Because it makes the product mostly useless for all kinds of things?
- mmooss 3mo agoWhat things? Again, I don't see any but manipulation and fraud, but I certainly could be missing some.
- all2 3mo agoRole play, which is a huge consumer of tokens. You can glance at openrouter's usage stats and see what apps tokens are going to and what the inference content was classified as. It's quite revealing.
- estearum 3mo agoYeah, the costs of that use case far outweigh the benefits.
- selectodude 3mo agoLike online gambling, some things cause more harm than good.
- mmooss 3mo agoHow would that regulation interfere with role play? Role play is 'play'; people know what it is. It shouldn't interfere with immersion: People suspend disbelief in movie theaters or reading books, despite knowing it's a film or novel. The risk with AI is that people don't understand what an LLM is.
- windexh8er 3mo agoCare to enlighten us? Because you seem to imply you want to have a conversation about your day every time you fire up a shell.

- ericol 3mo agoI don't need a computer to mimic a human. AT ALL As a matter of fact, for the line of work I do (programming, devops, the works) being conscious about the fact that I am just getting an algorithm outputting text that is probabilistically related to the input I gave it would actually be healthy for me and my mental state. I HATE having to say "you" when working with an LLM.
- marcus_holmes 3mo agoI have the same urge - third-person the LLM is an it, for sure, but I'm not aware of a suitable second-person construction for talking to things. Maybe we need to invent one.
- wpm 3mo agoWhen yelling at the other appliances I own, "you" usually turns into "you fucker" or "you useless piece of shit", so I stick with what I know. "Claude, you useless piece of shit, I already told you..."
- marcus_holmes 3mo agoAlways loved the tweet: "I don't know what machine they were raging against, but I'm pretty sure it was a printer" [paraphrased]. We could definitely update that. I'm Australian, so "oi cunt" works about as well as "you" for most things, though I'm not suggesting we adopt that formally.
- ericol 3mo agook that cracked me. Could be worth of an update: I don't know what machine they were raging against, but I'm pretty sure it was an LLM
- mmooss 3mo agoDon't say 'you'? One solution is to use commands (imperatives), as you've always done with computers. For example, instead of 'you are an expert in Lisp', say 'function as an expert in Lisp.' Are there use cases where that isn't applicable.
- BrenBarn 3mo agoI'd say making LLMs useless would be a net positive for humanity.
