Harry Potter would have posted the original video to YouTube instead. It seems like a tragic irony, and perhaps a sign of danger, that OP posted the demo video to the website of He Who Should Not Be Named. Why? Why?!

Because Twitter posts consisting of YouTube links die quickly. It’s very obvious once you have a few thousand followers. Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose. If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment.

Twitter posts never die if you never post to Twitter in the first place.

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…

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. [0] To be specific, yo…

If you are imagining that, you could imagine it with search doing the same 10 years ago, which would have more thoroughly prevented you from researching things.

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…

Except in the case of video games it in practice means that cheaters get to terrorize your playerbase without being banned. This tactic is the kind of decision that is made by people staring at metrics all day without considering what's going on in reality.

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 entire video and I don't even have an account to log into.

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.)

Why would that comparison be bad if it's accurate? Also, "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Both can be made good and evil.

I hope people at least know that they should not create Skynet.

This is an unhealthy amount of rage to feel about a random person doing something random on the internet

I enjoyed the unfiltered rage, it probably felt good to type.

It did!

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...
