Steps 2 and 3 of your method already make it way too hard to remember

Just pick like 6 random, unconnected, reasonably uncommon words and make that your entire password

Capitalize the first letter and stick a 1 at the end

The average English speaker has about 20k words in their active vocab, so if you run the numbers there's more entropy in that than in your 11 character suggestion.

Alternatively use your method but deliberately misquote it slightly and then just keep it in its full form.

Step 2 is “hard”? Seriously???

I don't know how you're meant to remember that "Works" and "Mighty" are capitalized

In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn't add any meaningful entropy.

If you try to harden it further, by using more words

Yours doesn't scale due to step 3.

On the other hand, much like battery staple, it's pretty easy to make up a visual or story in your head to connect the words.

Also, why would you need to scale this past 6 words? At that point it's already more likely that your password is compromised via a keylogger or similar than anything else.

Even in English, a language that typically uses short words, your method requires ~30 characters per password.

I'll accept this as a downside of the method, but honestly a website that limits your password character length to under 30 is probably doing some other weird shit that isn't good.

Also, the only time you should really be using this method is if for some reason you don't want to use a password manager. Not many scenarios like that that also limit characters.

yet the harder to remember

I feel like the exact opposite is true? Pretty easy to remember "defenestrate". Much easier than remembering which m turns into a 3 in your method.

The 11 characters password is not the suggestion, but an example,

I'm aware how examples work. It's 11 characters long and already too hard to remember.

pick a quote that you know by heart

so step 1 is actually "learn a long, obscure quote by heart" because obviously it can't be a common quote or it completely breaks the method, and the only quotes you're likely to know are common

you're right this is so easy

you’re still confusing the example with what it exemplifies.

In most other quotes, the only capitalization occurs once at the start, so it doesn't add any meaningful entropy.

At this rate it’s rather clear that you’re unable to parse simple sentences,

somebody's a little spicy over the fact that they gave terrible advice :(

slurpyslop ,

yeah because if musk wasn't involved, lemmy's community always loves news on the latest ai hype cycle

slurpyslop ,

As for AI training, that produces AIs. It's not wasteful.

👀

slurpyslop ,

Ah yes, the wrong kind of technology.

what point do you think you're making here?

it's /c/technology, not "/c/unquestionedpraisefortechnology"

If it's a "hype cycle" I guess it'll be going away aaaaaany day now.

my guy even people within the ai r&d sphere acknowledge that it's a hype cycle

slurpyslop ,

people still use nfts

slurpyslop ,

the citation is because the only way you could claim ai isn't in a hype cycle at the moment is if you don't know that that's a defined term within tech spaces

slurpyslop ,

I use NFTs for a variety of productive purposes. You may not, and that's fine, but that's just you. You can't dismiss anything that you personally don't have a use for as "wasteful."

slurpyslop ,

"it's not wasteful because now they're only wasting less resources"

slurpyslop ,
  • nfts are wasteful
  • your justification for ai not being a wasteful use of resources is that you personally use them
  • people still use nfts
slurpyslop ,

But NFTs aren't wasteful.

i feel this take is a pretty good justification not to care about your opinion on things

slurpyslop ,

"it's not wasteful because now they're only wasting less resources"

slurpyslop ,

oh no their ai is broken they're stuck in a loop

slurpyslop ,

it was the WEIRDEST bug in our chess ai you guys

the pawn captured another pawn that was NEXT TO IT

like what's going on there

slurpyslop ,

you're confusing AI with AGI/GI when they're separate things

we've had AI for a very, very long time

slurpyslop , (edited )

tbh if ai ever reaches its full potential, it will probably be responsible for massively reversing global warming, because when the entire population is unemployed, they won't be able to afford to travel, heat their homes, buy products, or eat, all four of which are key contributors to emissions

slurpyslop ,

an opinion piece is a form of article 🤓

slurpyslop ,

until i pay a doctor in some rogue country $200 to put me in the system as dead when i'm not

slurpyslop ,

it stresses me out that techbros exist out there who are this utterly clueless about the space they're trying to revolutionize

slurpyslop ,

revolutionizing the underage drinking industry

literally all they need now is a qr code

they can even all share the same one

slurpyslop ,

excuse after excuse after excuse

"i can't afford to" seems like a fairly watertight 'excuse' to me?
