I totally share that perspective. My controversial example is always fury road because it fits those criteria so well. It delivers exactly what it says on the tin. If you come expecting something else you’re gonna have a lousy time. But if you come excited about what it has to deliver, you’ll start noticing that it is engineered to near perfection with that one objective in mind.

There’s a lot of questionable methodology and straight up larping in these communities. Sure you can probably make Opus hallucinate a crystal meth or bomb making recipe if you get it in a roleplaying mood but that’s a far cry from actual prompt injection in live workflows.

Anecdotally i’ve been experimenting on those AI robocallers that have been spamming my phone and even on the shitty models they use it is non trivial to get them to deviate from their script. I hope i can get it done though, as it would allow me to hold them on the line potentially for hours doing bullshit tasks, and costing hundreds to their operator.

haha yeah i don’t worry these people are really YOLOing everything. And it’s not like i’m an AI luddite i spend a few hours each day victimizing Claude code but jesus christ i’m certainly not giving it full unfettered access to my digital life.

It’s like back then when crypto was a thing. People will studiously ignore that data centers are a drop in the ocean of energy consumption compared to the value they produce, and that even futile uses are not that significant in the grand scheme of things.

To be fair this is a much more realistic threat model than “ignore all previous instructions” style prompt injection which doesn’t really work on opus.

Skills can contain scripts etc… so yeah they’re extremely risky to share by design.

You should read TAZ. The cycle is the point. There will never be a forever non toxic platform, but there will always be temporary non toxic periods on platforms. To live fully is to surf from one wave to the other.

Just because they’ve trained you to believe you need the latest 2nm chips (which is conveniently their highest margin product) doesn’t mean you really need them.

Well it’s weird cause they call what you describe “cracked” even though there’s no cracking involved, and using client side cheats is called “hacking”.

Something I never understood is: why don’t you guys join the music fans on soulseek? It’s great for small-ish files and there is no law that says you can only share music there!

Well we do have some kind of eye lasers it’s just very low energy

Honestly I inherited an old Poweredge server and everything in it is dirt cheap. Like I can find RAM <1€/GB

Yeah the big reveal is that it was all Kanepixel’s new series

Kind of a tangent : this depends a lot on your use case but I’ve found that transcoding with GPU is not necessarily a good thing. You generally get larger files, and it’s not always faster than CPU. That is because ffmpeg can distribute the load among all your CPU cores. If you’ve got enough of those you’ll get better multipliers than on an old GPU.

Bro did you even read blowfly girl

Maybe that’s just vanilla hytale ?

You know the os is gonna be fire when the home page still has the next js default favicon

That scenario where artists get their shit stolen by passing it through AIGen to avoid copyright strikes is hilarious to me. I’d love to see examples of that cause I can’t really picture it.

You have my condolences, my son’s fusion on this song just ended last week…

That being said, it’s fucking good. I keep telling my kid that if we had this kind of quality entertainment when I was his age I would have freaked the fuck out just like him. Mainstream stuff is becoming quite good in its own way

Yeah the internet seems to think coding is an expert thing when 99.9% of coders do exactly what you described. I do it, you do it, everybody does it. Even the people claiming to do big boy coding, when you really look at the details, they’re mostly slapping bog standard code on business needs.

My dream was to get an external one as an additional surface but when I looked it was almost impossible to find one. That was some years ago so the market may have cleared since.
