  • I have adopted the philosophy that human brains might not be as special as we’ve thought, and that the untrained behavior emerging from LLMs and image generators is so similar to human behaviors that I can’t help but think of it as an underdeveloped and handicapped mind.

    I hypothesis that a human brain, who’s only perception of the world is the training data force fed to it by a computer, would have all the same problems the LLMs do right now.













  • Depending on the credit card system used, there’s various levels of fraud detection. Some stores use a point-of-sale system for in-person transactions, and those generally don’t need the CVV code because you’re supposed to have the physical card. It doesn’t stop some businesses from using the system incorrectly, allowing them to charge a card without a billing address or security code.

    This is part of why credit card signatures are basically useless compared to a pin that’s required for all in-person transactions.
