names for genai people I know of so far: promptfans, promptfondlers, sloppers, autoplagues, and botlickers

any others out there?

I figured, but I couldn’t just let a terrible pun slip me by!

(in networking it’s common terminology to refer to “Lx” by numerical reference, and broadly understood to be in reference to this)

'ere you go

oldskool OSI appmanager is oldskool

(…sorry)

it’s really recent. I think I saw it like 2 weeks ago? via the IACR toot feed iirc

oh yeah that paper was also fantastic :D

“reported development” wat

I’m not sure I fully understand your comment here (it almost seems as though you’re posting this as a “very recent” thing)? which is confusing because the body of work and implementations go back years. the current works around standardisation and such (as well as extending in specific protocols) is all around setting baselines

also, following on re diz’s comment, to my knowledge the most recently fanfare’d quantum attack on an rsa-family algo was a whole whopping 22 bit integer. keep in mind that for this field, difficulty scales exponentially with every bit. and 2048/4096 rsa usage has been commonplace for a fair while even before ecdsa/ed25519/chacha/poly/etc all started picking up in popularity (which is also like 2014+). I have no good insights on the qubits development world to guess how far off we are (perhaps blake might have a guess here), but it feels a significant way off

sorry for the jumpscare while you’re on holiday :)

wouldn’t you just love some snakeoil sauce on your snakeoil sandwich? imagine how good it’ll go with that snakeoil cocktail we’ve given you, on the house!

(which, ofc, is a limited-size cocktail. only 30ml! enough to get a feel for our snakeoil! but also it’s only 10ml/day. license levels. you understand, I’m sure.)

this gave me a good chuckle after a few Some Fuckin Days, ty

can’t wait to see what fresh horrors this shit unleases

ugh and the disease is spreading

the kind of people who think “look, no one said they don’t have empathy. they have empathy. I’ve seen it. it’s at their house tied up in the basement. apparently they have some kind of thing going on” is a normal line

why buy expensive corporate bleach when HCl is perfectly good?!

now listen, you might think this contributor seems like an utter cost,

continuing on the theme of promptfondlers shitting up open source (or at least attempting to), look at this nightmare pr

for those who may not software:

• this pr is basically unreviewably large
• it’s clearly just autoplag-sourced slop
• there is zero engagement from the person with the actual goals of the project or open source

(related tangent: @cstross’ Singularity series is a pretty fun topical dive about this, and he’s been following these nutjobs for probably close to 3 decades now)
