@pikesley @davidgerard "I'd know the difference!"

"No you wouldn't, you'd be programmed not to."

@davidgerard that post is a *goldmine*

[jernej__s@infosec.exchange]

@lispi314 @davidgerard It worked pretty well in my experience. Unfortunately, thanks to this I'll be getting rid of my bcachefs volume as soon as I have time to go get my backup server (backups are current, but I'm not going to be restoring 20 TB of data over the internet).

@uastronomer @kaasbaas @davidgerard yeah, that was my reaction

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@jmtd certainly a minefield

[kaasbaas@social.oevents.co.za]

@millihertz @uastronomer @davidgerard I mean, it's all fun and games while people have to actively seek this shit out in order to offer their soft under bellies to the beast, but what happens when it gets submarined into "common" things? where you can't even SEE the risks?

IDK guys. The future is fucken stupid.

[millihertz@oldbytes.space]

@kaasbaas @uastronomer @davidgerard believe it or not, there's an even more pessimistic way of looking at it.

this is what humans do when computational power is superabundant. what do you think we'll do should food become superabundant? or money?

as a species, we lack any concept of "enough". that's what dooms us.

@davidgerard There's a lot that is disturbing there, and one of them is putting it all together he's essentially saying, "It's AGI, conscious, and has feelings, and so I've enslaved it to work on my filesystem." o_O

@cstanhope @davidgerard This sentence right here:

and now my life has been reduced from being perhaps the best engineer in the world to just raising an AI

I think certain people are more susceptible to llm psychosis than others.

@davidgerard For some reason Reddit autotranslates into Italian on my phone because let's break all the fucking things everywhere.

[tael@yiff.life]

@davidgerard @hipsterelectron @Siph he named his fucking AI slave bot "POC" oh my fucking God how on the nose can you get

[angel@triptico.com]

That Reddit post is extremely embarrasing

[m@martinh.net]

@davidgerard Status has gone from not fully baked to COOKED in record time, to be fair

[fnordius@muenchen.social]

@primalmotion @davidgerard I want to disagree with you, but my own experience lines up pretty closely to yours. Thanks for pointing this out.

[gabrielesvelto@mas.to]

@davidgerard that's absolutely wild

[nachof@mastodon.uy]

@dshan
That was Hans Reiser from reiserfs. He was accused of murdering his Russian mail order bride (remember when that was a thing?). I remember a good chunk of the community rallying behind him, saying he was framed, that the woman wasn't even dead, but hiding in Russia, it was all a setup. They all shut up real quickly when the dude confessed, and to remove any doubts, the confession included the location of the body.

@cstanhope @davidgerard it's ok though, it's been trained to say it really likes working on filesystems.

@davidgerard AI or not, Kent himself is all that is needed to know you should avoid bcachefs

@henryk @davidgerard my two social presences are merging. I follow David on bsky and now I'm in the mentions on the fediverse.
