How do we create an environment that incentivizes human writers to focus on their craft instead of “productivity”?

Thats maybe one of the more pressing issues of our time.

They’re getting 200m a year to share that garbage pit with ai training.

But yeah, in my empirical experience, moon phases, ovolatory cycles, hormone manipulation therapies… all have a gigantic impact on our base physiological and psychological state. I live in a place where the insects operate on a lunar phase, and the plants proactively change their operations in that rhythm to match. You can taste and see the difference in tree sap here based on the lunar phase, it becomes thicker, darker, and more bitter days in advance of the insect hatching.

Why would we think we are somehow a special exception from the web of life that created us?

Now , a control anchored experiment with balanced and unbalanced attacker/defender LLMs, that would be instructive and useful.

The idea that an LLM can deploy other LLMs on a machine it has access to is not research. Neither is the idea that an LLM can autonomously infiltrate and expand its access over a network. I have already done both, and it’s literally just a couple of prompts and a pile of reference docs. I use LLMs to deploy LLMs on my infrastructure, and I use LLMs to analyze security vulnerabilities on my networks, including deployment of access ladders on vulnerable machines. That is SOP, not research.

If they had used a pair of identical experiments, one that was exposed to an infiltrator LLM, and the other occupied by a defensive LLM and then exposed to the same threat, that would be an actual experiment.

As it is they just threw a roadflare on a dry field, and yup, Dry fields burn. They at least could have done it with and without recent rain.

They published only the obvious and dangerous part, none of the hypothetical or potentially useful part. Low effort, rush to publish.

Obvious pattern of using ai to replace human reasoning in a proven methodology of malware distribution, C&C, and network infiltration obviously possible, say researchers.

Researchers use AI to create the torment nexus using commodity hardware, demonstrating the very real threat that AI could enable attackers to create torment nexus nodes using commodity hardware. “It wasn’t even that hard !“ says one researcher. Firmware available to qualified researchers who pinky swear that it will not be leaked.

Researchers set fire to laboratory with gasoline, killing seven volunteer victims, demonstrating that laboratory fires are a real risk and can carry significant consequences, especially when gasoline is involved.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Honestly, I haven’t seen an autorouter that doesn’t take at least as much time as it takes to do it by hand to sort out the results. But then I’m also not paying thousands for premium tools, so???

I find that with some experience, routing and placement is kinda the fun part..

And also a new vector for a ransom-attack on the Bluetooth namespace in certain environments via malicious BLE advertising. The worst thing that could have happened here was for someone to take this seriously.
