The final weights in themselves don't tell you anything about what went into the training process, e.g censorship.

Makes me think of that part in Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream (..) -- where Deckard reflects on the androids' indifference to their imminent deaths, saying that this was due to them lacking the aversion to death acquired troug

100%. Companies are paperclip optimizers, with money as the objective. For example, Uber used ride data to circumvent investigations by regulators. There is absolutely no reason to assume that AI companies would not use their data in any wa

What a usability nightmare this site is: 3-4 popups before I could even read the title. No thank you. And this is with an adblocker turned on. Don't these sites realize how many users they're losing?

ChatGPT is the only bot that reliably cites sources (through Web search mode). The other bots either make up links or simply don't provide any information that is distinguishable from the LLM predictive output. Ironically Gemini is als

Interesting angle, didn't think of this. How do you think/find that current tools are optimized for being addictive?

The goal of automation is to automate consistently perfect competence, not human failures. You wouldn't use a calculator that is as good as a human and makes mistakes as often.

True, but the Docker attack surface is limited to a malicious actor distributing malicious images. (Bad enough in itself, I agree.) Unreliable, unpredictable AI agents (and their parent companies) with system-wide permissions are a new kind

Forgot to mention the craziness of trusting an AI software company with your private AI codebase (think Uber's abuse of ride data).

I am still amazed that people so easily accepted installing these agents on private machines. We've been securing our systems in all ways possible for decades and then one day just said: oh hello unpredictable, unreliable, Turing-compl

If you suffer from any kind of anxiety, and you drink caffeine, you should seriously consider quitting. Even if you only drink as little as one coffee per day. There's a very high chance that caffeine is the source of a large part of i
