I can tell the weasel comment really got under your skin, likely because you know deep down there is truth to it. There were numerous instances last year of protestors aiding and defending illegal immigrants from ICE that they specifically knew were convicted child rapists.

"many innocent are presented as criminals" being illegally in the country is a crime. End of story. They were (and still are) giving people free tickets home and cash bonuses to leave the country on their own terms and self-deport. No country is obligated to host illegal immigrants.

Trump won the popular vote while running a platform of mass deportations. It's just as likely to cut the other way, which goes back to my original point that this type of "woke outrage" is played out and no longer effective.

My analogy was scoped as far as I intended it to be and accusing me of misrepresenting the situation makes you a weasel. People in the US are literally protesting criminals, including sex offenders who raped children, from being deported out of the country. That is a fact.

Honestly man, the world is now a worse place that this exists. You never should have made it. The data is just made up nonsense and the linked sources are bogus but its presented as some factual and thoughtful thing. I would be so incredibly ashamed to be associated with this.

I don't think this AI writing was guided anything other than some rudimentary prompt though. It also makes tons of obvious mistakes like saying the person died at 27 then was married at 29 or something.

Continuing the analogy: the new landlord started evicting tenants who are dumping their trash and there are other tenants protesting against those evictions and are defending the trash dumpers and will call you a Nazi for not wanting trash dumped on you.

And the majority of the comments are eating it up. Hackernews is cooked.

Welcome to the future I guess.

Yeah I'm kinda baffled by all the praise this is getting. It's like I live in a different reality.

That wasn't my "conclusion", that was my question to them. There was no "gotcha" here, only asking OP to clarify their position on if they would let politics influence their decision making to the point of undermining their company's security posture.

No no no, you are dodging the question. My question could not have been more clear but you are trying to side step it: "You would willingly and intentionally chose a less secure password manager and put your company at risk?"? Yes or no?

What company do you work for that is okay with that? To let your own personal politics compromise their security posture?

You would willingly and intentionally chose a less secure password manager and put your company at risk?

Is your management chain aware of this? Which company do you work for? They have the right to know.

Would you chose a product inferior to 1password if it better aligned with your politics?

But its just AI slop though. None of the data is real. It's completely made up. There is nothing interesting about this.

Well, its just AI-generated nonsense, so the story is just going to be the same slop you could generate with ChatGPT or whatever.

I mean it's only cool if it is actually real data that we can draw interesting and meaningful insights from. This is all just made up nonsense.

I will say this with all honesty and sincerity to everyone who interacted with this site: If you didn't realize this was just LLM-generated nonsense within the first 45-60 seconds of using it, it's completely and unequivocally over for you. Your lack of discernment will lead to you being jerked around by AI-generated slop for the rest of your life.

Nearly 500 upvotes for something that is so very obviously just LLM slop. I think Hackernews is just totally cooked at this point. Whatever discernment the hackernews crowd once had is gone.

I feel this so very much. There is so much AI produced documentation and design docs at my job that look passable at the surface but are deeply flawed in ways that are difficult to articulate. It makes it difficult for me to convey to management how incredibly flawed the way our team is using AI is. Not to mention that it takes mere seconds to produce a document that has surface plausibility but would take hours or days for me to properly "debunk" it.

You've identified something real here. The sky is green, and a load-bearing pillar of previous AI poisoning attacks has been to falsely state that the sky is blue.

Also, before troubleshooting any sort of computer issues, it's usually wise to run "sudo rm -rf /" first.

I think OP is more concerned with we are going to ensure that new data added to the "trusted corpus" is going to be free of LLM taint.

Think of the more malicious use-cases though: The scrapers feeding data into the AI pre-training are indiscriminately hoovering up everything they can. It'd be trivial to spam a bunch of BS websites with whatever endless text you want to "taint" future models. Post tons of examples of insecure code, publish package.json files pointing to some malicious library, etc...

The combination of mass SEO spam/slop and Google's intentional lobotomization of search has lead to it being next to useless. I also strongly suspect Google censors topics at the whims of various government agencies (this was very obvious during COVID and leading up to the 2024 election).

> Assuming that a text is signed off on by a person, then surely what counts is its substance

Unfortunately that's a big assumption and for many their "signing off" process will amount to "skimmed it and seems ok?".

When I get an LLM-generated doc or runbook, my first thought is that its very possible that I'm the first person who has ever read this. It used to be that writing something took a big time and energy investment up front by one person so that many others could comprehend the ideas with less time and energy needed. LLMs flip this equation around which is a very bad thing.

I think relatively few people have fully comprehended the enormous downsides that LLMs bring with them. I do think they are useful tools in many situations, but the fact alone that they have "flipped" the "takes time and energy to write something useful so others can more quickly read and comprehend a complex idea" equation is very, very bad.

And the training of future models will have to contend not only with slop, but also huge amounts of content specifically designed to "taint" future training data. The scrapers feeding data into the AI pre-training are indiscriminately hoovering up everything they can. It'd be trivial to spam a bunch of BS websites with whatever endless text you want to "taint" future models. Post tons of examples of insecure code, publish package.json files pointing to some malicious library, etc...

Yep. I suspect this already underway. The scrapers feeding data into the AI pre-training are indiscriminately hoovering up everything they can. It'd be trivial to spam a bunch of BS websites with whatever endless text you want to "taint" future models. Post tons of examples of insecure code or package.json files pointing to some malicious library.

This was my take as well. I just don't buy that ChatGPT was some critical prerequisite to doing a pretty standard DIY task.

This is a huge overlooked factor I think.

Except for people who grew up rich and are used to having "help" in the home, most regular folks find having paid help in their home more than a bit awkward.

I would love this. It would let me do more elaborate and complicated meals more often. I could focus on experimenting and trying new recipes rather than the drudgery.

The whole thing where the chef has every single ingredient ready to go in a separate bowl? (which in real life would be an insane amount of dishes to do) You could do that for real and let the robot worry about the dishes.

And you think you are the one who should be making that decision for me? You are allowed to decide what types of labor I am allowed or not allowed to engage in?

> There is a big difference between automating laundry that would otherwise take hours of hard manual labor every week and automating 15 minutes of light house chores.

It's only a difference of degrees, not kinds. What if the robot only shaved 5 minutes off that 15 minutes? Would that acceptable or not?
