Is it just me, or are LLMs starting to produce python code with type hints for EVERYTHING? Call me lazy or a bad programmer, but I don't use type hints so aggressively.

When using llm generated code, do you "clean it up" to match your style, or leave it all in there?

    To frame the headline, the woman's fiance just went nuts and started feeding ChatGPT all the conversations for "therapy."

    "The bot often laced its so-called analyses with flowery spiritual jargon, accusing the woman of engaging in manipulative 'rituals'.”

      My mom is in an argument with her doctor. She doesn't believe his diagnosis because told her something different.

      As generated text floods our lives, it's important to remember that bears no consequence for anything it says. You have a relationship with your doctor, hopefully based on trust. They are bound by professional standards, and can face repercussions for malpractice.

      An LLM bears none of that responsibility. It's just endless words without consequence.

        @RadioJens Well, you could say that has become the standard for anyone who needs a chatbot for anything. It's a bit like Pringles for chips or Tempo for tissues. However, in recent months, its models have fallen behind Gemini and Claude, which now allow for increasingly accurate responses and natural conversations. Both have their specific advantages; Claude is very technical and can produce well-functioning code.

          I find that people who oppose the use of LLMs in writing often take an elitist stance. For many non-native English speakers, LLMs are empowering—they help express ideas without embarrassment or the need for assistance. We did not choose English as a global language; it was imposed on many of us. So don’t tell me I can’t use LLMs to edit my writing—before you do, try writing in another language, like Hindi. I challenge you!

            Oh cool, a new way to “be social” where my friends can upload my number even if I don’t opt in. According to OpenAI, if someone syncs contacts, they may process your phone number—and store numbers on servers in a coded/hashed format (not names/emails). So… who’s ready to follow people on ? 😼

Since I do not have the knowledge to write a theme myself l, I turn to and instructed it to write a theme from scratch, with minimal styling and no JS at all. It now works locally and I probably will switch to it soon after more tests. I hope using a minimal theme will make it less likely to break with future Hugo updates

Unlike Wikipedia, it does not allow direct human editing, instead an AI model writes content and responds to requests for changes.

                                                                                                                      urlscan.io/result/019b088f-874

In this case, the shared conversation appears to be helpful instructions on "How to clear disk space on macOS," except the commands presented are malicious and would trick users into downloading and executing malware from putuartana[.]com.
                                                                                                                      The malicious command uses curl with flags (-fsSL) designed to:
                                                                                                                      • Download silently without user-visible errors
                                                                                                                      • Pipe the payload directly to bash for immediate execution
                                                                                                                      • Leave no trace on disk, running entirely in memory
                                                                                                                      To generate this output on ChatGPT's platform, the threat actor likely employed prompt injection techniques to manipulate the LLM into producing the malicious tutorial. Once created, this conversation could be shared via social media, forums, or SEO-optimized pages, directing victims to legitimate chatgpt.com infrastructure hosting the attack.
                                                                                                                      Both the ChatGPT shared page and the malware (hosted on putuartana[.]com) have since been taken down. However, we expect this won't be the last time threat actors weaponize LLM outputs in this manner.
                                                                                                                      This technique is particularly dangerous because:

                                                                                                                            They’ll make a half-hearted attempt to keep some vendor lock-in by building in special integrations with their SaaS stuff or by patching Wine and refusing to upstream it, but it won’t really work because nobody really likes Microsoft software anyway.

                                                                                                                            Does Linux have better backward compatibility than Windows itself? Possibly. I recently needed to run ancient software written for Windows XP (32-bit) to read data from equally ancient hardware. I don’t know if it’s possible to run this kind of software on current Windows versions, but it’s a breeze on using . I installed Wine and Winetricks to get some needed runtime libraries and fonts, then add a udev rule to allow hardware access (USB). It simply works. No VM needed.

                                                                                                                            When I say I installed, for the first time that is, I also want to say I never needed to so far. There’s no software I’m using I couldn’t find an existing version for Linux.

                                                                                                                            There’s nothing difficult about using Linux desktops. In fact, they’re easier and more useful than Windows. Installing software is a breeze, not to mention hardware drivers. If that’s still an issue, it’s because company X [NVIDIA] really tried very hard to make it impossible. [Did I mention NVIDIA?]

                                                                                                                            If you’re not a programmer punished having to make a living writing software for that operating system, you don’t need Windows. The only real roadblock was always that PCs are sold with Windows, and inertia. Same reason most people think is . It’s only because mainstream media only ever talks about ChatGPT.

It isn't about health; it's about mass managing bodies. It's a short hop from there to mass managing minds, which this "psychologized" technology is already being deployed to do (AI therapists and whatnot). Fully corporatized human resource management for the leisure class (you and I are not the intended beneficiaries, to be clear; we're the mass).

It's interesting how the tech sector pushes its tech closer and closer to the physical head and face. Eventually the push to penetrate the head (e.g. Neuralink) should intensify. Always with some attached promise of convenience, privilege, wealth, freedom of course.

                                                                                                                                              “Use ChatGPT to write your TPS reports, go home at lunchtime. Spend more time with your kids!” “Use Claude to write your code, turn 60-hour weeks into four-day weekends!” “Collect two paychecks by using AI! You can hold two jobs without the boss knowing the difference!”

                                                                                                                                              Imagine if AI/LLM tools were not shareholder catnip, but a grassroots movement of tooling that workers were sharing with each other to work less. Same quality of output, but instead of being pushed top-down, being adopted to empower people to work less and “cheat” employers.

                                                                                                                                              Imagine if unions were arguing for the right of workers to use LLMs as labor saving devices, instead of trying to protect members from their damage.

                                                                                                                                              CEOs would be screaming bloody murder. There’d be an overnight industry in AI-detection tools and immediate bans on AI in the workplace. Instead of Microsoft CoPilot 365, Satya would be out promoting Microsoft SlopGuard - add ons that detect LLM tools running on Windows and prevent AI scrapers from harvesting your company’s valuable content for training.

                                                                                                                                              The media would be running horror stories about the terrible trend of workers getting the same pay for working less, and the awful quality of LLM output. Maybe they’d still call them “hallucinations,” but it’d be in the terrified tone of 80s anti-drug PSAs.

                                                                                                                                              What I’m trying to say in my sleep-deprived state is that you shouldn’t ignore the intent and ill effects of these tools. If they were good for you, shareholders would hate them.

                                                                                                                                              You should understand that they’re anti-worker and anti-human. TPTB would be fighting them tooth and nail if their benefits were reversed. It doesn’t matter how good they get, or how interesting they are: the ultimate purpose of the industry behind them is to create less demand for labor and aggregate more wealth in fewer hands.

                                                                                                                                              Unless you happen to be in a very very small club of ultra-wealthy tech bros, they’re not for you, they’re against you.

There is a pretty significant body of evidence at this point that in a wide variety of cases of interest, simple small data methods demonstrably outperform complex big data ones. Benchmarking is a tricky subject, and there are specific (and well-chosen, I'd say) benchmarks on which models like LLMs perform better than alternatives. Nevertheless, "less is more" phenomena are well-documented, and conversations about when to apply simple/small methods and when to use complex/large ones are conspicuously absent. Also absent are conversations about what Leonard Savage--the guy who arguably ushered in the rise of Bayesian inference, which makes up the guts of a lot of modern AI--referred to as "small" versus "large" worlds, and how absurd it is to apply statistical techniques to large worlds. I'd argue that the vast majority of horrors we hear LLMs implicated in involve large worlds in Savage's sense, including applications to government or judicial decisionmaking and "companion" bots. "Self-driving" cars that are not car-skinned trains are another (the word "self" in that name is a tell). This means in particular that applying LLMs to large world problems directly contradicts the mathematical foundations on which their efficacy is (supposedly) grounded.

                                                                                                                                                        Therefore, if we were having a technical conversation about large language models and their use, we'd be addressing these and related concerns. But I don't think that's what the conversation's been about, not in the public sphere nor in the technical sphere.

                                                                                                                                                        All this goes beyond AI. Henry Brighton (I think?) coined the phrase "the bias bias" to refer to a tendency where, when applying a model to a problem, people respond to inadequate outcomes by adding complexity to the model. This goes for mathematical models as much as computational models. The rationale seems to be that the more "true to life" the model is, the more likely it is to succeed (whatever that may mean for them). People are often surprised to learn that this is not always the case: models can and sometimes do become less likely to succeed the more "true to life" they're made. The bias bias can lead to even worse outcomes in such cases, triggering the tendency again and resulting in a feedback loop. The end result can be enormously complex models and concomitant extreme surveillance to acquire data to feed data the models. I look at FORPLAN or ChatGPT, and this is what I see.

The one that was not accepted (excerpt below) still feels interesting to me and I might someday develop this more, although by now this argument is fairly well-trodden and possibly no longer timely or interesting to make. I obviously don't have the philosophical chops to make an argument at that level, but I'm fascinated by how this technology is so fervently pushed even though it fails on its own technical terms. You don't have to stare too long to recognize there is something non-technical driving this train. "The technologist with well-curated data points knocks chips of error off an AI model to reveal the perfect text generator latent within" is a pretty accurate description and is why I jokingly suggested someone should register the galate.ai domain the other day. If you're not familiar with the Pygmalion myth (in Ovid), check out the company Replika and then Pygmalion to see what I'm getting at. pygmal.io is also available!

                                                                                                                                                          ChatGPT and related applications are presented as inevitable and unquestionably good. However, Herbert Simon’s bounded rationality, especially in its more modern guise of ecological rationality, stresses the prevalence of “less is more” phenomena, while scholars like Arvind Narayanan (How to Recognize AI Snake Oil) speak directly to AI itself. Briefly, there are times when simpler models, trained on less data, constitute demonstrably better systems than complex models trained on large data sets. Narayanan, following Joseph Weizenbaum, argues that tasks involving human judgment have this quality. If creating useful tools for such tasks were truly the intended goal, one would reject complex models like GPT and their massive data sets, preferring simpler, less data intensive, and better-performing alternatives. In fact one would reject GPT on the same grounds that less well-trained versions of GPT are rejected in favor of more well-trained ones during the training of GPT itself.

                                                                                                                                                          How then do we explain the push to use GPT in producing art, making health care decisions, or advising the legal system, all areas requiring sensitive human judgment? One wonders whether models like GPT were never meant to be optimal in the technical sense after all, but rather in a metaphysical sense. In this view an optimized AI model is not a tool but a Platonic ideal that messy human data only approximates during optimization. As a sculptor with well-aimed chisel blows knocks chips off a marble block to reveal the statuesque human form hidden within, so the technologist with well-curated data points knocks chips of error off an AI model to reveal the perfect text generator latent within. Recent news reporting that OpenAI requires more text data than currently exists to perfect its GPT models adds additional weight to the claim that generative AI practitioners seek the ideal, not the real.

It's geared towards generating conversation and interaction rather than just following instructions cleanly - And I guess wiping out all of your users' files is a talking point that could generate loads of fun data for the OpenAI datamoles.
