<p>funny you mention. blue noise was also the first one that popped in my mind. spent a lot of time looking for blue noise without knowing it at some point ::) while working on a system that was also using poisson disk sampling.</p>

<p>malware is a malicious program , it can be in memory even within another process but essentially its a little program of itself.<p>prompt injection is more close to an exploit. a sequence of input that leads to unexpected behavior, exploited to perform malicious behavior.<p>many exploits are hosted on websites. called exploit kits even. i think prompt injection match such classification. its very similar. a piece of data on the site's side exploits a program or interface on client side.</p>

<p>they are also known to just dump stuff if its not good enough. if stuff is leaked its in general almost never going to be clear if its something thats aproaching some release or just internal testing. if you read up on how their company is run you can see how there may be lots of passion projects and things never to see the light of day over there..</p>

<p>still its ultimately not super clear i would say after many years they could have a simple landing page with a clear and consice paragraph. i dont see why this type of stuff needs to be put into manifestos and poems.<p>"we beleive information and coms should be free. we provide as non profit. reach out for more info on specifics. services include xyz. we do it from idealist standpoint so not everyone is rendered services. manual review."<p>cant beleive how many words flew by before i reached that conclusion. if it was stamped 2026 people would call it AI slop.</p>

<p>a lot of fools beleive that if they facilitate the means somehow they will be free to do so.<p>Your rights do not matter.
Laws do not matter.<p>If your technology is used by someone for bad, then someone trying to prevent that bad will some day come knocking. Law or not. Rights or not.<p>The only thing you can thus do is protect yourself. If you get taken out, that is you relying on your Rights and Laws. They dont exist and wont protect you.</p>

<p>this is not a crazy idea honestly. i mean, using bots and classic game AI for testing etc  is also there ofc and this seems similar but i think considering the state of released games, often game mechanical issues could be fixed<p>can you give some idea on if and how your model reason about visual bugs though? this is where i find human testing to be more logical. what if a buton click flickers the button instead of 1 time lightup and darken? can it see all the frames and catch it?<p>this seems where i think a lot of effort is likely still going to be spent so if in some what it could get a description from the code or a person and then reason correctly about visual behaviors in the game.<p>another tricky area is mandatory testers for appstores. those you can trick perhaps using your AI into thinking someone is testing it really but i am not sure if it would be against their terms... (likely? maybe could be material for exploring market opportunities)</p>

<p>right or wrong, good or bad are all taste.<p>from a business perspective, this might be considered the only way, but it is not. at large volume scale it becomes more, but often large scale is lacking optimisations in the first place.<p>its not wrong in my eyes, but definitely not the only path to take.</p>

<p>if this is a problem there is a problem in alignment in management or teams.<p>one team uses AI to create larger volume of work, but another does not use AI for whatever reason.<p>its really asking for problems.<p>either both should use it or neither.<p>if both is not perceived to be ok for quality reasons, then use neither.</p>

<p>i really wonder _why_ apart from just wanting to do it.<p>a lot of applications for humanoid robots i've seen people make other accurate and , despite being very complex, much more simple machines for.<p>they are for a specific purpose ofcourse, where such a humanoid robot might be more general purpose. but general purpose things usually mean less good at specific things.<p>if it becomes good at everything and cheap enough it invites the next more economic problem (which i think is more real than 'AI' simply doing it. its robotics that will do it..) that people will lose jobs. those people cant purchase things anymore which their replacements produce, and thus there is a problem that now the robots do nothing anyone needs anymore?<p>i can think of specific jobs no one should need to do, like handling nafta or other insane scenarios, radioactive stuff etc. but those are so specific you could think a specific robot would be better at it and theres no need for a general purpose device to do that specific job.?<p>seeing how much is invested in this, i am quite sure i am missing an insight, and would be thankful if someone in robotics applications might enlighten me!</p>

<p>they are often not very consice language, but on the other hand I do find them useful as long as they are correct and save me time sifting through docs. its all about saving time, tutorials in my mind are for when you want to 'whip something up quickly' in which case reading 20 papers and 5k documentation seems a bit of a waste. tutorials can condense enough to get u going before u do that duty. i dont mind reading a few weird sentences or fluffwords if its still magnetudes less than the full thing.<p>it also depends on the prompting, which true to your comment could likely use some finetuning to get it more 'readable' (its a difficult word initself being subjective. like 'clean')</p>

<p>there is different scales at which software is slow. this os one and definitely a pain in the ass. everything being online for no good reason other than to harvest user data.  which it really turns out to be every time. (for good or bad purpose).<p>second is on a smaller timescale. so many features and crap that is never asked for and never used is crammed into software so the systems that execute it are just juggling pretty much dead code in and stale data in their caches all days long.</p>
