Ironically, Tom Riddle's diary encouraging kids to commit suicide [1] and then showing them how to do it would be more on brand than the version in the books. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_linked_to_chatbots#Suic...

Every AI would refuse the prompt. I was banned for researching Nordic assisted death and asking which drug exactly they administered (and what quantity). Claude refused, alerted Anthropic, and I was banned a couple days later. Thankfully the appeal form worked, but by then I was using a different Claude account praying they didn’t ban me again.

There’s an uncensored model floating around that you can run locally with llama.cpp: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rq7jtm/qwen353... it’s annoying to use since you run out of context window quickly, and it’s certainly not able to be deployed in production (i.e. Tom Riddle’s diary as a service).

For better or worse, fun is no longer allowed. It coincided with “AI psychosis” being coined as a term.

Can anyone verify that you can/can’t see a video if you’re not logged in?

I can see the video and view the first three seconds or so, but after that, it throws up a login prompt.

An incognito window let me watch the whole 25 seconds with the user writing something and three book writing back, but I don't know if my IP or incognito cookies or anything else are special.

Amusingly, I made the same thing late last year, though just on an ordinary computer, allowing you to draw in the browser. I used pageflip [0] with styling akin to Riddle's actual diary and a tiny local model crafted for roleplay via ollama. I remember writing "my name is Harry Potter, what is yours?" and getting back Snape, Malfoy, and even Harry Potter back across a number of iterations. After completing my experiment I learned I wasn't the first to think of this idea and found a few other similar AI Riddle diaries out there.

Incidentally, I have a Remarkable 2 and as of this weekend an m4 iPad air. Maybe I'll test this one out and see what the landscape for running models on iOS looks like.

Thank you. As someone who tweets, this is helpful to know.

There's a video if you click around... https://x.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432?s=20

https://xcancel.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432?... For those without X accounts

thanks! Now having seen the video, certainly not as cool as it sounds.

It would be ironic if you have to actually sign out from Twitter, not just use incognito mode, to bypass the signup nag. Or if they mark IPs as “signed up” or something. Thanks.

After clicking play, there's a prompt to log in. I had to use a video downloader service to watch it

could be regional cuz that don't happen in the US. they play right away regardless of log in status

That's simply not true.

A new high water mark for R T F A.

Can't use the Twitter links if you don't have a Twitter account. Also, why make the user click away when they're trying to understand if your product does something interesting, and why do they need an account on an unrelated service when an image/gif embed would get the message across in 5 seconds?

There are many workarounds like xcancel and nitter.net and xcancel.com that have been operating for a couple of years now. This is Hacker News, not Consumer Reports.
