"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The statement was written by one of the architects of ActivityPub. I can assure you, she is quite serious about this thesis. Whether it happens exactly like that or not, not for me to judge because I'm not a cybersecurity expert.
I do believe that, as a general rule, agentic network activity is indistinguishable from malware.
Nor am I an expert either. I'm not doubting her credentials, I'm just doubting if she's not sucked down in a vortex right now. That's the thing with these LLMs, they are created by companies that are all-time at finding ways to hit you with dopamine and suck you in. People keep losing sight of that.
