Ya know, maybe we could just not have robots that sprint. Seems people would be more willing to accept living amongst robots that are slow and that humans could easily over power.

> maybe we could just not have robots that sprint That would make it less effective in situations that would be better handled if sprinting was a feature.

In daily life, it's rarely wise to be running. In industrial settings less so.

So it might be a good idea to kneecap household robots in that respect.

That taco is going to show up cold and soggy. All these delivery services for cold and soggy food. I don't get it. When I get my al pastor I want as little time to pass between the taquero slicing it off with his machete and it hitting my mouth as possible.

Those seem to be unclear instructions that could result in Grok shoving the taco down your throat.

Or some fresh slicing with a macheta on the wrong parts.

Why is it sprinting toward me? Is it pulling me out of a burning car or is it hunting me?

i think we know which model is doing which.

To both of you I highly recommend watching Mars Express (2023 movie). It might not always be as straightforward.

The "writing part" is not neatly separable from the "ideas part," much as AI-writing defenders would like to pretend so.

My argument is that randomly accusing something of being AI and pretending that it's bad merely because you think it's AI, is not good/good faith. Whether you think some writing is AI or not is besides the point. If the writing sucks, explain why. Not everyone shares your position that if something is written by AI it's automatically bad. And for the record, you can have a lengthy conversation with an AI to communica…

"That's literally just the output from a random word picker."

"Don't engage with the mechanism of production! Engage with the content! If it's bad, explain how it's bad! Not everyone believes the output of a random word picker is automatically bad!"

What about that makes you think it was written by AI?

Since you asked...I've gone to the effort to pull out the parts of the article that I think show it: "That’s the part most benchmarks can’t see, and it’s what this post is about." Classic "it's not x, it's x", shows up in various forms throughout the article. "To me, this is the most fascinating finding from this entire experiment - we saw very clear alignment tax being paid by certain models, which directly impacted…

None of these feel AI to me. Phrases like "what this post is about" feel like anti-AIisms.

How do you know this is written by AI? Why does it matter if it is?

If you're outsourcing your writing to AI, I assume you're outsourcing your thinking to it as well. And I don't really care what some weighted average of all human text written on the topic "thinks."

I'm OP in the thread and I don't agree with this.

AI writing is fine, but you can't just stop on the first draft, any more than you can while AI coding (in fact, even less so - your coding is read by computers and to an extent either works or doesn't; your writing is for humans, and not only needs to convey ideas but also needs to hold the reader.)

Shipping an unedited draft is lazy. Advertising and SEO filler that nobody will ever read can maybe get away with it, but if you're writing for humans, _READ_ the output critically and edit.

If the claim is true that Claude values white people less than other races, then yes. Any other softball questions?

How do these mechanics work where you are being oppressed by a language model?

Have you thought about not using it?

How many times have you been passed over by claude for healing of your terminal illness?

Unsurprisingly, the blog they're quoting is just straight up white nationalist trash:

"Cut off nonwhite immigration, meaning dropping it by at least 90%, similar to the Quotas Acts, with the top priorities being Mexico, India, and the rest of Latin America and the Caribbean. Ideally, you would increase white immigration too, because even in the absence of further immigration the white (meaning American) population will be a minority in a few decades, and it’s very difficult for a minority to assimilate others."
