One of the many, many, many horrible things about what ICE is doing is that now any group of white men in tactical gear with an SUV can attack, beat up, and kidnap any random person — and nobody will stop them, because who knows, they •might• be ICE, and you can’t obstruct federal agents, now, can you?? https://pdx.social/@portlandmercury/115901949802924271

Modern use of LLMs often involves giving them access to the local system: to read and write your project files, and to execute arbitrary commands, often unsupervised. So aren't people worried about a harness just doing what a remote #LLM tells it to do?
I think a statement I've heard lately summarizes the mindset well. It went something along the lines "I can't give you 100% guarantee, but I've noticed that LLMs are very good at following instructions, and they're getting better and better, so I don't worry about that anymore".
Like, it is completely fine to introduce a humongous security hole, because the probability that a model will *accidentally* do something horrible is decreasing.

The history of the term "anarchist" is itself adversarial. Those who embraced it did so intending to engage with it as controversy, so I feel like I'm not too out of line with this history in using my socialization of being comfortable while being adversarial, and my social license as a cis dude to just say some random shit for attention, to draw that attention back to this whole subject.
Since this post did get some attention, I'm gonna link back to the one that prompted it (and tag @…, who I think is the author, for a heads up if there's anything to add):

I think I have said some useful things in my post, or at least repeated things others have been saying for years in a useful way, but this post is really the thing to look at (again, if you didn't miss it like I did) and think. There was definitely a time when I would have fallen for that whole hoax, and maybe even have struggled to argue against the things being highlighted. But it's clear that there is still a problem, and I hope repeating these things in my dude voice catches the attention of some folks who might have otherwise missed it... And I hope my adversarial approach doesn't pull focus away from the self-reflection that needs to happen.
Men are the problem here. Men need to fix this. Men are responsible for looking at some of this really horrible shit and acknowledging that we've all been part of the system that makes them possible and have an obligation to destroy that system.

From where I sit, I don’t think it’s a trap. It’s been clear for a while that they’re digging themselves deeper in a hole the longer they keep doing what they’ve been doing, and that they’re going to need to declare “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” so they can switch to some different awful thing.
However, this is very much a “don’t let your guard down” moment. They’re gearing up for some different horrible thing. They’re not disappearing.

Most people just run into information randomly, naturally hold onto the peak neuroplasticity encounters the hardest, work too much to be adequately tapped into everything, and all the wealthiest most horrible people in the world have had unimaginable amounts of money to spend on pushing what they want hardest via every means they have regardless of how much soul the underlings can muster.

Why do they use the term 'douchebag'? Is that what I call a toilet bag, and if so, what is the sense of it as an insult?

Rams' playoff win vs. Bears is bad news for Browns, Raiders, Ravens, Steelers coaching searches https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/news/rams-playoff-win-vs…

I explained something for a friend in a simple way, and I think it's worth paraphrasing again here.
You cannot create a system that constrains itself. Any constraint on a system must be external to the system, or that constraint can be ignored or removed. That's just how systems work. Every constitution for every country claims to do this impossible thing, a thing proven is impossible almost 100 years ago now. Gödel's loophole has been known to exist since 1947.
Every constitution in the world, every "separation of powers" and set of "checks and balances," attempts to do something which is categorically impossible. Every government is always, at best, a few steps away from authoritarianism. From this, we would then expect that governments trand towards authoritarianism. Which, of course, is what we see historically.
Constraints on power are a formality, because no real controls can possibly exist. So then democratic processes become sort of collective classifiers that try to select only people who won't plunge the country into a dictatorship. Again, because this claim of restrictions on powers is a lie (willful or ignorant, a lie reguardless) that classifier has to be correct 100% of the time (even assuming a best case scenario). That's statistically unlikely.
So as long as you have a system of concentrated power, you will have the worst people attracted to it, and you will inevitably have that power fall into the hands of one of the worst possible person.
Fortunately, there is an alternative. The alternative is to not centralize power. In the security world we try to design systems that assume compromise and minimize impact, rather than just assuming that we will be right 100% of the time. If you build systems that maximially distribute power, then you minimize the impact of one horrible person.
Now, I didn't mention this because we're both already under enough stress, but...
Almost 90% of the nuclear weapons deployed around the world are in the hands of ghoulish dictators. Only two of the countries with nuclear weapons not straight up authoritarian, but they're not far off. We're one crashout away from steralizing the surface of the Earth with nuclear hellfire. Maybe countries shouldn't exist, and *definitely* multiple thousands of nuclear weapons shouldn't exist and shouldn't all be wired together to launch as soon as one of these assholes goes a bit too far sideways.

While I don't think this will change things, I do think it's nice to be reminded that we are not alone. Direct action is always better than asking nicely for the horrible thing to stop. We are powerful enough to stop it.

But there is also a theatrical element to politics that's easy to forget. The "show" of something like this can be inspiring, and can inspire others who have been afraid.

And yes, put that pressure on Republicans too. Every horrible image that comes out of Minneapolis, the refrain should be “[NAME OF GOP TOOL] wanted this.” Put their name on what they did.

Jellyfin started "missing" new videos that were being added to the library, so decided it was time for a rebuild. Ended up using the new homelab baseline (Debian 13/`trixie`) and the install was pretty smooth. Used an NFS share for the `cache` and `metadata` directories, and it even scraped all the videos. Still had a ton of mismatches, but nothing too horrible.

I spent Sunday with friends I hadn’t seen in a month or more. We baked cookies, worked on a jigsaw puzzle, shared stories. The story sharing consists of someone talking about a personal experience that would have seemed unthinkable a month ago: a friend with a missing relative, a car left in the street, a family who had 8 loads of laundry because they couldn’t leave the house, running on the ice and fumbling for the whistle while witnessing somebody being abducted right there, right in front of them.
After each story, there is really nothing to say. It is horrible. We nod. We know. We continue the puzzle.

My god the state of the software industry is insane. The companies that should be helping people understand and use their machines are instead viciously exploiting and tricking them, bamboozling them with impossible levels of complexity they can't handle.
My brother's machine is popping up adverts from strange domains through Edge several times a minute. They all lie that his machine is infected with viruses. He has no idea what they are or why they're there or how to get rid of them or if his machine is in fact virus riddled. Does he need a new one?
Looking. Are these push notifications? I never have used Edge or Push-notifications or even modern Windows much really, so I dunno what they're like.
I think that's what they are?
I would never accept a push notification from a website, even the ones that some people like sound horrible. I don't want websites messaging me! Interrupting me! But of course, cookie-popups have trained people to just immediately click 'accept' on anything.
I think I cleared all the permissions that Edge had been granted with a reset but I dunno what I'm doing with Edge on Windows either really. The lie about viruses seemed to stop.

Some people may think of LLMs as the great equalizer. People who aren't programmers can vibecode working programs now. People who aren't artists can slop out something resembling art. However, it's the exact opposite.
When I was a kid, I also pretended to write programs. Of course, I didn't have such sophisticated toys ("kids could play with a stick for hours", as the hyperbole went). But then, I was fully aware that it's just make-believe and it didn't harm anybody.
#Vibecoding creates a horrible chasm of inequality. We have people who believe they're good programmers (even treating vibecoding as an enlightened religion) who shit tons of code at real human reviewers who now need to sift through. And then, we have projects embracing vibecoding and shitting new releases at unprecedented rate. And these releases again need to be reviewed by humans downstream.
