  • Reminds me the most of when discussing corporal punishment with a friend of mine with regards to raising kids. He was up and down talking about how his dad had to beat the crap out of him to keep him in line, and of course with a few examples, I’d follow up with “did you do that again?”, “well yeah, I got beat for doing that over and over”.

    and of course that’s ignoring the bigger part. Even giving the “punishment deters”… really it only goes in 2 forms.

    It’s often ineffective because it hasn’t hit yet. AKA you haven’t got punished, therefore you know the punishment doesn’t apply to you.

    Or you have been punished, and well you can handle it again.

    Course death penalty is a one time issue obviously. But obviously also has the follow up where, it can be even worse because people are more hesetant to charge in the less obviously wrong scenerios. IE anyone with half a heart or a concern to protect kids will throw the book at a 50 year old diddling a 10 year old.

    Laws generally have exceptions when a 19 year old has sex with a 17 year old. Somewhere out there though is greyer areas where most people would say it’s wrong, but it’s on the fence.












  • Agreed there too, there probably could never be a large enough pool of safely organized data to actually make a child safe chat gpt. But yeah kind of the key issue I agree with.

    also agreed on the inevitable implosion of generative AI. I think we’re basically hitting moores law on it where there isn’t enough data to even remotely train it much further than it is, and the mass output of AI data now, is we’ll certainly be very soon hitting extreme repercussions of “incestuous data”. (IE the internet is getting flooded with AI slop, AI models are searching the internet, won’t be long before the copy of copy of copy problems lead to everything going backwards).

    So yeah, agreed AI was always bullshit day 1. The greatest flaw was releasing it to the public in it’s infancy, and it’s very early on super impressive demos in a form that your average boomer accountant could see it and go “that’s amazing”



  • I mean yeah, there’s no question that extremist rhetoric got him killed. and yeah I’d have to say it’s far more of his own style of it. The part that baffles me is how it’s only 60%, unless they somehow posed it as rhetoric against him. To me that question is as basic as saying “did gun violence have anything to do with his death?”, uhh yeah.

    I have feeling the question is vaguely worded so that they can then try and tear it to say “is it people saying he supports facism the reason for the violence”. So that they can push to criminalize describing reality and pointing out real problems, because some people might try to solve problems with violence.


  • Who the hell is thinking of these concepts. News has been running on chatgpt giving dangerous hallucinations, suicide instructions, mimicking love and attachment.

    In short the only way to wind up with an LLM that’s probably safe for kids, would be to start training from zero. Give it absolutely no exposure to anything that wasn’t curated from the start… say the initial data set being a catalog of mr rogers and seseme street scripts. Starting from “everything on the internet” and then trying to restrict down is a fools erend. That’s like trying to make a porn blocker with a blacklist strategy.





  • While they certainly implode… I think there’s the old problem.

    Like say you have 5 co-operative communities that focus on building up great resources, polite trade with eachother, no focus on millitary.

    Then you throw in 2 Viking type communities, extremely warlike, that have no independent ability to gather resources… but specifically focus on pillaging.

    Obviously the vikings take out the poorly defended villages to build up resources, before going after eachother, in the long run everyone dies out because the vikings wreck everything for everyone, and leave nothing for themselves.

    I feel like that’s kind of a form of what happens with capitalism vs socialism types. we’ve got elements that really just want peace… but the warlike ones will just continue to survive, as long as there are enough peaceful societies to wreck… and unfortunately the peaceful ones are the ones to go down first, in spite of being the only ones that would survive long term without the others existance.
