That’s not a viable business, it’s a walking liability. Besides which, why would anyone trust your friend (as an investor or customer) ever again when they’ve shown such profound disregard for user data and their IP? If your metric of succe

I'd be curious to know what your success rate is with altering the system prompt. I'd be surprised if this wasn't more of an issue with the application layer, and therefore easily modifiable, than the LLM.

It's a straw man in that you're establishing an inherently facile and ridiculous scenario just to knock it down. A scenario that, as others have demonstrated, is not grounded in any logical reality. "Nobody mentioned this ima

If you're going to prompt an LLM to write a low-effort marketing blog that doesn't even reckon with the most surface level counter-arguments, at least make sure your web server can handle the traffic.

What's especially frustrating about all of these "Signal could flip a switch and steal everybody texts!" histrionics is that if they were interested in doing that they... wouldn't work at Signal. They'd go join&#x2F

This thread isn't about data in general, only passwords. So first of all, a strong password is much harder to crack in the instance that it's stored in a hashed form in the database. In the instance it's stored (unforgivably)

As someone who frequented a lot of video game-centric Invision Power Boards in the early 2000s, this is deeply insulting.

Use multi-factor authentication and strong, unique passwords for everything and you'll never have to worry about this.

Fortunately there's no risk of that happening here.

I think this is a feature rather than a bug for AI advocates who ultimately dream of a day when they can do away with pesky things like labor forces and be a CEO of their own rentier-capitalist empire without hassle. Employees are just a ve

I think the point with most applications of LLMs is that the users don’t care if it’s good, only if it’s good enough . How much despair this induces is down to your bias for whatever subject is being reduced.

Firefox has made a few headlines over the past year for privacy-unfriendly moves. That's the context you're missing, despite it being in some of the first sentences of the linked article.

Lots to unpack here but I'll just say that I think it would probably matter to a lot of people if they were forced to use something that increased their pointless work by 35%, regardless of whether their work mattered to you or not.

People keep offering this hypothetical 10% acceptable false positive rate, but the article says it’s more like 35%. Imagine if your workplace implemented AI and it created 35% more unfruitful work for you. It might not seem like an “unquali

That's only true if you see politics as hewing to the two party paradigm. Sam Altman, Elon Musk et al., aren't liberals or conservatives, they're capitalists. Their ideological consistency, their only alignment, is to the gro

Besides this just... not really being true of Lynch's films, it also misses how a Lynch film came to be. David Lynch didn't pull out a notepad and go, "Okay, time to write a Lynch film." He just decided to make a film

A lot of people in this thread have an extremely facile understanding of art, David Lynch, and the capabilities of generative AI, but I look forward to someone returning to this thread in 10 or 100 years or whatever to link me to a convinci

Well that's one of the wonderful things about saying "one day AI will be able to do x," you don't really need to have any evidence for some segment of the population to believe it's not just plausible but inevitable

This actually seems far less likely than for other directors. Lynch's style is so idiosyncratic it has its own name. AI has predominantly been good at synthesizing a broad gesture at a wide range of styles. Not really suited for recrea

Asking people to install something with no information about how it works or who built it is... certainly a move.

Specifically, on that point they claimed "a lot of protests that turned violent," implying that Russian agitators were responsible for escalation. Unless the Russian agitators are members of the police, that seems very unlikely.
