CIRCLE WITH A DOT

YouTube just recommended to me an AI generated summary (complete with slop images) of a Ray Bradbury novel.

Well. Nothing left to do but burn it all down. They have touched what I hold sacred, and have forced my hand.

@born0monday Whoa. Teamspeak. Just got a nostalgia wave and now I'm thinking about all those hours playing Call of Duty: United Offensive and sitting in the clan Teamspeak server.

Been traveling, helping family move, etc. What did I miss? Surely no terrible CVEs dropped this weekend, right?

@CrabbyIT I had a boss at my last job (left there 2 years ago) who absolutely did not have as much technical knowledge as he pretended to have, start using ChatGPT to answer questions. I remember when several of us realized it because his Slack messages had that same "mostly correct, but slightly incorrect" type of LLM output. Several people started asking him additional questions until he finally said "I don't know, I can't get a better answer from ChatGPT". At least getting him to admit it was satisfying.

@adapalmer I've got plenty of this stuff in my aquarium every few months if any researchers need some fresh cyanobacteria for these experiments

@geerlingguy I'm starting a social network called "The Void". Posts are called "screams" and no one else can see them.

If you haven't checked it out yet, be sure to check out @ifin. Growing community of interesting people coming together to share infosec news and threat intel.

@mathew Ah, I didn't realize they weren't putting the collections in eBook format. Not sure what else to recommend then, as most of my library comes from what I can find at second-hand book stores.

@jimsalter I think we need to stop referring to the AI model in stories like this, and instead start saying the CEOs name.

"Sam Altman convinced teen to overdose on hard drugs" has a better ring to it.

@mathew Isaac Asimov is known mostly for his novels, but he wrote an impressive number of short stories as well. Arthur C Clarke also has some interesting short fiction.

@nyanbinary @cR0w I was discussing the Instructure hack with a friend who works for a school district and he stated that almost exactly. I told him that yes, that makes sense if we believe they care about "organization reputation" in the same economic incentive driven context as a regular business. Which I highly doubt. But let's assume they do follow this logic.

What keeps them from selling a copy quietly to another criminal and then THAT criminal actions the data somewhere else without directly saying "Instructure". TAs double dip and keep their "reputation" intact.

@cR0w I'll never understand this logic. "How do you know the morally bankrupt cybercriminals actually got rid of your data?"

"They gave us a receipt."

Yeah...sure...

@Em0nM4stodon Don't say that too loud or someone will suggest an AI to "help you" write.
