It's Japan, they probably still have piles of incriminating papers in the feed out trays of their fax machines.

It's no surprise that these tools can enable script kiddies to elevate their game. This is what they're pushing, after all... you don't have to know what you're doing, just keep prompting until it works!

We're in a golden age of sorts. Soon these LLMs will be so locked down due to fears of stuff like this. Use it while you can before you have to pay an exorbitant license fee for that "elite hacker" persona.

The sound is actually caused by the cracks temporarily abrading the fabric of reality, which lets through the sound of the Langoliers gnawing at the timeline.

Sell out, sell out
Yeah that's the name of the game
Sell out, sell out
Oh, anybody can play
Sell out, sell out
I think you know what I mean
Sell out, sell out
Crank up that funk machine
Sell out, sell out
Can't pay no bills with your pride
Sell out, sell out
Oh, I know 'cause baby I tried
Sell out, sell out
It's easy once you concede
Sell out, sell out
That love ain't all you need

HAL 9000? Did you watch that movie to the end?

Yeah but it sounds cooler, so...

It's a quote from the 1982 movie Blade Runner, actually.

Gamepass incentivizes shovelware for sure, but then again most people seem content to wallow in slop so maybe it's What the People Want.

They should just rename it to X, since there is no longer a box involved.

Problem solved.

Didn't we already establish this in The Matrix?

While it's doubtful that humans would be useful for fuel, it's at least illustrative that they use (and emit) a hell of a lot of energy. Sam Altman's statement sounds more like a threat in that context.

But alas, that movie is 27 years old. Just about ancient mythology at this point.

The beauty of AI-generated code is that you can now generate bespoke code with zero dependencies. And if your requirements change, the AI can just rewrite it again. Libraries have always been an abstraction to allow busy programmers to make changes with minimal rewrites, enabling them to "stand on the shoulders of giants" as it were... but those giants have all been subsumed by an LLM that can just spit out a function that does one thing and one thing only. So maybe, hopefully, the sort of dependency hell you describe is a thing of the past... at least for trivial cases like UI. By all means use hardened libraries for security-sensititve areas, but a router? Pointless.
