Okay shavuah tov everyone, it's motzei shabbos is Microsoft still putting out fires and not fully back to 100%?

Please say "yes".

One thing I'm hoping happens before "let's just use LLMs for everything!" goes completely up in smoke is that some shmuck tries investigating some weird logs or access attempts for who/what/impact,
by pointing an AI Agent at it,

but the AI Agent when doing the searches for context and running over its results find and gets hooked by the bait the attackers had seeded in the public web that was their whole goal here,
running a backdoored executable to "safely parse the data format" and giving the attackers the access they wanted.

Root 'cause analysis.

root cause analysis: roots are grown from a germinating seed that has sufficient environmental support and resources available for growth.

Okay I because I saw this when scrolling my Federated:

I Personally Do Not Believe You Have Seen Enough Evidence To Publish An Article Claiming Israel Likely Orchestrated Jensen Huang Resigning On Your Small-Time Online News Outlet.

The current state of Tech Infrastructure is as a series of disasters seen through Fnuny Posts for popcorning, that gets closer and closer to your stack and that of your social community until you're the one who can't get new posts.

Root cause is they forgot add "Make no mistakes." to the end of their prompt. smh. Rookie mistake, rookie mistake.

Okay ACTUALLY what fraction of the entire company just him using his power imbalance over his subordinates to extract sexual relationships from them.

(Posting this as a response to my joke that did Numbers because if it starts getting boosted even more from this I want a PS added on that as much as it's "god this guy is taking scumminess to a whole new level" separately from mocking him this is GROSS and SUCKS for the women in particular. If it's a spy I can feel light about it, that's not unexpected as part of her job going in. These are just people trying to work in a company he happens to own.)

(I think the fight over "pervert glasses" as a term, on the side of defending the term "pervert" to oppose shame-by-conflating-antisocial-behavior-to-weird-sex, is kinda losing (I know I saw some people being concerned about that previously), but so I think that's /largely/ fine, I don't think the use of "pervert" as a negative part of that phrase is necessarily going to spread out to much more general usage outside of that phrase, from there. This is just vibes but it doesn't feel like that's likely to me. Maybe 'cause it's so specifically ties to the noun, and we already have "glasshole" for the person. Again, just vibes tho.)

Not boosting LB as a "this is how you SHOULD be acting" because IMO diversity of tactics maybe, even tactics I disagree with, and I've already talked too much into "I personally don't like yelling at people as praxis" so I don't wanna keep doing that.

But definitely, this sort of intentional longer-term building and "going deep" as a way to fight this fight, absolutely something to look at and to look for.

Much as in politics, real anti-AI activism is granular, slow work like addressing issues like this, and not just yelling at people online (mea culpa). Right now, Twisted would be a *terrible* way to protect your site from scraper bots; scraper bots could easily accidentally knock it over, and a coordinated agent-swarm attack would have no problem finding new attacks to do it with absolutely trivial amounts of compute. I would like it to be an excellent tool to do so.

What's sad is that people who sleep with powerful men have their lives ruined whilst the powerful men remain powerful.

No they should not sleep with married men, but also: the men in question are usually using and abusing their power.

Monica Lewinsky's entire life was far more ruined than Bill Clinton's. Kimberly Powell's will likely be as well. Jensen Huang is still going to be a fabulously wealthy billionaire after all this is said and done. It may very well be nothing happens to him in the long-run, like an RMS-esque situation where he comes back when everyone stops caring. Little happened when Clinton got a blowjob.

because the beauties are sentiments of nature, which the learned and the ignorant feel alike.

EDIT:
Wait, I'm so search-engine-reshaped that I didn't even check the footnotes in the essay on the OBN archives I found it in. It links to, apparently there were two (an older, and current) versions (at time of publication), with slight differencea? It links to both. The links might be dead.

Also there's another hypertext linked in the essay, Francesca da Rimini's quote"webbased, hypertext ghostfiction" called "Dollspace" ((?? cultural antecedent for Empty Spaces/doll-stuff in contemporary online transfem* culture?)), whose link in the footnotes still works and I haven't looked any further than that.

(* apologies to any relevant if I'm misstating it and it is not strongly located within online transfem culture but is broader than that. I know of it decently well from an outside view situated adjacent to online transfem culture where I see a lot of it, but don't have an inside view that might show it in other places as well.)

Searching for it, I found this page which is definitely on it:
https://www.thealit.de/en/idrunners
Linking here:
http://www.idrunners.net
... which still resolves to a website which definitely LOOKS strongly affiliated to the Cyberfeminist movement in general but I don't know if it's the hypertext fiction? It mentions podcasts and links to an Etherpad hosted by RiseUp, and I'm 99% sure all three of those post-date 2004.
(So maybe this'll take more digging to find if it's still out there -- but maybe not, maybe it's still just right there, I stopped here because I realized Oh! I should tell Blackle! not because I ran out of loose threads or steam.)

Another hypertext literary work from archives past.

"identity runners: re_flesh the body", by Diane Ludin, with Francesca DiRimini and Agnese Trocchi

I'm not SURE whether I have fully found it? This is mentioned in
"The Cyberfeminist Fantasy of the Pleasure of the Cyborg", by Yvonne Volkart (2004? The 'Old Boys Network' archive reading room says "forthcoming", but I think the book it names came out?)

Fluid Identities

This complete dissolving of the characters by simultaneously invoking different fluid figurations is most obvious in Diane Ludin's webbased project 'identity runners: re_flesh the body'. 33) It is a multilayered hypertext project which results from the collaboration with Francesca da Rimini and Agnese Trocchi over several months. Three net characters, avatars or alter egos are allegorically called ephemera, liquid-nation, and discordia. Entering the start page of the website, ... [continues as a full review of the work]

If it starts reaching Twitter Numbers I'm gonna have to consider doing more anti-neuroconvergence-theory posting to ward people away. I don't know if it'll work here but I think it did something elsewhere one time.

Oh god my post has passed out of doing Fediverse Numbers and is now doing Tumblr Numbers.
