Very cool. I don't have a remarkable, but have the Amazon Kindle Scribe. Same idea. Would any of you be so kind to waste your precious Fable tokens on getting something like this working there? I have other plans for my remaining Fable tokens. :0

Lame.

I understand that this is kind of beside the point, but it seems like a bad thing to compare inventions to haunted artifacts that mind controlled their users into betraying their friends to a powerfully evil being. (Though since it is being powered by GenAI, which has also driven people to do bad things, perhaps it is an apt comparison.)

At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel "Don't Create The Torment Nexus."

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…

Wait, so instead of saying "I'm sorry Dave, I can't talk about that", they're now banning you for one blocked prompt? Is this new?

As far as I can tell, Claude flagged me as high risk of suicide and then Anthropic issued a ban later on.

It wasn’t one prompt, it was a detailed conversation where I was trying to find out the exact dosage of barbiturates that assisted suicide programs use.

> it’s certainly not able to be deployed in production Why not?

It’s a PITA to offer a language model as a service. You’d need a beefy server, at minimum.

This particular use case might work, since no one can write fast enough to consume too many tokens — the whole session should fit in the context window. But you’ll need to handle all the people connecting to your service indefinitely, which will become expensive for a hobby project.

But sure, theoretically you could deploy it if you have resources. I’m not sure what you’d use to create instances of chat sessions, or if llama.cpp offers an API you can build the app on top of (probably) or whether that’s a workable solution.
