Everyone on this part of the Internet has their opinions about #AIML and to what extent we must either harness its power or kill it with fire and I sure have mine. But add this one to the "That'll do clunker, that'll do" column: based on a hunch and some exploratory rounds with he-who-speaks-in-sonnets I was able to contribute a new vector of #secret #leakage #detection. Was it trivial? Yep. Did it take a bunch of complex chained steps? Nope. Go ahead and lust after #Mythos but know that all it takes is a model you can run locally on a Mac mini, open eyes and moderately tuned spidey-senses to make a difference 🛡️

LLMs have truly ruined reading books from certain eras. My latest example: The Book of the Damned by Charles Fort. First few pages I kept getting bumped by the variety of period-accurate dashes as somewhere in the back of my head I kept going "They really could've done a sweep for all this AI sloptritus..." Anyway, back to mothmen and fish raining from the skies and whatnot 🥴

I should’ve known better, honestly. #Jira

TIL how Vite obfuscates secrets into asset bundles and boy do I wish I never saw 😵

I don't know how to convince Siri of the fact that I almost always, bordering on _exclusively_, mean to type “and” vs. "ABs”—which at face value, yeah, I realize a normal person must use those two interchangeably. But let me think different.

Someone explain to me what the UK.gov ETA iOS app attempts to do for the "Are you a live person" facial recognition step? It tries twice with some weird 1-bit face rendering and then decides to skip the step entirely. Okay, cool 👌
