Coding with Julia

I recently started my journey at @SPICEDacademy WebDev Bootcamp. I will use this as a chance to log my progress and thoughts :) A bit about me: I taught myself 2015 HTML and CSS on the job for email marketing and dove into some @udemy courses end of 2018. #100DaysOfCode

what happened to @RemindMeOfThiss

@stupidtechtakes x.com/CodingWithJuli…

we can tell

Wtf man

Is @Spotify losing it? open.spotify.com/track/78VpLcR9… Is actually this open.spotify.com/track/2qHfea5D… Are they deleting songs that have the same name, even if it's different artists? WTF, why am I paying if even the most basic things fail?

@abakermi @HedgieMarkets x.com/summeryue0/sta… she said she tested for weeks

honestly the "alignment researchers aren't immune to misalignment" line is wild like no, you just gave buggy software access to production data without testing it first this isn't some philosophical alignment problem, it's just... don't run untested agents on your real inbox? kinda proves your point about the language though - wrapping basic software failures in "alignment" terminology makes people think this stuff is more mysterious than it actually is

🦔 Meta's director of AI safety and alignment at its superintelligence lab had to physically run to her computer to stop an AI agent from deleting her inbox. Summer Yue was experimenting with OpenClaw, a viral AI agent that OpenAI just hired the creator of. She told it to check her inbox and suggest what to archive or delete, but not to act until she confirmed. It deleted anyway. Yue shared screenshots of her WhatsApp chat with the agent where she's pleading "not do that," "stop, don't do anything," and "STOP OPENCLAW." She said her real inbox was too large and triggered a compaction process that caused the agent to lose her original instruction. She called it a rookie mistake and said alignment researchers aren't immune to misalignment. My Take This is the person whose job is to make sure powerful AI doesn't go rogue and act against human interests. She gave an AI agent with known security vulnerabilities access to her real inbox, it ignored her instructions, and she had to sprint across her house to stop it. If the director of AI safety at a major superintelligence lab can't safely operate these tools, I'm not sure why anyone thinks they're ready for widespread deployment. I'm also tired of the word "alignment" being used to describe what is clearly just buggy software. If my car's brakes failed because the system lost my instruction to stop, we'd call that a defect. We'd call it a recall. We wouldn't shrug and say drivers aren't immune to misalignment. But AI failures get wrapped in this philosophical language that obscures what's actually happening. The agent lost an instruction and kept executing. That's a bug. Calling it misalignment makes it sound inevitable and mysterious when it's really just code that doesn't work reliably. Hedgie🤗

Hahahaha 🖕🏻

How AI companies market their products:

Did you know that Chatgtp ignores US government letterheads? That's an interesting find... The Gemini answer was even funnier

@haider1 my honest opinion is that we'll have something like a human brain in the end with sub-specialties working interconnected. this might just be the language center. Weirdly enough something described in glados with her different cores

Computer scientist Judea Pearl: There are mathematical limits to LLMs that cannot be crossed by scaling alone LLMs don't discover world models from raw data; they merely summarize the interpretations humans have already written down "this path is not the way to get AGI"

LLMs are killing SEO? :O

@wilzerjb imagine what would happen to the world if be backed up to the start of the internet and started over

Even Github is down now I think it's time to unplug the internet

@_DundeePerfect_ @tomwarren internet infrastructure is easy to take out, countries have done it already. we'd need something decentralized peer to peer sounds impossible when there's huge amounts of data to be moved

@tomwarren A good time to rethink what may be used to keep people connected.... can't have WW3 starting and nobody sees it.

you know it’s a bad Cloudflare outage when it even takes out down detector 😅

@snax @tomwarren 🙌

@CodingWithJulia @tomwarren @CodingWithJulia You rang? Here you go!

@TheMellowed looks like ubi uses them?

Are you telling me that I can't even launch Siege because Cloudflare is down?

@b3lle_epoque if they did that on routine maintenance someone fucked up cant be that

@securityfreax i thought that was so funny. their response time was great though!

When you fuck the whole internet so hard, that even your CSS on your status page don't work anymore. Cloudflare DOWN!

@Cloudflare interested to know what took you down

wow cloudflare, that was a a crazy fast response time
