The AI Question that No AI Person Asks by vlogbrothers
#ai

Dear generative AI enthusiasts,
Look, I know the tokens you're burning right now don't actually use *that*much energy (even though it's somewhat substantial already and disastrous when we take into account the quality of the crap it's being used for) but what's more important is the appearance (or not) of that token spend on the quarterly earnings report of OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. lays the foundation necessary for those companies to go ahead with their plans for datacenters on a truly ridiculous scale, and those datacenters, if built, ate indeed a climate nightmare which *my kids* will have to live through even if they never benefit from any of it at all. That's (one of many reasons) why I personally need you to stop using generative AI right now.
The fact that the output is crap, the way it erodes your intelligence, and the ways in which it plagiarizes and actively undermines good citation practices are among many other practical reasons not to use it, but what's personal to me is the way that your frivolous sloperation is making the future worse for the baby I'm feeding blueberries to as I type this, and half the time I interact with people like you the conversation begins with some form of "putting aside the ethical issues..."

So organisations/companies realize that the topmodels are way too expensive for 80-90% of the things they want to use AI for. So they will move to cheaper models/versions, opensource models, on premis etc. At the same time OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI need more revenue to cover their outrageous costs/investments. How will they solve this? Just with big defense/government contracts?

One website I use to receive payments recently shifted to a terrible #AI tool for customer service.
I asked it to process a payout. It failed, so I asked customer service to do it. After a few days, they did, and I withdrew the amount.
4 days later, the AI processed my payout...20 times. So now I have 20X the original amount, which I've already been paid for, in my "wallet."

I think this is a good pressure test of #LLM / #AI agentic coding, and depending on where you are, it's either an indictment or a great success story:

Are you in tech and outraged about generative AI? Is it being forced down your throat at work?
Here's a nice vindictive way to get a little revenge if you want:
1. Find a project that contains slop code.
2. Optionally, identify specific files or functions that are LLM-generated. I guarantee you that on average, this code has not been adequately tested/inspected, even/especially if it contains LLM-generated test cases.
3. Make up a reason the code could be flawed, bonus points if it's subtle or hard to test. Don't put effort into this or try to actually find a flaw. Just make something up at random.
4. Report your made-up defect as a bug.
That's it. If anyone ever questions you on the incorrect report, just say "oh I used an LLM and it said there was a bug so I reported it." (Don't actually use an LLM, that would be feeding the bubble.)
Note that you are showing the creator of the code the exact same amount of disrespect that they've shown you by publishing slopcode in the first place. I'd bet odds are 50:50 or better that if a human actually follows up on the report, even though they'll find out that the bug report is wrong, they'll find and fix some other subtle flaw in the LLM-generated code, so this is actually helpful in a way.
For step 3, try to get creative. Like "logic in decideUVParameters can cause state to be inconsistent in some cases." If asked for a steps to reproduce, either make one up if it's easy to do so, or say "I forgot how I triggered this." Surely they can ask an LLM to figure out conditions that would trigger the bug ;).

You know how we're told the bible is the inerrant word of god, and yet whoever wrote the bible seems to have not the slightest clue about science or how the world actually works? And the bible also says the world was rushed into production in six days without testing. Clearly god just vibe-coded the whole job.

Open source is benefiting from the current AI trend: some projects are already improving their security posture and reducing their attack surface.
Proprietary software, for now, seems more out of the loop.
But once LLMs become better at analysing binaries, compiled code, and obfuscation, I wonder how vendors will handle the likely increase in vulnerability disclosures.
