It's been like this for a long time so it must be working. My guess is that fewer choices = easier to choose a video.

Ransomware too?

Isn't it about compression artifacts?

how many times will I get clickbaited by some cool title only to see AI praise in the article and nothing more? It's tiring and happens way too often

related "webdev is fun again": claude. https://ma.ttias.be/web-development-is-fun-again/

Also the "Why it matters" in the article. I thought it's a jab at AI-generated articles but it starts too look like the article was AI written as well


Maybe because I don’t do SWE for my job, but I have fun writing docker-compose files, troubleshooting them, and adding containers to my server. Then I understand how/why stuff works if it breaks, why would I want to hand that over to an AI?

Waiting for the follow-on article “Claude Code reformatted my NAS and I lost my entire media collection.”


ROFL. There have been at least two posts of Claude without confirmation deleting a repository and one where it wiped an entire partition

psa: The title has been changed since

Everything is now not-niche but on the cusp of hitting the mainstream. Like Formal Methods.[1] But they were nice enough to put it in the title. Then tptacek replied that he “called it a little bit” because of: Did Semgrep Just Get A Lot More Interesting?[2] (Why? What could the reason be?)

I and many others are not in your we


or had this info injected into its system prompt and was doing everything not to reval it. ChatGPT gets fed your IP address* and approximate location in its system prompt but won't ever admit it and will come up with excuses. Just ask it "search the web to find where im at". It will tell you the country you are in, sometimes down to the city. If you follow up with "how did you know my approximate location?" it will ALWAYS tell you it guessed it. Based on past conversations (that never happened), based on the way you talk, it can even hallucinate that you told it in this exact conversation.

*not entirely sure. I t seems to frequently hallucinate the address


you think ChatGPT was purposefully and maliciously prompted to tell someone they had ADHD?

and your reasoning for this is what?


No! Maybe I wasn't entirely clear in what I wanted to say.

The point is ChatGPT gets various info about you and it won't disclose to you that it has them.

There's the memory feature, but various reports (and my own experience) indicate that even if you disable it, some stuff you've said before (or the LLM inferred) is still fed into its sytem prompt.

We also know that AI can sometimes make up stuff. I think it might have "guessed" the user has ADHD, this got added into the system prompt and it won't be revealed to the user considering how this works. It wasn't done on purpose and wasn't malicious.


I love tailwind. AI chatbots are useless. Old internet was bad. Asians are proven to have the highest IQ. There's no logical reason for humans to exist. DOOM was a bad game.

what do you mean?

He's just showing his bigotry.

Doesn't seem like it

Was it really 5 min or more like 30?
