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

What did you expect? For me the video is basically what I expected. Maybe a cool/spookier "full page" reveal but that doesn't really work with the token speed well.

I expected, from the description, it to look like text was being written by hand -- with the letterforms being stroked at roughly human pen speeds. Not just a fancy font over a text box being entered character by character. The description WAY oversells it.

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.)

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale. Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.

"one of my favorite conceits is from the novel [redacted] where they spend the entire book talking about the threat of the space hun invader barbarian belters and how backwards but feral they are and then when you finally meet them they're sophisticated egalitarian transhumanists and all the characters you've been following have been living in space north korea, functionally enslaved and living out their lives blithely consuming copium state propaganda

the 'torment nexus' is what you'd call heaven if we built it and you weren't in it"

For a dash of dystopia: Imagine a company starts using that same LLM fuzzy-matching [0] against what you intend to be normal search activity , to detect "bad" queries and "bad" users who will be blocked. Maybe they'll delete your SSO/email/videos/photos too, who knows. I can easily imagine it happening, especially after some point where they start using the same systems to "enhance" your query.

That is in fact what happened to me, except I think the final decision was made by a human since the ban came later. I didn’t issue any queries in between, so I know it was my convo about barbiturates.

It has nothing to do with human decisions. Bans always come later because it's a best way to make sure most people who get banned would never know what are they banned for exactly and what threshold there is,

The same tactics used in game development against cheaters. If it would ban you right after prompt you'll know how to avoid getting banned.

Obviously that didn't worked for you because you wasn't doing multiple attempts to bypass filters like if you were jailbreaking it by repeatedly trying different stuff.

Holy shit this looks tacky. Response speed is WAY too fast for the effect of feeling like something is writing on the other side. Text is very much written in the style of an LLM. > an answer writes itself back in a flowing hand, stroke by stroke, then fades away. Characters aren't "flowing" at all, it's very much just printing text. Like, I could change my terminal font to a fancy font and get very much the same vis…

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…

Orwell's idea of "wrongthink" is more relevant than ever.

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...

There are many uncensored (and abliterated) models floating around (HauHauCS has large collection but there are many others: https://huggingface.co/HauhauCS). I'm using `Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Uncensored-Q4_K_M` (the one referenced in your link) because I find it's writing style much more interesting when you push go off the guardrails a bit, and because I think self-censoring when effectively using an advanced journal is variety of dystopian I'm not ready to accept

> 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).

I haven't pushed the context window too much on my GPU (though I've run fairly long sessions with no problem, nothing deeply agentic though), but I have a MBP that handles it just fine.

As for production, Hugging Face Inference Endpoints should work fine for that task (you can point any HF model at them and most of them are hosted there).

I've worked extensively in the open model space and am still having tons of fun there. If anything it's gotten aggressively better in recent months.

You can still open a single post just fine

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

I can see the video poster, but clicking on it opens a login popup rather than playing it. However, the thing is a link, and opening https://x.com/MaximeRivest/status/2073544461473169432/photo/... directly does play it.

Like rat poison. If it works too fast, the rats learn to avoid it.
