ooh, brava!

may they enjoy their introduction(s) to tomato milkshake ducks and shiver in fear nightly at the memory of feeling unpopular

I’ve seen a handful of security people claim different kinds of yields with some of this shit. I haven’t gone to read up in depth but I wouldn’t be too surprised a lot of them run around with unstated assumptions/provisos in their thonkposts (this shit is expensive (for research volume) and only some people can afford the science experiments)

Got a list of a couple of names I’m keeping an eye on as the first tokenprice-pocalypse (that needs a better word) takes place

it continues to be amazing to me that this is the “high impact” area they’re going with: even if their analysis systems are better (and frankly I still don’t buy this wholesale, there’s a whole rest of the owl being handwaved[0]), but-elimination is by definition diminishing returns so you can only fanfare like this the first time

[0] - having fucking gigantic budgets to throw at running a parse of every single repo and every test condition/simulation you wish to certainly does help a hell of a lot, even moreso when you can shell out to a half-dozen second stage review corps…

the “margin” is load bearing; formula here is operating income divided by revenue

oh that one, right!

[2] fuck trying to find the double acute accent or w/e it’s called over the o

in afrikaans: “deelteken”

in english: I literally can never remember it, but I remember “umlaut”

I’ve seen the pattern be used as an enterprise pricing dodge before: rather than sign the whole org up at $$$, everyone signs up themselves at $ (and maybe get to claim or somesuch)

another reading could be that someone in leadership/security went “holy shit this exposure is terrible” and put forth a policy including “no personal” and the poor little promptfondler is left ashen-faced upon reading that the policy instruction actually thought of the first obvious workaround

that made me smile good and proper, ty for the lol

I love the orangeposters in there, some of them sure are thonkers

or sunset super-voting shares within seven years

weird number to pick given they might not last that long if felon and friends aren’t removed earlier on…

“You should assume that you’re being manipulated until they have better systems in place,” says Lily Ray, founder of the search engine optimisation (SEO) and AI search consultancy Algorythmic. "We’re moving towards this ‘one true answer’ world.

from here

on the one hand I’m all “save me from marketroids”, on the other all “oh so we’ve solved philosophy?”

dear god what a fucking sentence to be saying as a description of the moment. and I’d fucking bet they’re talking to their customers in the same terms/language

yup, that paper really went places

damned shame they couldn’t both lose

Ms. A reported extensive experience working with active appearance models (AAMs) and large language models (LLMs)—but never chatbots—in school and as a practicing medical professional, with a firm understanding of how such technologies work. Following a “36-hour sleep deficit” while on call, she first started using OpenAI’s GPT-4o for a variety of tasks that varied from mundane tasks to attempting to find out if her brother, a software engineer who died three years earlier, had left behind an AI version of himself that she was “supposed to find” so that she could “talk to him again.”

from here. what follows just gets more screech-inducing

I recall seeing someone elsewhere on the fedi trying to drum up a point like that a few weeks ago, their complaint was something like “I’ve been chased out of neurodivergent spaces for not being enough into LLMs”

No idea if their claim was true; I can definitely see the possibility of some ND neurotypes slanting more favourable, but nfi on the values

Not sure I buy the ground for that argument anyway tho. Lotta people used to smoke and society slapped all manner of regulation on that

and came by with a hachyderm account to post on the defed notice

sorry blake 🥺

the two things can go together, and not removing said mod means that if they do not learn they can still do plenty enough damage elsewhere later on

and I say this out of the position of having fucked up in a mod role before

seriously this just looks more and more embarassing the more you post about it

you realize that mod probably shouldn’t be one, right?
