Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
just about a month since we had the LLM security thread, and now thereās some more hilaribad coming out at blackhat
wow, remember when a bunch of random posters came to that security thread to try and gaslight us into thinking the very similar attack described in @dgerard@awful.systemsās blog post wasnāt a security vulnerability? and now itās a Black Hat talk, aka āyou fucked up and now the world knows about itā
holy fuck thatās damning. LLMs are so worthless on their own that they canāt do anything unless youāve got everything hooked up to RAG, which is just a wide-open API with access to all your data.
rootkits as a service
what if we simply took the output of the easily manipulated word salad generator and parsed it into instructions for the computers that are in charge of all our communication to follow
