I would like to thank every LLM provider and startup for changing this paradigm by introducing a much weaker link in the chain.
@neurovagrant while the post is funny, fundamentally, no, they haven't. what they've done is creating something that is considered by the weakest link in the chain to be something that improves the security, when it does the opposite

@neurovagrant Not on their own, but Llm's do allow different humans to also compete for weakest link.

@neurovagrant The weakest link is a mediocre statistical approximation of the human.

Sorry, who decided to, and then gave these tools access to do so?
Putting a non-deterministic tool with """safeguards""" there has very predictable consequences. If not humans, who exactly is to blame for this mess?
Cause it sure isn't a pile of numbers. -

Oh I see. In that case we should blame the fundamental forces of the universe for kicking off formation of planets and bootstrapping abiogenesis and evolution. -

The math models (locally hosted, fitting on gaming GPUs) can be fairly easily be made useful and helpful (a few days of effort after work) in menial tasks that can't be completed deterministically, provided basic oversight. They cost pennies, and they're private. -

To my knowledge, the fundamental forces of the universe, just like dead matter (including LLMs), don't have agency of their own.
Humans do. -

Guns, like any tool, need to be carefully managed by any human owning/ controlling them. LLMs can do a crapload of damage, but they can't be held accountable, just like a computer can't be held accountable for what sysadmins do. -

I don't.I'm a stimulus-response machine. I'm governed by the laws of physics exclusively.

Running Qwen3.5 on my 7900xtx eats as much power as running any video game. I have zero issue with running LLMs locally to assist with my journals/ notes. Nothing compared to a data center. -

@neurovagrant We invented tech vulnerable to classic computer viruses, and social engineering too! Best of both worlds!

@neurovagrant i suspect we have two weak links now, great!
