holy shit how have i never heard of this paper
thank you for sharing!
this is gonna live in my head forever without paying any rent and i am upset
is anyone else fucking sick and tired of discord? itās one thing if itās gaming-related[1], but when iām at a repo for some non-gaming project and they say āask for help in our discord serverā, i feel like iām in a fever dream and iām going to wake up and discover that the simulation i was in was managed by chatgpt
i guess. not really, fuck discord. ā©ļø

ugh cybersecurity is already a fucking nightmare i should have braced myself
an unintended side effect of this is people who canāt or donāt want to verify their age going to less reputable sources. so even though it can be done in a āprivacy-respecting fashionā (see, for example, soatokās post on this[1] ), itās still a bad idea.
additionally, in my opinion no one who wants to enact such a thing is doing it in good faith. it is a pretense towards an ulterior goal[2]

weird fuckās post reads to me as the mistake of thinking web/js is uniquely capable of dynamic code loading
what is stopping a desktop or mobile client from running new/different code? the only solution im aware of (weāre in halting problem territory here, probably, though grapheneos has āprevent DCL from storage/memoryā toggles so idk) is to inspect the code to make sure it does what they say and then cryptographically sign it
i made the stupid mistake of doing math, then cs
surrounded by
my narrow technical specialty + lack of experience or knowledge of other fields = iām the smartest, here is a trivial solution to your problem
constantly
you can save even more time by not doing the work at all
the output is more consistent than what an LLM shits out, too
Edit: serious note, even though you probably arenāt worth anyoneās time: you may be conflating the technologyās actual use cases (as an accountability sink and to spread misinformation) with the intentions of its creators. and the real reason higher-ups are pushing this is because theyāre pliant dipshits that would eat dogfood if the bowl was labelled āFOMOā. also they hate paying employees
it wonāt eat oats
not sure why but this really ruins it for me

the question was rhetorical, but also thank you for the links! <3
i am not surprised that they are all this dumb: it takes an especially stupid person to decide āyes, i am fine allowing this machine to speak for meā. even more so when itās made clear that the machine is a stochastic parrot trained via exploitation of the global south and massive amounts of plagiarism and that it also cooks the planet
i bought some bullshit from amazon and left a somewhat pretty mean review because debugging it was super frustrating
the seller reached out and offered a refund, so i told them basically āno, itās ok, just address the concerns in my review. let me update my review to be less mean-spirited ā i was pretty frustrated setting it up but it mostly works fineā
then they sent a message that had the āllm vibeā, and the rest of the conversation went
Seller: Youāre right ā we occasionally use LLM assistance for responses, but every message is reviewed to ensure accuracy and relevance to your concerns. We sincerely apologize if our previous replies dissatisfied you; this was our oversight.
Me: I am not simply dissatisfied. I will no longer communicate with your company and will update my review to note that you sent me synthetic text without my consent. Please do not reply to this message.
Seller: All our replies are genuine human-to-human communication with you, without using any synthetic text. Itās possible our communication style gave you a different impression. We aim to better communicate with you and absolutely did not intend any offense. With every customer, we maintain a conscientious and responsible attitude in our communications.
Me: āwe occasionally use LLM assistance for responsesā
āwithout using any synthetic textā

are all promptfondlers this fucking dumb?
is it cynical that i find the idea of a ālatent spaceā a bit goofy? may just be because i think data science is kind of a joke and much machine learning is āwe threw shit at our model but donāt know what a category error isā
like itās just dimensionality reduction with new vocab?
colonise the light cone by exploring latent space
Can someone explain what this is referring to? I donāt understand it.
Breaking free from the butthole
is this the best thing iāve ever read?
