Remember that even if you hate AI, you should be messing with AI features if you are the product in a service. That inference may be subsidized but still costs money. You can kill AI features with the CFO when Product has to justify their 100x burn with flat conversion.
Don't want them to learn anything about you or use your input as training data? Sure would be a shame if frontier LLMs got really obsessed with linked lists (made of goblins).
Remember: that AI button costs them money
@grey the annals of government are so lousy with people who fetishize power itself that there is almost certainly a NIST SP for this.
@acdha @cigitalgem variant hunting is a time honored security research tradition and tools for doing it at scale have never been better (and will continue to improve)
The claim that Mythos found its "flagship" BSD bug because the upstream Kerberos bug/patch from 2007 is in the training set is very interesting. It significantly weakens the novel discovery claim, but makes me wonder about the implications for how transformers evaluate input weights and whether this could be extracted and leveraged as a variant hunting technique.
Or maybe you could just straight grep for the vulnerable code block from every patch ever and see what falls out. That may also be embarrassingly effective.
@mttaggart browser extension development and security practices writ large are stuck in 1995 I stg
@corq it's a "desirable" NLA sport sedan but still...
@Lemniscate I forget that growing up in Mountains Lite with curiosity-indulging parents is not normal and regular eight year olds do not read The Hot Zone enough to dog-ear all the pages.
@Lemniscate yeah people out here like "what's a hantavirus" and I'm like damn I hope the forest service has extra hantavirus placards cause that shit gonna get stolen from trailheads a LOT now
@corq everyone under the sun "wants to buy" my paid off car
no you can't have it
Y'all I just got rageblocked and accused of AI psychosis because I was like "maybe you should understand the technology"
If this is how the anti-LLM camp are gonna be...yikes.
Are the people at the helms of the frontier labs probably bad? Yes.
Is continuing to overinvest in this technology to the detriment of local communities and natural resources bad? Yes.
But also...
The open weight models are trained. That compute is used. That water is boiled. That technology will continue to exist. 16 GB OSS models are about the size of 2 hours of 4k streaming. 2 billion inference tokens is also about 16gb. For reference, that is between $10k and $50k of frontier model pricing, depending on output vs input (output is more expensive).
But like, if your beef is with the amount of datacenter power and water consumption from consuming an already trained inference API high definition streaming costs about that. A 4k Netflix habit has the same energy footprint as LLMing for an equivalent time period.
By all means let's pillory what the technology is doing to jobs, communities, and the environment. But uh, if you want total bifurcation of the community, this is how you get that. Which, I guess is probably fine for some folks! But I can tell you that capital-M Money has chosen a side and unless you already have a completely self-sustaining subsistence community (this includes tools, antibiotics, etc), a non-zero percentage of team No LLMs For Anything Ever And Fuck You are going to have to do limited cooperation for resources.
@Nonya_Bidniss it's DEFINITELY hella dodgy. Pictures of the Trump family doing propaganda shit are freely available and the product they're selling is so vague that failure to achieve objectives just gives them a way to double down: "the evil radical left is out raising us five to one! Join other true patriots in doubling your support today!"
@Nonya_Bidniss good old winred and their dark pattern hell. I feel bad for their non-terrible kids because their inheritances are gonna be zero.
It's...very clear who we are preying on here:
@SecureOwl HEY EVERYONE THIS GUY IS BUYING BEZOS BONER PILLS
@carnage4life yeah as someone who grew up in the Final Boss of Redlining (PNW) 100% this
@0xabad1dea yep, my spouse is currently dealing with Border Collie Ennui because MY HUMAN is not home
Which would be a better leader?
option A: Donald Trump
option B: Leaky trash bag from outside a McDonald's full of discarded Filet o' Fish and Diet Coke
White people: MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! MANUFACTURING JOBS! BLOOD AND SOIL!
China: here are some manufacturing jobs, in America, that will make modern cost-effective personal transportation more available
White people:
@gilduran.com my favorite thing is Roblox restricting chat unless you verify you're an adult. (I volunteer with BBBS, so I unfortunately do have a Roblox account).
No gamer chat? Don't threaten me with a good time.
@hacks4pancakes In my experience, challenging vets (or anyone else worldly by circumstance) to food challenges is always a losing battle.
An acquaintance of mine from an OLD summer break job is a media guy, and his studio just finished a CRT wall you can rent.
Preem. I love this.
