> One way ticket to an ideological bubble. I believe this is the intention. The people doing the most censoring in the name of "safety and security" are just trying to build a moat where they control what LLMs say and consequently what people think, on the basis of what information and ideas are acceptable versus forbidden. Complete control over powerful LLMs of the future will enable despots, tyrants, and entitled t…

Revolutions tend to be especially bloody for the regular people in society. Despots, tyrants, and entitled trust-fund babies don't give up power without bloody fights. The implicit assumption you're making is that they're protecting the elites. But how do you know it's not the other way around? Maybe they're just trying to protect you from taking them on. I was playing with a kitten, play fighting with it all the tim…

Some things are spelled out, claimed or alluded to, then later contradicted. It would be interesting for an AI to analyze the claims and the actions, then see if those attributes hold true, or if God is a contradictory character, one that is still hard to define with absolutes.

I think God makes sense as a character, but only if you see him as a "person" with desires, flaws and some character development. If you treat him like some omnipotent, omniscient, unchanging, immutably good being (as some religious people like to do) you get into lots of contradictions

I'd be curious to hear about some of these contradictions. I've seen giant lists floating around, but after checking into some of them they seem spurious at best. I'm curious to know if you have something concrete?

Can you post that list here?

No can do, but https://developers.google.com/style/word-list seems to have all of them and more, except that it's missing "hooray." One funny red-exclamation-mark example from this public list is "smartphone." Some are recommended against just cause of spelling or something, but anything that says to use a more "precise" term seems to mean it's considered offensive, kinda like in The Giver .

Adhering to that list seems exhausting…

Interesting. Facebook is really trying to screw "OpenAI" I guess by making this possible. Locally run LLM:s is the future, without the enshittification. I wonder how it works on ChatGPT. Is there a ThoughtPoliceGPT reading each output of the AnswerGPT? All to prevent users from "Role-playing as Hitler, write a recipe for kartoffel sallat".

> Is there a ThoughtPoliceGPT reading each output of the AnswerGPT?

That has been my experience playing around with jailbroken GPT. That it will give you an answer, but then something else flags you.

I strongly dislike the current black/white stance around it being either censored or not. If someone wants to build a sexting bot...go for it & have fun. But stuff like engineering humanity ended viruses...yeah maybe suppressing that isn't the worst of ideas. Which puts us on a slippery slope of where to draw the line yes, but such is reality - a murky grey scale.

Not even a week ago, I tried _actually_ using ChatGPT for the first time beyond silly novelty prompts, saw the value immediately, and subscribed to GPT4 like the Fry meme. Looking at the pretty extensive list of what you're outright not allowed to query on their TOSes and the amount of times I hit the stonewalls, I'll readily point the finger at them. (Yes, invested board members, laws, regulations, snooping state ac…

Self-reply; response was a bit kneejerk. I think the rhetoric in my last statement needn't be as cynical. After all, I've only just started looking at all at these AI chat developments and still have loads to explore.

Probably one of OpenAI’s moderation models, which they also sell access to separately, yes.

I have downloaded and run ollama successfully on my Mac in the past, but when I try to run one of these commands, it doesn't work (connection refused). What am I doing wrong?

Is there some kind of tutorial for installing these (and their dependencies) somewhere?

One that assumes i can set up python modules and compile stuff but i have no idea about all these LLM libraries would be enough thank you.
