#12Hahahaha c++ too dangerous for young minds
The claim has been that there are prompts adding this to the model, and that these censorships are not part of the model itself. I HIGHLY doubt that. This is embedded in the training set. Good thing we have capitalism, which will push for the best model

#13I feel bad for them, damned if they do damned if they don't.
Sundar is going to have a new task to deal with the press that mocks Gemini, and soon the next new task to keep explaining why this keeps happening to Google's shareholders.

#14Anyone familiar with C++ willing to speculate what about the language feature (or things people have written about it) that may have triggered the safety guardrails? Something like a blog post cheekily titled "C++ concepts: adult supervision required"?
I have on good word that it was miserably failing image generations for "picture of a smart person" and they were pushed to release anyway, and the prompt injection mitigation needed to be more nuanced.
Rest is standard bad Google LLM, I assure you.

#19This is definitely an age gate I’ll stand behind. C++ has unimaginable power to ruin the minds of our young children.
> 1972 - Dennis Ritchie invents a powerful gun that shoots both forward and backward simultaneously. Not satisfied with the number of deaths and permanent maimings from that invention he invents C and Unix. http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2009/05/brief-incomplete-and-m...
The question occurs to me because I feel like I just spent 30 years on forums like HN reading nothing but effusive praise for the cleverness and elegance of C and Unix.

#20The last 15 years we've seen some of the most awful and bizarre things happen on social media where motivating mantra seemed to be "move fast and break things."
Now we have a company "trying" to be more responsible when they are releasing a new technology and they are having hilariously terrible results... (hilarious because unlike the social media case, I dont think these faux pauxs have important real world consequences).
