CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@occult stylus computing is back

@ariadne they probably did not want to have this lawsuit this soon, but claude did

@jalefkowit It would have been easier (and cheaper!) for everyone if we just gave Iran some nukes

@cwebber For my own stuff I find code as art to be a spectrum, with different projects falling at different points on the line. It correlates heavily with the extent to which I feel like using LLMs for that project or not.

@0xabad1dea this rocks, pick any random homelab on fedi and it's probably destroying github lol

@cR0w olds should start calling anything and everything "the new six seven"

@pomarede I remember when that first happened I was wondering if it would affect longevity, but not yet!

@wwahammy the old encryption export controls are exactly what this age verification stuff made me think of too

@jwz naturally this is why they registered aliens dot gov

@blog I really dislike the mentality that crypto cemented in the minds of the general public, that if you are simply a FAN of a thing early that it will make you rich.

I think this is a lot of what is behind the AI spam problem as people have had to come to terms with the fact that they do not in fact hold a claudecoin that will reward them for sitting on their ass. That claude sub is actually the reverse, where they are paying for the privilege of feeling like they are early.

@cas Have the projects received guidance from actual lawyers? It doesn't seem like the text of the legislation is final in a lot of jurisdictions. I don't know if anybody knows what interpretation or enforcement might look like either. If the devs' hands get forced then it is what it is, but it feels like an own goal to pre-comply too early.

@feoh between this and the age verification field they should have near 100% coverage for user alienation

@rysiek After skimming the article I'm kinda torn on this. I think would-be-employees asking about what kind of resources (and quotas) they'll have at the job are fair questions. I think employers trying to frame it as comp is scummy. Your comp package includes 20 cups of coffee per pay period.

@ariadne Yeah, you basically already answered it yourself, but China really destroyed the idea that there's some super secret training data that people can't get

@ariadne I think your question in the fourth point is answered by your first point. A lot of the secret sauce is just hoarding compute.

@ariadne It might not be well received by everyone, but would read a blog post if you do write one

@ariadne Did you pull in a tool use data set to fine tune on, or was this accomplished entirely through prompting? I've always been interested in how lean the models can get.

@ariadne new eval, you ask it to generate a random password and it has to respond with hunter2

@eniko When the dust settles there needs to be an accounting of which practices were brought back and which ones were not brought back. We focus a lot on the former and miss the latter.

@kevinbowen I'm not an AI abstainer myself, but even I have some apprehension. I mostly just want to see people being critical of the outputs, and I don't always see that.
