it does not imply that I am not responsible.

Be that as it may, it’s very important to keep the shitty developers in these conversations. Most people don’t make that logical leap automatically.

People working at Meta will end up leaking those info. Muse is just the tool.

B–B–Bingo.

I hate how these stories set us up to blame the product and not the shitty vibe coders.

I have a FB account only for a Buy Nothing group, which is way more good than the harm my occasional logging on to FB is creating.

So you’re wrong.

This is, in part, why Microsoft is having human reviewers peruse people’s private prompt data.

To make Copilot a better smut generator, even of CSAM, according to info leaked to 404 media last week. They’re not reporting the pedophiles who use their LLM for this either, they’re having reviewers evaluate different outputs and pick the ones that are the best fit for the user’s prompt, even for material of questionable legality. I talked about it on my channel this week, but be aware I did make a few off color jokes if you’re offended by that sort of thing.

This gentleman can eat a dick.

Understand that nothing you prompt into an LLM is private. None of it. I made a video on the topic this week.

Just in the last year and a half there have been several massive public leaks of private data, on top of confusing functionality where people inadvertently shared their prompt data publicly. Now the major companies have human reviewers looking at your private stuff in order to make their LLM’s better at generating smut.

Do not enter anything into an LLM that you wouldn’t want plastered all over the public square. Some of this stuff has literally been leaked into global, public feeds.

Those of us who get around on two wheels might call them ‘cagers’.

Actually, you’re kinda wrong.

There’s not a ton of reporting on it, but Flock has lost 100+ contracts, just in September. They’ve lost 400ish since June. This has been across 36 US states.

People are standing up, we’re just not hearing about it because the vast majority are doing so via the boring, pedestrian democratic process. And to be fair, I didn’t know this either until I did research for a video I made about the Flock buyout a week ago.

This is also a good reminder that, while you have zero political power nationally, you have a ton of power locally if you’re willing to attend city council meetings and speak.

I made a video that is tangentially related to this a week and a half ago. There isn’t a ton of reporting on it, but Flock is losing a ton of cash thanks to local privacy movements.

Just in September they lost 100+ contracts. They’ve lost almost 400 since June, in 36 US states.

Seeing the response is the first thing that’s given me a flicker of hope since the Patriot Act passed.

I 100% believe it.

There were lots of creepy videos in Minnesota and elsewhere of ICE thugs creepily taking photos of observers, and several have made mention on camera of ‘a database’ or ‘a system’. They’re probably not supposed to talk about it publicly, but ICE thugs are fucking stupid.

You’re not wrong. I’m thinking of buying in post-bubble potentially, but I’m not 100% sure what I’ll do yet. I do know that, by the day, it feels more and more like a good time to take the profit that’s there and wait.

He may not be far off.

These bubbles usually last approximately five years. (Or at least that’s been the case historically.) We’re in year four. I’m actually keeping a portion of my portfolio in cash so when the crash comes I can take advantage, though I may move my whole retirement account into bonds and money market funds after the new year.

On the plus side, surveillance pricing legislation has already been introduced in (IIRC) four states just this year, and if I had to guess, we could eventually see state-level bans in at least half of the states.

This, like the electronic tags at Walmart, or Uber charging more when your phone battery is low, or Target mining your loyalty club data to surge price you, is something that they’re speedrunning to try and normalize before the law catches up.

And even more fun, Flock has lost almost 400 contracts since last summer.
