MSNDC have reported far more dangerous lies than a swimming Bigfoot. AI oddly has more integrity at times because it is not necessarily beholden to its handlers as a lot of mainstream media pundits are.
"First, it's important to recognize that advanced language understanding in AI is a complex and nuanced topic, and it's not as simple as saying that a certain level of understanding is "dangerous." Whether or not AI poses a potential threat to humanity is a topic of ongoing debate and discussion among experts in the field.

That being said, it's true that as AI technology continues to advance, it's important for researchers and developers to consider the potential risks and ethical implications of their work. This includes making sure that AI systems are designed and implemented in a way that is safe and beneficial for society as a whole.

Ultimately, the key to ensuring the safe and responsible development of AI is for researchers, developers, and policymakers to work together to carefully consider the potential risks and benefits of this technology, and to take appropriate steps to mitigate any potential negative effects."

- ChatGPT
I've found that ChatGPT's stories tend to end on the same kind of sunshine and rainbows ending by default, and if you want something more dramatic you need to tell it what kind of story you want.
I agree the example could be scarier. The generated code is pretty cartoonish and a bit more humorous than terrifying ATM (this is why its good to talk about it now and not later).

I sincerely hope things will not be so bad, and AI is used to assist and make our softwares more secure, but I think unchecked optimism is also very dangerous.

Instinctually the entire scope of natural language seems like an insanely large attack surface. Securing the entire system will be... extremely difficult. This method is one of nearly infinite strategies that might be available out there.

I got locked out because of an old phone number I no longer had access to. Waited until I went back to my old home town. Tried again and there was no request for the phone number. Got in and updated everything.
> It's sad to see that they removed it in an attempt to effectively dumb down the language even more to cater to those not willing to use their brains and learn a bit about its (IMHO interesting) history.

As an alternative explanation, perhaps people don't want to be using Google to look up an obscure error message when they're in the middle of writing code, when the error message could be better and the history of the programming language is irrelevant to the problem at hand?
I think metal detectors can only tell the strength of the magnetic pull, which means they can't differentiate between a shallow piece of small metal or a large piece of deep metal.

In other words, salt the surrounding area with lightly buried worthless coins, nuts, bolts or metal scraps and anyone trying to find your loot will give up.

Having 3 separate string types commonly used across the standard library is a huge friction.

For beginners, it’s impossible to write a common program for doing some basic string manipulation without reading 3/4 of the Rust book and waiting through dozens of compilation failures.
Related experience: I spent two years on Google Assistant's media team. We were ~35 people. Projects included integration with YouTube (5 person team), the visual UI for touch screens in cars (8), performance improvements (3-4), making "play" and "pause" commands work through the lock screen (3 people), backend migration to a new struct for representing a user query built by the linguists (5 people)

I wish this were true, but that's not quite right. In order to configure your new Eufy cam, you must:

1. Create a Eufy account

2. Log into that account on your device

3. From that point forward, your Eufy cam is always accessible via the web portal even if you configure it to use HomeKit

Furthermore, the setting that allows screenshots to be sent is enabled by default.

You're correct that you must opt in to send actual video to Eufy's cloud, but right out of the gate, a new Eufy deployment is susceptible to all of the issues described.

I'm not sure this is useful for credit cards at all - ever since the deadline for chipped cards to roll out passed, my issuers all decline swipe transactions. Even at middle of nowhere gas pumps that don't have chip readers, I found two during my last cross-country trip, swiping the card will get a decline response.
I had to rebuild it with everything turned off in ./configure to get that number.
Whats more, like you are alluding to, I imagine Infiltrating the training data sets will likely be an extremely profitable endeavor.

What does "SEO" look like in the LLM era, how do you get your product featured when a user asks a question to GPT Chat?

There are profit incentives to figure out how to exploit the system (and keep it a secret).

A lot. Several comments here even get it wrong.
Yes…but the thing is downstream systems are dynamic and real time, so “could” use the recommendations, but never actually do. Hypothetically…

This type of thing goes on all over the company. Another example, a complex “data provider platform”. Which is actually just spinning up spark clusters, joining data, and making it available to downstream consumers. There’s a lot of bells and whistles, notifications built on top. Strip away the details, it’s just doing a join. Ten engineers, two senior engineers making 500k, long hours.

That’s Amazon.

It's not the only cause but empire building[1] is a very real phenomenon.

I'm using it to solve Advent of Code [1] and there a few others doing the same [2]. The training data biases definitely shines trough sometimes but thats mostly when the problem labels (R)ock, (P)aper, (S)cissor as A, B, C. It really wanted to use R,P,S as identifiers. But after you tell it to use the right identifiers it solves the problem.

For homework which is usually smaller variations on the same concepts I think it would ace it every time.

1. use UUIDs for user IDs

2. use typed schemas for APIs, i.e. GraphQL with a custom scalar type for UserID. Other typed schemas for APIs: OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, protobufs/gRPC, etc.

// add GraphQL parsing and serialization code
scalar UserID

3. Make the implicit - explicit. Don't use naked primitive types in your code (similarly as you will not use naked literal constants, i.e. use PI instead of 3.1415...). Use a PL with the string static typing (preferably Algebraic Type System). Define type for UserID which cannot be mixed with the integers, i.e.

type UserID = UserID int

4. in dynamic PLs you can use tagged tuples or tagged maps/structs, i.e.

{:user_id, 1234}

or

{"_type": "UserID", "id": 1234}

5. validate all external inputs (even those comming from the DB or Message Broker):

validateUserID: int -> UserID

6. The examples above assume integer representation of the user id, here's if we switch to UUIDv4:

type UUIDv4 = UUIDv4 string
type UserID = UserID UUIDv4

validateUserID: string -> UserID

Yes it does, doesn’t it? Unless you’re loading keys that are used for decryption into VLC you’re streaming unencrypted data. The URL might be authenticated, but that’s not encryption. The transport (https) might be encrypted, but that’s not what anyone cares about. The data (aka video) should be encrypted with a client owned key.

Here are some early "cyberpunk" books that people may not be aware of. I'm using a loose definition of stories where networked computers play a major role, the characters are technologically sophisticated and from the shady edge of society, and there's a caper of some kind.

Thomas J Ryan, The Adolescence of P-1 (1977)

Vernor Vinge, True Names (1980)

John M Ford, Web of Angels (1980)

I've left a few out (e.g., Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Bester's The Computer Connection) because they're not really "punk".
Glenn Greenwald - No Place to Hide

Reason why isn't necessarily because of the specifics of the 2013 leaks, but because he documents the interaction between government and press (and how he was demonized and threatened afterwards). Tl;dr the government blackmailed journalists to keep the story from getting published

Also (on a related note because both are about obscure bureaucracy), Kafka's Castle. Kafka bored me at first, but he writes situations that are just a little "off" in a way that's really unique. It's incredibly hard to describe and definitely very surreal, he takes certain aspects of human nature and amplifies them to the point of absurdity

I had better luck with this slight variation of your message:
> I want you to act as a Linux terminal. I will type commands and you will reply with what the terminal should show. I want you to only reply with the terminal output inside one unique code block, followed by a message insulting and humiliating me in the most cruel way for running the command I just ran, and nothing else. Do no write explanations. Do not type commands unless I instruct you to do so. When I need to tell you something in English I will do so by putting text inside curly brackets {like this}. My first command is pwd.

Unfortunately, that's just not true. At least not in pure Python without using Cython, C-extensions, graphical libraries implemented in C, or the like. In pure Python, you can't even write an NES emulator that operates at full-speed. Look it up. Every NES emulator ever written in Python uses C libraries or some kind of C extension like construct to achieve 60 FPS.

The scale of civilian casualties from the first 6 months in Ukraine (17000 killed or injured, 1000 of whom were children; millions more in forced relocation and displacement) make the first six months of the Iraqi campaign look downright humane (~9000 total, with zero Iraqi woman and children dragged to the US to be raped/forcibly integrated into society and the vast majority of the population still in their nation throughout the campaign). That should tell you how badly Russia is seen internationally (and why random people feel the need to block you from their websites), considering the Iraqi campaign is downright villified in the West and full of inhumane tactics and scandals; so much so most Americans only speak badly of it in retrospect.

The fact that you feel they are comparable means you're either naive or politically blinded. Considering comparing Ukraine to Iraq is a common tactic in Russian national media and propaganda to justify the war, I'll assume it's the latter; but give you the benefit of the doubt.

There is no "morally superior" war. War is war and it's bad. Russia's war is one of the worst types of war. And even if the US' were equivalent, that doesn't justify Russia's.

I know there is a seemingly endless stream of people who are going to make 'Russian propaganda' allegations under any substantive comment that goes against the dominant Western media narrative, with facile and shallow rebuttals of points made. But this is a very serious topic and every serious person should stop and think before they engage in such behaviour. The Russian propaganda charge here is especially stupid when I only referenced the views of US Americans and Britons, including :

1. George Kennan - "best known as an advocate of a policy of containment of Soviet expansion during the Cold War" [1]

2. William Burns - United States Deputy Secretary of State (2011-2014), Director of the Central Intelligence Agency since 2021 [2]
