But you're not a member of Anthropic's Red Team, with access to a specialist version of Claude.


I don't think that matters at all.


I think that Anthropic's own version of Claude will give them different results than the ones you get.

"Find zero-day exploits in this popular software." I haven't tried it I suspect that the guardrails will make a difference.


I don't think so. I've never had Claude reject the idea of finding a vulnerability (unlike ChatGPT). The issue is that it's limited by its training set. It'll be trained on things like UAF, it won't be trained on things like "the way your secrets are injected + the way you make HTTP requests + the way you deploy means that an SSRF can expose your private key" or whatever, and that's a technology limitation.


I thought Mozilla Foundation were protecting us from AI.

Turns out it's the other way around - AI is protecting the Mozilla Foundation from us.


Students are idealistic. The real world has a habit of blunting that.


I think they reduced inference strength this week because of the demand.


I've had 2 sick days in 8 years


many people would be jealous (including me)- you're in an exclusive group!


I've even got an incurable disease - Crohn's


my sister actually has that! she gets ill all the time though unfortunately coupled with other things of course


two great problems in computing

naming things

cache invalidation

off by one errors


Biggest problem right now in computing:

Out of tokens until end of month


More like, "Out of DRAM until end of world"


these rules get worse

> all manufacturers of Internet-enabled devices, operating systems, or application stores to conduct commercially reasonable and technically feasible age assurance for users at the point of device activation.

so now that guy that had a gigabyte of data uploaded from his dishwasher has got a new problem


"I hate CGI video"

"So you hated the TV Series Ugly Betty then?"

"What? that's not CGI!"

This video is 15 years old

I think that's a different category, though. Those backgrounds are actual video recordings of real places, not 3D environments modeled from scratch. It looks 'real' because the background actually exists.


It's still 100% CGI compositing and definitely not all of them are real places or real objects.

In that specific 15 year old example they're mostly composited, you're right about that.


I love Ian Hubert's demos of green screening in Blender.

His Blender Conference talk about photogrammetry / camera projection / projection mapping was fantastic:

Computer Generated Imagery.


Your case would have been better if you had used Mad Max: Fury Road, or even Titanic as examples, rather then a mediocre TV show nobody remembers. Ugly Betty used green screens to make production cheaper, that did not improve the show (although it may have improved the profit margins). Mad Max: Fury Road on the other hand used CGI to significantly improve the visual experience. The added CGI probably increased the cost of the production, and subsequently it is one of the greatest, most awesome, movie ever made.

Actually if you look at the scene from Greys Anatomy [0:54] you can see where CGI is used to improve the scene (rather then cut costs), and you get this amazing scene of the Washington State Ferry crash.

I think you can see the parallels here. When people say they hate AI they are generally referring to the sloppy stuff it generates. It has enabled a proliferation of cheap slop. And with few exception it seems like generating cheap slop is all it does (these exception being specialized tools e.g. in image processing software).


> mediocre TV show

Won 3 Primetime Emmys

52 wins & 124 nominations total

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0805669/awards/

I guess it's just too lowbrow for you.


Award winning shows and movies does not exclude forgettable cash grabs.

However, my counter examples included Grey’s Anatomy, Mad Max, and Titanic. None of these are considered high literature exactly (and all of them are award winning as well).


If you were carrying heavy shopping in both arms would you stop to pick up a quarter?

A dollar?


I wouldn't pick up either even with empty hands. No idea where they've been. Maybe a fiver, a twenty sure. At that point I'd put down my bags and grab both.
