The good news is that almost everything is better than it was 40 years ago. The bad news is that almost everything is worse than it was 10 years ago.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: Omni Man and Invincible are floating in the sky. Two fighter jets are flying nearby. One is labeled "double" and the other is labeled "float". Omni Man is labeled "Mathematicians". Panel 2: Omni Man / Mathematicians turn to Invincible and say "Look what they need to mimic a fraction"

back in 2022 i found a bug that would let me, with no user interaction, turn any chromium-based browser into a permanent js botnet member in edge, you wouldn't even notice anything out-of-place, and would stay connected to the c2 even after closing the browser

Been studying 3rd person camera and discovered a neat trick from Zelda Walls blocking camera is commonly solved by moving the viewpoint closer. However when the wall is moved away, Link's camera doesn't immediately jump to its original position, instead only slowly recovers when there is user input.

but those early, "unbaked" language models were *basically* produced by applying math to various subsets of human generated data about humans. nobody was "designing them to fool people" because they weren't for public release or consumption, they were pure research products

For the record, I do have enough technical knowledge to say that generative models neither contain nor reproduce their training data. I know a lot of people have anecdotes to the contrary, but they simply do not do that. You’re lying to yourself if you think they do.

to kind of sum this up, I think that the role of generative AI in the future is going to be for filling in elements that, for whatever reason, the creator wants to be in the work but does not feel the audience needs to feel were crafted by human hands

my conclusions here are in many ways bummers! here's the thing I was trying to say: I think fewer people in the future are going to bother learning to make art,or write,or make music,or code,in traditional ways in the future because of generative work. this will make lots of stuff less interesting.

the gist of what I said was that I think that, barring some kind of legal outcome that heavily restricts the availability of generative models, I think they will become extremely common as part of creative pipelines, and fewer people will learn skills they might otherwise have.

The thing is that traditional troubleshooting skills still have to be learned with experience. LLMs definitely help, but can only complement real troubleshooting skills. If all you do is ask questions with insufficient context and can't use your brain to guide it toward a good result, it won't work

I really can't emphasize enough that it takes only about three pieces of information about someone to re-identify them. None of us are particularly anonymous if we have any sort of sustained online presence

June 15th. Additionally, the Bluesky account user self-identified as 38 years old, indicating a likely
date of birth (DOB) of
7. The Bluesky account user made additional posts about being in Cincinnati, Ohio.
8. The TXFC observed an additional post by the Bluesky account user regarding the
death of his on 2025, at the age of years old.
9. The TXFC conducted open-source queries of obituaries matching the date of death
of 2025, and likely location of Cincinnati, Ohio, and observed an obituary for
[REDACTED] with a date of death of 2025.
10. Kelly’s obituary was reviewed, which included a listing of all
grandchildren by name. The TXFC conducted Accurint searches for the last name [REDACTED], DOB of
and location of Cincinnati, Ohio, and returned a match of [REDACTED]

In music they tell us that stealing is what makes you a great artist. Nobody is actually stealing anything, it’s all just about being deeply inspired. That has to be ok! How else will we make great new art?

You need to know a certain amount about how the pieces fit together, but you often really don't need to know all that much about the arcane details to nail down quite precisely where a problem lies.
