Github no!

I'm right here.

Sorry, force of habit.

Gitlab no!


Good thing that isn't a popular pattern that would make its way into the training data!

The excessive and disproportionate reaction to this whole thing is fascinating. LLMs are accelerating outages left, right, and center; discovering vulnerabilities without fixing them; trillionaires are grifting their way to get the public to hold the bags; frontier labs are taking all data for free without repercussions while blocking everyone else from doing the same.

And yet this "protest" that is intended as a joke is being treated like it undermines an entire trillion dollar empire.

I think this post is the first to show that the emperor has no clothes. Because if enough libraries do it...


"Keeping children safe with AI is a shared responsibility between schools, families, technology companies, and communities."

Alright everyone, here's the deal. Starting tomorrow someone will start putting sweetened alcoholic beverages in all your homes for everyone every morning. You can not opt out of this. In fact, it is expected you and your children will participate. The drinks will also be available in schools. Don't forget, drink responsibly!

Here's a better resource (endorsed by Karen Hao) https://airesistlist.org/


Sure, and for anyone from BC or Vancouver that would like to take that approach, there is a local movement at https://aicaution.ca/

In the meantime, I spend several hours a week talking to parents, teens, and educators who are looking for meaningful guidance on this topic that goes beyond "AI BAD!" and protest, which prompted me to create this resource. Not to mention the requests to help with cyber bullying, online safety and other parenting issues related to connected children over the last 20 years.

In much the same way that folks can push to ban social media, alcohol, sex, drugs, and other vices for children, abstinence and blocking is a path to failure if parents aren't educated.


I thought games need GPU acceleration and React? How is this possible?

Wait, he didn’t have to import 237 NPM packages?

Exactly! Can't even imagine how this runs?

Smirks and shruggs...


Well, hmm. well.. how many jira tickets were needed?

there are terminal emulators that are GPU accelerated to be fair, so in a sense this game would get GPU accelerated?

I wonder if the original source code is in the training data somehow?

The world is run by actors, saying lines to make other lines go up.

Hmm, so you're telling me, if I am a maintainer of a popular open source library, I can make my library spit out logs to trigger this degraded behavior, and then no one will know?

Breaking: AI fixes 10 year old vulnerability!

guys. what the fuck. are we even doing.

We are ever-faster approaching the Anti Singularity, the moment when everything "tech" implodes and progress screeches to a halt.

What if this is "The Great Filter?" [Ominous music plays in the background]

We've got a few candidates for that on the go and this is for sure one of them.

It's not like they're mutually exclusive. In fact, multiple candidates seem to be quite sympathetic in their feedback loops.

That would be when we've automated stuff to the point where [machinery breaking down] causes a large majority of humans to die from starvation.

And then go on to repeat that mistake by re-building without using the lessons from previous catastrophe(s).

Sadly that last part sounds fairly common for humans... 8-|

So yeah. Maybe. Possible.


We're already there since without the Haber–Bosch process billions would starve.

Downloading OpenBSD and going off-grid. How about you?

getting deeper and deeper. the question is what goes one when breaches reach opensource-based stuff running nuclear reactors. i'd be concerned.

People say nuclear reactors are completely safe if properly constructed and operated and the waste danger is overblown if properly managed.

There aren't many institutions extant today that I could trust to properly construct and operate a nuclear reactor, never mind manage nuclear waste for the next 100000 years.

The Trump government just decided that there is an acceptable level to irradiate the population by the way (abandoned the linear-no-threshold model of radiation's effects on an organism)
