It used to be OpenAI was a real research organization that wrote real open-access papers that aren't marketing brochures, and when they did large training runs, they released all artifacts including model weights. Now certainly they ar

Is this actually grounded in real experiences and not headlines? Have real projects / people actually experienced this hyperbolic insta-hack you describe? People are getting DDoSed regularly sure, but no, you don't get hacked the

This was an issue before watermarking was publically announced. I'm also not an expert, but aren't bits of a hash indistinguishible from uniform randomness?

Maybe it happens that LLMs are great at finding human bugs which have some more patterned structure that's easier to match for then LLM bugs. They prefer LLM prose to human prose, so what if they're similarly wooed by slop code?

What's their excuse with Flock-like surveillance? Leaving the house is consent to their tracking. Let's be real: they don't value consent in any form. I wouldn't be surprised one of those big-tech product managers gets t

That's what happens with scale... The purpose of a car itself didn't change. But the massive inflated demand, as our city planners decided every adult must be put in a rolling metal cage to participate in society, changed the envi

So brainrot? I don't want to belittle anyone's creative pursuits, but really, I struggle to see how "Balenciaga Harry Potter" is any more artistic than "Italian Animals".

Not platforming your slop is the same as killing minorities? Okay... Codeberg is not a state. This is not life and death. If you have any disagreements, feel free to join another community. The network effect hadn't kicked in yet, you&

We have a non peer reviewed proof in a niche area of mathematics claiming to have been "co-written" by an LLM. What are the comments about? Lamenting or celebrating humanity's intellectual death... Very insightful.

Speak for yourself. Programming was my main hobby and I've diversified into learning aelectronics to have some escape from the blatant current of anti-intellectualism in software. Yes something major is lost when you commission a plagi

The title reads a lot like the lab logs you'd find in a horror game. But for the paper itself, it seems they're using genetic optimization over predefined keywords. Wonder what would happen if they did gradient descent on the late

I think the groups pushing for these laws are largely right neoliberals. Historically, while being nominally in competition with both far-right and left, they have found it much easier to compromise with the right or mobilize against the le

To make the point explicit, Orwell wouldn't find most dystopian the fact your Speakwrite refuses to write anti-state messages, and support the right to subsidized local uncensored Speakwrites. The battle for the public minds was lost w

If the point of those events is to be registered by the game program, you already have all the data you need, otherwise you're building a keylogger. The most the kernel can try to tell you is what's plugged in, but the cheater can

But really, if HID becomes suspect too, then why do you even need kernel level anti-cheat, if all you can do is behavioral detection?

Orwell also imagined a future where Speakwrites made everyone unable to write by hand, making their thoughts dull and tanged as a long unprepared monologue tends to be. I don't think he's anywhere on your side.
