Abzan is big butts. Can remember abzan just has fuckin Seige Rhino too.

Bant is Exalted, whichever you can just remember Heirarch’s colors.

Sultai are the snake ppl which is green Rogues (G + UB, BUG)

I mean, that’s just how it has always worked, this isn’t actually special to AI.

Tom Hanks does the voice for Woody in Toy Story movies, but, his brother Jim Hanks has a very similar voice, but since he isnt Tom Hanks he commands a lower salary.

So many video games and whatnot use Jim’s voice for Woody instead to save a bunch of money, and/or because Tom is typically busy filming movies.

This isn’t an abnormal situation, voice actors constantly have “sound alikes” that impersonate them and get paid literally because they sound similar.

OpenAI clearly did this.

It’s hilarious because normally fans are foaming at the mouth if a studio hires a new actor and they sound even a little bit different than the prior actor, and no one bats an eye at studios efforts to try really hard to find a new actor that sounds as close as possible.

Scarlett declined the offer and now she’s malding that OpenAI went and found some other woman who sounds similar.

Thems the breaks, that’s an incredibly common thing that happens in voice acting across the board in video games, tv shows, movies, you name it.

OpenAI almost certainly would have won the court case if they were able to produce who they actually hired and said person could demo that their voice sounds the same as Gippity’s.

If they did that, Scarlett wouldn’t have a leg to stand on in court, she cant sue someone for having a similar voice to her, lol.

There’s basically no reason to keep using windows.

Debian or Linux Mint are both easy to install, work out of the box, and the only thing that might take a smidge of effort is the 3 commands you gotta run to install gpu drivers.

Steam proton works incredibly well. I ran my entire steam library (most of which were “windows only” games) and even single one worked with proton as is without issues.

I’ve been using steam link from my debian box for months now and it’s smooth as butter.

Well tbh Quests dont really bug you much about anything FB related. After you setup the account the only thing you deal with is the initial menu starts opened to the app store with suggestions based on what you already bought.

But that initial menu let’s you also set quick access buttons for your favorite apps.

So it’s only a single click to go from “put on headsst” to “open thing I want” usually.

It’s not any different from steam starting you out in the store tbh, I can accept that level of advertising as it’s pretty transparent and half the time it has something of interest for me anyways.

It’s about as big of a deal as a gift shop at a museum.

The fact that they prioritized Helluva Boss (which does follow that type of storyline), on their own YouTube (which they have control over), whereas Hazbin was put onto Amazon Prime with only 8 episodes honestly is what I think caused it.

My gut instinct was to assume they had to agree to certain conditions to get onto Amazon Prime and the money from that is what got us Helluva Boss (which if you haven’t watched that, it’s so fuckin good)

It’s a musical, the songs are catchy.

However I disliked how fast paced the writing was, and how even though it’s called “Hazbin Hotel” and the pilot framed it as a sort of slice of life “bunch weirdos” hanging out and getting redemption, instead that weirdly became the B plot?

Somehow they took the whole story and shifted it over to the B plot and pulled this other big high stakes thing out as the A plot.

That’s not really what I was wanting to watch, and it feels a bit like they hit swapped out the story on me, so I kinda got a bit turned off by that.

I don’t give a shit about some high stakes angels vs demons war end game shit.

I wanted to see interpersonal relationships of weirdos learning to co-exist.

Tl;dr: I was expecting something closer to The Good Place, but instead that got side lined by some huge MCU style plot no one asked for.

Yeah in fact you’re giving the llm additional data to train on what poisoned data looks like so it can avoid it better, as they can clear see the before vs after

This seems like it has pretty powerful potential for space flight.

Being able to aggressively min max packaging materials to secure materials could be critical for reducing payload sizes on shuttles, where every single individual gram counts.

Each kg of packaging is thousands of dollars to get into orbit, so that’s really appealing.

I’d be curious to see if Amazon is also working on box packing algorithms for maximizing fitting n parcels across x delivery trucks.

IE if you have 10,00 boxes to move, what’s the fewest delivery trucks you can fit those boxes into as fast as possible too, which introduces multiple complex concepts. Both packing to maximize space usage and the order you pack it in to minimize armature travel time…

I’d put money down amazon is perfecting this algorithm right now, and has been for awhile.

Bruh did you read the article at all? Nothing you talked about has anything to do with what this AI is for.

I use neorg for neovim, specifically I use:Neorg journal today to open up a daily .Norge file that I maintain notes, todo, etc on.

If I need to leave a note for myself for the future, I create a note for that day ahead of time.

Lasse is the original maintainer of XZ, they have been placed back in their position as sole maintainer.

“Jia Tan” was the person who slipped the backdoor into XZ and is now banned.

Lasse has already fixed abd removed the backdoor.

XZ itself is critical software everyone uses (its one of the main compression/decompression programs used on linux)

but the best way to avoid getting them is still to just avoiding stupid shit.

This is fine and dandy on a personal pc, but in a work environment you are now being actively targeted by malicious actors if your company is a good target.

Constantly.

So once you are in that zone you do need some fast acting reactive tools that keep watch for viruses.

The rabies vaccine seems to have an actually higher negative reaction rate in some pets.

We have had 2 of 4 of our ferrets react severely to it on the second shot, of the “emergency midnight trip to the vet” variety.

Here’s key reasons why you can’t compare this to human vaccines:

1. It’s not covered by health insurance. You too would balk at a covid vaccine if it ran you a $600 or so.

2. Pets are way more likely to get injured. Even a small child knows not to flip out and bite a doctor, or jump off the table when getting a needle. Your little dumb fuzzbutt on the other hand very well may attempt this…

3. From what I’ve been told by my vet and some others in the community, the rabies vaccine has an actually higher than usual allergic reaction rate compared to what you are used to seeing. I’ve heard numbers along the lines of 5% to 10%, compared to something like less than 1% of humans reacting to most vaccines.

4. Emergency midnight hospital trips also aren’t covered, and will run you easily another $1000+, whereas if your kid has an emergency at night you still are covered

5. Dosing benadryl for a tiny pet is way harder, it’s way riskier and easier to fuck it up and potentially cause harm. As opposed to how a small child can be given a tsp of children’s benadryl, your looking at like 1/10th of a pill for your pet. Better not have shaky hands or your pet is dead… (or be like me and happen to own a jewelery scale so I can precisely get the dose right)

6. Have you ever even tried to administer benadryl to a pet before? If you haven’t, you have no idea how hard it is. Normally my ferrets are good with meds but benadryl tastes vile to them and they make it very known.

7. Finally, it’s pretty normal for exotic pets to just… never go outside anyways, my ferrets have the run of the house but they’ve only been outside (not in a kennel) a couple times, and they didn’t really like it much. Spent pretty much the entire time climbing up me to get away from scary noises and hiding in my jacket to get away from the wind. When I opened the door to the house they bolted back inside. We don’t do outside time with em anymore, they just don’t super like it as indoor pets. Too loud, too scary, too cold.

So yeah, all the above combined perhaps makes it a bit more understandable why people are leaning away from these shots.

Larger pets like dogs and cats though are much lower risk. They can handle larger doses, aren’t exotic so can be covered by insurance, normally spend lots of time outside, etc etc.

But rabbits? Ferret? Hedgehogs? Etc etc… naaah not honestly terribly worth it. Huge risk for basically zero reward.

Your ferret/rabbit that never steps outside isn’t gonna get rabies.

I primarily use a couple locally hosted LLMs for searching for info now.

Larger LLMs are trained on so much info that they get the answer right surprisingly often.

Only thing they of course struggle with are recent events.

If a website has literally no login system, there’s nothing to phish.

There is honestly no reason to use SSL on a static website that has no login system and just displays some content.

IE a static blog or etc, where the only content on the website is just “look at this stuff, okay thank you!”

Also people are glossing over the capability for it to improve sexual drive.

The “my wife read a slightly spicy book today and now she wants to get it on” trope is well known on social media, AI’s ability to just generate whatever you want likely will boost that.

However, at this time AI is unable to really handle pacing well.

It’s pretty well known that most attempts with current uncensored LLMs tends to produce saucy encounters are… poorly paced.

Good spicy novels have a lot of build up and slow pace, which requires remembering facts from many chapters ago.

Even the top end of massive LLMs lack the memory capacity to last more than a handful of pages before they completely lose the thread.

But hopefully this gets remedied eventually.

For casual users I typically recommend using Cinnamon Desktop, it’s the most Windows-esque UI and will be the easiest for them to pick up and use.

I roll with Cinnamon on Ubuntu and it’s been extremely painless, very simple to get stuff do and shit just works.

I’ve been calling this for awhile now.

I’ve been calling it the Ouroboros effect.

There’s even bigger parts at play the paper didn’t even dig into, and that’s selective bias dye to human intervention.

See at first let’s say an AI has 100 unique outputs for a given prompt.

However, humans will favor let’s say half of em. Humans will naturally regenerate a couple times and pick their preferred “cream of the crop” result.

This will then ouroboros for an iteration.

Now the next iteration only has say 50 unique responses, as half of them have been ouroboros’d away by humans picking the one they like more.

Repeat, each time “half-lifing” the originality.

Over time, everything will get more abd more sameish. Models will degrade on originality as everything muddles into corporate speak.

You know how every corporate website uses the same useless “doesn’t mean anything” jargon string of words, to say a lot without actually saying anything?

That’s how AI is going to local minima to, as it keeps getting selectively “bred” to speak in an appealing and nonspecific way for the majority of online content.

Not related to the article at all mate.

This article is about how many plugins have Bern discovered to have implemented oath in a very insecure way and simply using them can expose your sensitive info you have linked to your chatgpt account.

IE:

1. You connect your github account to your chatgpt account (so you can ask chatgpt questions about your private codebase)

2. You install and use one of many other compromisable weakly implemented plugins

3. Attacker uses the weak plugin to compromise your whole account and can now access anything you attached to your account, IE they can now access your private git repos you hooked up in step 1…

Most of the attack vectors involve a basic (hard to notice) phish attack on weak oath urls.

The tricky part is the urls truly are and look legit. It isn’t a fake url, it actually links to the legit page, but they added some query params (the part after the ? In the url) that compromise the way it behaves

Note that ChatGPT indeed implemented a state parameter, but their state was not a random value, and therefore could be guessed by the attacker.

Bruh wut, rookie mistake.

State is supposed to be mathematically random and should expire fairly quickly.

I always have used a random guid that expires after 10-15 minutes for state, if they try and complete the oauth with an expired state value I reject ad ask them to try again.

Also yeah the redirect uri trick is common, that’s why oath apis must always have a “whitelist urls” functionality. And not just domain, the whole url.

That’s why when you make a Google api token you gotta specify what urls it’s valid for explicitly. That way any other different redirect uri gets rejected, to prevent an injection attack from a third party providing their own different redirect uri to a victim.

Oath is pretty explicit about all these things in its spec. It really sucks people treat it as optional “not important” factors.

It’s important. Do it. Always.
