I’d argue the Monkey’s Paw is a bad example because I don’t think the Monkey’s Paw is actively malicious like a djinn.

I think Monkey’s Paw just works off of path of least resistance. What’s the fastest way to randomly get rich? Workplace accident causing life insurance payout. What’s the least effort way to revive the dead? Just make the corpse start moving again. What’s the easiest way to give a shambling corpse peace? Undo the last wish.

I feel like a Djinn wouldn’t let you undo the reviving wish. They’d probably just put them in a coma so your son is now in a half dead comatose state forever.

Even Steam controllers can’t escape controller drift 😔

I don’t know if this translates to mac n cheese but if you put things like frozen pizza in a convection oven/air fryer it comes out as if it was from a pizzeria.

Finding a poorly-secured public facing API is exactly how injections work, whether it’s SQL or prompts. If I put SQL commands in a username field and it works, it’s still an SQL injection even if it’s just developer incompetence.

The difference between that and prompt injection is that unfiltered LLM inputs are basically the standard at the moment, so it takes next to no effort.

Plus I think the Morse code example is far more clever and exploits the LLM directly, whereas the white text trick has been around long before widespread LLMs.

Am I the only one too paranoid to ever copy paste code from the internet and/or AI?

Code that I don’t understand feels like a dead pixel when I try to picture the whole piece of software in my head. I even search for what all those one letter flags mean for a command or function before I feel confident in using it.

I feel like there’s a decent difference between dirt and clay. Like the title made me imagine the same dirt that’s in a lawn with bugs and stuff; clay I imagine as being cleaner and more similar to eating wax or play-doh.

It seems like sucralose is not very unhealthy.

However the big name brands like Coke use aspartame which is a carcinogen and should be avoided.

Beats sugar though.

Y’see the 3 sided zipper can only exist in cosmic levels of pressure and heat, being constrained by advanced AI controlled magnets to prevent the zipper from getting caught on something.

Actually Deepseek’s having a resurgence because of their Engram module which is truly novel.

It’s not so much that Deepseek is a flash in the pan but more like they do some cool new thing and everyone copies their work while they recede back into their research.

Some time ago: “I just hope the most evil people are so dumb that they get found out”

But if you break apart Google, how will they afford to keep killing off their own services!?!
