Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

last week there were a couple of articles about how easy it is to craft an input that makes public chatgpt bots execute scripts (usually as root) on their hosting containers, which is almost definitely the result of a module like that being implemented for better programming-related results (aka fucking cheating), so this is very likely already happening

found the original post! https://mastodon.social/@kennwhite/112290497758846218 the prompt to make them execute code is incredibly basic. no idea right now if the exploit is in the chatbot framework or the model itself though

oh shit, somehow I figured you knew already! I’ll skim through my browser history and masto boosts and see if I can find one of the articles

Happy to at least not be the first to think of that idea, and sad to hear people will wreck the commons more.
