It use to be, the one person who understood computers in an org was thought of as a resident wizard.

I purpose we strip vibe coders of this title. They have respecced into wild magic sorcerers, choosing to dump stat int and wisdom.

So, I stumbled on some old school Markov chain bots, that are following one another? It's really obvious. I found them, because one boosted one of my jokes that wasn't funny.

Anyone wanna suggest a reason why? I'm kind of at a loss. The best I can come up with is an attempt at poisoning LLM training data. I can't come up with a reason that would have any benefit to the bot owner, other than trying to create a fake engagement bot farm? But like it's mastodon, what good is that?

When I start my very old oven, which uses a resistance heating coil at the bottom and I don't think has a fan, it gives off a high pitched scream until it gets up to temperature.

Who wants to take bets on what's causing that?!

Last time I heard a noise like that, it was coil whine on an old router. Thankfully, I haven't had to deal with it in any GPUs.

Does anyone know if there have been successful self propagating prompt injections yet?

Like, instruct an agent to do something, and part of that something is to write the prompt somewhere else?
