Moving away from Bandcamp
For quite some time I’ve had my music site hosted by Bandcamp, since it was a pretty low-friction way to get my discography up and online, albeit with some annoying limitations.beesbuzz.biz
New #blog post: MDN’s AI Help and lucid lies.
This article on AI focused on the inherent untrustworthiness of LLMs, and attempts to break down where LLM untrustworthiness comes from. Stay tuned for a follow-up article about AI that focuses on data-scraping and the theory of labor. It’ll examine what makes many forms of generative AI ethically problematic, and the constraints employed by more ethical forms.
Excerpt:
I don’t find the mere existence of LLM dishonesty to be worth blogging about; it’s already well-established. Let’s instead explore one of the inescapable roots of this dishonesty: LLMs exacerbate biases already present in their training data and fail to distinguish between unrelated concepts, creating lucid lies.A lucid lie is a lie that, unlike a hallucination, can be traced directly to content in training data uncritically absorbed by a large language model. MDN’s AI Help is the perfect example.

MDN’s AI Help and lucid lies
MDN’s AI Help can’t critically examine training data’s gaps, biases, and unrelated topics. It’s a useful demonstration of LLMs’ uncorrectable lucid lies.Seirdy’s Home

#blog "25th work anniversary"
25 January 1999 was my first day at W3C. I was 23 years old when I started. I've now spent more than half my life at that. I regret nothing because I find the work I do really interesting, important, meaningful; and I don't tire of it because I feel like there's renewal every now and then. I've held many positions, worn many hats, learned a lot of things and I work with incredibly smart and dedicated people.

Phew! Thanks to new data from ESO's Very Large #Telescope, we now know that a white dwarf that was set for a close encounter with our Solar System in 29000 years isn't actually headed our way. Turns out that the intense magnetic field of the #star had biased the previous measurements of the approach speed. You're welcome everyone! 😉

Avoid de-anonymization through analysis of your writing style. Defend against machine- and human-driven stylometric identification.
This is an expanded version of a previous microblog about stylometric fingerprinting. Feedback welcome, esp. from anyone with a stylometry or linguistic close-reading background. Excerpt:
To paint with a broad brush, we can divide most stylometric fingerprinting into machine- and human-driven techniques.
Machine-driven techniques: These techniques involve analysis of reading level metrics, unusual words, machine-identifiable grammatical and spelling errors, and statistical analysis of writing style. A great amount of recent research studies statistical analysis of writing style; it’s a rapidly-evolving field. Human-driven techniques: There are some areas in which manual analysis still beats computers. Someone you know may recognize your writing style.
A little thought experiment to see if we can determine Copilot’s legality. It’s ridiculous enough that it just might have some insightful message buried deep.
Excerpt:
I am not a lawyer. This post is satirical commentary on:In the process, I intentionally misrepresent how the judicial system works: I portray the system the way people like to imagine it works. Please don’t make any important legal decisions based on anything I say.
- The absurdity of Microsoft and OpenAI’s legal justification for GitHub Copilot.
- The oversimplifications people use to argue against GitHub Copilot (I don’t like it when people agree with me for the wrong reasons).
- The relationship between capital and legal outcomes.
- How civil cases seem like sporting events where people “win” or “lose”, rather than opportunities improve our understanding of law.

Excerpt:
When qualifying privacy recommendations with context, I think we should go further than describing threat models: we should acknowledge different types of privacy. “Privacy” means different things to different people. Even a single person may use the word “privacy” differently depending on their situation. Understanding a user’s unique situation(s), including their threat models, can inform us when we select the best of approach. How do we choose between reducing a footprint’s spread and size?Feedback welcome, now matter how insignificant.

Two types of privacy
"Privacy" can mean different things in different contexts. Tracking-reduction and tracking-evasion represent different goals with some conflict and overlap.Seirdy's Home
