    My gawds, some people need to learn what’s a homage and also stop being upset on behalf of others. This comic is fine, stop bellyaching. This is what terminal permission culture does to a motherfucker.

      The only person who should care about anything other than the quality is Randall. However since he licensed it CC BY-NC 2.5 how he feels about it doesn’t really matter either.

        I think people should be concerned about things on others’ behalfs. We all need to stick together.

        This situation is a send-up though. Totally not a concern.

        Permission culture is a term primarily criticizing copyright law. Something that I would expect db0 to agree with! 🏴‍☠️

      In a version that doesn’t even fully make sense. With databases there is a well-defined way to sanitize your inputs so arbitrary commands can’t be run like in the xkcd comic. But with AI it’s not even clear how to avoid all of these kinds of problems, so the chiding at the end doesn’t really make sense. If anything the person should be saying “I hope you learned not to use AI for this”.

    More like “And I hope you learned not to trust the wellbeing and education of the children entrusted to you to a program that’s not capable of doing either.”

    One of the best things ever about LLMs is how you can give them absolute bullshit textual garbage and they can parse it with a huge level of accuracy.

    Some random chunks of html tables, output a csv and convert those values from imperial to metric.

    Fragments of a python script and ask it to finish the function and create a readme to explain the purpose of the function. And while it’s at it recreate the missing functions.

    Copy paste of a multilingual website with tons of formatting and spelling errors. Ask it to fix it. Boom done.

    Of course, the problem here is that developers can no longer clean their inputs as well and are encouraged to send that crappy input straight along to the LLM for processing.

    There’s definitely going to be a whole new wave of injection style attacks where people figure out how to reverse engineer AI company magic.

    Two muffins are baking in an oven. One muffin turns to the other and says “sure is hot in here isn’t it?”
    To which the other muffin replies “Holy crap! A talking muffin!”

    Changing the muffins to cookies would not make it a different joke.

    The funny thing about a comic is, you are able to express the idea without writing multiple paragraphs of words.

      It’s really easy, just throw an error if you detect a program will cause a halt. I don’t know why these engineers refuse to just patch it.
