Strictly speaking most have been arrested on immigration-related charges but been targeted for prosecution due to criticizing israel. This is bad and a large step in the wrong direction but it's markedly less bad than the "hate sp

Examples like the raid on the quaker meeting are real and contemptible. I'm guessing it's because it's been weaponized against right-wingers for longer not because it's only been used against them. I hope people on the l

Police have broad discretion over what they enforce and when. In America Castle Rock v. Gonzales affirmed this strongly (although it also had other questionable implications). I believe things are similar in Britain. Over here we've se

Yes actually. I'm not opposed to any government above a highly-local level. The point of government is basically to fix externalities and run defense/diplomacy. For rivers we do in fact need co-ordinated governance to prevent peop

This fixes indians in boilerrooms and nigerian spam emailers but specifically not ticket scalpers. The profit is too large. Also because users don't actually control the number of HTTP requests they make. Think of sites that load indiv

Second this question; would be really cool if we had solid support for some of the qvina2/qvina-w/gpuvina implementations too along with stuff like haddock for affinity-based protein-protein. P.S. putting this here since I can

Objectively a lack of bot-resistance can make the service unusable for everyone. Good examples include twitter, where interesting stuff gets flooded by spam DMs and indian payout farmers, and the mentioned ticketing example, where objective

This looks really nice, but what's the plugin/extension story? Part of the reason PyMol is popular is bc it's easy to write plugins in Python, which ngl is much closer to what a lot of researchers are comfortable with. This l

I'd rather see bot resistance (important for everyone) and privacy (important for everyone) take precedence over accessibility (important for a small minority) and have laws change to reflect that.

Can you give me examples of situations like this? I am perfectly fine with something like the clean air and water acts (in principle if not implementation). Obviously people in an upstream town aren't allowed to dump pollution in the r

Yeah I really don’t care about this case much. Actually a good example of less important stuff. It’s practical things like nuclear physics (buddy majoring has had it refuse questions), biochem, ochem, energetics & arms, etc. that I disl

Well-put thank you. I think the end state that makes this not a slippery slope is that there are certain practicalities that make some responsibilities impractical beyond a certain scale. Where it is correct in its maximalist form though is

No, it's fine for governments to fix externalities. I just believe they should do it at low levels. I don't support Alberta meddling in local politics. I don't support the US federal or state governments doing this. If cities

It goes pretty granular. I don't really like secession in concept, in this case it's a manifestation that governments like to steal more power than they absolutely must hold at that level instead of leaving it at lower ones. This

This doesn’t need to be so focused on the current set of verboten info though. Just make practice making it not say some set of random less important stuff.

1. Those people don’t need frontier models. The slop is slop in part because it’s garbage usually generated by cheap models. 2. It doesn’t matter. Most people at some level have a deontological view of what is right and wrong. I believe it’

Let me put it this way: there are very few things I can think of that models should absolutely refuse, because there are very few pieces of information that are net harmful in all cases and at all times. I sort of run by blackstone's p

This is pretty horrifying. I sometimes try using AI for ochem work. I have had every single "frontier model" mistakenly believe that some random amine was a controlled substance. This could get people jailed or killed in SWAT raid

Not the name of the user, a separate name. I'm aware of this. That is also not true, it can access old conversations, this is a known feature. I have been able to have it access back to the beginning of my using the site.

Yeah we really should stop focusing on model alignment. The idea that it's more important that your AI will fucking report you to the police if it thinks you're being naughty than that it actually works for more stuff is stupid.

One important note is that chatgpt has a memory you cannot see, besides chat history and besides memory. You cannot purge or manage this memory. I don't yet know how long it lasts. I don't know if it's some form of cached rec
