Yeah, but they’re subhuman orcs, so who cares right.
I’m not pretending to be above it.
People who add vapid noise to threads because of their personal pet peeve suck way more ass than AI ever could.
3·16 hours agoThe exploit affects repository owners if they merge the malicious commit, their CI/CD pipeline gets infected, and their cloud credentials, SSH keys,GitHub tokens, and etc., are stolen. Anyone working on compromised repositories or using CI/CD variables could have their credentials exfiltrated. If you are not a repository owner or contributor to affected repos then your direct risk is likely low. The article lists 5,561 infected repositories, so if you don’t contribute to or use any of those repos (the full list was published by SafeDep), you’re fine.
Nothing wholesome I would wager.
Ironically, I see far more visual pollution from people whinging about AI slop than actual AI slop at this point. People will incessantly complain about AI everywhere, derailing conversations and adding noise. If somebody spots an em dash somewhere then a whole thread turns into a discussion of whether something written by an LLM or not, and whether it’s acceptable for humans to use em dashes. It’s frankly exhausting.
there were a lot of laundry fires of late
Completely agree, and the fact that this is the narrative that’s being peddled means that most people have no idea what’s really coming.
read all about it on your beloved wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_centralism
literally every survey done in China by western orgs confirms that it is in fact a democracy, and one functioning better than any western attempt I might add

It’s really frustrating to watch how people keep talking about how you just have to vote harder, when we can see a concrete example of how workers actually take power in Bolivia.
Yup, and that’s probably going to happen in the coming months, after that there’s no way to stabilize the prices.
Exactly, it’s a self reinforcing process with more countries fleeing the currency as confidence collapses. And having a global reserve underpins the US fiscal policy, if the demand for the dollar drops dramatically then it’s almost certainly will lead to a domestic economic crash.
I think some are used to suppress price domestically as well.
82·6 days agoOh that’s the magic of tools like opencode, you run it in a folder and it acts as a harness for the model where it can interact with the filesystem. You could do the same with an IDE as well, making your own agentic harness is actually pretty straight forward. So you could make a plugin that talks to, say, ollama https://ampcode.com/notes/how-to-build-an-agent
You could’ve said the exact same thing about the internet in the early 2000s when the bubble was at its peak and you had a bunch of companies trying to make products that made no sense. But when the hype died down, and the bubble popped, we got a lot of very useful tech out of it. The situation with LLMs is exactly the same.
While LLMs are stochastic in nature, that doesn’t in any way make them useless. There are plenty of scenarios where they work extremely well. For example, just last week, I wanted to figure out how to decode RAW files from my camera. I have a Nikon, and it uses NEF format which is proprietary and has no open source decoder right now. I threw an LLM at decompiling a binary and tracing it in memory as it was doing the decoding. After a few days, the LLM managed to write the code that decodes the images. This is absolutely not something I would’ve been able to do on my own. And the fact that there aren’t any open source drivers yet, shows that it’s a very difficult task to accomplish. That’s just one real world example.
