   I'm not sure how you can blame counselors when no counselor would have said any of the things that were a problem here. The issue here wasn't that there was examples of counselors in the training data giving practical instructio

   I've only done one of these age verifications (for Bluesky) and that didn't require any personal information beyond seeing my face. The digital credentials API trial seems interesting though: letting the browser verify your age wi

   These laws weren't created by Ofcom. They were passed as primary legislation by the previous government (and enthusiatically implemented by the current one).

    Not just the context layer: the hardware interaction layer would be incredibly useful as a local MCP. These seem to be your special sauce, not the UI. Allowing users to access these from their preferred editors or cli tools would probably h

    They're not less moderated: they just have different moderation. If your moderation preferences are more aligned with the CCP then they're a great choice. There are legitimate reasons why that might be the case. You might not be h

    But they already refuse these sort of requests, and have done since the very first releases. This is just about shutting down the full conversation.

    Right, but RLHF is mostly reinforcing answers that people prefer. Even if you don't believe sentience is possible, it shouldn't be a stretch to believe that sentience might produce answers that people prefer. In that case it would

    All of the posts in question explicitly say that it's a hard question and that they don't know the answer. Their policy seems to be to take steps that have a small enough cost to be justified when the chance is tiny. In this case

    Yes, this is exactly the reason I taught my kids to be polite to Alexa. Not because anyone thinks Alexa is sentient, but because it's a good habit to have.

    This is a confusing mix of sites that have decided to geoblock UK users because they don't want to deal with the regulations (fair enough) but also ones that have age verification and no geoblock

    It's useful, but by default it would be best to just show the error message, not a screen full of JSON from the Vercel SDK

    This looks interesting, but it is quite buggy. A few things I've found: - error handling is not good. It just dumps the error JSON in the console, and doesn't read and understand it, so keeps retrying even if it's something t
