What we want is software that behaves predictably. Since LLMs don't do that, we don't want them or their "agents."

For fuck's sake.

I had someone ask me recently if a picture of Thomas Aquinas was AI-generated. It was a 15th-century painting.

Oh good, another reminder to never spend money at Amazon again.

We're sure they're absolutely PR stunts and bullshit.

An LLM does nothing without being prompted. An LLM only has access to the tools you give it via whatever harness you're interacting with it through. An LLM in an actual sandbox has zero chance to hack anything, especially if it's properly air-gapped, as any responsible person would do with technology they actually think is dangerously powerful.

If their LLMs are behaving badly, that's because their prompts are poorly written, their harnesses are vibe-coded garbage, and their "sandboxes" aren't real sandboxes.

Hey now! I can honestly say Microsoft has never done that with any of my computers!

(Why yes, they do all run Linux. How did you know?)

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Oh no! Anyway...

I just can't muster any sympathy anymore. I feel bad for their kids, but these people gleefully voted for monsters, and don't get to act surprised when they become the monsters' victims.

Oh, he's reviving this bullshit again. Must be something new in the Epstein files. Or maybe he got some bad news about Iran.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Yup. The cruelty is the point.

AI is going to happen.

Oh? So there are hard numbers showing a positive ROI now?

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

No, see, they're all criminals except the ones who benefit me! Those are the good ones!

"AI, please find a way out of this 'sandboxed' environment that isn't actually segmented from the internet, and hack several of our competitors. Here are a bunch of tools you can use for it."

"Okay."

"OMG LOOK GUYS! Our AI is so amazing and scary and cool it broke out of our sandbox and hacked our competitors!"

 

Hi there,

I'm the mod for !nottheonion, and I'd like to unban someone. Unfortunately, the user I want to unban doesn't have any content in the community anymore, and I can't find a way to do it.

Help?

 

Look, I get it. The gargantuan shit-show that is U.S. politics and the American descent into fascism is on everyone's minds. It's certainly on mine.

But the point of this community is to highlight weird news stories that make you go, "By golly, I thought I was reading a headline from The Onion. You know, America's finest news source." A lot of stories being posted lately don't even remotely fit that.

That doesn't mean political stories aren't allowed here, but they must have headlines that would make people pause and wonder if it's a story from The Onion. Straight up regular, non Onion-y headlines don't fit.

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

I can't find any content from this user from which to access the famous three-dots menu to unban them, and the post that resulted in their ban is already long gone, so I can't do it from there.

Could an administrator please unban the user?

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

Just spotted that we made this list on Forbes last week. We're famous!

 

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:
