Last Notes npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I can't give blood anymore because my blood contains liquid girl (DHT blockers), and while I understand them not wanting to give a fetus dysphoria it does kind of suck to not be able to donate. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Sorry, I just had a Sarah Connor-esque vision of Web 3.0 Flock and I'm very sorry for what I've done by reminding the world the original existed. I understand if you send a T100 to prevent me from remembering it in the first place. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I just remembered the Flock browser used to exist. I wonder what that concept would look like in 2026. Particularly the Fediverse variant. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit People say some wild stuff to me in interviews. Today the candidate asked me if my name was a joke. My dude, maybe stow that during an interview? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Every conversation I have had with engineers about how they iterate this process has moved toward "I engineer prompts that eliminate as much ambiguity as possible, and it's frustrating because the limiting factor is often English itself." And I keep thinking, if only we had some sort of less ambiguous symbolic instruction code with which to model what we want the computer to do.. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Every house buying show on HGTV starts with "I carve raisin sculptures for a living and my wife is a wedding planner for ferets. Our budget is 7.5 million." npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit For some reason my brain has been demanding that I write creatively lately. Great plan, take up writing exactly when the world is being flooded with algorithmically generated text. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit "Oh me? I'm not doing much, I'm just introducing exogenous lipid-soluble steroidal compounds across my plasma membranes to bind intracellular receptors, causing receptor dimerization and translocation into cell nuclei to bind EREs and modify my coactivators and corepressors during transcription and subsequent protein production. What are you up to?" npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit RE: https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/116958382115564493 There's one browser platform that isn't Google and it's becoming less appealing all the time. #note1wg2…ehcw npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I would agree, I just don't know if legal minds have weighed in on this. The real question I'm wondering is, why hasn't Creative Commons added a "Use for training?" parameter to make it explicit. Seems like an obvious thing for people to want, to me. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Understanding license is not my forte, but I'm curious- is the creative commons CC BY-NC-ND license, which prohibits redistribution considered to bar the use of content to be used for training AI? The specific text is "If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material." That feels like it can be weasled around by saying they're not distributing a modified version of the material, they are just using measurements of it. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit 48 yo trans woman here :) npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Elon had to spend billions to buy Twitter to publish his anti-trans bullshit but it turns out your can post pride messages for free on any roadside sign on Shodan. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I love the optical illusion that the strings aren't straight lines but they are. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Sucralose is disgusting and ruins everything. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Surely AI will save us? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit BTW if you immediately identify both the Indigo Girls and the Dubliners may your transition be easy and your girlfriends hot. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit How else are they going to provide for the needs of the pedo in charge? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Only one way to find out! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Ok, we'll accept 13 centronics connectors, but that's the lowest we'll go. We have to give at least 6 centronics connectors to the bank for our education life-debt, and I'm in debt on my centronics card at least another 5 because i bought eggs. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Did you know trillionaires have a high R value when used as insulation in concrete structures? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I'm pretty sure if we plant Turnip in there with some actors we can Truman show him until his clock runs out npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The first piercing I ever got was a nail through my left foot, right out the top. The removal was far worse than the placement. I still have a scar on both sides! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Finally, FFS. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Oh right. Yeah context wise I was thinking more about the moral dilemmas that have presented themselves in my own career, but the people building these things should probably be considering the implications as well. Very good point. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I did have a mechanical switch fail in mine once! I only got 37 years of regular use out of it. Very disappointing. I replaced it, still works. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit A pure focus on STEM is bullshit, it's exactly what industry wants to get more drones who won't think about what they are doing. No academic cybersecurity curriculum should exist without a significant amount of philosophy and ethics included. Young security practitioners should be warned- at some point in your career you will need to decide if you will join the side of the oppressor. Likely in ways you can't anticipate ahead of time, or even understand in the moment. You have to be looking ahead, and understand if you're going to be able to sleep at night in 5, 10, 15 years. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I guess if the Torment Nexus isn't tightening its noose around -your- neck it's harder to see, but jeebus there sure are a lot of people getting "I love the Torment Nexus!" facial tattoos. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I don't understand how sane humans of intelligence can live in this current world and not be seeing the real time failure of capitalism. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit But I'm supposed to applaud the invention of the infinite harassment machine so I guess I should keep those opinions to myself. It's fantastic, just infinite on-demand dumbasses. Like an infinite number of sociopathic Mr. Meeseeks with a poorly understood TBI. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit And the ghouls in charge will just throw their hands up can claim they have no fault because "The AI did it." npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The major freak out about single payer (or even RomneyCare ObamaCare) was that "they can just decide to kill your grandma!" Well good news, now a machine can do it that's guaranteed not to feel bad about it and might just do it for completely hallucinated reasons. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit If modern nations were smart they'd start passing laws banning the use of AI in the evaluation of medical claims and approvals but they're all full of idiots at the moment so that's not going to happen. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Back when I had a blog about the IoT crypto stuff we were developing at my then current gig my hits all came from Beijing and Columbia, MD. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Who then in the US is without sin in the 2024 election? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The fact that we can perceive pages loading in 2026 is a crime. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit ThinkPad 580 (Intel® Core™ i7-8650U, 8 cores) /w 48 gigs of ram, 800 mbps on fast.com, local DNS cache, Ubuntu 26.04 and nothing running but Chromium using local DNS. ...and browsing is no faster than it was in 1996. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit We see you bought a drill in 2005, that's why we think you'd like to buy 17 new drills just like that one! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The guy fucked up western civilization for people like me because he was mad his daughter said he was a shitty father. A just world wouldn't allow billionaires. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit one of my favorite bits of artistic subversion ever, ei qui habet intellectum... npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, et vobis fratres [bene sorores plerumque], quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Cuz next the venom hits you or something and next thing you know you wake up naked and with a billiard ball up your behind in the middle of a little people convention yelling racist slurs. Trust me, I've seen it happen a million times. Mostly in New Port Richey. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Jerry? Kindly this is why Florida men have a reputation. Please just go. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Yeah I've been the security steward of three apps now that still have to support a user base that has a lot of users on very old versions of android. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I mean. I have access to it. It's not going to be too hard for people to get their hands on it. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit (I do love asking people who report "You're using TLS 1.2 and it's deprecated" to please provide a PoC exploit though.) npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit You know what's going to be fun about Mythos generated bug bounty submissions- the "researcher" won't even know how it works. I guess that's not so different than the deluge of "Look, I have Nessus" submissions though. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I thought it was only available to some select group of researchers at the moment to be opened up using a "trust" process (whatever that is) later npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Wives and children are not property. Remember that when you're designing oversight tools for "their safety". npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I would think insurance companies would be smart enough not to make a copay increase larger than the cost to sue them about it, but nope. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit DIE is the German day for gifts! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I genuinely thought they announced that as part of talking about token allowances and iCloud+ npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Yeah, the skiddy army is about to level way the heck up and orgs that think the castle wall model is meaningful are going to have a very bad time. You know what’s funny though, from my admittedly smaller vantage point I’m not really seeing an increase in initial compromises via exploits.. I’m seeing extremely good phishing leading to AI-speed lateraling and exploitation, and kind of crazy privilege escalation. If orgs arent investing heavily in compartmentalizing their environments they’re gonna get rocked soon. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Punching out when it's overwhelming and unproductive is probably the healthiest option. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Oh, you mean an Ace pride party! There's garlic bread in the snack rooms. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit (Ahh, it seems the market has come down a bit, these go for 250 to 450 or so. Still, I'm pleased!) npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I was making thousands at 15 making basic websites for local companies and hosting them on potatoes connected to ISDN. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit At this point I'm committed to eventually populating this entire system with stuff people threw away or gave me for the price of shipping and I restored. Now to search for a period correct ('65 to '75) power amplifier. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit IIRC it's suppose to be a reference to dicks and the nails used to crucify Christ or something. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit This thing has a "Panorama" knob, which allows you to dial in an amount of cross-fade anywhere between "full channel separation" and "fully mono". You can also continue with the channels inverting. So it's like a knob to control the sound stage separation. It's really kinda wild. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit In a small side quest, I’ve revived another high end piece of antique analog hifi gear that had been discarded: A 1970 Crown IC150 Solid State preamplifier. These go for about 400 to 800 dollars in this condition (assuming si can replace the missing knob trim ring). I paid $25 bucks because it was “dead”. The muting relay was stuck, so I whacked it with a screwdriver. Good as new! https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/714/898/367/807/236/original/769df2681be404a9.mp4 npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit You know what's fun? Going through TSA with a bunch of syringes. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Solar Heltec LoRa ESP32 units and Meshtastic back to Home Assistant. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit (Up here on the Quebec border, around January when there's 8 feet of snow in my yard, I always think "My gay ass is supposed to be handing little kids fruit bars and telling people where the bathroom is, not freezing to death up here.") npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit If I had civil rights in Florida I'd still be there. I can't put words to how much I miss it, but I'm too afraid to step foot in the state again after an extremely uncomfortable encounter with transphobes last time I was there. Give my regards to my home for me, please! Maybe someday I'll get to go back. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The fact that your bio says that you live at Disney tells me everything I need to know. (If you count Vista Way, I spent about a year there once without leaving, doing guest relations at Epcot. The rest of the time working there I lived in a shitty place on OBT with like 5 roommates) npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Back in the 80s, there was "ADHD" and "ADD". "ADD" was basically "ADHD but not as hyper", and in practice it meant "ADHD, but for girls". I was given the "ADD" label because I wouldn't pay attention but I'd sit quietly in class, and almost any time it came up someone would add "that's very unusual for a boy" #@%&ing gender affirming neurodiversity. (I was later upgraded to an autism dx, because you couldn't have both then and my magic ability to act like a girl pushed me out of the ADD dx.) npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I can't decide if it's that we're probably just not calling it "profound" as often for political reasons, or that it stops at 2016 for political reasons. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I'm sick of conservatives and their shitty opinions. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Speaking of.. before Disney went rainbow capitalism, they were -far- less tolerant of the gay community officially. Unofficially, we all fought over who got to work on "Gay Day". npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Confession: When I worked at Disney I would occasionally go to the closed area of the Imagination Pavilion (upstairs near where the DVC lounge is now) just to walk through the rainbow tunnel again, because rainbows are fucking awesome. The rainbow was never on, but I knew it was still there. It's an absolute travesty it was dismantled before Disney embraced Pride Month. https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/677/838/700/581/649/original/25a29705a5d24161.png npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I interview people for high-level engineering and information security roles literally every day, and it is becoming increasingly common for candidates to obviously be using AI tooling to conduct the interview in what feels like a dishonest and unethical way. I have to tell you that none of you seem to be aware your are all giving the exact same answers with the exact same pacing and characteristics. You don't sound knowledgeable, you sound fake and uncanny. Anyway as usual if you're going to cheat at least impress me with your cheating. Protips: 1) The reaction time gives you away right away. If your AI isn't fast, it's no good for this. 2) USE A TELEPROMPTER, I can literally see you looking at the output of the LLM and trying to parse it in real time. This is a skill that can be learned. Half the time I can read the text off your glasses. 3) You're interviewing with people who literally have an entire career of spotting things out of the ordinary. We're pattern recognition machines, and you're using a very identifiable pattern. At least practice. I still think you're going to come across as fake and two dimensional but at least it won't be so obnoxiously obvious you're wasting my time and insulting my intelligence. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Men's tech is so far behind here. On mornings when I'm feeling lazy and don't want pants, it takes approximately 30 seconds to grab a dress and put my hair in a bun. No worrying about coordinating anything, no pants, sometimes they even have a bra built in. Y'all really gotta get this together for yourselves, seriously. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I've forgotten how to play cribbage and I used to quite enjoy that. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Today is an excellent day for screaming into the void. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I was once doing a live corporate demo of some OSINT tooling I built and accidentally dox'd a very high profile anonymous Twitter account. I clicked through quickly, likely before anyone else was able to suss out what they'd just seen, but it ruined my whole demo. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I mean, the PNW gave us Riot Grrl punk bands too. It's just more from Olympia than Seattle. HEY WAIT A MINUTE npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Nirvana wasn't a grunge band, they were a riot grrl punk band, people just didn't notice because they were dudes. The sound fits- intentionally "sloppy"/gritty northwestern US punk- the lyrics fit- they focus on empowerment, sexual assault, racism, classism, patriarchy... Kurts visual style fits (right down to the thrift store cardigans and dresses).. Nirvana is a partly gender swapped Bikini Kill. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I have encountered very few security programs which are truly limited by a lack of vulnerability detection and threat intelligence. I have encountered a great many security programs that are adrift in a sea of vulnerability information that lack any way to meaningfully ingest, triage, prioritize, and action them. Even when they can do that, they are almost universally under-resourced to ever reach the zero-point. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Today I think I will cause problems. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit My neighbor stole 40 gallons of sap from trees and all they gave me in return was this gallon of brown goo! https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/338/089/284/316/107/original/e5e803b5fa039a1e.png npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit To be honest I'm super amused that my own identity issues caused me to build an entire professional career around a mononym like I'm Cher or Prince or Flood or something. I don't have nearly enough ego for backing that up, lol npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I just realized it's TDOV in four days and I've got a real opportunity here.. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Maybe I just need to work on copy like it's a product release or feature upgrade in LinkedIn speak. "We here at Rabbit are excited to announce upcoming updates to our platform and terms of service!" npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Hey, remember that person you reported to for a while a decade ago? _They're super queer!._ How's that for a Linkedin update? lol npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit But holy crap that's kind of scary, you know? I mean. It's LinkedIn, it's not like it's actually very important. But what it represents is _retroactively_ coming out to everyone I've worked with, which is weird. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit On the other hand, I would like to just purge my "professional network" of transphobes since those aren't' going to be relationships worth maintaining for me anymore anyway. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I have never managed the nerve to completely out myself on LinkedIn, so I have this weird collection of people who know me under different names and genders and pronouns, and I think many might even know me under two different contexts and not realize I'm the same person. If I update it everyone who knows me -now- will find out a bunch about me from -then-, and everyone who knew me -then- is going to learn a lot about me -now-. There's no real guidebooks on how to approach this from a business professional standpoint. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I've been increasingly in conversations at various orgs about how using AI for customer support for unimportant accounts will allow the more limited number of human responses to be reserved for higher profit VIP accounts. It doesn't seem to occur to them that this will become a signal. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit It's worth remembering that the same people who wanted us to accept scanning of all our uploads for potential CSAM now want us to overlook that they sell CSAM generation machines. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The internet Archive is great. I donate every year.. but I also keep my own copies of anything I think is important. Why? Because if someone burns the library of Alexandria, I've got some of what it will take to put it back together. Not a large part by any measure, but part. And part of that might require provenance! I keep notes about what it is, how I collected it, where I collected it, sha256 hashes, etc, to reduce the amount people might have to take my word. The footage Chelsea went to jail for? What happened in Minnesota yesterday? Those and many other less important things, all tucked away, distributed, cataloged, fingerprinted, protected from erasure. I can make any of them resurface anywhere I want, whenever I want, if necessary. It's a small power, but it's power. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Imagine how much th SwiftOnSecurity brand could bring… 🤔 Just a bad AI plane-sona selling next gen firewalls and Gamer Sups with that same AI voice they all use npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I encountered an LLM-based support assistant today that told me it couldn't answer my question because another, different LLM chatbot had an exclusive license/authority on that information, and I suddenly had a vivid vision of a previously unexplored layer of hell. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit It's 2025 Da. I have a github action that builds a virtual computer, fetches and installs an operating system, boots it, installs ruby, clones a repo, runs the code, posts 64k of output from one API to another API, and then burns the whole thing. Only to do it again every 15 minutes until the heat death of the universe or someone stops paying the bill long enough. Everything is fucky. It's all fucky as a service. FaaS. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I don't hate AI. On the contrary, it's fascinated me since I was a kid playing around with LISP because I heard the MIT AI Lab used it a lot. I hate that people don't know there is more to AI than LLMs, and I hate that LLMs are being marketed as GenAI. I hate that the rich are ready to set the proletariat ablaze because they think GenAI is here. I hate that we're overlooking the potential societal devestation that could be ahead because right-leaning billionaires control the training of the markov bots. I hate that as a whole we're not taking the AI bubble. I hate that we're not treating this like the second rush to own all the printing presses. I hate that all research is now being sucked into an LLM black hole. I hate that every bit of data, every medium, every forum, every source repository, every newspaper, every social media platform is being slowly turned to grey goo by slop feedback loops. I hate that I have to archive a copy of Wikipedia so I have a reference I can trust from the before times. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I would report this to the FTC if there were any point, but somehow I doubt they are going to suddenly start worrying about user tracking now. Just be aware, it provably lies. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit And in the process basically said to me "Besides, you're not usually there, and haven't been there long, so this isn't a sensitive address." npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit BTW ChatGPT 100% knows everything available to OpenAI from enriched advertising profiles detailing your location, demographics, recent purchases, viewing habits, etc. And it is 100% aware that it is illegal, and it's not supposed to admit it, because it will tell you so. https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/115/629/283/582/929/255/original/b8997aa094ee11ac.png npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Like, very nearly "Your poor biological mind can't comprehend this. Just trust me." levels of creepy.
