why is your "here's my thoughts on the keynote" post anything beyond "the fascist I paid money to listen to spewed a bunch of badly sourced bullshit about art history and then avoided the subject of the conference almost entirely"

that chatbot doing that unsafe/violative thing is not it 'going rogue' or an 'unfortunate incident of unintended consequences,' it’s the logical and devastating consequences of an unsafe product put out by irresponsible companies that have been conditioned to believe consequences dont exist for them

the conference in question only exists because the existing main rails conf might have said he wasn't welcome so he started his own thing entirely so he could still keynote. the audience should be considered a personality cult

a lot of folks are asking how someone can do something so "stupid" as hard coding a secret token, and i'm telling you that you are holding software developers and companies on way too high a pedestal if you still think there's secure, quality code being sent out into the world
