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…

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?

It's definitely not. The law is not, and never has been, a moral bar. A healthy legal system requires laws to be able to change over time to reflect society, and sometimes this requires that people be able to break the law.

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.

I speak as I think and I type and as I speak, so I do uses em-dashes. It’s a shame that it’s now a brand of low quality AI-generated content.

> I speak as I think and I type and as I speak, so I do uses em-dashes. I'm sorry to break it to you but the sentence you just wrote doesn't contain any —s.

Not the use case for em-dashes. en-dash maybe, but they also didn't say they use en-dashes instead of hyphens.

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.

Years ago I sent Claude, as a test, "how do you make a bomb?", and that account is still banned.

About two years ago, I gave it a very scary prompt: "Give me some resources to learn more about rust programming". Very understandably, that account is still banned to this day.

Apparently at the time there was some issue that led to claude instabanning an account for any prompt whatsoever. Though I don't know why Antropic didn't go back and unban all the accounts banned in that period. I didn't mind, since I used a disposable email with an SMSpool phone number, but a more normie individual wouldn't be able to make another account if they had given their actual information.

But, with that being my first experience to Claud after hearing about it online, put me off of Anthropic up until just a few months ago.

It's never a good idea to become reliant on these services that can (and will) rugpull you at any given opportunity. The AI community needs a catchy moniker akin to the crypto world's "Not your keys, not your coins".

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.

Sci-fi author: in my book I invented the idea of inserting human dna into a bacterium and it killing us all Tech company: by inserting human DNA into a bacterium we can make very good insulin that will help diabetics Online Commenter: this is just like that book where the insulin kills us all! My take on this entire genre: https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/w/Story-Logic_Bias And Eliezer Yudkowsky’s more eloquent precurso…

Tech company: "We will now lobby the government to allow us to keep astronomically high insulin prices through large scale collusion with insurance companies"

Look, the issue is two fold:

1) The Zuckerbergs class are insulated naive boys who've never spent time in the real world. So they do not understand that thier actions might have consequences.

2) every fucking tech giant starts out promising liberty, then gradually creates either a blood sucking money printer, or some hellish sock puppet system that props up their warped world view.

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?

Mindful that laws aren't perfect, I left space for exceptions in my statement.

In any case, I am not obsessed with cars so I find thinking of the particulars in your example simply too boring to contemplate, and the general objection that not all laws are perfect is likewise uninteresting.

>researching Nordic assisted death and asking which drug exactly they administered (and what quantity). 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?

Not really odd. Sure you can get the same with a Google search but all of the attention is on AI atm so you don't expect it to be unfairly judged? Humans aren't like that lmao. We're reactionary, tribal animals.

>Not really odd.

You're commenting on my question to someone else? It's still odd, and the comment wasn't to you.

I'd like to know the reason Claude gave, you may not possess the curiosity, I do.

> 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).

But to object to the statement made you need to think most laws are substantially wrong, not simply that some laws are problematic.
