British accent review time!

"Nature Show Host": not David Attenborough, surprisingly

"Compelling Lady": nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday

"Upset Girl": this is more the voiceover that would be used on depressing animal charity adverts

"Magnetic Man": you can't fool me, that's an American

"Patient Man": patience gives you reverb. The word "British" is spoken with a very non-British accent.

Not to be all Henry Higgins, but these are all "placeless" accents and there are no regional accent options. I was looking forward to trying Computer Mancunian. But I can see why for marketing voiceover people want "global neutral British".

UX review: "failed to generate speech". Only the example phrases work.

I just want to be able to speak like James Acaster.

Kettering accent generator when :(

Parent says “I taught my 5yo how to” — this means their 5yo learned a process.

OP says “I taught LLM how to see” and this should mean the LLM (which is capable of being taught/learning) internalized how to. It did not, it was given a tool that does seeing and tells it what things are.

People are very interested in getting good local LLMs with vision integrated, and so they want to read about it. Next to nobody would click on the honest “I enabled an LLM to use a Google service to identify objects in images”, which is what OP actually did.

I can second this...Been trying to get local LLMs to play through Pokemon Emerald (with virtually 0 success).

I'm under the impression I'm being hampered by a separation of 'brain' and 'eyes', as I have yet to find a reasoning + vision local model that fits on my Mac, and played with two instances of qwen (vision and reasoning) to try to solve, but no real breakthroughs yet. The requirements I've given myself are fully local models, and no reading data from the ROM that the human player cannot be aware of.

I was hoping OP was able to retro-fit vision onto blind models, not just offload it to a cloud model. It's still an interesting write-up, but I for sure got click-baited

You’ve completely missed the point, it’s saying that the skill will need you to provide a Trello API key but he hasn’t declared that it will need that

Subsequently they’ve included the use of curl but also haven’t declared that either which means that it _could_ leak your key if you provide it one. That’s why it’s suspicious - virus total has flagged that you should probably review the skill.md

dpoloncsak · 5 days ago
Oh, I see. Seems obvious you would need an API key in this context but I get the idea that it's an undeclared but required var, which could be shady

I see a number of uploaded skills on the site with bash and python scripts. No idea what runs them

VirusTotal is completely useless for this though? You need enough people to be pwned by that particular piece of malware for it to be flagged as dangerous, by which point the attackers would've already repacked it so it doesn't match the previous signature.

Adding on here...

VirusTotal is flagging the trello skill as suspucious because it Does NOT include an API key? Am i expected to share my keys if I want to upload a skill?

https://clawhub.ai/steipete/trello

"Requiring TRELLO_API_KEY and TRELLO_TOKEN is appropriate for Trello access, but the registry records no required env vars while SKILL.md documents them. This omission is problematic: the skill will need highly privileged credentials but the published metadata does not disclose that requirement. The SKILL.md also references 'jq' and uses curl, but these are not declared in the registry entry."

Who is scanning these skills for malware? This seems like a prime target for malicious actors.

These are single-file .MDs, right? Written in markdown...

Can't you just read it?

So let's recap:

- I click skills.

- The first one is WireGuard "... secure routing and key management".

- I'd download it, hook it to this bot running on my system.

- I'd ask the bot to store / manage super-secret keys that protect actual servers with user data and personal details and god knows what...

- The bot follows my commands by spelunking random snippets of markdown, running other programs on my computer, doing web searches, reading what it finds on the web and giving itself more commands to do...

I've only been in tech for like 20 years or so but I feel like either I'm missing something substantial or some kind of madness is happening to people.

You're downloading untested code from an unknown user on a random literally just-spun-up 'marketplace' and are shocked when it doesn't work

Do you believe that it was correct for the government to arrest him?
dpoloncsak · 11 days ago
Morally or legally?

Morally, no. Legally, yes.

Much like the illegalization of marijuana, I can both be against a law and understand that while breaking the law I may face consequences.

What about consequences for violating your 4th amendment? That ice is seemingly doing every day now?
dpoloncsak · 11 days ago
There should be consequences for this too. I don't think the answer is to fight fire with fire, though...

I'm probably wrong. Don't take me too seriously.
