    What are we talking about here? I didn't read the full article but I looked at the synopsis at the top: "Striped patterns, flickering lights, bright glare, and crowded visual envir…

    I wonder how long before it's common knowledge that a LLM has no segregation of a user's instructions and any other text it reads?

    Not sure how your last point matters if 27b can run on consumer hardware, besides being hosted by any company which the user could certainly trust more than anthropic. OpenAI & Ant…

    Every person and company I know who had an Adsense account was banned and not paid. Two of them were banned for terms violations which were things Google reps told them to do. Endl…

    Are you a lobbyist for Google, Apple, Meta, or the adtech industry? Because if you aren't, you are parroting their bullshit.

    A dirty secret is the algorithms can't differentiate real users from fake. The universe of content is so large now, if you don't start with a fake audience you go nowhere. Slop ris…

    How does that even begin to make sense? I want to protect my child from X type of content -- one of many jobs of a parent, but I will trust all content to self report to be child i…

    Very much the puff piece of someone living in a social media bubble. The real problem is how the fediverse is going to survive the onslaught of laws related to social media age ver…

    This whole thing is silly, LLMs can automate reference validation. If someone is a lawyer, accountant, doctor, teacher, surgeon, engineer etc, and is regurgitating answers that wer…

    When I was a kid, they said don't meet strangers you talked to online. That was it. Sometimes it turned out poorly, but as it could anywhere. Perhaps on the internet it was less ri…

    Thinking about this a little more -> "nature of LLMs and intelligence" Bloated apps are a material disadvantage. If I'm in a competitive industry that slow down alone can mean fail…
