I'm not the person you asked, but I'm not sure I understand your question and I'd like to. It whiffed multiple common softballs, to the point it brings into question the claims made about its performance. What reasoning is there to trust it?

I'm asking a question. Here's another one for you: Do you believe that all pictures you have ever taken, all emails you have ever written, all code you have ever written could be posted here on this forum to improve someone else's software system? If so, could you go ahead and post that zip? I'd like to ingest it in my model.
It's three files that were scraped from (and so publicly available on) the web. That's not at all similar to your strawful analogy.
Some people just want to argue.
If the copyright holder has a problem with the use, they are perfectly entitled to spend some of their dollar bills to file a law suit, as part of which the contents of the files can be entered into the public record for all to legally access, as was done with Scientology.
I don't expect anyone would be so daft.

#213As others have noted, libmagic detects many more file types than Magika, but I can see Magika being useful for text files in particular, because anything written by humans doesn't have a rigid format.

I'm over here trying to fathom the lack of control over one's own life it would take to cause someone to turn into an online copyright cop, when the data in question isn't even their own, is clearly divorced from any context which would make it useful for anything other than fixing the bug, and about which the original copyright holder hasn't complained. Some people just want to argue. If the copyright holder has a p…

That's an interesting way to frame "publicly posted someone else's data without their consent for anyone to see and download"
I notice you're so invested that you haven't noticed that the files have been renamed and zipped such that they're not even indexable. How you'd expect anyone not participating in software development to find them is yet to be explained.

Literally just asked a question and that seems to have set you off, bud. Are you alright? Do you need to feed your LLM more data to keep it happy?

#218A somewhat surprising and genuinely useful application of the family of techniques. I wonder how susceptible it is to adversarial binaries or, hah, prompt-injected binaries.
It gets a lot of binary file formats wrong for me out-of-the-box. I think it needs to be a bit more effective before we can truly determine the effectiveness of such exploits.

#220Took a .dxf file and fed it to Magika. It says with confidence of 97% that that must be a PowerShell file. A classic .dwg could be "mscompress" (whatever that is), 81%, or a GIF. Both couldn't be further from the truth. Common files are categorized successfully – but well, yeah that's not really an achievement. Pretty much nothing more than a toy right now.
