it’s my life choices that rise my electricity prices, i should have built a giant data centre to consume the equivalent of a whole town do the taxpayer’s would subsidise my bills.

even under the assumption that they do pay the exact same prices as normal citizens (they don’t). electricity prices will go up the more usage there is, as they mostly rely on limited factors.

ish. but if there are shareholders, the CEO is replaceable. and principles aren’t good for immediate profits.

it’s fascism, all CEOs bend down.

no person with principles against fascism would never become a CEO, basic human decency is bad for the investors

or child marriages (legal pedophila), or protecting pedophiles, then they literally fuck the children

it is mindboggling how having root access is treated like an illegal thing to do, rather than the default. the phone should have the root password in the documentation you get in the box.

does the average user needs root? probably not.

however, it’s a piece of hardware you legally own, you should have access to it.

it’s like buying a car and not being allowed to open the bonnet and checking the oil voids the warranty.

physical home button row.

give me those clickety clicks, i hate accidentally hitting back/home/whatever, whenever I’m typing or scrolling

Who said they need to retrain? A small modification to their weights in each copy is enough. That’s basically training with extra steps.

It is so funny that you are all like “that would never work, because there are no such things as vulnerabilities on any system”

Why would I? the whole point is to create a LLM virus, and if the model is good enough, then it is not that hard to create.

Give it access to the terminal and copying itself is trivial.

And your example doesn’t work, because that is the literal original definition of a meme and if you read the original meaning, they are sort of alive and can evolve by dispersal.

It’s a computer program, give it access to a terminal and it can “cp” itself to anywhere in the filesystem or through a network.

“a program cannot copy itself” have you heard of a fork bomb? Or any computer virus?

They don’t need to outcompete one another. Just outcompete our security.

The issue is once we have a model good enough to do that task, the rest is natural selection and will evolve.

Basically, endless training against us.

The first model might be relatively shite, but it’ll improve quickly. Probably reaching a plateau, and not a Sci fi singularity.

I compared it to cancer because they are practicality the same thing. A cancer cell isn’t intelligent, it just spreads and evolves to avoid being killed, not because it has emotions or desires, but because of natural selection.

An not familiar with that. Can you elaborate?

LLM Viruses will be like how the hippy free love concept died during the aids epidemic.

No more having powerful computerized all connected together.

It’s funny how I simplified it, and you complain by listing those steps.

And they are not as much as you think.

You can run it on a cpu, on a normal pc, it’ll be slow, but it’ll work.

A slow liron could run in the background of a weak laptop and still spread itself.

Even those are vulnerable. You just need one to trick the it guy. Unlike traditional viruses, these could evolve versions that specialize in social engineering.

They are fancy autocomplete, I know.

They just need to be good enough to copy themselves, once they do, it’s natural selection. And it’s out of our control.

i think Netflix practically killed sitcoms, as they never give shows any chance to build an audience before they cancel it.

on the other hand, they made Centaur would, so it’s not all that bad

not here to defend any corporation,

but TV was corporate slop before netflix.
