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…

This is one of the reasons I currently use Gemini for daily use and research. Google has lots of experience with search history, and presumably handles this better than new companies.

This is also the main reason I currently use Gemini. I hate my gmail account, my Android phone is annoying, and I spend too much time on Youtube, so hopefully they take my access away to all of these soon.

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." https://x.com/AlexBlechman/status/1457842724128833538?lang=e...

Of course, that tweet was talking about the Metaverse. So really it should be classic sci-fi novel "Neal Stephenson Invents A Ton Of Cool Things, But The Torment Nexus May Be The Coolest."

Like, I love the Torment Nexus trope, but it's somehow gotten coined with the worst first example imaginable, and the only reason it works as a meme is that nobody realizes this.

(The problem with the Zuckerverse is exactly that it's not the Metaverse from Snow Crash. The whole point of the Metaverse is that it's built on open protocols! It's literally got a geometric representation of IPv4 in it!)

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…

There are many uncensored versions on huggingface. Almost every open weight model has an uncensored version. With Gemma uncensored you can quite easily setup a meth lab at home. Or create your own centrifuge for enriching uranium.

The ease by which you can get banned worries me. It seems unavoidable that soon AI will manage its own suspicion level, provide feedback on it, and when high enough it will call the authorities.. because that's what people do. Banning doesn't cut it, like you can't deny internet access. Soon this will spiral out of control and AI (Palantir) will have to run the response and the parallel AI state erects itself. A citi…

Don’t stop here in this comments section. You’ve got the makings of a novel.

gotta catch 'em at the right time of a sprint cycle

I still find people trying to run sprints when working with agents, but then saying things like "my sprint length went from 10 days, to 5 days to 3 days", but they balk at the notion that maybe sprints aren't fit for purpose anymore.

Wasn't that Kool-Aid? (yeah, I know that's not sold in cans, and actually it was Flavor-Aid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid#Backgrou... )

Different meme, about adtech-driven dystopia. See original greentext [0] [0] https://files.catbox.moe/eqg0b2.png

Ah, ok, thanks for the clarification!

Hrm, it sounds like they're managing their liability. Anything that might get them sued later?

Exactly. I don’t fault them for it, but it’s a scary experience having Claude shut off.

Why exactly is it so scary?

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.

It’s not accurate, it’s absurd hyperbole no different from the kind the people who peddle it have arrogantly ridiculed their entire lives. A mentally unstable person being “made” to do something by a chatbot is no different from other mentally unstable people doing bad things because they saw them in a TV show.

This is sick, in the 90's Tony Hawk sense of the word. I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now. There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week. We are not in the slow times anymore.

You think technology was the bottleneck? Your button was not important and should not consume resources of any kind and definitely not engineering resources. It taking a week was a feature, not a bug. It meant engineering properly evaluated the priority and urgency of tasks. Your magic slotmachine will enable a level of shit-producing and warped perception of engineering effort of breathtaking scale. It will have con…

How is it warping the perception?
