<p>Does anyone know how authority on passing these kinds of rules go, and if they are enforceable?<p>Is there some state/federal law that delegates power over some things to the municipalities/cities/counties etc that allow them passing ordnance like this?<p>It feels weird to me that this would not be a state / federal level decision, but maybe that's just my Finnish ass.</p>

<p>What annoys me about LLMs is that they don't do fact based pushback and form cohesive implementation idea when proceeding.<p>Like for example if you think there's a possible problem, say that if there's a problem and suggest a workaround, the agent will change direction and implementation to that, even though there never was a problem.</p>

<p>Except you are missing an important aspect: the model includes training data that responds to THIS IS FUCKING WRONG, after which highly likely follows correction patterns and working solutions.<p>Ie, actually, yes, shouting at the AI can (and does, there are papers on this), work.</p>

<p>Yeah I would definitely hit no. Should have collected network information while it happened.<p>What was also interesting is that it prompted me to select a certificate that was definitely not for that page, ie. it accepted any and all certs, not just ones that are for a certain page (I have incus web generated certificates that should be only for that domain and page, which definitely have nothing to do with Google).</p>

<p>Google just prompted me to select a certificate for
lh3.googleusercontent.com:443<p>I'm not alone in this, also happened to my friend, and also posted to Reddit:<p>https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1u7h672/browser_asking_me_to_select_certificate_is_it_a/<p>Seems like somebody definitely misconfigured something somewhere. The question is then was this the direct result of the misconfiguration, or someone abusing a misconfiguration. Client certificates can be used to identify people so this is a good way to mass collect certs. This data could also be used to analyse client certificates that are around.</p>

<p>It's akin to an SCP infohazard or memetics.<p>The way llms are right now, and the way humans are, there is no side channel.<p>It's all about training, but even with extensive training, output breaks down if it's probability based and not hard logic and state machine.</p>

<p>Yes I agree that it's quite silly, of course if we assume they acted in a reasonable way (which I can't say for certain if the security had to result to forcefully ejecting them).<p>It very badly damages credibility to misrepresent what happened. It doesn't further the cause, only damages it.</p>

<p>>“They were respectfully given the opportunity to cease this behavior and chose not to which is why they were escorted out.”<p>I understand the want to protest, but you do know that misrepresentation doesn't help, right?<p>Refusing to cease by an even organisers order will, yes, result in being escorted out forcefully by security.</p>
