woah this chat is still alive?

@JourneymanGeek What’s the case for Matrix?

Also, has anyone here looked into Session? Seems marginally better than Signal though less established

@nobody yeah, a lot of their cracks are part of a puzzle transaction + from a previous version of the blockchain that was easier

need greater n

@nobody I tried this with someone who couldn't code and they failed miserably

do you guys think that an arbitrary not-technically-skilled but intelligent 12-14 year old could figure out how to write skid-level spyware with a couple hours and gpt-4?

Are there even greybeards that frequent this chat?

I meant moreso people settled into their field

Haha

Very curious about whether the older generation is embracing AI as a tool

Do y’all use ChatGPT/the other models in your work?

@Frittata there’s also a slightly more reproducible glitch with petertodd

To the point where I don’t really see a point in raising kids anymore

Commentary on the new advent of transformers: their potential for chem, bio, and other hard sciences is large but spread across both negative and positive impact, AGI will probably be bad, and humans are being slowly (but it’s ramping up!) devalued

Hi. Haven’t been here in a while, glad to see the chat is semi active again :)

obligatory "tinfoil hats can actually amplify the feared signals" hacks.mit.edu/Hacks/by_year/2005/tinfoil_hats

That is hilarious thanks for the laugh

@FireQuacker the schneier article got posted on hacker news and there was a whole conversation in comments about that, so you are certainly not the only one

nice

@forest Can't confirm that, I don't use it often enough, sorry

Yup

Year or so

disclaimer: I got mine through a free code on a forum, I think my account isn't compromised because of that but I'm not sure (to be honest, details are fuzzy on how their whole signup flow worked)

Sure!

@forest

me!

Woah

A lot of other really creative applications of chatGPT can be found on twitter; there was a craze for a couple of hours involving breaking out of the canned "I cannot answer this question" blurbs (hypotheticals tend to work well)

Oops indeed o.o

Is the data still accessible? If it is, reporting it means there isn't a fix, and that's absolutely not the way to go. If is isn't, I'd hit up a mental health professional to gauge the impact of disclosure, and work from there. Like @CaffeineAddiction said, better find out from the line itself than some random, but if there isn't personally identifying information, the risk of that depends on the size/diversity of the userbase

Good point, though SE has anti-bruteforcing-logins in place, no?

@nobody You must be patient. Bide your time, create at least 20-50 of accounts at random intervals, use them to vote on random questions every once in a while, have them ask questions (duplicates, GPT-generated, who knows) then after a period of more than a year, you start voting more often on your alt accounts' questions, still maintaining votes on other random accounts. Boom, successful if not super useful voting ring

@forest Does SE have anti-voting-ring measures?

s/intelligent hackers/people

I'm sure one of the big tech companies will snap it up, Elon Musk will suffer a p large loss, the company will spend way too much money on building the reputation back, and it'll end up even worse than it started!

@nobody Depends on the price :)

I also believe that's likely. He'll keep it going for a few months and then things will start falling apart slowly (technologically and in moderation), at which point he'll try to keep it for a few more months, probably attempt to change some core features, people will rapidly start leaving and he'll sell

@JourneymanGeek you're right, number of employees has probably gone down since I last checked

@JourneymanGeek if you're referencing the politics-based quits, I can't attest to that - my feed is a combination of neuroscience researchers and random people into infosec/CS, most of which are staying pretty neutral and creating mastodon accounts but continuing to use twitter (often bridging both accounts)

@forest When the employee count is cut in half it does kind of make you wonder about stability. While some people are certainly leaving the platfrom over socio-political views, there are a fair amount that are also just predicting some form of collapse because of concrete managerial decisions to my understanding

I can now be found at @[email protected]. Was never a big twitter poster though - I think most of its use comes from being able to peek into the datastream (news, conferences, groups) of various subcommunities

@JourneymanGeek nice, thanks

Better safe than sorry I suppose - know any good mastodon/otherwise distributed instances?

Do you guys think twitter is going to die/is it worth moving? I just started building up a useful feed but it looks like a lot of people are now leaving ...

@rene If the token gets sniffed or otherwise hijacked once, that leads to perpetual access to the resource

@nobody oh yea chemistry is hell, good luck!

@nobody What's your most difficult exam?

Technically correct but not very helpful answer: sedatives/anesthetics. If your processing of offensive input is heavily limited, you can't get offended!
