I would like some sort of proof of this claim. I genuinely don't know, but I would suspect that the gap between "things found" in LLM v. Human papers is not as great as we would like it to be.

Aha, I'm getting back into this sort of thing, and I've always been a fan of Tinc for things like this, but it is showing its age.

Is it? I guess look -- I'm an academic, I've read piles of articles such as these. Signal to noise, already not great. Yes, I feel like there's room to improve things, I just strongly doubt that "using AI to detect AI&

Oh, to be technically correct: AI hallucinates and makes up stuff 100% percent of the time. Never been a fan of that word for this. Again, I fail to see the problem here that isn't solved by careful reading WHICH IS WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD

Wait. Go on? Is this with or without the device? For the record, I always wondered why I couldn't do something like this with whatever magic is happening under the hood with Syncthing. I've been doing networking related things for

The important question is: So what? Genuinely. I get that there may be some visceral reaction against this, but when I break it down, I mostly fail to see the problem. Seems like what is actually important is: Compared to before, when a hu

Old guy here, wild that people don't know this. Like, I have fiber and a static IP. Never much thought about hosting a website from my house because it didn't seem all that special. Maybe I should?

The interesting irony of using Bruno Mars, who, for my taste, really is something like Human AI. Uptown Funk is a very enjoyable track -- but if you're familiar with his influences, it can make his music generally stale and unenjoyable

What 50 years of security do you speak of here? I kid, somewhat. I do think it's good to remember, "running things on your system with full admin rights" goes all the way back to monopoly-era Microsoft where it was never mean

Right, and I think I mean "whichever one the big companies are trying to sell us on." :)

This literally proves it's not "intelligent," no? "Stop typing in 'load-bearing' or you're fired," would work with any competent human. But this requires tinkering and tooling?

No, I mean it's absurd that a horrible "standard" like a Word Doc has such staying power, and that we have to keep writing things against it.

I feel like a lot of people here are understating this issue. This is a stupid stupid thing to "allow," for every party involved here. You're a stupid programmer if you're letting these things touch your files. You'

Good work on the effort to the author. And every time y'all, how absurd is it that this still has to exist? It never stops being wild to me.

So, I think of articles like this that evaluate "software" or "tools" or the value of "coding" so often miss the huge point of "there are a lot of different kinds of software/tools." It just depe

So, I'm a college instructor, and sometimes I find myself reading a paper that I dislike -- and as I get into it I'm finding that I'm mentally arguing with the content and the actual argument(s) (as opposed to "quality o

I have a related cybersecurity point. No interface should, on a regular basis, contain buttons that, if pressed -- harm the computer and other computers near it. And of course, this is links in modern email.

Anyone else laugh out loud when they read this? Like, okay so NO, that's entirely impossible. What's really going on?

VPN (or other) Tunnel. That's the objective answer. There's no mystery here. That's exactly how you get what you want and it's not too hard. Not trying to dunk on you or anyone one but this is an easily solved problem,

Right, I think the major thing that both of you are unwittingly dancing around is the extent to which AAV is generally "popular," almost subconsciously. Especially in the US, but I'd argue the whole world. It would be exceed

Not to my knowledge, and I imagine even trying to do this would stir up.. a lot. The more I think about it, the more difficult it seems. Not that it shouldn't be done, but wow.

"Identity based activist communities" feels like a hilariously ham-fisted attempt to connect together extremely different groups.

This is going to be a thing where the individual parties might get something like reliable anonymity, and Google will still be able to trace it, right?

It's funny, and perhaps not entirely unwarranted, that "racism" pops up here? As a Black American, I find the author's idea extremely interesting and naturally began to wonder -- what might this idea (in code?) look like

And what does this do safety/privacy-wise? Nothing, except make it more available. This is why I often argue against (or at least want to point out the dangers of) the ATProto/Bluesky model. It's an absolute boon for people

An interesting problem in the background of this is the cope. Which is to say, there are a lot of people who think "they can tell AI" in music, wherein you can cue the famous picture of the airplane with the bulletholes. I'm

Nothing personal, but there's something hilarious about "I demand a quick and easy solution to a likely practically impossible problem once you get into details" -- in opposition to AI.

I have NEVER SEEN A MORE PERFECT distillation of modern casual economics discourse than the last two comments. Hilarious.
