Replying to
@wbai@bird.makeup In fact, I've been warning about the dismantling of guardrails since the rise of so-called "cloud computing" and the constant leaking of sensitive data across networks. Generative or hybrid AI systems add fuel to this fire because they are mostly probabilistic, and humans can have difficulty communicating their goals or intentions to them. In the machine learning literature that's broadly called "the alignment problem."

@wbai@bird.makeup We were already moving in this direction with a very dangerous and insecure Internet, but now the pace has increased and the amount of effort it requires to inflict large-scale damage has decreased.

Replying to
@wbai@bird.makeup But it's also a familiar problem for management of any system with complexity, as military and economic history warns us. I don't see LLMs as being uncontrollable, at least not in some way where we should think about them as distinct and different from other software. Where #infosec is concerned, the problems we're facing are mainly the increasing scale and frequency of attacks coupled with decreasing knowledge and effort on the part of human operators.

I'm not sure why there's some much controversy about the Odyssey. I sat down in a theater for the first time in years to see it. Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Bernthal were all great but I was disappointed with Mark Ruffalo's "Hulk" character. Overall though it was Marvelous.

Replying to

@kevinrns@mstdn.social Thanks Kevin! that's actually done on purpose for two reasons:

  1. we don't want to automatically inherit a pile of hashtags from the posts we're boosting, as that creates a mess of hrefs for the reader.

  2. We can end up in an endless loop because, for example, we boost anything tagged #FSF automatically.

Removing the hashtags entirely or altering the # to another character makes many posts difficult to read. So this is our compromise solution.
