Ah a food related charity that is important wonder what they did with the millions, ah release papers. That is ...
With the collapse of the US empire and hegemony in progress wonder if they actually did something with this or if it is all another thought experiment.
E: wow that users posts history is something. Drops that article 3 years ago. Silence till some weird comment (directly addressing yud claiming they had some big breakthrough, about the mind state of the zizians of course. And it is all speculation and way too verbose).
"In hindsight, CFAR co-founder Anna Salamon told NBC, “we were creating conditions for a cult.”", if only there had been people warning about this, sadly such a club didn't exist. Anyway, im sure this will lead to them reflecting and changing things.

Quick post: bad news here in Europe, Meta allowed to scrape facebook/instagram. bad source (just a screenshot isn't great as a source)
Time to start a new business to distract people the previous one is not living up to expectations. Musk style. (A degree of vertical integration will also be involved)
E: '"The Grok integration with X has made everyone jealous,” says someone working at another big AI lab. “Especially how people create viral tweets by getting it to say something stupid.”' These are deeply unserious people, billions of dollars just to build AI Dril, which was already a thing. Is there some weird nerd somewhere who said something like 'culture is downstream from viral memes' or something just as dumb? Related to that, so I have basically quit twitter, and only visit there to look up if a quoted thing was real etc, but damn the site has gotten bad. How does anybody use it when so many replies are either bot replies, ai replies or people using their checkmark to push their one word replies to the top? Esp bigger accounts/viral tweets just get swarmed with shit. It has a bit of the 'comment section of abandoned blog' feeling to it. And this is the validation the AI company craves?
Wtf
E: it might have been fixed, now only if they also fixed all the other things. Erugh hate how much they are offloading the 'is this valuable' thing on just how mad (and who) people are getting. Such an extreme social cost (but very 'X but on the blockchain!' techbro style offloading of the costs unto others)
Yeah, it is fucking scary. My sympathies and solidarity. Small thing, perhaps a good reminder for everybody to check their opsec (esp if you are an administrator of things, check which data you do not need, or should not fall into the current (or future) us/other fascist administrations hands. And remember while spying on Americans by the various orgs is illegal, trading for information on them with other countries is not. Don't forget backups). It is horrible that it has come to this. One small point of light is that they are fools and can't shut up or be subtle. At least that has a chance to motivate more people to do something, which if it gets to the worst (and it is getting close) more people will actually resist (sadly a lot of people will have to realize that the point becomes not to win, but to impose costs/friction, and any wins are a bonus, which is a horrible realization in itself). Really hope this doesn't make things worse mentally btw.
A new hat let me check almost clicks wait a minute, I can't afford a new monitor, you are trying to trick me!
Fair enough, I thought it was a funny reaction esp as I had never heard of the brand, and also never will again after this.
Have the Proud Boys eaten anyone yet?
My bet, yes but it has not been publicly revealed.
Every 3 months! Every 3 months fucking hell. (I know because last time they came in the news I opened a tab with them in it, and their faces was the last I saw before my monitor exploded, like literally suddenly I sat in darkness.
I was reminded of Risky Business and how some of the cybersecurity is sometimes relevant to this sub, which reminded me they talked about this Cryptocurrency people being actually rubber hosed
And of course somebody goes full transphobia in the comments (with one of the dumbest arguments, which I will not repeat here because transphobia)
When people push for this kind of delusional shit for their own political gain I always think of fantasy demonology which goes 'do not summon that which you cannot put down'. Also why I think lying for political gain (which people keep pushing for the left to also start doing, argh) is such a bad strategy if you care about actual real things and people. And I don't get it in a way, there is enough bad shit to point to, why make up stuff.
The first part of that sentence is such a great example of what is wrong with Slatestarcodex style rationalism. It instantly fails the "Victorian Sufi Buddha Lite” comment policy (it is neither kind, charitable, nor backed up by evidence, also it is culture war). But that is only if think SSC is grey tribe, and these rules are rules. It is more rules in the way of how conservatism has rules. “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” (quote is by a Frank Wilhoit, just not the one people attribute it too). (I know it isn't directly posted in the ssc comments, but isn't that a nice way to get around the comment policy).
The culture war far right has an extreme hateboner for Taylor Lorenz, it is one of those really crazy things (they have a lot of hateboners for random people, which they keep for decades, and as you said almost always women).
E: on that note, apparently culture warrior rightwingers are still mad about the 'choose man or bear' thing, and in a way that justifies the points made by the org thought experiment on how men are more likely to be malicious and unpredictable. Holy shit we suck so much at listening to people when we think the source is a woman.
I don't know how new it is, but it first dropped on my radar about a year ago due to listening to the Risky Business cybersecurity podcast, not to be confused with the recent (and baffingly named ()) podcast called 'Risky Business with Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova' () by dweeb Nate Silver. So I don't know how long it was going on the wild, and im talking about the windows button + r attack method and not the github comments, no idea how long they used comments as a vector. And yes that part is also good, like the addition of trust of github + quite an effective attack is clever. Shouldn't work on Real Nerds however.
: The name means that at least one of they didn't [know|care|google] about the decades old cybersecurity podcast before naming their podcast that is true. Any of those is odd.
: addition to above, the tagline of the podcast is 'a weekly podcast about making better decisions' Look inwards Nate, look inwards.
For a while now I jave wondered how much of those "the llms all fail at this very basic task" problems that suddenly get fixed are not fixed by the model getting better but just a bandaid solution which solves that specific problem. (Putting another llm in front of the input to detect the problem and then sending it to the llm that is trained on that specific problem would be a bandaid solution btw, it is just adding more under the trenchcoat). And even if somebody were to answer this question, the well is so poisoned im not sure if I could believe them.
Yeah that copy paste commands that give control over your pc shit is pretty nasty. Also over a year old at least. So it isnt specifically an attack at vibe coders. Not sure what the initial targets were but these usually try to target people not that knowledgeable in computer matters so lol that this now includes vibe coders.
