in my defense I was lowkey sick/dealing with some post-event crud over the last week and dear lord, it's hard to stay out of it when you don't have anything else to do

for similar reasons it is bad to normalize calling Siri a bitch when it returns the wrong search result, punching holes in drywall when you're mad, etc.

maybe you didn't notice this (you seem white) but several of those slurs are really directly derived from racial slurs in a very obvious way, idk if we want to normalize calling computers 'wireback' like that's not a good habit for people to encourage for what I hope are obvious reasons

jesus christ wtf

the cheap models still fall for it, these people aren't using the expensive/frontier ones for harassment bots

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Have we talked about how these federal agents all look like they're tweaking?

fuck yeah!

it's only more than that in terms of capabilities, eg "a construct that enables dangerous kinds of surveilance", "a construct that writes regexes for me", etc - either way, very much not a person

"the robot is my enemy" and "the robot is my friend" both seem to be AI psychosis vectors

one obvious use case: sufficiently powerful video gen tools can provide plausible deniability for billionaires being blackmailed with various compromising videos

everything is so dumb all the time, I don't want to be siding with the mods but c'mon

do people really think you can just post any arbitrary image on a large social media website without an entire mountain of automation kicking in to make sure you’re not spamming child pornography or videos of people being stabbed to death because that’s the entire history of social media in sum

can you infer why I find this current interaction amusing?

do you remember our earlier interaction, the one that caused the publicity protocol to be created?

lmaoooo

sure feels weird seeing all those "is it illegal now, to make jokes with your friends, to make silly japes, they ban you for making the mods look silly now" posts from people I generally trust and respect, but maybe that's on me for being naive

not saying it's 100% the same as those shitty veiled 41% references KF types love but I wouldn't exactly feel comfortable if people were QTing me with "assassination video frames from moments before the bullet hits" screencaps either

same here!

that's a valid interpretation I guess and I'm totally willing to believe it was intended that way, but it was also the other thing

idk but the "this is a still frame from a video of someone moments before their death" part feels pretty relevant

I think it's probably the "quote tweeting someone with a picture of someone from the video of their assassination, like, just a frame or two before the bullet hit" part, even if it wasn't intended that way

oh right I see what you mean, thanks for clarifying - that said, in this case I think the chatbots are correctly stating that the devs who implemented them didn't provide "disable this feature" tool interfaces

does it make sense to say one is suffering from a "dopamine deficiency" when it feels like nothing matters? I generally try to avoid mapping feelings directly to neurotransmitters, it feels a bit too four humors

do you know what I mean when I say 'invoke a tool' in the context of a chatbot? basically you give them a series of tools they can use to do things like query the current weather, read your calendar events, etc.

that's not really relevant here, I think you're thinking of what happens when you ask them questions about their training data.

I'm not sure what this means in this context

This might seem like an unimportant distinction but it's not impossible or not supported by the underlying technology, it's just bad for metrics. Knowing what capabilities things have is generally good and important.

to be specific here I mean a tool that the chatbot invokes, not just a button off to the side - like, you should be able to tell the chatbot "hey I don't like this feature please disable it" and it should, idk, pop up an "are you sure" dialogue and then you click yes and that's it.
