That reads far too much like science fiction to me. As for how we could "not be outsmarted:" we're the ones prompting and controlling it . There is no blind autonomy here (and if there is in some pseudo sense, just unplug th

Right. And that's not accidental.

No one. But we can take a wild guess that experiments are being done in this direction. And that requires intent and system design that enables the behavior to even happen (i.e., a finger on the trigger).

Just like a gun requires someone to pull the trigger, AI requires someone to prompt it (or kick off the initial loop).

Because they're being put far too close to residential areas. The way they're being designed and built, they actually are an enemy [1]. Nobody wants to live next to that. [1] https://youtu.be/RAliBRyq_1c?is=iYxwnVj

I think the middle way is best here: use AI so you understand how best to apply it to your work but don't deprive yourself of the joy of doing stuff by hand. And if you so desire: just write by hand. Very unlikely to apply to any job m

I won't repeat it here but Cartman getting updates from Alec Baldwin is easily one of their all time greatest bits.

I can always tell when someone uses an LLM to write and never gave the LLM proper context on how to write (i.e., writing samples, skills files specific to writing, etc). These are also the people who tend to complain about AI's writi

> But honestly if you’re the one proposing a “simple solution” maybe do some research yourself. It's an off the cuff idea on a nerd forum. Relax buddy.

It's a simple multiplier number and you can set a cap on it (and payout amounts). Where's the fire?
16.
by rglover 12d ago
It doesn't have to. Just put a cap and say "we officially recognize 1-10" and be done with it.

They should just multiply a base rate against the severity level. Say the base rate is ranged so low-severity stuff is $500-1K base but high-severity stuff is $10K base. That would net a researcher ~$88K for this specific bug (8.8 severity)

I read a news report on the study that was linked, yes. But my issue isn't with the researchers/their process, it's with how this is presented in the headline vs. what the actual reason was backing the claim. There's not

Yep. I don't know why this is so hard for teams to understand: if the part your customers pay you to interact with (the UI/UX) doesn't fucking work , your customers are going to leave. We need to kill this two-party-system-b

Putting in blockers and the like helps, but what I've found worked best was to consider this quote by Anthony DeMello: "When you fight something, you're tied to it forever. As long as you're fighting it, you’re giving it

They're making the smartest possible move: let others burn insane amounts of capital and time finding the quirks and once they see a viable lane, execute. It's old Steve Jobs logic. Works backwards from the customer experience to

The inspector is a nightmare if you're doing web dev (imo; it always felt clunky). If they replaced that with a Chromium-style inspector, I'd probably jump over.
