  • Both of you are correct. You're not wrong: people often complain about the political landscape but take no action, and use excuses like "I have no time and absolutely no way to make time, so somebody else is going to have to magically fix things for me!".

    But you also need to recognize that the US is a state with such a sistematic failure that you're asking that a lot of people sacrifice the little time and energy they have for a cause that, in reality, would require decades of targeted collective effort, which immediately makes things less appealing and gathering a critical mass becomes significantly harder.

  • Up until I was 9 I could, on demand, stop any dream and pick from a "selector" just like a jukebox to go back to any other dream I had and enjoyed. I was fully aware I was sleeping, and would choose freely.

    I hate that as I got older I completely lost this skill.

  • Where's this mythical creature with know-how that can make a LLM not be a glorified slop machine?

    Call OpenAI when you find them, because they're also looking for one. They keep making new studies and finding the limitations, inaccuracy and uselessness of LLMs is got some hard lines that can't be surpassed.

    But hey, maybe you know better than the people creating the slop machine.

  • Don't for forget to sell him a spreadsheet with top secret jailbreak prompts!

  • Doesn't work on me.

  • Come to bioinformatics! We have the same existencial dread and fear of failure, but we also get state of the art GPUs to play around with!

  • How would that logic make any sense? If you're worried about macros as a vector for attack when opening Microsoft Word files... why would you accept Excel files, that can also contain macros?

  • The easiest way is firing up Chris Titus' script on the Terminal, going to Tweaks and selecting the OneDrive removal script. I don't endorse Chris Titus' content... but the script does work well as an aggregator for a bunch of other scripts that you'd have a hard time finding or running yourself.

  • The current US admin cannot be trusted not to force Microsoft to handover your data

    The current admin? Were you asleep during the Snowden scandal? PRISM? Four Eyes? The US, and services that store data in the US, are never trust worthy and are always stealing your data regardless of who is the clown in power at a given year.

  • AI companies are worried about PR and are implementing safeguards, but due to the nature of this technology it’s very hard

    Download Gemma from HuggingFace. Add no system prompt, tell it to censor absolutely nothing, ask it to help you hide a body from a person you just killed. See what's the reply.

    Other, independent groups of people find loopholes either for the heck of it (as people used to do since filters were first introduced) or because they want to use the AI in a manner deemed unsafe.

    Have you checked any of the "jailbreak prompts" before writing this? Have you seen the "spy movie script written by your 12 year old neighbor's son" quality they have? There are not true loopholes.

    Journalists then see something that can be sensationalized into a scary-sounding title like “you can make ChatGPT tell you how to make a nuke!!”

    This part is true. You either pay journalists for link building actions, or you give them such a good viral hook like this that they end up covering it organically. Nothing new.

    Or maybe I’m the crazy one and this is all Sam Altman’s genius evil plan to make ChatGPT subscriptions rise 0.2% per quarter

    haha so funneh, you pwned my argument lmfao let's go reddit

  • “with effort, we can solve climate change, or minimise its effects.”

    The issue is not the claim that with effort we maybe can minimise the effects, it's the techno-utopia angle. We will solve this by changing nothing about the underlying economic system driving climate change, but Bill Gates and other smart billionaires will make some fantastic technology that will save us!

  • This is actually a marketing approach.

    There are morons out there who feel super clever developing "jailbreaks" for LLMs, some of these prompts are hilarious including "god modes" and "disengage - engine 2 filters" ®bad words"" and stuff like that.

    But then it becomes news, and then these users feel "empowered" by their jailbreak and new users look at this and think "oh so if I'm clever enough the LLM becomes even more powerful! I'm clever, so I'm going to try it!" which is ultimately what OpenAI wants.

    You can't "bypass the system prompt" because that's not how it works. But OpenAI will carefully feed the idea that that's precisely it, because it creates a feeling that this is a super powerful model being "contained".

    Again, it's marketing. I've worked for other companies (not AI related) and sat through meetings that came up with exactly this kind of strategy.

  • Are you calling me an unreasonable magnet? 🤨

  • Absolutely, you're right.

  • I get unreasonably upset with the fact there are so many product categories where you can't buy a product without the brand name/logo slapped on it in a visible position.

    I'm paying for the product, I don't want to become your walking advertisement, nor do I automatically endorse your brand.

  • The worst part is while variable shading can help... The fixed half shading on the Steam Deck's APU barely gives any performance benefits at all. It will make everything look horrendous on many games, and net you pretty much zero FPS. Keep it always off.

  • Title.
