  • Ebola outbreak ‘spreading rapidly’ as suspected cases rise, WHO head says

  • My understanding is that it's just too good at killing people. The virus needs to have a long incubation period where the person is infectious, but doesn't show symptoms to really get going.

  • Is "AI slop" enough?

  • You could've said the exact same thing about the internet in the early 2000s when the bubble was at its peak and you had a bunch of companies trying to make products that made no sense. But when the hype died down, and the bubble popped, we got a lot of very useful tech out of it. The situation with LLMs is exactly the same.

    While LLMs are stochastic in nature, that doesn't in any way make them useless. There are plenty of scenarios where they work extremely well. For example, just last week, I wanted to figure out how to decode RAW files from my camera. I have a Nikon, and it uses NEF format which is proprietary and has no open source decoder right now. I threw an LLM at decompiling a binary and tracing it in memory as it was doing the decoding. After a few days, the LLM managed to write the code that decodes the images. This is absolutely not something I would've been able to do on my own. And the fact that there aren't any open source drivers yet, shows that it's a very difficult task to accomplish. That's just one real world example.

  • Is "AI slop" enough?

  • Yeah that's definitely my impression as well. Fediverse as a whole has become a place where people love to come to rant about LLMs now.

  • People who add vapid noise to threads because of their personal pet peeve suck way more ass than AI ever could.

  • Megalodon chums the waters in 5.5K+ GitHub repo poisonings

    Jump

  • The exploit affects repository owners if they merge the malicious commit, their CI/CD pipeline gets infected, and their cloud credentials, SSH keys,GitHub tokens, and etc., are stolen. Anyone working on compromised repositories or using CI/CD variables could have their credentials exfiltrated. If you are not a repository owner or contributor to affected repos then your direct risk is likely low. The article lists 5,561 infected repositories, so if you don't contribute to or use any of those repos (the full list was published by SafeDep), you're fine.

  • Is "AI slop" enough?

    Jump

  • Ironically, I see far more visual pollution from people whinging about AI slop than actual AI slop at this point. People will incessantly complain about AI everywhere, derailing conversations and adding noise. If somebody spots an em dash somewhere then a whole thread turns into a discussion of whether something written by an LLM or not, and whether it's acceptable for humans to use em dashes. It's frankly exhausting.

    Anand says Canadians subject to 'appalling abuse' after flotilla detained by Israel

  • And I explained why your explanation is ahistorical and does not match observed reality. There is a discussion to be had regarding messaging, but the reality of the situation is that the sate has a monopoly on legalized violence in form of police and military forces, and it is not shy about using violence against the public. This is true for every western country where mass protests are suppressed brutally and violently. The only realistic option for the working majority is to build power structures that are able to meet the violence of the state standing up.

  • Nice straw man, nowhere did I say anything about doing only one form of political engagement at a time. In fact, that's precisely what I was deriding in my comment.
