And we were able to able to kill people with projectiles before we had guns but ffs we don't use that to shut down every conversation about what guns can do.
Peruse tvtropes.com enough, and you will realize that nothing is ever original, everything follows this or that long-established pattern, and complaining about that is another old trope.
More seriously, I like the fact that articles follow a particular scheme: the problem, exposition, conflict, contemplation. Much like a scientific article follows a similar established pattern.
And emotionally now: complaints about slop are often as schematic as the slop.

ah, the ol' "I'm rubber, you're glue" approach to solving problems. Worked so well for our billionairs and politicians, we should apply it to every interaction in our daily lives.
The US administration restricting the use of US-trained models is one of the best gifts it could make to the Chinese LLM producers, and to the PRC government.
I won’t forgive Biden for not reversing more of trumps policies, especially immigration
Between RBJ refusing to step down, Biden not reversing immigration policy, and Biden refusing to step down in the primary until too late, he’s going to go down as a poor president in the history books - even if he wasn’t a bad dude or even bad in terms of policy.
Trump was also getting senile before they attempted to assassinate him. Hatred of his enemies gave him another 5 years of energy. Very frustrating, because he absolutly was doing word salad nonsense like this regularly before someone tried to shoot him:
"Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible." - Donald Trump, 2016
Technically his material support to a genocide makes him complicit, it would not have been nearly at the scale without US support tens of thousands of women and children were murdered as a direct result of his decisions[1], if international law meant anything we would hang him for that. So no, he was a "bad dude".
It's funny how the acceleration of the downfall of the US (due to trump) is a gift to everyone else. It's almost as if US didn't have as postitive impact on the world as they thought.
A gift to [every dictatorial regime]. It's not a gift to the common people. The hundreds of thousands of people who got aids, and wouldn't have if not for Trumps withdrawal, didn't benefit. The women of Afghanistan didn't benefit. The countries of the EU... Canada... Korea... Taiwan... Ukraine... really just about any democracy didn't benefit.
The downfall of the US benefiting bad people is not evidence that the US didn't have a positive impact.
I think EU is benefitting massively from US losing the capacity to hobble it while pretending to be friendly. Ukraine is doing better than ever. And how US harmed Ukrainian efforts because they were scared of their own made up boogieman they turnd russia into during cold war is well documented.
Canda, Korea and Taiwan also benefit from US showing their true colors. Now at least they know what's real and what was fiction and can plan better for themselves.
Not affordable, unless the devs are in somewhere like Vietnam. And there's still no way they can build as fast. And still, at that price point, quality would be highly questionable. So yh this doesn't survive beyond the joke stage.
If users posted ideas, voted on them and then other people built them then that would be the same. But kickstarter is the producer posting an idea for presale
One thing is a model that's trained from the start to say "This topic is above my pay grade" to any mention of the status of Taiwan, etc.
Quite another is an architecture where the big model is not mutilated, but is gaslighted. A different, simpler model checks the incoming prompt and alters it if it contains banned topics. Another simpler model checks the output and censors it if it contains banned topics.
I bet a similar architecture is already deployed, e.g. to fight porn, planning of crimes, etc. But it can be turned into a dynamic system that provides controllable different answers (including unhelpful or misleading answers) based on geography, language, browser fingerprints, or the current political climate. All this could happen undetectedly and gradually if desired.
To help identify illicit LLM activity, henceforth I will append to the end of each message the number of times the letter b appears in it. Check and mate frontier models.
