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.
Addition to that, why do some look like Goatse?
Hello fellow memebuild enjoyer
You need to have levels in several subclasses of extremely online to even understand that.
It was an attempt to solve a problem at the time (which partially still exists now) it had some use then (as it does now). It just didn't work as something that would be adopted by the general public for various reasons. Stuff like, you need to go to an open source conference.
Without looking it up i can tell you that coin already exists and the value has crashed already
Dont think you can solve social problems with technical solutions tbh
Ah yes, back to key signing parties. But dumber.
I'm pretty annoying myself, so I figure I would rate highly on the 'likely to be murdered' prediction tool. That is what it is right? Right?
Moldbug really is the one exception here isn't he?
Time waits for nobody.
Otoh having different groups of the sneer, sneercells (no wait that name needs work) if you will. Can also be useful, esp as authoritarianism etc increases. (Not that I think govs would go after us, apart from an infiltration risk).
E: Hell, I myself am prob a risk factor. First the Dutch secret service should have file on me (else they are not doing their job, I was active in student activism, and did STEM (which also had an active (and targeted for infiltration, we know because counterhacks) hacker group) education (a known terrorism risk increaser), before my faulty brain wiring caused me to drop off the map a bit, and I know several of these groups have been targeted for infiltration recently, and long ago). I also have had just too many official twitter police accounts follow me and then unfollow me without liking a single post for it to be just a coincidence (three times being enemy action). Of course, I'm now old and passive, so if they still think I'm a risk they certainly are not doing their job (I could be a source of information however). But this is enough for me to consider that my real life identity is known enough to be a risk. And this is just about the Dutch police/secret service, there is also the risk of TracingWoodGrains like people trying to get all up in your (social) networks to try and get validation from themotte. And I have read enough stories about cybercriminals that you need to think about this stuff long before it is actually needed, also I'm paranoid.
From according to yt, that was him in 2017. This is the clearest I could (quickly) find, others are just low res webcam things.
Subtle dig on Nick Land not being relevant anymore considering that drawing is of him 30+ years ago.
Lol yeah I was thinking about either posting about cognitive dissonance or mentioning that trying to find the kernels of corn in shit still means you are digging through shit. Cognitive dysentery is so much better.
