I’m not sure I’d put it like that (again anyways, I had a bad time when I did), but it is a really important point: when did these folks start legislating from Atherton or whatever (Le Defense)? Doing harmful shit via computers is already really friggin illegal, and if we need even more draconian computer crime laws? I say they get passed by like, a legislature or something. Fuck private individuals and/or corporatio…

You don’t have a right to make other peoples computers do stuff they don’t want their computers to do.

I agree.

Aaand it's because of bullshit like this that platforms are evil and ought not be used...

Evil? Clumsy, lazy and risk averse - yes. Stupid? Uncaring? Infuriating? Yes. Can we save "evil" for now deserving cases?

Platforms in general are evil by their nature. (Unlike protocols.) Some are less evil than others of course.

I cancelled my mobile phone subscription, and this a problem I'm facing. What workarounds are available for people who have no mobile phone number when they want to so sign in to a service that requires a phone number for validation ?

5€ unregistered sim card from your local Späti (bodega) down the street

Is Späti used in international English?

If you are willing to make an account. I don't. There are enough free and open LLMs now which you can use without an account.

And without a mobile number. What is it with these US AI companies requiring mobile numbers?

Anthropic is doing everything they can to not get people to use their product.

It's like they're living in an alternate reality where OpenAI doesn't exist and people are fighting each other over a piece of them. Lol.

> Is that a German firm offering enterprise prison services? That's so passé. These days those firms are all American.

Nah, you missed the AG (Aktiengesellschaft) in the joke…

Ah. Too subtle in an international context, should have made it "GUL.AG." or something :-)

It truly is. Like Google's AI that does not let you create images of faces rolls eyes It is just kinda silly, when ChatGPT cannot tell me how to make a bot to publish posts on my own forum (I did it myself in the end) saying it is for ethical reasons, when OpenAI bots scrape tonnes of sites daily in such an aggressive manner that it comes near to a DOS attack =/

Gemini creating images of a diverse set of Nazis including black males and Asian females in response to a "create an image of WWII German soldiers" prompt was the moment AI safety jumped the shark for me. I was hoping it would cause a deep introspection on what we are actually trying to accomplish with AI Safety, because this clearly isn't it.

AI in itself is cool, but right now it feels like a lot of manual labor is done to fine-tune it to try and compensate for its imperfect source materials to make it fit someone else's ideas of inclusivity and neutrality and the like, which defeats the purpose.
