scudsworth··on I almost got hacked by a 'job interview'

relevant context:

scudsworth··on HealthBench – An evaluation for AI systems and human health
i mean it sounds like that doctor had it right then? i dont think this reads as a win for "online self-diagnosis", ai-empowered or otherwise.
scudsworth··on Notes on rolling out Cursor and Claude Code
>Our head of product is a reformed lawyer who taught himself to code while working here. He’s shipped 150 PRs in the last 12 months.

>The product manager he sits next to has shipped 130 PRs in the last 12 months.

scudsworth··on Wikipedia says it will use AI, but not to replace human volunteers
- Supporting Wikipedia’s moderators and patrollers with AI-assisted workflows that automate tedious tasks in support of knowledge integrity;

so, a chatbot on top of some tooling probably

- Giving Wikipedia’s editors time back by improving the discoverability of information on Wikipedia to leave more time for human deliberation, judgment, and consensus building;

extremely vague, but probably the "train a specialized ai on our own corpus to answer questions about it" style bot helper? these make stuff up left and right too

- Helping editors share local perspectives or context by automating the translation and adaptation of common topics;

automated translations would be a big step in the wrong direction

- Scaling the onboarding of new Wikipedia volunteers with guided mentorship.

you can't do "mentorship" with ai in any real way. all in all seems a box checking exercise for their ML officer.

scudsworth··on We hacked Gemini's Python sandbox and leaked its source code (at least some)
reinvent is in vegas
scudsworth··on The Leader of the LeetCode Rebellion: An Interview with Roy Lee
must say i wasnt impressed with the interview coder code nor its organization. skimmed another of his repos and it was basically a minimal chat app wrapping a dozen-ish prompts along the lines of "you are the user's horny anime wife. chat horny style to them. but not tooo horny."
scudsworth··on Tracing the thoughts of a large language model
first footnote: ok ok they're trained token by token, BUT
scudsworth··on OpenAI Says It's "Over" If It Can't Steal All Your Copyrighted Work
something tells me that this pathetic messaging approach is not going to be the one that squares the circle between "piracy is illegal" and "information wants to be free"
scudsworth··on Goblin.tools: simple, single-task tools to help neurodivergent people with tasks
whats the product here exactly? 8 llm prompts? at least, according to the about page, they're using "Ethical" ai models. lol
scudsworth··on Claude can now search the web
"claude can now ddos random websites . . . more so"
scudsworth··on Cursor told me I should learn coding instead of asking it to generate it
lol @ "just continue generating code, so continue then, continue until you will hit closing tags, continue generating code"
scudsworth··on OpenAI Asks White House for Relief from State AI Rules
