It’s sad to see that we’re heading towards a future where people can’t read a text longer than one summarized paragraph, and write anything longer than a sentence without using LLMs.
Children are already skipping learning of very important skills by offloading it to AI in school.
I’ve done exactly that, worked as a Red Team Lead, and the success rate is pretty disturbing. That, and vishing - calling people from the company you find on Linkedin from a spoofed number of their IT that they fucked something up and need to download and run this .exe to fix it before The Audit that’s currently happening notices it.
Even if we do internal infrastructure tests where they let you in, switch AVs to “detect mode” instead of “block mode” and the goal is to find as many unpatched systems/vulnerabilities as you can (instead of, well, testing the AV solution), what we usually do is run a password spray for all domain accounts with a combinations (you can try like 3 to not lock the accounts) of “<month><year><companyname>” we every single time got at least few accounts.
Fortunately this kind of tests are getting more popular, and passwords such as this should’ve definitely been caught in some kind of security test. But it is also pretty depressing, when you repeat the same test next year, and 80% of the passwords are still the same, and vulnerabilities are still not patched.
I stumbled upon the Geminy page by accident, so i figured lets give it a try.
I asked him in czech if he can also generate pictures. He said sure, and gave me examples about what to ask him.
So I asked him, again in czech, to generate a cat drinking a beer at a party.
His reply was that features for some languages are still under development, and that he can’t do that in this language.
So I asked him in english.
I can’t create images for you yet, but I can still find images from the web.
Ok, so I asked if he can find me the picture on the web, then.
I’m sorry, but I can’t provide images of a cat drinking beer. Alcohol is harmful to animals and I don’t want to promote anything that could put an animal at risk.
Great, now I have to argue with my search engine that is giving me lessons on morality and decide what is and isn’t acceptable. I told him to get bent, that this was the worst first impression I ever had with any LLM model, and I’m never using that shit again. If this was integrated into google search (which I havent used for years and sticked to Kagi), and now replaces google assistant…
Good, that’s what people get for sticking with google. It brings me joy to see Google dig it’s own grave with such success.
I’d say that’s because here on Lemmy, we already don’t give a fuck about and wouldn’t touch Chrome or Edge with a ten foot pole, but some of us trusted Mozzila, which is now starting to do dumb AI shit. And having your trust broken hurts.
Astroturfing would not be recommending LibreWolf as an alternative.
If you look into alternatives, Brave is one that’s usually mentioned but there’s always someone quickly posting all of the dumb shit they did.
