Next time anyone claims they're using LLMs for "minor cleanup" or the like, send them this (from Google no less!)
"We find that even when LLMs are prompted with expert feedback and asked to only make grammar edits, they still change the text in a way that significantly alters its semantic meaning."

@mttaggart Suddenly my wife's friend with the masters in English doing his resume via chatbot makes more sense (sadly)

@iris_meredith@mastodon.social I suspect you hit the dual problems of a) they want to invest in *something* gods dammit and b) some of those nepobabies are *their* failsons gods dammit
Alright erryone, what's your preferred (incremental) remote backup? Is it still Tarsnap?
I'm from Edmonton (Alberta), my family's there, and I hate these fucking Alberta independence people with the fire of ten thousand suns

@hipsterelectron @SecureOwl I'm assuming an undiscerning scraper would get the url from the qr and add it to its list of links

@iris_meredith@mastodon.social "people who currently have good engineering judgement dislike LLM tools" -- that "current" seems key to me, and is probably a whole post in itself

@hipsterelectron Amazon's a big place, who knows where images would go internally
That said, it's also possible it's the camera software the driver used, some of those will eagerly fetch urls from qrs -- @SecureOwl you should probably bear that in mind

@foolishowl I use Micro when I can, it's much nicer than Nano, supports copy/cut/paste properly, allows multiple cursors, etc. Like a TUI Sublime Text in some ways.

I've been wary of any kind of automated "provenance", because anything that's automated can be hijacked, and cryptographic assurances which reduce to "it was built in our CI runner" are pretty useless

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange I would love to see more of that, but there's a minimum size in practical terms, I think -- you have to be able to offer the equivalent of multiple AWS AZs, multiple long-term-stable exclusive IPv4 addresses, a properly HA DNS stack, etc
