I can't even fathom how mods now handle all this. I was a mod for one of the top subreddits and it was hard back then, a few years before LLMs, and I only had to deal with URL submissions, not comments.

I also help moderate a forum and I noticed the spike in new user signups for spamming has sharply risen over the last two years or so. The majority are most likely using LLMs to automate this. So now we put new registered users into a shadow account where they can post and interact, but it's only visible to them and no one else on the forum for a probation period. It seems to work for now.

AI token subsidies seem to be ending across the industry.

It looks like the original PDF linked, https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/53566bf5440a10affd749724787c89... is 404.

I do see these:

Here are the steps:

- Enable developer options by tapping the software build number in About Phone seven times

- In Settings \> System, open Developer Options and scroll down to "Allow Unverified Packages."

- Flip the toggle and tap to confirm you are not being coerced

- Enter device unlock code

- Restart your device

- Wait 24 hours

- Return to the unverified packages menu at the end of the security delay

- Scroll past additional warnings and select either "Allow temporarily" (seven days) or "Allow indefinitely."

- Check the box confirming you understand the risks.

- You can now install unverified packages on the device by tapping the "Install anyway" option in the package manager.

Requiring readers to log in to view content doesn't really work. Some will register so that they can use the account to crawl. Some won't even care if they are requesting hundreds of URLs a minute. Sure, that sets off alarms, but it's a game of whack-a-mole again.

Same here, I use it once every year or so. I get AI slop when I log in that is mostly like this blog post.

My wife, who uses it maybe once or twice a month, does not AI slop, she showed me her feed. Nor does my friend who uses it daily. It's definitely based on usage or lack of usage.

I wish the "pause CF" button would work via API or via any other way, even if there is an outage like this.

I have a similar username on a "social media" site as the founder's username. I would get hateful personal messages, requests for favors, begging for money, etc., constantly. At first I would respond to correct people, but after years and years I stopped. I just disable notifications for that site and never read my mailbox, personal messages, etc. This has been going on for about 19 years now.

The fact that they put their AWS secret keys on their website is incredible.

These tokens allowed full access to the Azure AD Graph API in any tenant. Requesting Actor tokens does not generate logs. Even if it did they would be generated in my tenant instead of in the victim tenant, which means there is no record of the existence of these tokens.

Wow! No logs.

I wonder how Microsoft would notify affected tenants.

I get legitimate calls from my health insurance company. When they call, they are not allowed to say the company they call from, it's a HIPAA thing. Once I say the name of the health insurance company, they will confirm it. It's weird, but it's the way it is now.

I was going to say, you can use alternatives, and they will show you what's blurred or has changed.

Don't forget the PTR record.

And renting the Internet access.

Curious. Do you use the bank's website via a browser from a computer? What about in-person banking? Do you go to the bank?

I don't see how giving away stuff is a good business plan. I guess they gave it all away and are now forced to close.

I cancelled my subscription as well because of the opt-in by default.

We document the extent to which workers in AI-exposed occupations can successfully retrain for AI-intensive work. We assemble a new workforce development dataset spanning over 1.6 million job training participation spells from all US Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act programs from 2012–2023 linked with occupational measures of AI exposure. Using earnings records observed before and after training, we compare high AI exposure trainees to a matched sample of similar workers who only received job search assistance. We find that AI-exposed workers have high earnings returns from training that are only 25% lower than the returns for low AI exposure workers. However, training participants who target AI-intensive occupations face a penalty for doing so, with 29% lower returns than AI-exposed workers pursuing more general training. We estimate that between 25% to 40% of occupations are “AI retrainable” as measured by its workers receiving higher pay for moving to more AI-intensive occupations—a large magnitude given the relatively low-income sample of displaced workers. Positive earnings returns in all groups are driven by the most recent years when labor markets were tightest, suggesting training programs may have stronger signal value when firms reach deeper into the skill market.

In my experience managing a number of IPv6-only sites for clients, they still get crawled and abused, and this goes back years. If anything, it has gotten worse now with all the LLM/AI nonsense.

Is that $2k/$3k for the year?

This, but instead of a microwave, a pressure cooker, one of those new electric ones. I love mine and use it daily.

This goes deep into the details on why silencers are still very loud due to mechanical noise, the sonic boom of the bullet, and muzzle blast.
