We are social animals and our brains fine-tune to pick up the thoughts behind what people are saying or writing or making. When we learn this, we can start trusting them.
That is why AI generated speech/text/images are boring and ultimately disgusting. There is no mind, no will, no desire.
We cannot learn about it (or its user). It is everything for everyone with a switch of a context buffer.
Realizing that, it‘s just annoying. The people who use it are annoying. And we feel disrespected.
Pete Hegseth Questions What Girls Were Doing In School To Begin With
WASHINGTON—Saying critics of the missile strike that killed at least 175 civilians were dodging a fundamental question, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday demanded to know what girls were doing attending school to begin with. “In all this talk about who was responsible and how this happened, are we just going to ignore t…

@ludicity For the record, I work at a software company that employs ~10k developers.
Before LLMs, I'd encounter such engineers a couple of times a month, but I interact with a lot of engineers, specifically the ones that need help or are new at the company or industry at large, so it's a selected sample. Even the most inexperienced ones are willing and able to learn with some guidance.
After LLMs, there's been a significant uptick, and these new ones are grossly incompetent, incurious, impatient, and behave like addicts if their supply of tokens is at all interrupted. If they run out of prompt credits, its an emergency because they claim they can't do any work at all. They can't even explain the architecture of what they are making anymore, and can't even file tickets or send emails without an LLM writing it for them, and they certainly lack in any kind of reading comprehension.
It's bleak and depressing, and makes me want to quit the industry altogether.
Today in InfoSec Job Security News:
I was looking into an obvious ../.. vulnerability introduced into a major web framework today, and it was committed by username Claude on GitHub. Vibe coded, basically.
So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month.

As I looked through the code I saw the same class of vulns being introduced over, and over, again - several a minute.
Let's do this.
Let's learn and grow. New things are cool!Links 'n' stuff down below. Lots of links.First, the "clean version." Please pass that around.https://youtu.be/Zgxb...
Die AfD-Fraktion im Bayerischen Landtag verschärft ihren Kurs: Zum Abschluss ihrer Klausurtagung in Oberbayern forderte sie eine Sonderpolizei zur schnelleren Aufgreifung und Abschiebung von ausreisepflichtigen Zuwanderern – nach dem Vorbild der USA.
