Ignoring advice to secure and monitor your sandboxes during testing then blaming it on your AI being so smart that it’s a threat to humanity is nasty work

Two services reached out today because attackers attempted to use their AI chatbots to try to access my accounts. Their attack vector is to upload an ID to the chatbot and then start a password recovery process. For those in Ontario, be careful. globalnews.ca/news/1205846...

In retrospect, this argument was always wishful thinking from React apologists - a last redoubt after every other piece of ground (usability, performance, etc) had been lost to better alternatives. If you can't convince people on merit, try to appear inevitable. Good strategy tbh! For a while anyway

It does not matter how fast you can code. What matters is how well your code serves you and the people you wrote it for. The amount of revenue it makes. The amount of maintenance that it costs. Old code is profitable code. That’s what you want.

What was navigation like for vehicle drivers in the United States before the internet and
GPS?

Before GPS devices and smartphones/cellular internet networks were a thing (Garmin company was founded 1989), millions of Americans were already getting around driving without the use of those inventions. How did they navigate? Did everyone need stacks of maps? Were drivers frequently lost? Did everyone have to understand the interstate system and use intuition to guide them? How burdensome was driving before GPS? Did drivers pay people to calculate an optimal route for them?

I wrote about Great Replacement Grok and the growing number of ways that AI systems are working against their own users. It's the age of adversarial AI: www.platformer.news/grok-white-g...

Grok’s egregiously irrelevant responses all but ensured that this particular political project would blow up in the company's face. But let’s assume that over time, interventions like these will grow more subtle, relevant, and personalized. People already have plenty of good reasons to be skeptical of, or even hostile to, AI developers. Soon I expect we will begin hearing much more about one more: a pervading sense that, everywhere they go, the AI is working against them.
