we cannot escape the AI generated slop can we? online writing before 2022 is the low-background steel of the information age. now these models will all be training on their own output. what will the consequences be of this?

What website is this? It looks like fake news. Update: I did some searching around and this is definitely a fake news website.

As it gets more rigorous and predictable I suppose you could say it approaches psychology.

I love how we have such a poor model of how LLMs work (or more aptly don't work) that we are developing an entire alchemical practice around them. Definitely seems healthy for the industry and the species.

That’s not true actually. Like most things at law, it’s more complicated than that.

but here's the thing: why spend a bunch of time trying to formulate a prompt to give to a machine to generate a bad image to bring to an artist who would then refine it, when you could just say to the artist "one hand stabbing ano

I am heavily tattooed and I tried generating a few designs. I'm sorry to say that everything it suggested was awful, and if an artist ever showed me any of this in their flash collection I would block them on Instagram and potentially

I wouldn't get annoyed at the study—they're trying to discover objective facts about the world, and it is very important to know that a commonly-accepted sugar substitute causes a drastic and long-lasting increase in clotting beha

Reading this it sounds like 'AI' is when you build a heuristic model (which we've had for a while now) but pass some threshold of cost in terms of input data, GPUs, energy, and training. The classical approach was to understa

I'd argue that doing proof-of-possession for state maintenance/session persistence, rather than simple bearer tokens, is sorely needed.

Hi! Author of this proposal here. I’m loving all the feedback and wanted to address some things: * Yes, nonce tracking is expensive. HTTP request signatures could be used instead of nonces—they’re just not fully fleshed out yet, from what I

I see this as a complementary form of DPoP for first-party browser sessions. I took a lot of inspiration from DPoP, with the main novel construction being HMAC signatures over an interactively-negotiated shared secret vs. new elliptic curve

This may look cute, but you should know that buildings only do this when they are extremely distressed. If you see a building rotating, no matter how slowly, do not approach it!

Fortunately I never had to rely on it, but Simplisafe was super easy to set up, and had a nice app/interface/customer support.

Why do you think there was a golden age when there wasn't mediocrity, average-ness, simple and cheap and utilitarian designs? Is it because the bland cars and houses and advertisements from back in the day weren't nice enough to g

Actually, I think implementing first and standardizing later is how a lot of (dare I say, most?) Web standards came about. And without patents and other IP restrictions, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Well if you want passwords to be difficult to crack if an attacker gets access to the hashes, you kind of just have to deal with it.
