Also gotta love the write-only disk as a hardware analogy. Insane write speeds and infinite capacity...


Huh? But there are integrity checks (none in htmx case, which is strange), to prevent exactly this attack.


I'm not sure I follow. How does an integrity check help when the source is compromised? The developer doesn't know that their repo is compromised. They continue posting legitimate hashes because the repo is legitimately compromised.


Should work on building the AI Jensen. Maybe it's already the AI Jensen


Cancel right away? Or are Amazon subs different?


Noooo. Makes me wonder how much money do you need to buy up all the ad slots in the world and replace them with blanks.


So much money that only running your mega ad operation would allow you to cover the costs.


If it's known why show it off as if it works?


Why hide it?


Don't people do this too all the time?


:shush:


AI bad, AI bad, AI bad. bad bad bad, AI-bad.


I didn't see any complaints about any kind of artificial intelligence, research or otherwise, besides large language models, in this article.

Large language models are a single kind of AI, and a particularly annoying kind when you are forced to use them for deterministic or fact seeking tasks

or did you read the article? you're probably an LLM. why am I here? fuck this website


True but LLMs are all that are being sold right now. Mainly because people think they are intelligent because they're basically bullshit artist simulators.

I don't think the future of AI is with LLMs either. Not only LLMs anyway.


> How hard is that to fix? Aren't they using CoPilot? Just ask it to fix the invisible icon.

Maybe that's the problem? Imagine a Microsoft employee allowed to program only by using a CoPilot prompt, screaming and begging to just apply a patch he already written without touching anything else :D


This might not be too far from what's happening. In the dotnet repos you can see MS employees constantly fighting it across hundreds of PRs: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/120637


Came for programming, became a shepherd, awesome career.


https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/120637#discussion_r24...

lmao. They had an AI create a PR, then a human to review it, but then the human ended up using another AI to review the original AI.


Looking that that PR and the interaction with CoPilot I struggle to see how it wouldn't have been easier to simply sidestep the AI.


After all that noise, the clanker just says it can't do it and the PR is abandoned. I'd say it would have been easier to literally do nothing and have the same result.

If a human wrote it, at least there would have been a possibility for learning or growth. This just looks like a waste of time for everyone.


Noise, credits.


Maybe if we burn through the budget, the AI mandates will back off a bit?


Intriguing!

Also, what fuzzy stuff?


Oh man that gave me a good laugh!

At one point it basically just keeps responding with

>This requires a comprehensive rewrite


I never laughed so hard from watching a PR's comments.


Seeing Copilot says this over and over again was hilarious: "The current implementation requires a complete rewrite..."
