Living their best life, apparently.

1. You will live, consciously aware, for eternity.
2. Your consciousness will be bound to the body which consumes the elixir.
3. The body will continue to age and decompose normally.

Oh good, the Dutch police are investigating themselves.

Is that… is that… Meowron?

Congratulations, you’ve just reinvented the Electoral College!

No, we’re talking about companies scraping hundreds of millions if not billions of labor hours of output to train their models for the sake of developing software products which they then sell for profit.

Every model that was trained on legally acquired free public data and open source code should be freely publicly available and open source.

Every model that was trained on not legally acquired public data (e.g. Meta’s models) should be taken out of production until all of the lawsuits are concluded, and hopefully the parties responsible are put out of business.

I’m not talking about future, potential labor that AI might replace. I’m talking about the labor which was stolen to produce these models in the first place.

But, please use AI.

Please identify the issues with the LLM generated code.

Why would the issues be obvious and easy to point out? Most issues with code aren’t. If they were, we wouldn’t have Patch Tuesday, a direct code review would prevent issues from shipping in the first place.

Throwing this out as if it means LLM code is acceptable and ends the argument is ridiculous. Do you have any grasp of how software vulnerabilities are discovered at all?

There are serious and skilled people out there who use LLMs responsibly.

There is no “responsible use” for a platform built on the largest form of labor theft ever devised.

You must accept the mountain of garbage, because the mountain has grown so very high, and we can’t figure out how to shut down the garbage generator. We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas. Just learn to live in garbage.

Only American?

Seems like any foreign interest in a nation’s media sources would be an issue.

Telnet is basically the predecessor to SSH for terminal-over-network communications:

It is a protocol for bidirectional 8-bit communications. Its main goal was to connect terminal devices and terminal-oriented processes.

At this point, it is archaic network technology:

Telnet was originally developed for ARPANET in 1969.

It was developed in a time when only very specific organizations with lots of funding had access to computer networking. The Mother of All Demos had happened only the year prior. The first version of the Internet Protocol used today would not come until 1973.

There was no concern that unauthorized parties might eavesdrop on the communications between networked computers. Also, at this time there were no functional computer networks that extended beyond local sites. The first ARPANET nodes would not start communicating with each other until 1970:

The first four nodes were designated as a testbed for developing and debugging the 1822 protocol, which was a major undertaking. While they were connected electronically in 1969, network applications were not possible until the Network Control Program was implemented in 1970 enabling the first two host-host protocols, remote login (Telnet) and file transfer (FTP) which were specified and implemented between 1969 and 1973.

There weren’t interstate or international network connections, or public routing architecture or DNS or anything like that.

So basically, everyone who could possibly access your computer network would have to be on site, and probably in the room with the (very classified) government research computers. At this point you could count the number of people who really understood computer networking technology (globally) on your fingers and toes. If you happened to be working in this field, you could probably name offhand all of the people who understood enough about the technology that could possibly pull off a vulnerability exploit against Telnet, and you very likely knew them personally. Cybersecurity wasn’t a thing that anyone was worrying about yet.

All of the security features that have been added to Telnet are afterthoughts, bolted on to the original system. It was never designed for the public Internet that we have today. And yet… there is still legacy technology out there that uses Telnet for remote access and administration, some of it in critical infrastructure like power grids and water systems.

Ultimately, my point is that it’s very very difficult to eliminate communications technologies once any kind of industrial, commercial or government activity starts to use them for regular business. It’s one of Microsoft’s biggest problems with the products that they have been selling to various enterprises since the 90s (Windows Desktop, Windows Server, Active Directory, Word, Excel, etc) - they’re forced to maintain compatibility with legacy stuff even when they know without a doubt that it creates major security problems, because there are too many organizations dependent on that software. The Internet is like this now, and the people who were part of its foundation are dying off.

And China just sits and watches the two nations it’s been manipulating burn out their capabilities in pointless conflicts.

They’re making a comparison with the weird cultish hero worship around Trump.

“Hey I’ve been turned into a cow… can I go home?”

Hooray for standards!

there are too many standards.
