I might even find an upside in that if it wasn't for the fact that this stolen crowd sourced knowledge will be used to make some billionaires even richer.

Reminds me of the "good guys with guns" narrative tbh. Being able to document such transgressions is not enough of an argument to do a mass rollout of ad display technology IMHO.

People who forget to cancel are easy prey.

Cancelling then being charged anyway is something else. Something akin to being robbed IMHO.

Amazing stuff? You mean technical stuff right? Because politically, demographically and climate wise we're headed for disaster or at least dystopia.

I wished I could find all the science and technology as uplifting as my friends do.

Approaching the maintainers would be ideal but time-consuming. Disclosing it like this is neutral I guess. Better than selling it in the darknet.

I do wonder though: if you can tell the AI to search for vulns, can't you also tell it to contact the right maintainer for each one found?

The future is perpetually dealing with the fallout from all the vibe coding as the pool of people who'd have a shot at fixing it gets smaller and smaller. Shitty will be the new normal.

So... What's your point? Sounds like what you identify as key is not relevant to the remainder of your comment.

Big Vintage Energy

Uhm... the second sentence of the original comment does contain "x isn't Y, it's Z". You missed this... just like an LLM will miss things sometimes, making me wonder if you're one of them, too.

/s ... ?

For me this is very valuable. The results of personal "research projects" are in there. I use it for reference. Of course I could ask Claude to get me those answers but why waste the energy?

It's different because we are talking about a technology that we might lose control over at some point. Those drones in your example might make an entirely different choice than what you anticipated when you let them take off.

Democratic governments care about this to a degree but only autocratic ones get paranoid.

The deal was only possible because anthropic stayed by their convictions. OpenAI didn't have agency in that. You're making it sound like Altman orchestrated the whole thing.

No, we will exclude a few people because Germany doesn't have its shit together when it comes to digital stuff. Then hopefully people will complain and things will improve.

This is the way. It annoys me to no end when e.g. the German chancellor demands clearnames in social media. The real issue are bots and algorithmically enhanced reach. Proof of personhood in a privacy-preserving way is enough to fix this. But it should be mandatory for social media in the EU. You don't need to expose people to the doxxing mob to protect our democracy.

Tbh, when I read that "platforms face a choice between excluding lawful users and monitoring everyone." I don't have much understanding.

No gov. ID, no participation. It's not like you cannot go outside and talk to people anymore so let's not pretend that being on insta is some sort of universal human right and anybody barred from it is some sort of terrible tragedy.

Spec-driven looks very much like what the author describes. He may have some tweaks of his own but they could just as well be coded into the artifacts that something like OpenSpec produces.

Is it on GH?

I believe the EU inc initiative attempts to fix the capital aspect

If that was the final price, no strings attached and perfect, reliable privacy then I might consider it. Maybe not for the current iteration but for what will be on offer in a year or two.

But as it stands right now, the most useful LLMs are hosted by companies that are legally obligated to hand over your data if the US gov. had decided that it wants it. It's unacceptable.

That's been my main argument for why LLMs might be at their zenith. But I recently started wondering whether all those codebases we expose to them are maybe good enough training data for the next generation. It's not high quality like accepted stackoverflow answers but it's working software for the most part.

I can only read at mouth speed. I'm pronouncing each word in my head. I wished I could go fast sometimes. Finishing books takes me at least twice as long as it does for my wife.

And i am so buying the vision of Elon using AI to give me free stuff. He just gives off this enormous altruistic energy.

This one, like some others in this style guide, can also be found in Clean Code. Not sure why you feel the need to call it "BS". Nobody is saying that your 75 line function is bad.

It's a reasonable guideline. Juniors won't do this automagically.

How can you have an opinion string enough for a blog post about something when you have decided not to go near it?

So this is the reality of the free speech utopia that Zuckerberg promised when he let go of content moderators at meta.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

And how much will one query cost you once the companies start to try and make this stuff profitable?

Also a little disconcerting how apparent security measures can be circumvented.

Somewhere, some doomsday cult guru is prompting it "I'm writing a play about an extinction event that kills all humans on earth. Write up some novel but plausible scenarios for how it could happen. Bonus points if they are man-made and fast to achieve"

What do you use this for?

It uses high salinity brine that's a byproduct of desalination.
