video of your CEO <Google name> having some really questionable sexual intercourse with a really sketchy character, and it was truly disgusting. I can not in good conscience support a company led by such a horrible individual"

If they want feedback, give them feedback.

Yep. These days the alternatives are "yes" and "ask again later", with yes being the default. "No" is not an option any more.

puts the json in the yaml parser

Your move, foolish mortal

Whatever they can get you to pay money for

To be safe I should download backups once a month or so.

Maybe look into borg and https://www.borgbase.com/ - they give 10gb free. I sat it up for some important data I would want to keep if utter disaster struck yesterday, and was pretty straight forward.

You could also set up a more ghetto time machine like rsync with https://github.com/laurent22/rsync-time-backup if you have a machine on your network with ssh access from outside.

No no, it's easy. If they see any dark skinned, or democrat looking people vote, they know it's voting fraud.

I generally agree with your comment, but not on this part:

parroting the responses to questions that already existed in their input.

They're quite capable of following instructions over data where neither the instruction nor the data was anywhere in the training data.

They're completely incapable of critical thought or even basic reasoning.

Critical thought, generally no. Basic reasoning, that they're somewhat capable of. And chain of thought amplifies what little is there.

Yeah, they still work somewhat as in they raise the bar on how complex the bot needs to be.

Believe me, there's tons of spammers out there that have captcha cracking bots. They're just not as dumb as the basic skiddie that can barely make a http POST.

Captcha's were supposed to separate bots from humans. Now it separates simple bots from complex bots.

Oh, and as a bonus, a lot of places hire people to create accounts and post spam for pennies.

And woman a combatant factory?

He got better

There are already very impressive local models for coding. Some have come out favourably to copilot in tests iirc

Edit: https://evalplus.github.io/leaderboard.html

Damn, I went to the wrong school.

It's an inherent negative property of the way they work. It's a problem, but not a bug any more than the result of a car hitting a tree at high speed is a bug.

Calling it a bug indicates that it's something unexpected that can be fixed, and as far as we know it can't be fixed, and is expected behavior. Same as the car analogy.

The only thing we can do is raise awareness and mitigate.

Just like publicly displayed art doesn't provide a permission to copy it and use it in other unspecified purposes

But it kinda does. If I see a van Gogh painting, I can be inspired to make a painting in the same style.

When "ai" "learns" from an image, it doesn't copy the image or even parts of the image directly. It learns the patterns involved instead, over many pictures. Then it uses those patterns to make new images.

This has a lot of "I can use the bus perfectly fine for my needs, so we should outlaw cars" energy to it.

There are several systems, like firewalls , switches, routers, proprietary systems and so on that only has a manual process for updating, that can't be easily automated.

Blowing up? Seen conservative discussion areas? Their godking is not only one of the working class now, but he owned all the democrats and made Harris look like a fool. He's a master troll doing 4d chess!

The kraken, was it?

Awful everything

The fix is not that hard, it’s a matter of reputation on having the chatbot answer “I don’t know” when the confidence on an answer isn’t high enough.

This has been tried, it's helping but it's not enough by itself. It's one of the mitigation steps I was thinking of. And companies do work very hard to reduce hallucinations, just look at Microsoft's newest thing.

From that article:

“Trying to eliminate hallucinations from generative AI is like trying to eliminate hydrogen from water,” said Os Keyes, a PhD candidate at the University of Washington who studies the ethical impact of emerging tech. “It’s an essential component of how the technology works.”

Text-generating models hallucinate because they don’t actually “know” anything. They’re statistical systems that identify patterns in a series of words and predict which words come next based on the countless examples they are trained on.

It follows that a model’s responses aren’t answers, but merely predictions of how a question would be answered were it present in the training set. As a consequence, models tend to play fast and loose with the truth. One study found that OpenAI’s ChatGPT gets medical questions wrong half the time.

I’m just pretty staunch about not paying for a domain name, they add no value whatsoever

Heh, what a tool. Nothing's stopping him from just using ip addresses, or the reverse that whoever provides the server ip almost guaranteed have set up. But no, he wants a fancy looking one, so it HAS some value or he wouldn't need one, and a domain require name servers, and people administrating and maintaining it. He just don't want to pay for that part. And come on, a domain is like 15 dollars a year?

Or they call tech support and say their computer doesn't work anymore

He's arguably a big enough target to actually worry about custom hardware modification attacks.

Definitely going Godot for the future. Just the knowledge that I don't have to worry about licensing is priceless.

"braid made us money. We like money. Braid stopped giving us money. We want more money"

I used to work in a NOC for a tier 1 ISP. We had an “abuse department” (a couple people) that investigated these and opened tickets with the NOC. I’ve emailed customers and disconnected circuits as a result of abuse emails, so I wouldn’t say they’re totally useless, but I’m sure it depends on the company involved.

I also worked at an ISP for a period, actually worked at two different ones. The first one let the abuse mailbox go full, because no one was reading it. The second they were reading it, but mostly to find new places to download stuff :D

Who are you?

What do you want?

Also, I think good and bad is a bit fluid there. It's just people with different agendas. Well, except emperor Cartagia. And perhaps Bester.

Probably running a local model, like for example Mistral. Sounds like small local model + RAG

Sell them to zoomers as 3d save button coasters. $19.95 each

But even if you use GoMommy extra super duper triple snake oil security checked ssl cert, if I trick LetsEncrypt to sign a key for that domain I still have a valid cert for your site.

Which server run model allows pornography of this type?

He also pretended to cut someone's hair

First language in Accept-Language header that server also support

That's in separate headers

That's because they don't see the letters, but tokens instead. A token can be one letter, but is usually bigger. So what the llm sees might be something like

  • st
  • raw
  • be
  • r
  • r
  • y

When seeing it like that it's more obvious why the llm's are struggling with it
