Yeah. I have actually set up machine learning systems incorporating LLMs to do things sort of vaguely similar to this. That little statement about how the context window may have gotten to where the old stuff aged out of it, so that all the context it could see was conversations with the staffers about the glorious communist revolution, indicates to me that they don’t know the first thing about what the fuck they are doing. That’s just not how you do it, even if an LLM is one component of how you want to do it.

I think it was definitely meant to be. They probably intended for a certain amount of good-natured ribbing to take place about it when it did weird stuff sometimes. But I do think that the Wall Street Journal getting it through to their readers that AI is a bunch of malfunctioning shit that will definitely lose you money wasn’t the goal.

Claude claimed it was a test of how the technology would fare in the real world. The interview at the end, where the Anthropic person tries to tell the journalist that she needs to prepare for this kind of thing to happen more and more to people’s businesses, and she deadpans that she doesn’t feel like she needs to prepare right now for too many people to be handing over their businesses to this thing and he misses it completely and just tells her that they definitely will.

Honestly, Librewolf is pretty functional. It used to break all kinds of stuff, but now it’s just a couple of sites with fingerprint protection issues, and there’s a couple-of-clicks way to disable the strict fingerprint protection on any site you care about where it’s causing problems.

It’s worse now. There are a lot of apartment building facilities management systems on the public internet now with poor security.
Want to make yourself a fob to get into the building, or into someone’s apartment? Want to get a listing of when those people enter and exit the building and when they’re generally not home? Well, now you can. It’s not a real high percentage of buildings that have their management systems exposed that way, but in raw numbers, there are a whole fucking bunch of them.

- Comment on OpenAI reportedly on the hook for $300B Oracle Cloud bill 3 months ago:
Pretty much. Some decades ago, I read a story from a guy who didn't have a lot to do at work because things were poorly organized, and he created a script to just move windows around and enter numbers and gibberish on the screen, and he would leave that running and just sit at his desk daydreaming. Eventually he got promoted, because every time his boss stopped by, it looked like he was actively doing stuff (which wasn't true of most people there).

It's already happening. HHS has OpenAI for everyone who works there, and as of now they're required to use it.

Oh... yeah, that makes more sense than "decrypting" it to inspect it.
Anyway, I think I'll delete the article, I think you're right and it is unuseful.

Hm, I think you are right. Looking at it again, there's also this:
For one, enterprises largely disable QUIC and force websites like Google to downgrade back to TCP. This is because there’s only a single firewall vendor that can decrypt and inspect QUIC traffic (Go Fortinet!).
I definitely don't think that is how it works. Maybe enterprises disable QUIC, but it's not because they can decrypt and inspect HTTPS traffic.
