Where's that from?
A locked account on twitter. locked = only people who follow him can read his tweets and there's no way to follow until he unlocks. The book is Hyperion.
Ah, thank you.

Preventing crimes before the happen is in general just unquestionably good, about as unambiguous a moral position as being in favour of preventing heart attacks. You might be thinking of punishing for a crime that hasn't yet been committed?
> Preventing crimes before the happen is in general just unquestionably good Is that satire? In a world where as if by magic all crimes are prevented, then there is total power in the hands of those who define what a crime is, including being able to label protest as a criminal act. Complete crime prevention is a totalitarian police state.
> Is that satire?
are you projecting your fears?
The general point of society is that there is a collective agreement that people should live by a set of rules, and if you step outside of those rules, you will be punished.
It could be simple as someone telling you off for being rude, all the way up to prison for a huge transgression.
As ever with all things human, life exists on a spectrum. on the one had you have complete anarchy, where you are on your own with no redress from others, to complete cult like rigidity, where you have no agency.
However putting barriers up in the way to stop people easily committing crime (ie locks, drink driving bans, drivers license, restrictions on what items you can call miracle cures) are noble and mostly uncontroversial. It only really becomes a controversy when it either causes hardship, or more likely it means that people who are currently profiting from a morally grey action will lose money.

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.

#274Why so many negative comments on this? I find it cool. I showed this to my son and he absolutely loved it. The author is clearly a fan and this by no means is a production-grade product. Just someone tinkering in their free time and gave the DIY guide away for free. I just don’t understand the negativity.
o_O am I missing something? Did you show them the github repo, or the disappointing 5 second video of chat gpt from twitter? I was excited too until I saw it actually running and was like… huh. ChatGPT for tablet. Righto. What was your son so impressed by?
The video. He’s 6. To you it’s just ChatGPT. To him it’s “magic like the movie”.
Update: what video were you referring to? I mean the demo video he posted on Twitter.

#275It's been years I've been wondering if I should buy a reMarkable, or if it's just another gadget.
This might be the reason I finally do it. Thanks for such a cool demo.

> if by magic The problem is the means not the ends. This magic doesn’t exist. In practice is authoritarian surveillance. If we could kiss a mushroom and bias the universe’s dice such that crime just…wouldn’t happen, yes, that would be good, though it would also open up a plot hole of consequences we, in the real world, don’t need to worry about in general.
It won't be good, as the definition of what's a crime and what is not changes due to political reasons (read corruption).

#277Ironically, 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...

Odd ban. The countries with legally passed instances use similar drugs/processes — you could research about those, wiki, google, actual websites, dignitas et al. No ban needed. Was the ban reason spelt out? Was it your wording?

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…

It's not actually. Think about it for a moment and you'll see life is full of tensions between preventing crimes and freedom / utility.
It's most obvious on the roads. Few non-commercial vehicles will limit your speed to the national maximum. Wouldn't a strict interpretation of your opinion imply speed governors?

I always find it strange how many HN commenters appear to have unconsciously added "exclusively" or "without exception" to the text of the comment they're replying to.

You're missing the point of the meme, which is not "technology is bad", but "technologists theming their new poorly-tested invention after a popular story where the invention hurts people is gross".
If your tech company calls its product "The Genophage™" it's fair to ask if they're taking the safety/ethics implications very seriously.
