It's true. Research Project Mockingbird. It's still happening, and Colbert is one of them.

Good riddance. Just a bunch of CIA psyops anyway.

It's not sad, it's using modern tools to learn. People that don't embrace the future get left behind.

This is just a dumb article. Comparing Apple to AOL is insane.

100% agree. They know exactly what they are doing. They are playing a long game of subtle cultural warfare.

We all know how controlling and evil the CCP is... Citations not needed!

Why so much Whataboutism? Can't you just accept the fact that the CCP is Evil?

"An obvious manipulation tactic on the path to abolish cash."

This was the first thing I thought.

Can anyone tl/dr this? Does this mean that its possible for a maliciously crafted LLM to execute arbitrary code via an exploit in llama.cpp?

I can relate to this. I also used typewriters, and my first computer was a mac plus. vim felt so weird and alien to me.

Then I decided to really give it a try and let go of everything I had learned. Now I'm a daily neovim user. kickstart.nvim is really what made it possible to use as a daily coding tool.

I actually really like the idea of websites that allow you to edit the content and save it locally... IMO, this is brilliant and should stay as is.

I use neovim, but I also pay for sublime text because it's just good.

Deep understanding and being able to reason about problems is more important than speed. Offloading too much to LLMs has a detrimental effect on our brains.

I'm not saying don't use LLMs. Use them in ways that increase your skills, and be wary of using them in ways that atrophy your skills.

I would rather raw dog JavaScript than write Typescript. Typescript is an abomination.
