I’ve held back for now everytime i saw people referencing to @eicker@lemmy.world as a bot, but in all fairness i have the urge to speak up.

I do not care very much about this if the content is genuine and the comment is not asinine. Even if they generate their comments, they will reflect what they wanted to say in general, and the content itself is fine.

I do care if it involves generated videos (which is an absolute waste of ressources) or if the linked content is BS.

Generally speaking, RAM and RAM performance is one of the most important characteristics of any server that is actually being used. Processing power (single-threaded/multi-threaded depending on application) is the most important, but without the RAM to handle it, it becomes nearly useless.

I for my part have started to be on the lookout for auctioned off cheap PC hardware to build up a spare part depot. I’d rather go back to MS-DOS gaming before I rent a single CPU cycle from these people.

Client side code is the only code you can have control over.

I think he spoke with ChatGPT too much. It really seems to be unhealthy to do that, especially when you already have delusions of grandeur.

The engineers over at Google seemingly don’t give a fuck? I think a bug that effectively prevents a potential victim from calling for help should have higher priority, and most countries see it the same way, this is not a wise choice.

No sweat, they will rehire her a few towns over.

Yes, it reduces burden of debt, but it makes taking on new debt a lot more expensive, because interest rates are closely related to inflation.

And if you have to pay back a debt (as you normally have to after a predetermined time), and have to refinance it by taking up new debt, now you might not be able to pay the now higher interest.

So for the one who pays off his credit card debt, inflation is a good thing. For the company that used that credit to invest in something that will only bring revenue at a future point in time, this is a real fucking problem (this is what is happening in Russia currently btw. Bankruptcies are skyrocketing there because of the high inflation and the even higher interest rate - and stalling domestic spending - , and that rate is being artificially kept “low” to boot. There has been an intense power struggle between the russian central bank and the Kremlin this year. Look up Elvira Nabiullina’s “disappearance” this June)

Nvidia is the guy selling pickaxes to the gold diggers. This enriches only the guys with land that actually has gold (like 3-letter agencies and the military) and the guy selling pickaxes.

If the reward isn’t money, it is control. This technology can automatically flag any public dissent, every unwelcome transaction, and with Flock & Co even where you go and who you might meet (outside of the fuckton of telemetry cars come with nowadays, but it’s harder for 3-letter agencies to get their hands on that data)

In the beginning, it was about money. They realized that this is probably not gonna happen since human labor is cheap. But for control, this stuff is epic. And in this use case, who the fuck cares about a hallucination or two? Being able to analyze the online presence of billions of people based on INTENT and not simply keywords is worth fucking gold for them.

You sure? The script to do all of this automatically can be written by everyone in a few minutes, and teenagers do dumb shit every day on a large scale.

Yes, that’s why even if it’s unprofitable, the military and 3-letter-agencies around the world will keep using them - here the motivation isn’t money at all.

Might be, but the needed level of sophistication for this “hack” was actually “none at all”. This could just be a bad prank by bored teenagers who discovered the laughable security implementation.

Plus hooking these systems to the public internet. Noone prevented these fuckwits from isolating these systems properly outside of “we do not give a fuck” or “VPNs are arcane magic for me”

Yeah, this is such basic stuff. This wasn’t “a large hack”, it is a case of “the network guys there are hacks”.

The real problem for the large scale implementation of LLMs is: Even at the current, heavily subsidized pricing they do cost more than an average worker for low-impact tasks while having a worse failure rate. And while an LLM might cost a bit less in comparison to workers for high-impact tasks requiring specific education (which will not be true if AI corpos want to become cashflow positive), in this area you cannot accept hallucinations and misinformation at all because of the damage caused.

Outsourcing works because the jobs that were outsourced cost less, while still having a “human” error rate and type of failure (blatantly lying is a rare thing. They might sometimes get things wrong, but they are not actively misinforming). But here all bets are off - you can’t trust these things to handle things on their own, you always need someone to watch over them (and qualified to identify mistakes to boot!), which drives cost even more.

Recording audio needs minimal battery and storage - if you configure it to transcribe into text and transfer the payload every time these things are at the charger, you will never notice any battery drain, only a minimally increased charge time (which you won’t notice since they did this from the beginning i assume)

Yep. If you run software of any kind, and the software commits a crime, it’s not the software that is liable. This is such an easy thing judicially, all this fucking around is politically motivated. If anyone else had exploited vulnerabilities in computer systems, they would already breathe sieved air. The same should happen to the execs at OpenAI and Anthropic.

Emotionally i am at this stage:

More! MORE! KEEP FIRING!!!

A/I have years of experience with repression, i am pretty sure that encryption was one of the most important factors for them.
