November 6Nov 6 15 minutes ago, Captainant said: I've found myself having this conversation with my in-laws as well, not something I would have imagined My favorite part of ALL of those conversations, especially if they are with adults who saw something on FB or AI spit out, like "the Mayans were also skilled in the field of space travel, and frequently visited their home world of Jupiter," their response to your point of "yeah....that's not true," is invariably "oh yeah? Well.....you don't have any proof that it's NOT true!" FFS, (1) that's not how the burden of proof works, and (2) demanding that someone prove a negative is asinine. "Idiocracy" is too kind a label for this country.

November 7Nov 7 Author That story made me super sad. It’s beyond time to regulate this in its consumer applications. Every text it spits out should have a cigarette style warning: ”This text was created by a computer program that cannot think or feel. The program is owned by (company) and its purpose is to advance (company’s) business interest.” Every image or audio visually or audibly watermarked in a similar way.

November 7Nov 7 jesus christ that might be the most horrible thing i've seen this year, and this year has been this year. gotdamn. Meh. That’s normal, and a perfect example of the ethics of the AI industry as a whole. Get used to a LOT more of it.Money has value.Power and control have value.Humanity has no value. Shit, probably negative value.And we’re elevating that worldview more every day.

He's naturally cynical about a lot of stuff on the internet because of me and his mom, and because he and his friends seem to have the same shared cynicism about advertising, spam, etc. But there are definitely kids around his age who do not seem to have any critical thinking skills. Those kids are going to have their bank accounts cleaned out in the not-to-distant future. It's like kids who did their term papers and what not straight out of the encyclopedia, back in the day. Funny thing, though, I'm an internet junkie of sorts, but mostly to read. I spend about half my time on some kind of reference site. Like, we started thread jacking somewhere on ships of the line and battleships. I spent the next couple of days looking up naval battles in the age of steam, and the development of battleships. Which is a topic I have geeked out on before.

November 12Nov 12 What if you build up a massive network that can generate and propagate AI stories on a whim? $PZZA Gate: Papa Johns Stock Soars On Fake Buyout News - HUNTERBROOK $PZZA Gate, Part 2: The Network Behind Fake Papa Johns News - HUNTERBROOK Quote On Monday, Hunterbrook broke the news of a scheme using fake news distribution websites to spread false reports of a Papa Johns acquisition, which sent the share price flying. After our investigation was published, outlets that had picked up the spoofed report — including Bloomberg and Barron’s — walked back their reporting. A source close to Papa Johns also confirmed the rumors were indeed a hoax, with $PZZA’s share price giving up most of its gains. Now, with website data, IP addresses, and social media accounts, Hunterbrook has tied the apparent market disinformation scheme to a website network operated out of Dubai by U.K. nationals. What is still unknown: Who profited from the pump? It's a deep-dive into IP addresses, emails, time stamps, images, etc.

Thanks to AI, a single operator can control a hundred drones simultaneously.

November 14Nov 14 I had an argument with Generative AI this afternoon. I asked for a quick way to pull Cloud IMDS data for consumption/cost purposes. It churned out some buggy code and I immediately asked it to debug its code because I could tell it was faulty, it replied that there was nothing incorrect. A half hour later I am asking it to show which documents it's grounding its answers in, provide its source with links, and it does. But the links don't contain any related information. I then inform it that it is wrong and if it insists that it is correct, it needs to provide a screenshot of the documents it is citing, which it did not. Then I asked it to cite which page of the documentation it is grounding its answer in and link it for me. Fucking asshole lied and made up a bunch of nonsense, then sent me a link. It was like getting into an argument on Surly demanding a source and then telling the poster they were a moron and lacked reading comprehension. Jesus, what a waste of time. I ended up correcting its output on my own after telling it their mom was a whore.

If you can make a lot of money selling tulip bulbs -- and have a way to exit your position/commitment before the tulip bulb market crashes -- go for it. I have an old buddy who has managed to make $30 million via his crypto company. I ultimately think that when the music stops, the enterprise won't be worth much. But he's made his money, and good for him.
