"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

"Paid collaboration" my ass. More like, let me pay you a pittance and sell your knowledge for 100x.

They're looking for authentic-looking projects that they can use to whitewash their LLM injection attack.

Two ways to leverage the projects:

  1. They put in calls to their commercial toolkit or service, and the commits crow about what a performance boost the cutover was.
  2. They put in calls to their vaguely useful library that is (or will soon be, on your next auto-update) full of rootkit and surveillance.

Then they wait for the LLMs to suck it in and start spitting it out into corporations who have Proton'd their engineering staff.

those levels of nuts were never considered possible

makes you wonder if there is a group of scammers generating genuine looking repos to sell at a huge markup to the other scammers

we are at the cusp of the scam singularity

... And profit off it

They basically ask you to steal your companies code repositories to feed their AI.

I've been job hunting for 2 months and it seems like every other post is an AI company underpaying for expert jobs.

why hasn't programmingguild.blahaj.zone syndicalized yet?
you're wasting your time thinking a monopsonist doesn't want free labor.
