So it seemed safer, but went down hill, like as in less engaging, more boring, that sort of thing?

I didn’t feel like writing a long comment, but yes, good explanation! We really need to reign in these companies because their products are fundamentally untrustworthy.

People have a natural tendency to personify things they know are not people. I’ve seen studies involving (physical) robots, and the robot says it’s sad or something, and people feel bad for it, even though it’s literally just a piece of plastic with some wires inside that looks vaguely humanoid. I don’t think this is going to change in the foreseeable future.

This is complete insanity. They clearly have no idea how to implement effective safeguards.

So it turns out they’re not done shilling for Linux.

When I was a kid, I thought this line was a joke

Yes, I believe that is the case.

Of course in any other application, keeping instructions and data separate is very important. Like an SQL injection attack is when you’re able to sneak instructions in where data is supposed to go, and then you can just delete the entire database, if you want. But with LLMs the distinction doesn’t exist.

Literally what it was doing to me a couple of hours ago.

I wanted a sample QR code image to toss into a mock-up, and the first thing that popped up was the “AI answer” telling me about different places I could get a QR code, and I’m like bro, I’m already on a search engine, there’s an ‘images’ tab right there, which contains what I’m looking for.

I saw a story recently where a guy spent some time with a customer service chatbot, and ended up convincing it to give him 80% off, and then ordered like $6000 of stuff.

LLMs just don’t produce reliable/predictable output, it’s much easier for the user to get them to go off the rails.

The boomers sure did go downhill. From protesting the Vietnam war, to believing slop on facebook…

I was listening to a podcast about dead internet theory the other day, and they talked about some studies that were finding the the internet in general is near 50% bot activity now. I’m sure twitter is much worse than the average.

This bubble can’t burst soon enough.

hey it’s your uber passenger, I’ll be singing along even though I can’t quite figure out what note he’s on. If that doesn’t work for you, please feel free to pick me up anyway.

Honestly surprised to learn that they were still supporting 7-8.1 until now.

Exactly.

If you ditched your car, could you afford to leave the suburbs for a great urban neighborhood?

Actually, yes, because that’s exactly what I did about 5 years ago. No regrets 😊

I didn’t realize how ambiguous my comment was, but I was thinking of the headline, not Omar’s comment.

Sorry I was responding to “Ilhan Omar calls to execute president Trump”.

People who seek help and don’t abuse anyone are ok.

I mean it’s a good idea.
