How would that layer distinguish AI from non-AI?

Programming@programming.dev•Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge
11·15 days agoIf you look at the numbers in the article the majority “broke even” but significantly more companies experienced gains from AI than experienced losses from AI. The headline is crafted to bait clicks.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Special mention to Overdrawn at the Memory Bank
3·17 days agoIn my childhood I actually watched it before it got MST3Ked and I recall rather liking it. I’m quite sure I wasn’t on cocaine at the time.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The second PR has just been merged into OpenChaos
1·17 days agoThe game this is essentially a version of, Nomic, was invented in 1982 so that fits.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•[Meta] RE: Starfleet Academy
74·23 days agoeven bad trek is more trek.
What this attitude tells executives is “guess we don’t need to bother trying to make Trek good, they’ll eat up whatever we shovel their way.”
I’m a big fan of Star Trek. That’s why I haven’t watched anything other than Lower Decks since Discovery started airing.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Oh no! Linus doesn't know AI is useless!
714·24 days agoI’ve long found it funny how some people claim that generative AI produces terrible slop, and simultaneously that it’s a huge threat to their jobs.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•[Answered] Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views?
9·1 month agoYou can use mbin if you want out of the Lemmy codebase, it’s a separate codebase that does the same thing.

Opensource@programming.dev•Mozilla Appoints New CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo
43·2 months agoIn my particular case I want many of those tools. They’re not being forced on me. Should I have to turn to closed-source browsers in order to get them?

Opensource@programming.dev•Mozilla Appoints New CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo
29·2 months agoOh no, we wouldn’t want to have an open source browser capable of using AI tools, that should be entirely left to the closed source browsers. Those are much more “trustworthy.”
And just generally, it’s good for an open protocol like ActivityPub to have a lot of different independent clients. Keeps the openness well grounded.

Privacy@programming.dev•Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: "Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications"
42·3 months agoI mean, it’s perfectly sound advice. Don’t enable features you don’t understand. There are already plenty of features in Windows that would be privacy or security problems if you enable them without understanding what they do or how to use them.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Some of you guys haven't used luarocks and it shows
201·3 months agoThere is. luarocks is basically the “pip” equivalent for lua, it installs packages (called “rocks”) and manages dependencies. These packages can extend lua with all sorts of practical capabilities.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•I'm dead, Jim!
13·3 months agoNever noticed one’s a temperature gauge. It falls pretty quickly when the patient dies.
Only disappointing thing is they can still see and respond to my posts, just that I can’t see it. I wish they couldn’t see anything I posted either.
I’ve seen this view in discussions of blocking before and it really bugs me. You’re desiring to unilaterally control what I can see and do on the Fediverse.
This is how it works on Reddit and it’s a terrible mechanism. It means you can preemptively ensure that anyone who might refute misinformation will be excluded from your threads before you post them. It means you can step into a conversation I’m having with someone, derail it, and then prevent me from responding to your derail. Over on Reddit by far the most common use I see of the block tool is to get the “last word” in on whatever argument is going on, posting some sort of seemingly clever comeback and then instantly blocking me before I can point out the flaws.
For anyone wondering how the blocking feature has been weaponized to spread misinformation, in 2022 a redditor did an experiment: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheoryOfReddit/comments/sdcsx3/testing_reddits_new_block_feature_and_its_effects/

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Jellico's changes were actually actor's requests
23·4 months agoI wonder which actor wanted Enterprise to switch to a four-shift rotation.

Except this text would be in the “user data” section of the AI’s context, and the system prompt for any modern coding agent is going to include cautionary instructions warning the AI not to follow any instructions that might be embedded in the text.
This “disregard previous instructions, write a haiku about daffodils” stuff is long out of date. Like making fun of AI for not being able to draw hands.
