Trailblazing Braille Taser

I wonder whether there was an infantarchal society where they took direction from toddlers. I suppose they wouldn’t have lasted very long if they did exist…

The American mind cannot comprehend the trolley problem, nor trolleys for that matter

Ever wonder why you’re getting ads for melatonin?

… was he ok?

I’m sympathetic if you’re living off the grid and don’t use public infrastructure. But the “sovereign citizens” that we usually hear about have already implicitly accepted the social contract and are now trying to weasel out of the consequences. The license plates that say “private; no license required” are just utter balogna.

That said, I’m completely in support of nonviolent resistance against unjust laws. But most sovereign citizens, in my estimation, are not protesting in support of any higher cause.

Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.

In chats between humans, I agree that it’s near pointless to try to censor. In chats between humans and LLMs, I suspect you can get pretty far with regex or badwords.txt filtering. That said, I haven’t tried, so who knows.

Teach your kids to play music with cat /dev/fd0 >/dev/snd.

Sorry if I offended you? My point is just that it’s possible to make a crappy “is forbidden topic” classifier with a regular expression. Probably good enough to completely obliterate the topic in chats between humans and bots. Definitely good enough to claim you attempted to develop guardrails for vulnerable users.

We’re still interacting with LLMs through layers of classical software, which can be programmed to detect phrases related to suicide.

I miss the days when buttons had words on them instead of hieroglyphics.

The thing that people don’t understand yet is that LLMs are “yes men”.

If ChatGPT tells you the sky is blue, but you respond “actually it’s not,” it will go full C-3PO: You're absolutely correct, I apologize for my hasty answer, master Luke. The sky is in fact green.

Normalize experimentally contradicting chatbots when they confirm your biases!

Do not give Bezos ideas about uploading brains to the cloud. He would make AWS CloudEmployee, an employee-as-a-service product that lets you scale your business up or down, without expensive layoffs and bad PR.

On the other hand, I’m not sure I’d prefer another “opiate of the masses”.

Surely you’re joking? People do it on YouTube to avoid automated detection. You would be laughed out of court for trying to assert copyright over a reversed video as a derivative work.
