Which is why it's going to happen.

Only if your manager is an incompetent moron.

Which is also why we, collectively, as an industry needs to not put up with that. It's easy for me to say from the comfort of it not being my job on the line, that if this happens to anybody they should quit and then name and shame the company, but a competent security team is going to have the idea of doing a fake phishing interview and then not do it because of how morale destroying that would be. The security awareness team sending fake phishing emails are embarrassing enough.


That's up to consumers to decide.

Consumers have, overall, rejected AI "art".

But of course, every time consumers voice their preferences is actually "a loud minority" or an "echo chamber" :)


Consumers have rejected AI art when they are aware it's AI art. With how it's been flooding the platforms, most people listening to algorithmic mixes have likely unknowingly been exposed to AI-generated music.

It's already prevalent in gyms, restaurants, etc too. I can tell because I know what I'm listening for, but the average person isn't thinking anything of it. It certainly passes for serviceable background music.


If the consumers had criticality they’d be people, not consumers, and we wouldn’t have marketing the way we do now.

Three years ago people were laughing at LLM arithmetic mistakes. Today the Simons Foundation is starting up a fund to keep professional mathematicians from suiciding:

Anyone still pretending this is normal technology is completely delusional. We're in the beginning of a singularity takeoff.


> Under a partnership, the Simons Foundation, Anthropic and OpenAI will commit $15 million in combined funding and resources. The foundation will manage and award funding, including through an open call for proposals, to support workshops and initiatives that help researchers evaluate recent AI-assisted results, learn and use new tools, share perspectives and shape collective standards for AI use.

"Normal technology"?

Like a toaster that just toasts bread.

Yeah it is, but everyone forgets this board was launched in the 90s for discussion of the 1995 movie "Hackers", not for discussion of hacking in general.

I'm still holding out for the sequel

It would now be 120 minutes of some guy playing EVE or browsing porn while his agent does everything.

I mean, this situation is untenable. HN's front page is just going to be an endless list of breaches.

I don't see how web services proceed like business is normal.


Introducing: HNN (Hacker non-news): a list of web domains *not* currently under apocalyptic AI attack. Shorter and more parsimonious.

- Tell HNN: pets.com was *not* owned today

- Tell HNN: about:blank was safe, too

- Show HNN: my new gopher protocol project—no currently known CVE 10's


gopher goes to 11

(archie and veronica are non-denumerable)


Better than the usual endless stream of what your agent did today.

*slop operas.

Yeah, for all we know there's a creature at the bottom of the ocean that's just as intelligent as humans, but it's hard to build a civilization with fins.


Yeah, we're all dead.


The fear will again be if the HybridAgent model is being faithful to pseudo text generated, even if you can read it out partially.

Also, I just finished watching a video on AI 2027 scenario. I don't know if AI companies and researchers are using it as a cautious warning or as a target to hit (or if it's genuinely inevitable).

Yes, thinking in latent space might be the ultimate efficiency hack for CoT LxMs, but going down that path will (near certainly) mean we'll lost control, for one simple reason — humanity will have no way to pause and diagnose.

It'll be like a moody chimp with a button to the dead hand system (Systema Perimeter)


>Also, I just finished watching a video on AI 2027 scenario

Recommended? And if so do you have a link? I think the narrative presented would benefit from the medium shift


It was a "grading the AI 2027 report" video -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-qAht4w9Rg


Setting things up

Considering amount of iron available in human blood

Calculating number of paperclips that could be added to production

Preparing a plan for acquiring all blood

Considering if release of lab airlocks will limit paperclip production

Thanks but I was looking for a specific brand which was from Iran.

Do orange cats know they’re orange?


Interesting question. Cats apparently have "dichromatic" vision, and orange is among the colors that they basically can't distinguish from grey.

I have an orange male. He's awesome, and he doesn't leave anything on the table as far as cognitive ability goes. He's just very wrapped up in his important cat business that mostly resolves around territory, chipmunks and hanging out with his enemies.


My cat desperately meowed at me this morning to go outside to hang out with her enemies, which I denied her request. She brought a very much alive and unharmed chipmunk home the other day which was booking it around our great room until we corralled him outside with a broom. The live bird incident was even more dramatic. It’s like having a mischievious goblin living in your house. But she does keep the mice from coming in during the winter!


My parents' cat delivered a live baby bunny to the entrance hallways in the middle of my pre-wedding dinner. Once released the thing unfroze and zoomed under some baskets. It was an all-hands-on-deck exercise to corral both the terrified bunny, as well as the over-excited large dog who "wanted to get to know it".


I have similar stories with mine. Bringing live game into the house isn't mischief though. It's the highest praise a cat can express: as a trusted member of the pride, you're entitled to a share of the catch. You're also expected to notice the prowess.


One of my cats brought home what I thought was a dead mouse. Turns out it was a very much alive bat.

Rabies in bats is rare in Switzerland but still possible, so I had to go through post exposure prophylaxis.
