  • Baltimore bridge collapse: crew members from ship still held by US two years on

  • « Authorities have confiscated crew members’ passports to restrict travel, the sources said. They are allowed to move freely around Baltimore, but require the FBI’s permission to travel to other states.

    “I’ve never seen this [detainment] before,” said a source. “It’s very unusual. But nobody wants to get into a shouting match with the FBI »

    FBI can do whatever the fuck they want apparently because you know… it’s not appropriate to tell them not to

  • Your post was very clear on what you were doing and how you were doing it, my question is why were you doing it, beyond your desire to see what it had to say, which is pretty much implied the moment you willfully prompt an LLM.

    To get to the point I was trying to reach : As I’m sure you know, the output of an LLM is meant to reflect its training data (and further data it might search on the internet for), largely based on a statistical analysis of said data, all this directed by your prompt.

    Using the term “slop” pushes the LLM to give more weight to the parts of its data where the same word appears, and so on for the rest of your prompt.

    The result is that, what the LLM “thinks” is ultimately what humans have tended to write about, bar the possible distortion due to the amount of randomness introduced by the designers (LLM “temperature”).

    These “thoughts” are not based on an analysis of the actual truth behind the words we use, but rather on an analysis of what other words appear alongside the words you have put in your prompt.

    In this case, what your efforts reveal, is that human discourse where the words in your prompt occur the most, is most likely to talk about critical thinking, not-trusting AI and whatever else is included in the output you got.

    In other words, this output is not even a reflection of the general credit and trust that humans give or not to LLM outputs, but a reflection of what those of us who use “slop” have written on the subject. So basically you put on a filter for “negative responses only” in the first place, since “slop” is basically a slur at this point.

    Based on my own observation of human discourse on the subject, I find that the output is a rather accurate reflection of what humans write about when it comes to “slop” and actual “facts”. What I make out of your results, is that the LLM is not only working as intended, but has successfully and accurately given you what you asked of it (a clear and concise document summarizing what humans who have a negative opinion on the subject say on the supposed-facts presented in LLM output)

    If anything, having the LLM reply something else would be a stronger indication of their untrustworthiness, since I’m pretty sure that nobody writes something along the lines of “AI slop gives us an accurate reflection of well-established facts and the real world.” or “You should believe in AI slop, it’s all real world facts”.

    Rest assured that I remain more interested in what you have to say than in the output of an LLM, and I do put a lot more trust in your capabilities to distinguish between what people generally say and actual facts.

    I think I actually knew this at some point but somehow it completely slipped my mind.

  • What version are you running? I just tried on Ventura, worked fine on both a .dmg package and some terminal script, both unsigned, and both would need the settings thing if I simply double clicked to open. You still get a prompt, but you have an “open anyways” option.

  • So you trust AI enough to let it tell you that it shouldn’t be trusted but if you can’t trust AI that means it could be trusted which means…

    What did you expect asking it to confirm your own opinion, opinion you made very clear by opposing “AI slop” to “actual facts”?

    What makes you think that this community wants to read AI-generated slop?

    What are trying to get out of this?

    Don’t mean to imply that your post, or any women/gender-centric post, is not welcome here, I certainly think it is, but also posting over there might help you reach more women and further help you get the answers you are looking for.

  • Scientist Horrified as ChatGPT Deletes All His Research

  • Probably not. It seems misleading to characterize what he loss as his research, and a blatant clickbaity lie to claim it was all of it.

    Bucher admitted he’d “lost” two years’ worth of “carefully structured academic work” — including grant applications, publication revisions, lectures, and exams

  • FBI director tells Americans not to bring guns to protests, schools still okay

    Jump

  • Generally agree. Didn’t mean to imply that the NRA was or is « good » at this point.

    Just hoping that they might lash out against the Trump admin at one point, which does not seem completely impossible now that they’ve called out their narrative on Pretti’s murder.

    I feel that they’re exactly the sort of actor that could make a difference by convincing some of the gun-wielding conservatives to at least stay on the sidelines, and maybe help the army make the right choices if they ever get properly involved.

    I realize it’s a rather optimistic take. The situation is very bleak.

    I’m intrigued by the fact that you feel that civil war is inevitable yet feel Americans wouldn’t need guns.
