Running from your problems won't buy you time.
Running away wastes what little time you have left.
Save what time you have left by accepting what is to come, and try to find the best path forward.

@sophieschmieg@infosec.exchange Ironically most GenAI implementations have troubles on producing deterministic output due to floating point errors, inconsistent batching, etc. Not random enough for crypto, but random enough to create replication problems. It's what I call Murphy's Duality Law - In engineering, when a system can show both the property "A" and its negation "not A" depending on the specific context, it's always the opposite of what your application needs.

In case you do not know how GenAI works, here is a very abridged description:
First you train your model on some inputs. This is using some very fancy linear algebra, but can be seen as mostly being a regression of some sorts, i.e. a lower dimensional approximation of the input data.
Once training is completed, you have your model predict the next token of your output. It will do so by creating a list of possible tokens, together with a rank of how good of a fit the model considers the specific token to be. You then randomly select from that list of tokens, with a bias to higher ranked tokens. How much bias your random choice has depends on the "temperature" parameter, with a higher temperature corresponding to a less biased, i.e. more random selection.
Now obviously, this process consumes a lot of randomness, and the randomness does not need to be cryptographically secure, so you usually use a statistical random number generator like the Mersenne twister at this step.
So when they write "using a Gen AI model to produce 'true' random numbers", what they're actually doing is using a cryptographically insecure random number generator and applying a bias to the random numbers generated, making it even less secure. It's amazing that someone can trick anyone into investing into that shit.

In Arizona, private school parents can speak at public school board meetings and vote in board elections. But public school parents can’t freely attend a private school governing body’s meetings, even if the school is funded with taxpayer dollars: https://propub.li/41WKSu6

Trying to decide between Mastodon and GoToSocial for a self hosted future instance on Yunohost, so I'm polling people using either:
If you use:
Mastodon+Yunohost:
How hard was it to get set up? How close does it stay to upstream? Does it take a lot of resources? Does it break often?
GoToSocial + Yunohost:
How reliable is it? Do you find yourself having to go withoput the most recent Masto features often with popular apps?

Davide Chislagi, the Italian inventor, testing his single-wheel engine. 1933. Yes, yes...I know it's not a weird car but if I tag it this way, maybe someone will have a different tag for it. Ta! #weirdcarmastodon

Many years ago, in a land far far away- there was once an encrypted chat once called #Element . These days, it seems it's widely forgotten about, especially with the failed bridges to other platforms.
