  • you need to fully be able to program to work with these things, in my experience.
    you have to explain what you want very specifically, in precise programming terms.

    i tried a preview of chatgpt codex and it’s working better than my free version of claude, but codex creates a whole virtual programming environment, you have to connect it to a github repository, then it spins up an instance with tools you include and actually tests the code and fixes bugs before sending it back to you.
    but you still need to be able to find the bugs and fix them yourself.

    oh and i think they work best with python, but i’ve also used ruby and dart and it’s decent.
    it’s kinda like a power tool, it’ll definitely help you a lot to fix a car but if you can’t do it with wrenches it won’t help very much.


  • if you disable message previews in the app, those messages are never decrypted and put into the notification stack, and can’t be backed up in icloud. Which should also be disabled.

    the security implications of turning on messages previews is pretty obvious, and they are also mentioned in the app.

    if you have message previews popping up on your lock screen of your terrorism plans, then you’re a fucking idiot.
    if you glamourize the massacre at waco texas, then you’re a fucking idiot (they really did).
    if you spend months planning a bombing and ZERO minutes planning opsec, then you’re a fucking idiot.
    either this whole thing is a fake terror plot manufactured by the government, or they’re fucking idiots… or maybe a nifty combination.
    Signal messenger provides bulletproof end to end encryption, but all pipes leak at both ends.


  • FUD, btw.
    enabling message previews was always a security vulnerability with signal.
    letting iCloud back up your phone is a security vulnerability… signal can only control what goes on in their app, they could never control the rest of the phone.
    ….
    have you read anything about this case? they were _ complete idiots_ cosplaying as revolutionaries, planning on making a bomb and becoming terrorists.
    They were idiots with terrible opsec, and probably would’ve never gone further than talking shit and making one pipe bomb in the desert.
    you can either learn from their lack of OpSec, or just scream fud and all electronics are bad, and sit alone writing on paper and refusing to use the internet, just like they want you to do.





  • that’s generally true but it over simplifies it a lot. it wouldn’t accept any of my claims until i provided links to it.
    stuff like, “there are only unverified claims of attempts to deport people to cecot. if that had happened, there would be a lot of outrage and news articles. it would be illegal for the us to deport people to foreign prisons”

    so, outright denying each one of my claims that it adds up to fascism, until i went through the entire checklist of what defines fascism, with multiple sources… it took about a half hour.

    that then becomes training data and sources for the overall LLM, and will influence future conversations… with chuds who believe chatGPT is god, and who can’t provide reasonable negations to well sourced claims.

    i had a similar back and forth with Claude, now it’s defining trump as authoritarian without any further evidence required.

    llm’s have gotten a lot more complicated in recent years… they’re now little stacks of multiple neural networks working together to fix each other’s mistakes and whatnot.

    i think we’re getting closer to Immanuel Kant‘s model of consciousness.

    i find the AI Futures Project to have some pretty interesting ideas on where we’re headed
    (70% of all humans dead in 5 years)


  • i asked it if trump was a fascist, it said no. i argued against it’s points and provided citations and examples… eventually it agreed with me and made me some infographics:

    you can convince it. It believes reputable news sources and wikipedia.
    At first it didn’t believe me that they’ve been sending people to CECOT at all…

    p.s. Liberia is worse than sending people to CECOT









  • Thank you, I was just about to give up on humanity. Do the mods not care or is nobody reporting this? New slurs are still slurs.

    For those blessed enough to not know:.

    “Foid” is a derogatory slang term originating from involuntary celibate (incel) communities to refer to women It is a shortening of “femoid,” a portmanteau of “female” and “humanoid,” and is used to dehumanize women by implying they are not fully human
