In the context of securing software, the core imbalance with AI is:
When it's used in creating software we worry it might sometimes be wrong.
When it's used offensively we're in trouble if it sometimes gets it right.
I hear what you did there
Periodic reminder: Meta's engineering culture 11 years ago.
The company was founded in 2004, so about midway between its founding and now.

LLM-based tools are probabilistic, require significant context to get meaningful results, and make important mistakes in analysis that can mislead users.
But there's real value available IF you understand the strengths and limitations and use them wisely. Learn more: buff.ly/a6yvxiJ
Well, there's also all of the reverse centaur conversation I enjoy. I'm interested in how humans can/should position themselves no matter what their attitude and willingness to use AI

what the fuck
Why capitalize only the I? 😛
13 years later and the story of Aaron Swartz still fills me with anger and sadness
Across social media and the Al industry, people immediately began to challenge Altman's claim. Why, they asked, would the Pentagon suddenly agree to the red lines that it had said — in no uncertain terms — that it would never do so? The answer, sources told The Verge, is that the Pentagon didn't budge. OpenAl agreed to follow laws that have allowed for mass surveillance in the past, while insisting they protect its red lines. One source familiar with the Pentagon's negotiations with Al companies confirmed that OpenAl's deal is much softer than the one Anthropic was pushing for, thanks largely to three words: "any lawful use." In negotiations, the person said, the Pentagon wouldn't back down on its desire to collect and analyze bulk data on Americans. If you look line-by-line at the OpenAl terms, the source said, every aspect of it boils down to: If it's technically legal, then the US military can use OpenAl's technology to carry it out. And over the past decades, the US government has stretched the definition of "technically legal" to cover sweeping mass surveillance programs - and more.
Sam Altman got played and spun it like a win - @haydenfield.bsky.social has the scoop from a weekend’s worth of reporting from inside the Pentagon AI negotiations. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...
You can invent, you can decide and you can be accountable and learn from mistakes. You can be responsible.
If I wanted to go more quantitative and see levels or types split, can I do it? Can you do it? 😅
I miss learning about weird situations from your life, but this is also good 😁
A clean looking graphic with sharp lines and crisp colour
The same graphic, but muddy and blocky. The previously sharp lines are blurry.
I think it's often overlooked that AVIF is also really good at flat colour & sharp edges.
Don't go straight for a lossless format just because it's the kind of image that would look bad as a JPEG.
Here's an 11kb image as an AVIF, vs JPEG XL.
Same
Theoretically/legally that means a y IP you produce in that time belongs to the company under some of the popular contracts and anything that happens to you is under work insurance.
But these are all silly problems in comparison
Not cool!
It doesn’t matter why they say there are layoffs. Unless a CEO is taking a 99% pay cut, the reason is greed.

Getting fewer but higher quality proposals than usual was also helpful
I checked one more thing off my bucket list.
Did it way later than I should, but I gave every CFP proposal author at least two sentences of individual feedback. I've organized a bunch of conferences and always wanted to do it, but didn't find time to go individual.
