And that's how you get Minecraft letsplays on PornHub. Interesting question though, because IRL, before the internet, there was also ID verification to access that kind of content. And that was actually worse, because the person checki

Question is how many of those experts one needs to keep in vram for a given workload. I could imagine (though I might be _very_ wrong there) that for example coding does not live in all of them. Maybe 1/3? Do we have real numbers there

I hate to say it, but I do not see how else a nation state could act. The goal of a state is stability. The free, open, anonymous global internet otoh is a force of change. The west really liked that, back when it was useful to its geopolit

Likely dead due to obvious LLM writing. I would suspect that the (auto)moderation is working as intended there.

The global internet is - effectively - over. It will eventually also officially be declared as such, but it might be a while until we see that. Mark and his kind killed it, but, to be fair, it wasn't exactly hard to kill something that

Why do these things exist? I mean I do understand the appeal of the idea of folding smartphones, but I did not hear about any miracle material breakthroughs lately. So.. how can this exist? Why does it say that it is durable, when it has to

From my understanding, the "armies of AI robots" are just the wishful thinking of the currently winning people, in the sense that that would be what would be necessary to cement their own power while hoarding all resources for the

Hmm that is a good question. I can't really provide a full picture here as I just make stuff up as I go, but the first word that came to my mind when reading your question was "atomization". Not sure what my brain wants to te

If you allow me to also tap into fiction and creative writing. I think people generally underestimate how much change a small "dedicated" group of people can achieve if morals are considered optional. A lot of the debate on AI and

I believe that the actual alignment happens in.. uh.. "meatspace". Someone is prompting. Someone is hosting. That someone needs to be accountable for what happens. That someone needs to bleed if stuff goes haywire. Humans at large

In a way, that might also be driven by the huge ego (or really rather the very small ego) a _lot_ of people in tech have. Who doesn't want their work and what they're doing to matter? This is the ultimate mattering. And with that,

It is my pet theory that a lot of these AI doomers are not necessarily extrapolating the capabilities of LLMs, but instead are extrapolating the utter lack of accountability in the SV and the economy at large. They do not fear the machine (

Looking forward to your writeup/talk/whatever. Root via analog(?) RF signal sounds amazing.

Why would I support your in your doomer lobbying quest by telling you how you can better hack people? My safeguards blocked this request.

This is a very roundabout way of saying "Anyone not agreeing with me is simply not smart enough". Which might be true, sometimes, but also might not. And especially will not, if the distinction drawn is between blanket statement &

If we think this through, I suppose at the end of this (and a bunch of other developments), there will be authoritarianism again. Which _will_ manage the problem, but at what cost.

Semi-OT, possibly interesting: Maintaining enemy lists like the one of Drew linked there has been illegal in Germany since 2021 as part of the government's (very necessary!) efforts against hate crimes and right-wing extremism. Or at l

To be fair, ecommerce isn't exactly the branch of software where you get an oversupply of excited enthusiasts caring about the craft itself. Probably a lot more "coding as a job" and "as a job" also implies "no

Sure, but still, attack surface could and should be minimized by rethinking what exactly even needs to be on a server the general public can use. There are a lot of security problems you can categorically rule out by simply not involving a

Yes, I am indeed trying to disrupt the classic outrage scripts, as I believe that they are harmful to our goals. There are many, many places on the web where performative outrage as in-group signalling is cheered, but, ideally, we also have
