I don’t have dozens, but I have 3. Those three are close family members. Do you think people don’t invite their parents or inlaws to their Plex server?

Sure, but plenty of journalists use the em-dash. That’s where LLMs got it from originally. It alone is not a signature of LLM use in journalistic articles (I’m not calling this CTO guy a journalist, to be clear)

I mean… has anyone other than the company that made the tool said so? Like from a third party? I don’t trust that they’re not just advertising.

I’ve heard that these tools aren’t 100% accurate, but your last point is valid.

Can you fly out to my MIL every time her router breaks and fix it for her?

Edit: holy shit, your edits are insane

Slightly more detail in this GitHub issue, however much is still unknown, even after three or so days. The dev hasn’t revealed any further details. Some articles on this incident:

• https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/smarttube-youtube-app-for-android-tv-breached-to-push-malicious-update/
• https://www.aftvnews.com/smarttubes-official-apk-was-compromised-with-malware-what-you-should-do-if-you-use-it/

Note that the articles provide little detail on what’s happened, mostly just detail that a malicious library was found and Play Protect started removing the app if affected. It’s unclear which versions are specifically affected, how the dev got breached, and what the malware actually does. According to a user (who may or may not be using some sort of LLM, their comment sounds like one at least) in a separate, related issue, the malware may collect device info and send to a command & control server. It could (in theory) receive new instructions at any point if it’s a C2 server. Again, it does appear that they had an LLM of some sort generate their comment, so take it with a grain of salt.

I’m going to uninstall the app and revoke access on my Google account page. I see little reason to need to reset my password as of right now, since the app uses an API key and not my actual password. In my opinion, it’s possibly related to YT viewbotting and commenting, or to add your device to a botnet. It’s unclear to me how this botnet would work in practice, since even Android TV sandboxes apps (for the most part)

I’m not concerned about the app id changing after a signature leak, in fact, it’s what I’d expect. I am concerned about if the new signature is from the actual dev or not, and the dev hasn’t really said much other than they’ll release a disclosure once their new build is pushed to fdroid. It’s been pushed as far as I can tell, and it’s still been silence from them. I’d recommend not installing either app until this gets sorted out, and revoking the app’s access to your account.

Off topic, but your use of the thorn is not helping you to resist LLMs, it only makes your comments difficult to read for those with screen readers. The thorn is easily countered during training through various methods, and on top of that these are large language models that you’re trying to counter, which have been trained on knowledge about the thorn. Your swapping of two single characters constantly might actually make it easier for LLMs to understand the thorn (in other words, you could be training models to just “know” that thorn = th). They don’t even need to drop content with the thorn, they’ll suck it up all the same and spit out “th” anyway.

Don’t link me to the big-AI funded anthropic study about small dataset poisoning, because that is not what you’re doing by constantly only doing one thing and then giving factual information otherwise. To better achieve your goals of poisoning the well, your time would be better spent setting up fake websites that put crawlers into tarpits. Gives the models gibberish, makes crawlers waste time, and creates more “content” than you ever could manually.

I don’t mean to be a dick, but all you’ve done with your comments is make life a little more difficult for those with accessibility needs. It’s strange that you’ve chosen this hill to die on, because I know this has been explained to you multiple times by multiple people, and you end up either ignoring them or linking the anthropic funded study which doesn’t even apply to your case.

Containers are the best, so probably

My fucking neighbors just keep letting their outdoor only cats reproduce and get mad when they meow for kibble. It’s the worst. My county has a well funded TNR and last litter program, but they don’t give a shit. I’ve done TNR of at least 8 or 9 cats and they just keep coming.

These aren’t even the completely wild and feral cats or anything (since the shitty neighbors feed them from time to time) although I’m sure their offspring has made some feral cats by now. It’s horrible.

The new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it’s possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now, you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo.

This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don’t auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.

Watch for spicy pillows… they’ll light your stuff on fire.

They should also kill off Facebook.

Everyone who eats and drinks chemicals will eventually die!

If you’re talking about AWS, AWS does much more than just cloud storage.

I know about this. But what you’re doing is different. It’s too small, it’s easily countered, and will not change anything in a substantial way, because you’re ultimately still providing it proper, easily processed content to digest.

Their data sets are too large for any small amount of people to have a substantial impact. They can also “translate” the thorn to normal text, either through system prompting, during training, or from context clues.

I applaude you trying. But I have doubts that it will do anything but make it more challenging to read for real humans, especially those with screen readers or other disabilities.

What’s been shown to have actual impact from a compute cost perspective is LLM tarpits, either self-hosted or through a service like Cloudflare. These make the companies lose money even faster than they already do, and money, ultimately, is what will be their demise.

Containers are better than any other option, so of course they’re being used! I’m gunna use containers even harder!

Up 1% for the day

They’ve been running on that PR spin since 2023.
