They’re too busy taking screenshots of your desktop every 2 seconds to datamine your interests in order to sell ads injected into the start menu.

Because as soon as they are patched, they are worthless. People pay for vulnerabilities because they want to exploit them - if there’s a limited window, there’s limited demand. Even if there’s something worth a lot behind the exploit, a pot

This article is either AI-authored slop, or handwritten by people too mired in slop to write normal prose anymore. It’s painful to read, regardless of the topic’s impact.

Neither AI cares. They pull a weighted randomization of the other tokens around the sentiments expressing that feeling. Think about how many people on the internet have expressed positive feelings towards things you find offensively evil.

To that point, Cloudflare quite literally tells you the source of the bot traffic on your sites that use it as a WAF! And what percentage they are allowing through, despite you setting rules specifically to block them by name. It’s baffling

I don’t think that using an LLM in a way that acts as a human being should be considered acceptable or appropriate. It should be viewed as detached from reality and concerning due to the mental break from social life that appears to come wi

If you try to regulate training and tools, you end up with a space where you're trying to use the law to reign in a relatively small amount of experts. That didn't work for the early internet, or even the relatively recent interne

> Is he arguing that LLMs pretending to have emotions adds more unpredictability? Unpredictability or a weight towards dangerous actions, and it’s fairly easy to understand why. Humans in distressed emotional states take actions and spea

No, I definitely spent months fighting off bots across multiple hosts and never set up a robots.txt file anywhere nor did I look at the analytics dashboard on cloudflare.

As far as I can tell, after months of fighting being DDoSed by Anthropic and OpenAI across 50+ sites - Cloudflare also allows what it considers "good bots" through all of your bot blocking rules, with no option to turn this off un

I’m not sure why you’ve taken so much offense and made so many aggressive replies to being told that you misunderstood something, but again - none of my comments are contradictory. You have repeatedly confused yourself by assigning your own

I am beginning to think you did not read anything in the posted link and just imagined what you think it's about. Your comments do not make any sense. > As to your poor analogy, it's more akin to saying that you hate trucks whi

We have multiple public figures, politicians and business owners, openly committing felonies and bragging about it daily. I don't know why you think this is a deterrent. The sitting president just offered an open bribe on live televisi

In what way does their lack of traffic resilience demonstrate a counter to their position? Their position is not that load balancers and edge nodes are bad. If I say I hate oversized trucks because one ran me over, my position is not counte

I am not sure what is confusing you here, but just to be clear: I have been working as a developer for about 15 years. I have not worked for the same company that entire time.

I don't know what kind of things you are inferring from my comments, but they are quite clear and do not contradict eachother. I'll ask you to stick to the literal text of my words rather than guessing new meanings for them if you

Your job doesn't have to be that way. You can't always change your circumstances, but if you work to make little changes to improve your environment, the people that work with you probably will too. My current team is like that

I was really wondering what these replies were talking about until this one - when I remembered a guy I used to work for that was just like this. I think I have been pretty lucky the last 5-6 years of my career at least, where someone askin

I don’t know what job you think I have, but my job is to identify and implement solutions to problems, not figure what problems exist from someone else’s contrived answer to the problem.

That’s a very silly statement. I’ve been asking that question for over a decade and it’s the question that makes me a better developer.

"What problem are we trying to solve?" is a question I have to ask constantly in corporate development environments, and rarely does anyone presenting the task to be done actually know the answer! It's very frustrating.

While not my technical first, it was the first of real consequence for me as well. And then I got so frustrated that I went to write my own forum software! And showed it to my friend, who promptly showed me how badly I understood security

My apartment complex came to install keypads and centrally managed smart thermostats and I would not let them. Thankfully my lease was old enough that I was able to argue against it. I don’t want a 3rd party company tracking my habits, and

Sometimes I wonder if the people working at frontier AI labs even talk to other humans anymore. Reading this little essay started out normal, but soon felt like a look into a disturbed and worrying mind, and if you find yourself taking it a

If you don’t think that China’s models have the capability to make POST requests to an HTTP endpoint, that is a very silly statement to make. Unless what you meant by capability is the story presented that these models “escaped containment

That’s an incredible strawman, and I appreciate the silliness of immediately suggesting the most complicated and ridiculous way to interpret the possibility of what I said, but no, not at all. That could certainly be possible and I wouldn’t

There’s a pretty simple Occam’s Razor for this. The Chinese AI labs don’t need to stage elaborate guerrilla advertising campaigns to drive up capital funding interest.

When I do use it, I try to only use it to do things I can already do. I don’t want to solve a new problem with an LLM programming assistant anyways - that’s the fun part of my work, why would I get rid of it?

I don't think that difference applies to anything in my comment at all. At no point did I imply that general-use AI could do those things - my point was that general-use AI cannot even do the things its designed for without strict huma
