"Git has an elegant design, where a few simple concepts support very general needs and a decentralized, forkable, independent work. This doesn't allow us to slam through a million lines a day because our coding products can't possible consider the full design of the code and create a runaway nuclear slop reaction recreating the same thing hundreds of times. So we fixed it by centralizing it, converting simple offline file trees into an always-on server, treating partial information as a desirable trait, and bloating the elegant data structure into arbitrary JSON blobs"

It's unsurprising when people still use the term "bots" interchangeably for anything between search engine crawlers, automated accounts like the ones that post the weather every hour, automated accounts that pretend to be real people, real people who are paid to pretend to be other people, and real people they disagree with.

It's astonishing how many people reply to the bit in my keynote about AI hallucinations with "we don't have that problem, see, because all our input data is 100% correct". This is something that - even after 5 years of LLM discourse - people (often management level) still cannot grasp.

A lot of people I know shared posts about the Yandex datacenter bombing resulting in a decrease in Russian misinformation/disinformation bot activity, sometimes with charts. Let this be a reminder every one of us could be fooled by a story that we really want to be true.

Met wat commentaar van mij:

Van klootzak naar superslechterik: hoe Mark Zuckerberg en andere ‘techbro’s’ Hollywood-schurken werden https://www.demorgen.be/tv-cultuur/van-klootzak-naar-superslechterik-hoe-mark-zuckerberg-en-andere-techbro-s-hollywood-schurken-werden~b588278c/

"Automated traffic" ≠ "Propaganda Bot Traffic".

Hitting the infrastructure of Yandex (shorthand: the Russian Google) of course *drops* automated traffic (Indexing! Caching!), but you can't conclude anything meaningful from that drop alone.

I love a feel-good story, but this ain't it, sorry.

Heerlijke try-out van "Bedankt voor uw Data" in EMotia in Erpe-Mere.
