In the fediverse since 2017. I mostly talk sports. If something on the internet doesn't spark joy, mute it.

Do not yell at me simply because I am in front of you and the people responsible for the problems are not. It is extremely unpleasant.

  • FBI Got Grok to Hand Over Prompts Used to Create Nonconsensual Porn

    Jump

  • I mean, most llm makers work pretty hard to conceal the system prompt, and I have no idea why XAi would give Grok access to a database of historical prompts. LLMs don’t have memories by default, and their inability to learn from past experiences is kind of a big stumbling point for a lot of folks. You can ask, but I doubt you’re likely to get anything other than a confabulation.

  • I think I like the draft headline better, despite it’s clunkiness.

  • People commenting after only reading the headline and not the article is exactly the behavior I find irritating and distasteful about headline-related complaints.

  • I’m usually against complaints about poor headlines, but this one is completely factually incorrect? The FBI didn’t interact with Grok here literally at all? They issued a search warrant to X to get their logs?

  • Will the U.S. confirm that aliens exist before 2027? (27%)

  • Given its formulation, I would be inclined towards “yes,” despite the fact that I do not believe the United States government has conclusive evidence of extraterrestrial life. The proposition is only that the White House claims it, and the Trump administration has shown that it is willing to lie to distract from the litany of horrors, and they love to contradict former president Obama.

  • Read the diffs. Not all of them.

    How do you write this whole article and come to the conclusion you can merge unread diffs?

  • Wikipedia blacklists Archive.today, starts removing 695,000 archive links

    Jump

  • Any good archiver will check for an archived copy before making a request, and batch requests. This was very different than the attack you’re imagining — if you opened any archive.today page, it would poll a developer’s personal blog, regardless of whether you were interacting with content from that blog.

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, they’ve allegedly modified the contents of some archived articles, so even though they may do better to archive, nothing archived is of any value because it cannot be trusted.

  • How far back in time can you understand English?

  • I get the gist of 1200, but 1100 is inscrutable. If you’re having trouble through 1300 and 1400, my best advice is to read it aloud — your ear is better than your eye.

  • It does more to handle client-side rendering than archive.org, so there are pages that could be rendered by today that were not archivable by org. Also, because of differing usage patterns, it has archives of pages that org didn’t, and even for pages that org does have, at times org doesn’t.

  • Deeply saddening. Archive.today was a great resource, and stored a vast repository of human knowledge. As the internet turns to slop, we need sites that preserve the history of the web more than ever, and it’s very disappointing that the team at archive.today has failed us so profoundly in our hour of greatest need.

    Even based boomerware like IRC has to play second fiddle to them.
