today one of our media editing suppliers asked for consent to create a deepfake of my voice and sample data reading a script with all the major phonemes and I went nope nope nope nope nope I am okay with finetuning voice recognition, but not letting a corporation literally put words in my mouth.
every single existential risk I can think of is *humans* applying AI to bad ends, and not *AI* going rampant. Yes, a bioweapon would be bad. but it's more than likely a terrorist group that deploys it for psychopath reasons, not an AI trying to hold humanity hostage in exchange for more compute
I've been accepted into @anthropic.com's credits for open source developers programme, on the basis of my arm64 compatibility and optimisation work. I'm very excited to not have to pay for my OSS development tokens any more!
people shit on the Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]> headers but actually they're *incredibly* useful for retroactive analysis of things like wordiness and failure rate on CLs produced per model etc. and you lose that if you reword or squash it away without "assisted-by:"
our virtuous ai, our exceptional devs, our wonderful code their slop, their clueless bozos, their misaligned ai
me going to work this morning: 😀🎶🎶🎶 me seeing a go patch release for security: eh, probably not a big deal me opening up the patch release email: crypto/x509, eh, probably not a feature we use, no rush me opening up bsky morning digest from LLM: 😡😡😡😡😡 current state: 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
You are not immune to falling for AI image slop, I've seen like 3 viral images go around my timeline from people that I know wouldn't deliberately reshare AI slop. :( :(
Huh, I realised the switching friction and moat between harnesses probably doesn't exist any more. You can just have your new harness port your old harness's data over as the first thing it does. If it's good enough to reinstall an Ubuntu VM and port the data it's good enough to port LLM configs.
oh hey, genuinely, thank you @aaron.bsky.team, just had someone sealioning in my mentions who doesn't follow me, I don't follow them. in a conversation about AI use and bugs in popular AI tools, they came to tell me to just not use AI. notification popped up, disappeared, it's now a hidden reply.
My main takeaway from tonight's @sydtechleaders.bsky.social is that we should not expect existing law on the books to protect us from AI harms, every decision around regulation and liability is a *public policy* and *systems design* question rather than about immutable rules of tort law.
