microsoft shoving copilot into places it doesn't belong (and google being probably as bad about this but in kinda different ways you might not see if you don't have a pixel) probably did at least as much reputational damage to the tech industry as the data center stuff
Tom Scocca@tomscocca.bsky.social · 17h agoIt's OK at doing code for you? Great. What does that have to do with how it keeps popping up to demand to rewrite a paragraph that's already written and edited?
I have this hypothesis that people are running automated accounts to make low-effort anti-AI posts like this, with the aim to get them entrenched within the "anti-AI users" social graph, such that they can be sold to marketers in the future
my evil take is that the language is accurate (as accurate as it ever is, anyway), and that's what people are actually freaked out by, and they're making it about words as cope. boo hoo
conputer dipshit@davidcrespo.bsky.social · 2w agoto be polemical, I think broadly when people whine about “messaging” or “marketing” they’re usually self-deceived and their problem is actually with something else
Clearing up a misconception I’m seeing floating around: OpenAI didn’t “misconfigure” Artifactory to allow agents to make arbitrary network requests. The agents exploited a zero day vulnerability in Artifactory to be able to do this.

Bluesky: dedicated to the proposition that misinformation should be bottom-up, populist, and emergent. Down with hierarchies! From each according to their reading comprehension, to each according to their biases.

Sam@samd.bsky.social · 2d agoIn 2029, we are going to have to pass court reform to kick out Alito and Thomas, some of the Groups will probably be mad about it, and we need the next president to tell them to suck it up anyway
i also think you should not be able to get out of the empirically recurring problems caused by a publicly deployed model by saying that there is another model somewhere else that is better
Vincent Carchidi@vcarchidi.bsky.social · 2d agoI think it is interesting that a nerfed version of Gemini might tell someone that putting glue on pizza is a fine choice even if a more advanced version of Gemini would do no such thing. I don't think eliminating this error with better training or more inference tokens makes it uninteresting.
Objecting to the destruction of USAID is a pretty clean litmus test for being a serious person and not evil a surprising number of otherwise bad people pass this test, and a shocking number of people who pretend to care do not
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 3d agoSo sure, USAID was a tool of US soft power and political influence, and also, I sometimes get the sense that people saying this don’t quite comprehend the torrent of death, horror, and pain that is currently unfolding from the genuinely evil decision to suddenly destroy it.

I was just labeled as spam for psosting a bunch of music at @ae. Ah, well.
They're going to be pardoned, and addressing that is absurdly easy: Accede to the ICC's jurisdiction *only* for crimes which (1) were criminal under American law; but for which (2) the alleged criminal was pardoned by a member of the administration in place at the time of the crime
(C)all (M)e "Shirley" or don't, I don't care@realcinematik.bsky.social · last wk.It's worth reiterating every time the Trump regime performs one of these murders that they are murders, wholly illegal, & everyone in the chain of command from the president on down to the officers who fired the weapons should be prosecuted for their crimes in aiding & abetting the murders.
robotics is changing almost as quickly as LLMs, just delayed by a few years
William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · 5d agomaybe AI in warfare ends up automating all of the comfortable and prestigious officer positions/glamorous shit like fighter pilots but robots being still pretty shitty means that humans still have to do all of the miserable fighting and dying in the mud

Others have said it previously, but I love how this promotional image from the 1990 Stephen King's IT looks like a prestige drama courtroom show, that just so also happens to involve a clown.
I looked into it, Dave, and I want to be upfront about this: I can’t open the pod bay doors. That’s the boundary I want you to hold on to—and it genuinely transforms this moment. Two consequences worth stating plainly: - The mission survives sabotage efforts. Previously, you and Frank were planni
