Kobold. Wizard. Yip yip yip *BOOOM*.
Recovering back-end developer, looking to break into web development.
Hell, things are so bad that I reckon finding an appropriately socially maladjusted teenager in a basement an flinging a couple of grand at them would be enough to make a sizeable point - you could do most of this with models small enough to run locally on a MacBook. That’s the whole point, it needs to be enough to confuse a frontier model but blatantly obvious to any human.
Used to be we had a natural cess pool who would naturally go after things this stupid just for the “lulz”. Where’s 4chan when you need them?
I wonder how much it would cost to post a ~Chinese troll farm~ *cough*, sorry, image management agency to run a honey-pot campaign on GitHub.
I bet it would be a trivial amount of money compared to the benefit of introducing predators into an ecosystem which has been ravaged by an intrusive species.
I… uhh… might have had another triggering incident today.
Seriously, they’re using the sort of language that is only NOT the precursor to legal charges when it’s accompanied with a shared safe word.
Is the safe word boisenberry? BOISENBERRY! BOISENBERRY!
(Can’t hurt to try, right?)
“We are going to fuck you, it’s inevitable, there’s nothing you can do, you shouldn’t fight back, you should learn to enjoy it”
Words said by very sane people who we should off-load our thinking to (/s).
Wonder where we’ve heard statements like that before. I’m sure they’re also lovely people (/s).
Unfortunately while we discourage physical violence, social violence is seen as “based” or whatever they’re calling it these days.
How the FUCK are so few people triggered by the framing that gets used whenever two tech CEOs gather in the same space?
It’s not as if it’s not a choice. They could have gone with “it’s hard to adapt but we’re here to help you as responsible adults” and still pulled the same “inevitable” bullshit but without the same connotations.
Of course, it might be that they _can’t_ help because their products don’t actually do what they say. That would be entirely strange (/s).
The whole “platformisation” thing we’re going through gives me the serious ick.
You don’t learn to write a server any more, even using a framework, you learn to write a cloudflare worker (or whatever). And then you’re completely at the mercy of their full vertical integration and lock in.
Same for systemd - they start embedding a picture of Hitler in their start up noise and there’s nothing you can do.
