@robertsirc @mattfarina All the cool kids are at #RSAC , #SOFWeek and #GEOINT2024 and I chose this week to move into the new house. Regret.

[Brandon @governetes]

@robertsirc @mattfarina do you want to grab the balloons or the cupcakes this time? 🎉

Elated that this found its way back from #KubeCon EU into our RancherGov HQ2 office.

@lorenc_dan End of quarter warrants the Dan “I <3 sales” hat to come out of retirement.

I know it's not #gptscript from @ibuildthecloud, but it's still cool, I promise.

@ibuildthecloud @mattfarina don't you mean... Zero... trust issues?

[Brandon @governetes]

@ibuildthecloud @mattfarina edge==trust issues. treat it all as compromised by default.

[Brandon @governetes]

@mattfarina @ibuildthecloud without the privileged creature comforts of reliable comms, of course.

The flight into #KubeCon always is filled with more excitement than any other conference trip. Can’t wait to get the band back together.

[Brandon @governetes]

Tweet deck please come back.

Out of Office.

The clouds look like skyscrapers on the sea.

there has to be a better way to debug gh-actions. I am just creating a commit storm just to diagnose my fails. If anyone has a better way, please save me from eventual rate-limiting.

50% of StackOverflow traffic is gone!

Look at the attached chart. It tells a scary story that will not be limited to StackOverflow.

Right now, detecting AI-generated content is impossible.

Last week, OpenAI shut down the tool they created for this purpose. They launched it in January, and it's dead today, less than seven months later.

Their statement: "The AI classifier is no longer available due to its low rate of accuracy."

I'm not surprised about any of these two events.

I don't remember the last time I visited StackOverflow. Why would I when tools like Copilot and ChatGPT answer my questions faster without making me feel bad for asking?

And I'm even less surprised about OpenAI killing their tool: Many believe detecting AI-generated text is impossible. I'm one of them.

Here's what OpenAI had to say about this:

"We are (...) currently researching more effective provenance techniques for text, and have made a commitment to develop and deploy mechanisms that enable users to understand if audio or visual content is AI-generated."

Notice how they differentiate text from audio and visual content. For the latter, they seem confident they'll find a way to recognize humans from AI. For text, they are not and are word-salad'ing us with a vague "researching more effective provenance techniques."

StackOverflow famously banned any AI-generated answers from the site.

That's the wrong move.

Instead, we need to find a way where human and AI-generated content coexist and benefit from each other. There's no putting the genie back in the bottle, so how can we get the most out of it?

Do you think StackOverflow will survive? What can they do to fend off what seems to be a life-threatening event?

@KaylinTrychon as Jim Nance would say, "it's a tradition unlike any other."
