The addendum is a fascinating look into the thought process and misery of reconciling contradicting directives and rules in good faith. Anyone who has dealt with that in real life will be very familiar with this.
Forced Descent: Google Antigravity Persistent Code Execution Vulnerability - Mindgard

Just need to get a programmer with kenophobia and a love for golf, and you will be set 🚀
Kyle Shevlin (he/him)@kyleshevl.in · 11mo agoI wanted to make a joke about devs who write code as if they're afraid of whitespace, so I did some research to make a new "phobia". Turns out, "kenophobia" exists, the fear of empty spaces or voids. It also turns out there's a genre of art named after this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_...
Kind of sounds like expressing self through expressions consumed vs. Learning about others through expressions consumed
Talia "ATTACK DOGS is out now!" Bhatt ⚢@taliabhatt.itch.io · 11mo ago"I DNF first-person books if I can't relate to the protagonist" is a kind of illiteracy. The point of first person is not to insert yourself into a narrative. You are supposed to experience and empathize with the perspective of a character that is intended to be fully fleshed out.
I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.
I suppose the closest thing to physical ownership on PC is putting a GOG game onto an external drive.
In recent days, oddly similar AI-generated videos depicting nonexistent Black people accompanied by captions such as “dear white people” and “hit follow if you want peace” have proliferated on TikTok. Here's a look at the spam network posting the videos. www.conspirator0.com/p/one-ai-gen...

When we didn't give documentation, context, or intent to people: things were awful. When we give those things to AI: production popped off. AI is amazing
justin from the internet@threlk.net · 12mo agoanother irony that attaches to this one: the systems you build atop “AI” are in many cases composed of piles of semi structured text files, which is to say: process documentation and other knowledge artifacts — objects that carry value for humans but are often under valued
friday soapbox: as a designer, if you want something to be a skillful action for players, and you want growth in this skill to be very deep/meaningful, then you need to also let players be bad at it. sometimes horrendously bad. players hate this pain, and designers often want to mitigate it away.
I think sometimes that attitude is used to offload responsibility on to someone else, with the justification that they're "smart," so that makes it okay. On the other hand, it's fine to be impressed with someone grasping something that we don't. But also-also everyone has something like that.
Objectivity, impartiality and balance are all *different things*, and the lazy tendency to treat them as synonyms, and to use partisan balance alone as a proxy for the others, is the root cause of a vast amount of nonsense.
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · 12mo agoRobbie Gibb once suggested that reporters should reflect if they were getting more retweets from one side than the other - a braindead analysis that ignores that fair and impartial reporting of education might get more Tory retweets than say, criminal justice.
I have this take that I'm struggling to put into words, but I believe when possible, you should prefer maps to conditionals. There was a talk by Sandi Metz years ago, I'll try and find it, but she says, "I'm condition averse, I want to pass messages to objects" and I think she's right.
Software companies already don't listen to QA, it's one of the reasons why everything is getting worse Using AI to do the majority of testing will just make ignoring bugs even easier www.videogameschronicle.com/news/square-...

You don't have to be a compiler engineer to understand that trampolines are small hops to far destinations.

Going to be thinking about this thread for a while
Doll@dollspace.gay · 12mo agoSomething doll has been thinking about. Many people mistake beliefs for knowledge. Its a very human and common cognitive bias. People tend to trust the people around them to tell them both honest and accurate information, who "know" what they "know" because they trusted someone else etc.

The Limits of LLM-Generated Unit Tests
Developers often ask LLMs like OpenAI Codex to write tests for their code - and they do. The tests compile, run, and even pass, giving a sense of confidence. But how much can we really trust those tests? If an LLM only sees the source code and a few comments, does it truly understand what the software is supposed to do?

DuendeonFuego@duendeonfuego.bsky.social · last yr.so the work project my boss built with AI collapsed pretty much exactly as I said it would two months back and somehow this is my fault
In these cases I wonder if it evens out on catching bugs in good tests that weren't written before vs missing bugs poorly reviewing wrong tests. Or if any teams will ignore the test results and feel accomplished with tests existing (80% is still a good grade, right folks?)
Kavinay@kavinay.bsky.social · last yr.I mean... there are lots of dev teams where no unit tests are the other option so I can see these being shoe-horned in to epic results down the road 🫢
I'm wondering to what extent (AI) psychosis is a statistical linguistic outcome of a person (or LLM) talking to themselves for too long without accepting a context of external, challenging feedback
