  The animals know there is a weird device there, they just sniff at it and keep going. Humans would probably investigate weird out of place things, especially in cities and more dense areas.

  Sure, it’s important to be aware of future potential issues, but there’s a huge difference between I get the wrong answer when I ask a chatbot about my email vs remote code execution.

  Also, one is a general security vulnerability with email as a whole, like phishing you can get scammed regardless of your email client, vs improperly implemented features in a specific library. I don’t think this is a reason to leave Gmail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I be worried about "Prompt injection" attacks on my gmail?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as prompt injection is concerned, I don’t think it’s a risk unless you’re using some kind of agent to go though emails, which is not a Gmail specific thing.

  If we’re taking about Google scraping your data the risk is more one of them having an incorrect profile on you, but running a conversational agent is quite expensive, I don’t they would have that as a large scale part of their pipeline. Embedding and clarification models likely aren’t instruction tuned so prompt injection won’t do anything.

  Only if you are piping those emails into something like an LLM assistant or search tool, especially if you’re not checking the results. And in that case, it doesn’t matter what email provider you use.

  I can see it maybe messing with search results when you look through your email, but again that’s independent of email provider.

  Sorry, meant you in the abstract. Not you specifically.

  Both are true here.

  Yeah the Democrats absolutely shit the bed, and still are. But also it was clear that this president was not willing to uphold the constitution, was corrupt and incompetent. If you didn’t care enough to focus on stopping Trump you weren’t taking the situation seriously.

  People who are smart in one or two domains often overestimate how smart they are in other domains. They develop a mental model, confirm it quickly, and never re-asses it.

  The issue with AI, is we’re probably hitting our first real S curve with the current technology’s performance but a lot of people who bet big are only see the exponential part and assuming there won’t be a level off, or that the level of is far away.

  There is no Moore’s law for AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Machine code is less portable, as new CPU optimizations and instructions are released, its easier to update a compiler to integrate those in its optimizations than regenerate and retest all of your code. Also, if you need to target different OSs, like windows vs MacOs vs Linux its easier to make portable code in something higher level like python or java.

  2. Static analysis to check for things like memory leaks or security vulnerabilities like sql injections are likely easier to do on human readable code rather than assembly.

  3. Its easier for a human to go in an tweak code that is written in human readable language rather than assembly.

  Yep that sounds like a flying object that no one identified.

  Make sure you use organic short half life poisons. Don’t poison the surrounding areas with rainwater runoff just because you want to live in a nightmarish hellscape.

  Desolate responsibly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the democrats actually doing to help?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s called politicking, which they absolutely should be doing.

  You’re indirectly getting laws through by twisting arms and making deals instead of just having a majority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the democrats actually doing to help?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty have been directly pressuring Republican congresspeople by rallying in their district like Sanders did this last week.

  Direct legislative action is difficult without control, but in terms of effective messaging and pressuring Republicans by threatening the midterms is probably one of the more effective strategies they have.
