Everything on a ZFS/BTRFS partition with snapshots every minute/hour/day? I suppose depending on what level of access the AI has it could wipe that too but seems like there's probably a way to make this work.

These are public posts we're talking about, right? Or are we saying Meta should be cracking down on content in private communication too? (And if so, isn't that the same concern I just mentioned about due process, but for privac

What makes you think Meta will do a better job of policing this than the actual police? Granted, they might be able to crack down harder in some respects since unlike the police they don't have to worry about due process, but is that r

Been thinking about this more, and regarding #1 I wonder if perhaps part of what we're seeing is that a significant number of people just weren't thinking in terms of principles to begin with. (Probably most people in fact; it&#x2

Perhaps in the generic sense that most things a business does are to build up market share that's true. But Costco isn't selling hot dogs for $1.50 in an effort to capture a large share of the hot dog market.

Technically you can do all that with on Linux with SELinux. But it's not the default, nor is it easy.

The problem is that on Windows or your typical Linux distro "how much you trust" needs to be "with full access to all of the information on my computer, including any online accounts I access through that computer". This

When you have a "loss leader" whose sole purpose is to build up market share (e.g. put competitors out of business) that's called predatory pricing.

The top comment of that thread points out exactly the same thing this Cloudflare article does; that there doesn't really seem to be be any indication this was anything nefarious.

I think the problem is that telling someone they're wrong without hurting their ego is a very difficult skill to learn. And even if you're really good at it, you'll still often fail because sometimes people just don't wa

There's certainly a way to do this, poorly. But it's not realistic to expect an AI to be able to diagnose users with mental illnesses on the fly and not screw that up repeatedly (both with false positives, false negatives, and lot

As of May posting AI generated porn of unconsenting adults is a federal crime[1], so I'd be very surprised if they didn't ban users for that as well. The article conflates a bunch of different issues which makes it difficult to un

They ban users responsible for misusing the tool, and refer them to law enforcement when appropriate. The whole point of this article is to say that's not good enough ("X blames users for [their misuse of the tool]") implying

Any mention of Musk on HN seems to cause all rational thought to go out the window, but yeah I wonder in this case how much of this wild deviation from the usual sentiment is attributable to: 1. Hypocrisy (people expressing a different opin

It produces an image, just like painting does. It does so quicker and "better" than humans. But it also requires less creative input and allows less creative freedom.

That's fundamentally what LLMs are, an imitation of humanity (specifically, human-written text). So if that's the line, then you're proposing banning modern AI entirely.

It could, but that would make it less useful for everyone else. Pushing back against what the user wants is generally not a desirable feature in cases where the user is sane.

They're trained to give responses that get positive ratings from reviewers in post-training. A little flattery probably helps achieve that. Not to mention sycophancy is probably positively correlated with following instructions, the la

Taking still photos of anything is widely considered a creative activity. There's usually only a small amount of creativity involved. Sometimes more. Same goes for AI generated anything. You can have low effort photos and high effort p

If you're talking about deleting questions, that's because deleting the question would delete everyone's answers that they potentially worked very hard on and which others might find useful. If you think the answers are bad y

That, or an open standard.

Okay, dozens, not thousands. My point still stands. If you really want to split hairs over the exact number, maybe also consider the number of murderers who committed other crimes prior to their first murder, and whether getting caught soon

by Ajedi32 10mo ago
So is it your position, based on what you just said, that people who have committed murder but have not yet been caught are no more likely to commit murder a second time than the average person? I think my example of helping police catch a

I don't think it's wishful thinking. Flock advertises how many actual, real-world cases their cameras have contributed to solving, and even just reading news reports on murder trials you'll often see comments like "suspe

That's easy. Person gets kidnapped, government surveillance camera helps police find the car before the kidnapper kills them. Or, probably more common: murder happens, government surveillance camera helps police find murderer and jail

by Ajedi32 10mo ago
I think you have it backwards. This is what happens when we rank human lives over human freedom. The argument for these cameras is that they save lives. The argument against them is that they destroy freedom.

Just as we have anti-defamation laws despite freedom of speech being a constitutionally protected right, you can have gun control laws despite carrying guns being a constitutionally protected right. I don't think that makes what I said

Depending on how much gets automated and how quickly, yes that could be a temporary, short-term problem. I personally think the transition will happen slowly enough that it'll barely be noticeable, but if I'm wrong and we somehow

Yes, but when moral panic reaches the ears and minds of people in government, who see government as the solution to every problem and don't tend to think much about limits to their own power (I'm a good guy with good intentions, w

It's not normally dangerous, on average. That doesn't mean confronting an armed suspect in a dangerous part of town is "safe" and that there's no reason for officers to get jumpy when that person turns and appears
