> As announced in June and October last year, we achieved this major memory milestone by iteratively refactoring the adblock-rust engine to use FlatBuffers, a compact and efficient storage format. This architectural transition allowed us to move the roughly 100,000 adblock filters shipped by default from standard, heap-allocat [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/r5nn4tkKbEFjLVZU ]

at least i don't have to sell my soul out having a "fake job"
11:58:00
Cindy:
oh wait, is the real job supposed to be a streamer?
11:58:38
BlueyHealer:
yes
12:00:11
Cindy:
getting sponsored by slop services, gambling or even shitcoins
12:00:38

the ones i like are the ones that have standards, which very rarely do they exist :P

"Scammy Youtube sponsors" are one of my favorite video essay genres btw
12:02:34
BlueyHealer:
These can also be scammy in more interesting ways than just rhe classic ones
12:02:57
Cindy:
i remember when ishowspeed got a ton of heat for shilling a scam coin, despite the fact he knew it was a scam
12:03:05
Cindy:
but what people didn't know was that EVERYBODY DOES THE SAME
12:03:15
Cindy:
the only crime he committed was getting caught on stream admitting it
12:03:38
plowsof:matrix.org:
aren't yu meant to tweet about it and delete it later

plowsof:matrix.org:
the gambling sites give people advertising them fake credit right? so you can watch them "bet" hundreds of thousands but its all fake
12:08:07
Cindy:
yes
12:08:31
BlueyHealer:
Also they can nudge the odds, it's not like it's a slot machine that is verified and sealed
12:08:36
Cindy:
they get paid to gamble on stream and act all surprised and shit
12:08:50
Cindy:
they put in a little bit of fake losses
12:08:58
Cindy:
so that you don't get suspicious
12:09:16
plowsof:matrix.org:
the first i heard of this was years ago with a csgo skins site scandal, i forget the details but i think it was people not mentioning they where the owners of the site they where using on stream
12:09:20
BlueyHealer:
I also wonder if they give credit to people mentioning it in their nicks, because I've seen such nicks in my game.

because of that
12:09:48
BlueyHealer:
Yeah, seen that! I don't think it's even remotely close to breaking even still.
12:10:08
Cindy:
seriously, it's illegal to not disclose affilation to the thing you're advertising i think
12:10:13
plowsof:matrix.org:
You're absolutely right! we will sometimes place targeted ads in our responses. These are not at all intrusive and can be disabled by upgrading to premium bob!
12:10:15
BlueyHealer:
Also, Coffeezilla had a three-parter on CSGO gambling
12:10:23
imprevisto:matrix.org:
it's all paid, people will pay soon for reliable non-ad info
12:10:37
imprevisto:matrix.org:
this will turn non-ad info into ad info
12:10:42
BlueyHealer:
I already wouldn't mind paying for such, depending on the info)
12:10:54
imprevisto:matrix.org:
which will make my non-ad info here an ad for non-ad info
12:11:05
imprevisto:matrix.org:
so, uh, pay me?
12:11:22
BlueyHealer:
I wonder how you'd implement ads in such a non-deterministic thing though

BlueyHealer: prompt injection
12:11:58
Cindy:
LLMs have 2 types of prompts, the user prompt (the one you can see)
12:11:59
imprevisto:matrix.org:
inject THIS 🍆
12:12:06
Cindy:
and the system prompt (the one nobody can see at all)
12:12:11
BlueyHealer:
Do you have to retrain it from scratch? Or just prompt it? Then we'd have something like "imagine you're a benevolent employee paid to give adless info"...
12:12:35
Cindy:
they can shove the ad info in the system prompt
12:12:39
BlueyHealer:
(I didn't look up to the screen in time)
12:12:43
Cindy:
and users won't be able to tell
12:12:53
BlueyHealer:
But system prompts are such a cat and mouse game...
12:13:05
321bob321:
It will probably point you to a product
12:13:11
BlueyHealer:
I don't follow AI news but it getting tricked is interesting
12:13:28
Cindy:
oh yeah sometimes you can get the AI to leak its own system prompt
12:13:56
BlueyHealer:
Yeah, I think I've seen that but don't remember where.
12:13:57
Cindy:
(and it's funny, it's just full of "you can't"s and shit)

i remember the bug they could never fix in LLMs
12:19:38
Cindy:
get it to say one character or a token forever
12:19:44
Cindy:
and it'll start malfunctioning
12:20:01
Cindy:
they fixed it not on the model itself, but just on the site
12:20:15
Cindy:
it'll try to detect infinite recursion prompts and just automatically fail
12:22:07
imprevisto:matrix.org:
I only do this to models I don't like

for me it is all of them

12:22:28
imprevisto:matrix.org:

12:22:46

the only reason why they patched it out because it turned out that the random data it spits out is actually its dataset
12:22:50

if you make the image darker, you'll see the gemini watermark

on the bottom right
23:34:17
Cindy:
not like the filename makes it any obvious anyway
23:35:02
ufo808:matrix.org:
it's easy to create PNGs with transparent background if tell gemini to make plain white background
23:35:10
ufo808:matrix.org:
and then remove background in gimp
