Alternate headline: "I gave my personal AI agent my bank details and you'll never guess what happened"

You can still say fuck on the internet, idk what kind of anti fuck propaganda this is.

“But it is what it is: the new normal with a lot of fixes, many of them due to review by various AI tools.”

AFAIK the "huge updates" are written by humans in response to LLM found bugs.

The KDE thing was a specific person declaring that they would hold a meeting about Gen AI in KDE, who hasn't contributed to the project in years otherwise. Nobody is going to convince everyone to compile their own vibecoded version of KDE's projects.

EDIT: See https://discuss.kde.org/.... The developers seem to be responding in an acceptable manner, although I only looked at the start and end since it's quite a long discussion.

I made this comment because self censorship is a problematic pattern that should have no place on the Fediverse. Saying nothing is equivalent to endorsement, to which I cannot morally oblige.

Thank you for your perspective, I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on the matter.

Counterargument: ctrl+f is a great place for regex. Write once read never problems are a great application for unreadable languages. Imagine if people wrote scripts in the language vi uses for editnigbceediting, which mostly isn't even displayed as it's typed!

But yeah, it's kind of terrible for anything else.

I read through the exact message chain that article is referencing some time ago, which did not lead me to the conclusion the article would suggest. It seems that he consistently refers to AI use from the perspective of finding bugs more so than than fixing them, which he could definitely do a better job clarifying.

It's a matter of learning your desktop environment's shortcuts for managing windows. For example, I always set up a 3x3 grid of virtual desktops on KDE so I can play act at being those weird wall street people with 9 monitors:

I don't know what that's from, but the premise of "person thinks name tag is for their benefit" alone would be funny enough even if it was actually a name tag.

For each operation my CPU's ALU can do, I need to find a bit mask that turns it on only for the desired set of 8 bit opcodes. The bit mask is of the form [01_].[01_][01_][01_][01_][01_][01_][01_][01_] where 0 and 1 mean the bit has to match and _ means it doesn't matter. The bit before the . is the xor of all the other bits in the opcode.

The solver has to figure out both which opcodes represent each instruction and what bit masks are needed to give them the desired operations.

Nice timing, I just finished it!

I was able to adjust the bit mask format to be easier to work with by hand and got it most of the way, then used the SAT solver to quickly finish the rest when I got stuck.

The silent majority is, as in all extreme cases, deadly.

Note: Self censorship is a pattern that is best to avoid spreading. Surely there is a clean version of this screenshot.

Based on my other comment, do you have any in mind that would be more appropriate?

I appreciate that sentiment, and much more the indication that I'm not mistaken to choose the "never deliberately run the output of an LLM" path.

Holy shit is that a Homestuck panel? First I've seen of The MSPA Reader outside the comic's sphere.

This kind seems like it’s basically what I said?

My mistake, I associated what you said as

(machine learning) is not the same as (“AI” (LLMs, presented as beings capable of thought))

(aka LLMs aren't ML) rather than

machine learning is not the same as “AI” e.g. (LLMs, presented as beings capable of thought)

(aka LLMs are ML, and when presented as a replacement for humans they are AI)

Either way, I believe there is some value in comparing even simple decision making technology to the human brain. After all, we are capable of making those sorts of decisions as well. Tbf I may be biased by my internal mental model of coding, where I imagine describing a set of steps, relations, abstractions, etc to an entity with an extremely direct manner of interpretation.

My personal moral of (seemingly malicious) language ambiguity is to avoid the term AI altogether.

Thanks for the discussion!

Getting mauled by a farmbot IRL any% wr.

Sort of has the vibe of https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

Yes, this is fucking satire, you fuck

A reasonable reminder when reading things like this.
