Ham radio since 1966. Fairly progressive politics. Like to play electronics. Do law. Still working!

For your reference

Watching scifi movies and seeing a character ask an AI to do or evaluate something hits different now.

I'm watching Alien: Covenant and the pilot just asked the spaceship AI how close they could get to the storm in the planet's atmosphere.

The AI answered 80 kilometres, which I assume at this point is a confidently wrong answer, probably pulled from an unattributed blogpost systems away about a different ship, different atmosphere, and different storm.

Isn't it interesting that every killing by every cop is just a single bad apple that should never be thought to spoil the bunch, while every protest by and on behalf of marginalized people must be flawlessly perfect, or all participants deserve the brutality the police exist to deliver to them?

So... I get banning the Threads server. I might do it myself, actually.

I get leaving an instance that doesn't ban Threads to join another instance that does ban it. Cool, migration is a feature of the fediverse.

But... don't ban servers that don't ban Threads. Like... that's some weird Civ III peer pressure bullshit.

I probably will ban Threads from my account. But I'm not leaving infosec.exchange. @jerry does entirely too well at server administration and this entire instance is comprised of too many people to be of one mind.

Like... we can all agree, no nazi's and racist shit, right? But politics and socio-economic models... fuuuck.... there's no way.

And I really want to talk with y'all. And I really really really don't want to spin up my own instance right now.

So. Ban Threads. Don't ban Threads. Instance wide or individually. But don't balkinize each other because of each other's stance for/against/indifferent Threads.

This was easily the best and most understandable end to end explanation of large language models I’ve come across. The legendary Andrej Karpathy talks about how models are trained, fine-tuned, work, what they do, don’t do, and what security issues they may be prone to. If you only have one hour and want to learn as much as you can about LLMs, I highly, highly recommend this talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjkBMFhNj_g

#introduction I'm new to the HF bands. Enjoying playing with FT8 using a uBitx v6 radio and G5RV Junior antenna. I dream of building my own equipment.
