@0x00string@infosec.exchange @Niall@mastodon.nz @thomasbeagle@mastodon.nz Musk dated and had kids with a technoDJ after they got high and talked about artificial intelligence. That's basically 60% of the nerds I know. The problem was the belief that Nerds can't be Nazis.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange LLMs can officially be called "The Tucker Carlson of facts"

@0x00string@infosec.exchange @Niall@mastodon.nz @thomasbeagle@mastodon.nz Listen - Grimes was different and that's important context. And I mean - someone can be a nerd without being interesting. I think it's important to own the shitty parts of our own social graph. Eric S Raymond is a hacker. Elon Musk is a nerd. That doesn't mean they're good - and we just need to own it. Nerd doesn't make you good. Being good makes you good!

@artemis@dice.camp I think there's value to thinking about how the US military is funded by talking about cool weapons and how you could kill people with your thing. There's a lot of money in tools to setup military equipment quickly on the field. There's no money on setting up a gym in a few hours. The US can easily replace weapons and defenses. It can't replace comforts and things that let people live.

@0xabad1dea the famous Nuxi Starsystem

@mayintoronto@beige.party also - I think Epistomological Collapse is a huge deal, losing our ability to engage with the concept of knowledge. But - I'll wait until @firefly_lightning finishes all dozen papers and three books and writes the essay she's working on to be rigerously mad about it.

@mayintoronto@beige.party @firefly_lightning Not only that! All facts are equally presented and sourced. You need an image of a migrant killing an ICE officer? Sure buddy! You need a source that vaccines cause autism? Got you! You need a source that sunburns are linked to skin cancer? Done! If we use these things to learn - we quickly will learn everything with equal depth, and we can build epistemological communities based on the fact lines we've walked and the LLMs we've used, and then eventually - our own personal reality which is corroborated by our own source documents. Sure - this is happening in general with the internet - but this is scaling it.

@mayintoronto@beige.party convenient.email/display/2c704… People ignore this effect. The small "open source" models are made from chopped up LLMs, and can't get updates without synthesizing their data.

@mayintoronto sharks!

@chrisvest@mastodon.social @ehashman@cloudisland.nz I'm so worried this is a serious proposal

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social remember when everyone was obsessing over Capital In The 21st Century which called this?

@xabean@infosec.exchange I used a manual barcode scanner once and scanned a collection of books. And some serials used the same code *for every book in the series*

@gloriouscow@oldbytes.space wow these are badass

so, uh, I guess the witch was exactly what she was accused of being #monsterdon

@kf7ccc@mastodon.radio @mwl@io.mwl.io now it's time for peer pressure to make it happen.

@tante now I'm thinking of when they sent desktop searches to Amazon

uh, what? what?! @ehashman@cloudisland.nz

@darth@silversword.online I keep linux for games, so my gaming computer is linux, but everything else is BSD unless there is a constraint disallowing BSD

A software dev must never administer a system, or through inaction, allow themselves to become a defacto administrator

It's important to remember that Christian Gray was into the Chronicles of Riddick, the only truly special film we have

@david_chisnall The fact that this actually happened still boggles my mind!

@owen@mastodon.transneptune.net GitHub - being maligned as AI Slop and a wave of people moving off of it Gitlab - "We should get in on that AI thing"

@owen@mastodon.transneptune.net Well that's true. I just don't know how long that will last. Gotta grab the money *and* keep it.

@SecureOwl@infosec.exchange Tonight on my bike I passed by a couple, man gesticulating at the woman, then I hear him say "Don't hire them to do a job, if you can't pay them to give a shit" First time I ever supported the gesticulating man.

@tef Seriously! I've been reading the bugs they found - and the reason these are old bugs is that they're bugs that any linter would have found but no one bothered to run against ancient working code.

@occult @flexion I immediately got excited about this - and there's a website for this! spacemice.org/index.php?title=…

@mason @Chel if you become a fox vtuber doing mundane powerpoints you will be able to retire

@AeonCypher@lgbtqia.space @tinker@infosec.exchange ok, I'm just unclear on your read of the situation then

@izder456 I became an OpenBSD user because I wanted an OS that was boring and simple. I was frustrated in the middle of the night one night with a broken computer, and I installed OpenBSD like... 3 times in 15 minutes (used local files, didn't need to wait for the internet), and it made it so much simpler. It's boggling.

@johnefrancis@cosocial.ca honestly, this is embarassing, wow

@uxMark @FourT4@mastodonapp.uk @ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social I saw some kids tonight with one on a bike and the other on a skateboard, and there was a rope hanging off the bike and the kid on the skateboard was holding the rope, which is kinda that. I am also in Waterloo.

Hire A Bunch Of LARPers is a pro-tier director move, more should do it! #Monsterdon

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social I've been accused of writing fanfic

Ohhhh this sword is pretty handy #monsterdon

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems when is IPv6 coming out? we've had v4 forever

Did the man with one hand give his crossbow to Van Hellsing?! #monsterdon

Oh, I get the green glow, it's a lightsaber #monsterdon

@Greg @cwebber I am pretty sure solo unicorn means something else

@AeonCypher@lgbtqia.space @tinker@infosec.exchange wait, so to be clear, he is politically aligning with it but also hates it?

@flyingsaceur@ioc.exchange don't we call Oberon Bluebottle these days?

If you think Xorg/X11 is bad, fine. If you want to replace it you must offer a replacement that meets the basic needs of its users. Wayland is not that.

considering the amount of montage and the amount of music, are we sure this *isn't* a music video #monsterdon

Ok, so it's a movie about the Friendzone #monsterdon

@FreeBSDFoundation@mastodon.social that looks too LLM to be a good look.

@dev@discuss.systems I love the idea of McKinsey consultant not knowing basic fairy tales and so retelling them using LLMs and slides

@felipe@social.treehouse.systems I started using OpenBSD as my main OS when linux started to go to shit in 2010 and have never wanted to go back

@tinker@infosec.exchange the fascinating thing here is that he's ignoring the technical merits to make a political statement. LLMs make bad code, but he's politicially aligned with them. It's silly, but, this is berzerk from every level. (Yes, LLMs are political, Linux is political, and the statement is dumb, but the other part is important)

@phooky@hexa.club @jwz@mastodon.social when I became a father I threatened my friends that I could turn any of their music into dadrock at will. True power
