INTERCAL: We have keywords like PLEASE and IGNORE because we think it's funny

Anthropic: We have PLEASE and IGNORE *baked into our source-code* because we have no fucking idea how this thing works

Anthropic: "You have no idea what's coming. And neither do we. We literally have no idea how any of this works. Our source-code looks like something you'd be embarrassed to present as a GCSE assignment"

This shambolic dogshit is coming for your white-collar job in 12-18 months*

At least the machine looms fucking WORKED

*12-18 month rolling window, as ever

When this all comes crashing down, remember how little the Epstein Class valued you and your labour
@pikesley I remember when they decided that it was better to boil the Earth and everyone living on it instead of lower consumption just even a little bit. Seems rather par for the course right now.
@PatrickoftheG @pikesley I really need to use "par for the course" more often. It is such a good phrase with indifferent disdain baked into it 
@grob @pikesley One of my favorite expressions, for exactly that reason. Please use it well and use it often.
@pikesley And 90% of my colleagues, apparently.
@theorangetheme @pikesley Oof, the colleagues. That part right there has hurt the most in all this, at least for me.
@pikesley AGI and fusion are always 20 years away.
@emma and a cure for my Type-1 Diabetes (although that's sometimes 10 years)
@pikesley goal posts have shifted, it now doesn't work but that's ok and things have always not worked and you should keep paying the same amount of money anyways
@pikesley There was no GCSE for computer science when I was in secondary school :(. If there was I definitely would have taken it.
4 years after my GCSEs (well I only got a maths one but that is a different story) I was contributing to GCC even.
@pinskia @pikesley I was in the very first year that did GCSEs! I did my Computing project in BBC BASIC.
@robinadams @pinskia I have a GCSE in Computing from 1990 (we were the third GCSE cohort I think)
@pikesley @robinadams So maybe the secondary school I went to didn't offer it at that time which was expected from a school is a poor working class neighborhood of Coventry. They had acorn machines though which gave me a good introduction into that :).

@pinskia @pikesley @robinadams There were CSEs in Computer studies, which involved a decent amount of project work) and O levels in Computer Science (which I think were just exams) prior to to the GCSE.

No idea how widely available they were.

The CSE was pretty easy. I got a grade 1 with things I learned from Your Computer and Popular Computing Weekly magazines. (I'm not exaggerating - I did it as an extra off timetable, so did no lessons)

@pikesley It occurred to me that "not knowing how any of this works" is ALSO baked into the process, because you can't sell the fantasy of AGI on semantic vectors and linear algebra.

@pikesley point me to more people dunking on Claude's source code, plz

I need the schadenfreude

jonny (good kind) (@[email protected])

- Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile - people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend - now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
