The hardest you can nonconsensually destroy a D wile still being allowed on pornhub.
Lol, honestly, that’s on you for having incorrectly adjusted priors. Whenever I catch wind of a prompting snafu, I immediately assume I’ll hear the rejoinder of “You must be prompting it wrong”.
"how foolish of you to believe the 24/7 barrage of propaganda about AI agents"
trusting ~~an AI~~ glorified autocomplete to do anything with your file system was your first mistake
To (somewhat) reiterate a potentially extreme position of mine, shit like this is why society needs to actively avoid adopting new software for the time being, if not actively cut back on software usage whenever possible.
Whilst the IT industry was already a failure-ridden mess which actively refuses to learn before AI was a thing, the rise of AI and "vibe coding" has made things so much worse in practically every regard. At this point, any new software should be treated as a liability until proven otherwise.
while I relate to this take and it could even work out for offline systems, online systems need constant updates to protect yourself against software vulnerabilities. i don't think we've reached the point where FOSS software is so infiltrated that a Trojan would be less malicious than slop code
That is a pretty solid point - constant updates are something online systems need on a regular basis.
AFAIK FOSS has avoided being slopified by AI, so we should hopefully be pretty far from that point
certain projects like Fedora and Bitwarden are considering it, so I'm not too pleased about that
The current state of online software is another sad story, with webbrowser at the front.
mind sharing some examples?
For example, the whole deal with the web being cross-platform. For the few platforms the monster-software exists. And as long as it isn't a webapp, because then it's mostly Chrome-only, while the handling sucks more and the codebase is even larger (and less secure) than a native app. All while being the sole reason people still need a more powerful PC the last 15 years.
It could be better.
And yes, i'm using Dillo and Netsurf now and then and half of the webpages don't even bother with a fallback, despite using the tag. Advertising revenue has ruined the web.
Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
