Teaching and creating cyber-security for postgrad at Edith Cowan University. Love retro tech and have a real nostalgia for 80s/90s computing and telecommunications.

I'm a total sucker for retro tech, 90s movies, geeky & Macguyver projects, cryptography, cyber security, new and emerging technology.

Passion for helping postgrad and research students (have worked with many postgrad project students).

Twitter refugee, finally activating my dormant mastodon. Already enjoying the vibe here more!

DM and @ welcome - bring it on!

We mocked this advert relentlessly whenever we head about some new invention or revolutionary design, we'd ask "but, does it have takeaway food hooks?"

Then one day, may years later, we bought a car with takeaway food hooks... I retract my mocking.

The 2001 advert for the 'new Nissan Pulsar' was marketing GOLD!

So revolutionary was this car, that the ONLY two call out features in the advert were:

  • Sunglasses holder
  • Takeaway food hooks.

    I'm glad to be getting the finest legal advice! Maybe this is what I deserve?

    (Disclaimer: I don't actually begrudge this lawyer, as long as they thoroughly verify the output and can vouch for it as a human. But.... it does make me wonder whether it's good value).

    Another very brief test of the new LLM vs. Human provenance tool. It's very early, only tested on highly specific data but it does detect a signal.

    Current very limited test works best with "answer" style text...

    Do not use this for anything serious! It's a toy at the moment!

    Please have a play but this link will be taken down! Please don't abuse it, it's just my personal project at this stage.

    Ok.. Having filed the provisional patent, I have genuinely tried to REDUCE the 'signal' from my LLM vs. Human provenance discriminator. I even tried rebuilding ALL of the data collection tool-chain and using only the tiniest of lightweight linear classifiers. No matter what I do the signal persists - this is from a set of data using a different scraper, from different sites, with a different set of LLM generators, with NO prompts (just responding to the sample text).. But the signal remains...

    Help me Masto maestros!
    In the last few days I’ve been microblogging here as I’ve progress my research. But I think I’ve made a mess of threading and quoting and replying. Is there a “best way” guide or post any of yoh can link me?
    Advices welcome? #mastodon #blogging
