It's a pokémon joke. In the first games there is a kid who has a very random line about his love for shorts, and since then they've put someone like him with a similar quote in a lot of games.

That would certainly explain it. I guess the story they're trying to push is "People intentionally use bad AI just to give officially supported, good AI a bad name!". And that's quite the ridiculous claim.

I remember a long time ago complaining about a shitty pattern like this (specifically, bombing your history by artificially making a shitload of redirects and thus making the back button useless. Probably the old school way to do this shit). Back then I was told by web devs "this is how the web works, you can't have a browser detect and block this!". Fuck that.

>sabotaging their company’s AI by entering proprietary info into public AI chatbots, using unapproved AI tools, This is counter-productive and can get you in big trouble IMO. I don't even get what these are protesting. >or intentionally using low-quality AI output in their work without fixing it. This is better and I think I would totally do this if management forced me to use AI. If they want to pretend using this thing is a better use of my time, I'll give them what they want. Fortunately I am working for an administration that has had rather tame expectations for gen AI use till now. They're basically just like "experiment if you want, be careful and use what works for you". So I just keep doing what I always did.

It’s no use. You can always try to hide it, we might have slightly fewer opportunities to use “slopilot” but we can still default to “microslop”.

Not sure exactly what actions they'd be willing to take, but fake experts on "non-political" subjects are definitely used to push political agendas. For example, climate change deniers.

~~I was expecting some cool Mario strats~~ I'm always using "clear" to just get rid of my console's output. I think it has something to do with me remembering I used that on my old 80's computer, trying it out on a bash long after that and "oh, that works here too, that's convenient". Reset looks like it does more stuff, but I don't know if that's useful for this use case.

My second-hand, old as hell, button-only kindle has never downloaded any book from Amazon since I got it. Only Calibre.

Until they started to generate slopilot labels for them. Because nothing is safe from the slop.

Reasoning is woke propaganda anyway.

It was just not good enough for “We wrote a sci-fi story”.

He “fell into the trap of hallucinations”. Yeah, maybe we need to stop pretending people who ask LLM to slop their work for them are victims. “Look, the robot found an irresistible quote, how could I not use it?!” That’s great journalism for you.

Zuckerberg not caring about people’s consent is literally the core principle that lead to facebook. He must be such a proud bot daddy.

I don’t live near big scaly things full of teeth, so what do I know, but making it thrash about in anger would not be my first idea.

I think those games that are made to be boring and absurdly grindy and then offer you to pay to skip the boring parts are even worse. And they’re not limited to phone, too. “Pay to not play”, when we ensure our gameplay loop is so bad that you literally think your time spent in it has negative value.

Yeah, part of the usual “it’s not bad, you’re using it wrong” arsenal. Definitely not the clever hack they think it is. This probably has as much potential to create new errors as to find old ones. LLMs are trained to be “helpful”, if you tell it with total confidence something is wrong, it will answer like there is something to correct, and anything will do. So even if it had something about right to begin with, now it will thank you for your “insightful” question and output some bullshit to please you.

I think I’m too sober for this shit.

I am ready to believe those that allowed this law to pass were.

Well, another big hint is how the thing answered by addressing a username that wasn’t part of the exchange, twice. If it’s even manually copy-pasted, the guy doing that didn’t allocate a single braincell to what was being discussed.

The great thing about asking gen AI to look for problems, is that it's *so helpful* it will create new ones for you. Like arguing for hours that if you were to remove safeguards from your code, it would become unsafe. https://hackerone.com/reports/2298307

Oh cool, now there’s a new way of using AI to destroy the environment. Old one wasn’t deliberate enough.

would increase costs For us? Microsoft licences aren’t exactly cheap, keep getting more expensive, and every single basic functionality is an extra. cybersecurity risks, Trust the megacorp with a huge target on its back that will deny any responsibility when it fucks up instead. limit AI and cloud services Sounds exclusively like a “you” problem. expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship, Sure, give that control to the US government instead. Fuck that bullshit. Hopefully no clueless politician falls for it.

No idea, I know nothing about it except what's in the article. Though coming from the UK, if that was part of a government campaign like I've heard since, that would not really surprise me.

That "guy" was not yet censored everywhere when I looked at their history. Every post was the same ad for yet another crypto con.

I was wondering a bit about this too, what about usual obsession with dangerous blue haired feminazi. Though maybe that's more of a US thing. Maybe it's because of that too : >The origins of the character are ironic, to say they least. An early iteration of Amelia began life in a counter-extremism video game

>If you are unfamiliar with Amelia, the chances are you will soon encounter one viral meme or another inspired by her on Facebook or X ...no. that is not likely.

The reason they’re cheaper is because the carrier is expecting to keep you locked in their network. Not worth it IMO. Similar to cheaper phones with loads of preinstalled crap, you’re not getting a discount, you’re signing a deal to be farmed. I don’t buy very expensive phones, but I try to find ones that are mostly free of crap (not easy), and I’m ready to pay a bit extra for that.

My VR headset can create pretty accurate 3D maps of my environment like nothing, and it only uses cameras to do so, so I can imagine it’s doable. Then, yeah, it doesn’t “make sense” for that thing to externalize that.

There’s something not working in this article. They say it “makes sense” for the device to basically send the plan of your home to some online server, because the vacuum is not powerful enough to process this data on its own. This is already a bit horrifying to me, but okay. And then when that guy blocked it out, the vacuum “worked for a while” before something sent the kill command through an update. How come is it still working at all if navigation requires that server?
