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.

How do you even do an em dash? I don't even thing I've got that on my keyboard

I’m a bépoète™ — it’s that simple!

Wait, so instead of saying "I'm sorry Dave, I can't talk about that", they're now banning you for one blocked prompt? Is this new?

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.

>...it was a detailed conversation...

Thank you for these post exchanges, I wondered for more detail, this helps.

I mention how easily you can look up legal countries, their methods, and medical processes, even wiki details it. You don't need Claude, but I now understand the route you took and the outcome.

> stylelint beeps you can't just pass hex colors directly, that color is not in our design system, you need to write a design doc for custom color tokens and get approval from the frontend platform team, open a PR in their repo, make sure you have storybook tests covering all the color button variants, ask in their slack channel for approve, ask their manager, wait. someone from their team leaves a comment: "we shoul…

Probably should be telling the design team to actually use the colours that are approved then.

Nah we don't do this "communicate" thing in here.

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 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.

What you're missing is that it is enough for one single law to be problematic.

If we had a complete, utopian set of amazing laws that provide happiness to all, and I add just one law : "All citizens have to agree with every edict, statement or choice of SiempreViernes. Expressing disagreement or doubt is a crime, punishable by exile, lynching or lifetime imprisonment."

All of a sudden this society just became a nightmare. Yes the majority of people can probably still live an OK life, but that single law has a gigantic downstream effect on happiness, stress levels of all, and life expectancy of free thinkers.

Now add the idea that you're able to perfectly prevent crime, and you now have a totalitarian surveillance panopticon in place to prevent me from even writing any doubts into my personal journal.

The problem I have with this is not that I disagree with it, it's a good observation, it's that it ignores humans are very example biased and we really don't have many good positive examples, there's a dearth of positive / utopian perspective in fiction and it's absence sets the overton window handily I mean the Jetson's is one of the examples that comes to mind when I'm reaching for a positive example of future robo…

That's a very interesting observation. Why do you suppose that is? Naively I suspect that humans can't envision that kind of utopia without some authority keeping it in order, and power is ultimately a corrupting force so the story always plays out the same.
