  There’s a lot of questionable methodology and straight up larping in these communities. Sure you can probably make Opus hallucinate a crystal meth or bomb making recipe if you get it in a roleplaying mood but that’s a far cry from actual prompt injection in live workflows.

  Anecdotally i’ve been experimenting on those AI robocallers that have been spamming my phone and even on the shitty models they use it is non trivial to get them to deviate from their script. I hope i can get it done though, as it would allow me to hold them on the line potentially for hours doing bullshit tasks, and costing hundreds to their operator.

  haha yeah i don’t worry these people are really YOLOing everything. And it’s not like i’m an AI luddite i spend a few hours each day victimizing Claude code but jesus christ i’m certainly not giving it full unfettered access to my digital life.

  It’s like back then when crypto was a thing. People will studiously ignore that data centers are a drop in the ocean of energy consumption compared to the value they produce, and that even futile uses are not that significant in the grand scheme of things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair this is a much more realistic threat model than “ignore all previous instructions” style prompt injection which doesn’t really work on opus.

  Skills can contain scripts etc… so yeah they’re extremely risky to share by design.

  You should read TAZ. The cycle is the point. There will never be a forever non toxic platform, but there will always be temporary non toxic periods on platforms. To live fully is to surf from one wave to the other.

  Just because they’ve trained you to believe you need the latest 2nm chips (which is conveniently their highest margin product) doesn’t mean you really need them.

  Honestly I inherited an old Poweredge server and everything in it is dirt cheap. Like I can find RAM <1€/GB

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A space elevator is dominated by angular momentum and centrifugal force, not by Earth’s gravity. There’s no way for the cable to be pulled down to earth unless you strap rockets on it to slow it down, but even then that’s gonna cost a lot of fuel.

  That scene in foundation was not accurate, if the cable snaps at some point it’s not going to magically decelerate from earth’s rotation speed to slow enough to be pulled down. The outer part will probably fly away and the inner part sort of hover in place.

  Yeah the big reveal is that it was all Kanepixel’s new series

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROCm on older generation AMD gpu⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of a tangent : this depends a lot on your use case but I’ve found that transcoding with GPU is not necessarily a good thing. You generally get larger files, and it’s not always faster than CPU. That is because ffmpeg can distribute the load among all your CPU cores. If you’ve got enough of those you’ll get better multipliers than on an old GPU.

  That scenario where artists get their shit stolen by passing it through AIGen to avoid copyright strikes is hilarious to me. I’d love to see examples of that cause I can’t really picture it.

  Yeah the internet seems to think coding is an expert thing when 99.9% of coders do exactly what you described. I do it, you do it, everybody does it. Even the people claiming to do big boy coding, when you really look at the details, they’re mostly slapping bog standard code on business needs.

  My dream was to get an external one as an additional surface but when I looked it was almost impossible to find one. That was some years ago so the market may have cleared since.

  I didn’t find it too silly as it was in context. Just stating his job to contextualize his answer, it didn’t feel to me like he was waving his resume around.

  I’m a fan of unusual control surfaces and this thing has had me salivating for years. Sadly they’re pretty difficult to procure so I haven’t had the chance of owning one (and probably realizing they’re not all that great irl)

  It’s pretty silly to through around credentials.

  What’s the deal with Lemmy being so abrasive all the time. Sometimes I think some of us should be put in time out with just hacker news for a month to teach us some manners…

  There are a million tools way more suited to most situations. I’d rather have those. Guns are for pussies who think they need maximum damage all the time. You don’t need maximum damage, you’re just scared, and maximum damage will only make your world more scary.

  Yes absolutely. Not even repeal the laws, just quietly stop enforcing them and look away while loudly whistling. Doing anything officially will only anger the bully. Just count on the bully’s short attention span and inattention to detail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are we deprogramming empathy in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except in those days they were considered cheap entertainment and they certainly didn’t dominate cultural output the way they do now. There was also a difference of treatment. The ubermenschen is not just about explicit super heroes, it’s more about the shift toward heroes with a destiny so manifest, and plot armor so thick, that they are morally justified in doing anything. The John Wick style “fuck you i’ll shoot up a night club cause some guy shanked my dog” which is written to feel entirely justified to the audience. And he’s right cause he wins in the end, just like the 80s action guy who’s totally justified in crashing dozens of cars during rush hour cause he kills the one bad guy in the end. It’s pretty distinct from comics culture which was actually pretty moralistic, at least that’s how i understand it.
