they cannot back up anything they try.

if you fight them, you will win.

So, ok, yes, the overall obvious issues in play are obvious and the article goes into them.

But right off the bat?

"“You must be Mark,” I said, warning him I wasn’t one for hugging.

“I’m a hugger,” he said, pulling me in anyway. “I feel like I’ve known you for a lifetime.”"

The guy goes and violates consent immediately.

This is what's wrong with conservatives: they ignore the stated terms others give for interactions in favor of what they want.

Learn consent, fuckheads.

oh lovely, so there's a new evil maid attack vector in 'yellowkey'?

well. that's decidedly unpleasant for y'all windows folks.

they have a solid point, y'know.

users don't have meaningful agency here, but businesses sure the fuck do, and the way tech has treated users is creating perverse incentives and frustrations.

So, something that's been bugging the shit out of me?

These fucking assholes who let LLMs run rampant and delete prod?

They query the LLM for "why" it did that.

This is delusional behavior.

LLMs do not have a concept of 'why': they assemble a response based on a statistical sampling of likely continuations of the original prompt in their database.

LLMs do not have the ability to have motivation. It is a machine.

LLMs, further, function by instantiating a new runtime -for each query- that reads the prompt and any cache, if they exist, from prior sessions:

which means, fundamentally, "asking" the LLM to explain "why" "it" did a thing is thrice-divorced from reality:

It cannot have a why;
It cannot have a self to have motivations;
And the LLM you ask is not the one that did it, but is a new instance reading from its predecessors notes.

Treating it as tho it is an entity with continuity of existence is fucking delusional and I am fucking sick of pandering to this horseshit.

Touch some grass and get a fucking therapist.

Furthermore I have -zero- interest in cleaning up -this- mess once the LLMs have turbofucked everyone and ground their infrastructure into unusable rubbish.

Like, seriously, if you ripped out the engine of your car and replaced it with a vat of shit-flavored pudding, do you think that your mechanic would appreciate seeing that towed into her service bay? Especially if you were demanding that it be fixed without the appropriate budget and resources to hazmat-vaporize the fecal slurry and replace it with OEM spec parts?

"At least you've got job security"

I am fucking -done- with hearing this.

No, I don't.

My 'job security' is an illusion based on the presumption that, in the event that my skillset is needed - or even essential - that there will be someone who will pay for the privilege of accessing those skills.

Except that the fucking LLM jockeys have decided to claim that their product has my skillset.

Even tho it demonstrably does not, this still means that the people who would presumably hire me are uninterested in doing so, due to the existence of a machine that promises to do it for them.

And when they fail, and their business goes insolvent, they still will not be hiring me because -they no longer have a fucking business to hire me for-.

So no. My carefully built, decades-of-practice skills are -not- job security, despite LLMs being obviously, flagrantly, and blatantly incapable of replacing me.

prior service config change was committed but the service had not been restarted

Y'all "just use linux" folks can kindly shut your gobholes, as many very vulnerable people do not have a choice in the systems they have to use.

Oppose this, or you will quickly find your life growing entirely untenable.

some folks seem to be expressing a measure of discontent

oh look, the zomg teh ai found 0-days thing is horseshit.

Really, in the US, there's no way for cops to be held accountable thru legal means, given the incredibly unjust doctrines surrounding "qualified immunity".

So seeing them in a situation where they are able to be humiliated publicly at a national scale for their unjust and damaging actions is about all the catharsis that we can get these days.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116251155620526484

having been previously unaware of this situation, I've been catching up on it while drinking my morning coffee, and enjoying the humiliation of the cops in question quite thoroughly.

'cuz gods know it sure the fuck ain't safe for any of us trans folks to do it, and it's not like we, as an interested party, have any ability to change matters.

Fellow blue teamers, we can like...just take a couple weeks off. It'll be fine.

So let's see, when you're using an LLM you have a choice of a CSAM generator, the one being used to target schoolchildren for bombing, the ones that drive people to suicide, or the ones being forced nonconsensually on people.

Real great fucking industry you assholes built.

People tend to adopt the language patterns and mannerisms of those around them, in general.

Neurodivergent people are more likely to notice this, with various tics and echolalia migrating across friend groups.

If you've had a close relationship with someone, and then you find yourself distant from them, you'll occasionally notice things you say or do that remind you of them - in my case, for instance, there's a specific shrug and way of saying "yeahhhh" that is, very clearly, something that came from an ex.

It's really cool, most of the time.
