OpenAI suspends bot developer for presidential hopeful Dean Phillips

At the same time, as long as this person is consenting to this (which clearly seems to be the case), I don't think the developers did anything wrong (malum in se).
I suppose this is a use-case where people will turn to locally-run models.

Clear lines on what shan't be done (lines drawn far away from the real grey areas) is a position that is both prudent and respectable by OpenAI.

Edit: Also, their privacy policy makes it clear that "completely anonymous" is not a thing they offer— they collect emails and IP addresses, transmit them to the United States, and will deliver them to law enforcement upon request.
Now image generation I guess we can see as different since we do agree some images or videos have content society sees as illegal.
The whole topic is fascinating to me. Censorship and regulation around generative AIs.
LM Studio lets you load in models from a built in HuggingFace browser, and sets up a server that accepts OpenAi 3.0 API requests, so everyone that built an app around ChatGPT API plugs in exactly the same
openchat in particular ships with an inference server compatible with openai

Even if you tried to base your business outside of the West, you're left figuring out how to collect payments for it without getting blocked. LLMs are far more expensive to provide than plain text communication or a VPN.
Eventually it'll probably happen, but there are a lot of logistics to sort out first, and in the meantime the open source models still have a ways to go before they're good enough at arbitrary problems out of the box to be worth paying for.
That's not far-fetched if he's Sam Altman's preferred candidate.
Goodness, imagine if people vote for the wrong candidates! How would democracy recover from that?
I'm surprised that a forum of technologists doesn't even attempt to see the somewhat accidental strings that allow society to run efficiently as somewhat trusting with a cheap bullshit detector. If you break that down everything grinds to a halt.
Interesting, especially in light of yesterday's assertions that they're supporting Phillips: "Silicon Valley insiders are trying to unseat Biden with help from AI" https://archive.ph/DSrM5
Killing people is okay, political bot making fun of current admin is not.
I mean that as not at all a dark joke, it’s just a fact.
Oh, well that's a pairing I didn't see coming for some reason.

sounds like that's going to be more of a textualist than living document LLM ;-)
An LLM would probably win a landslide victory over its (human) opposition, if the voters don't know that they are voting for a robot.
(I'll have you know that Hillary only had to rehearse this quasi human-like reaction for three hours beforehand with her staff.)
It would need to be 35 years old and born in the USA.
My understanding is that to make that work, he would need to switch parties pretty soon in order not to be affected by sore loser laws in many states that would prevent him from switching parties after the primary.
To me he appears to be an obvious Republican spoiler effort pushed by some of the wealthiest people in tech including Musk and Altman. If it were my boss pushing this I would be incensed.
IMO it is fine to run for president, and to vote for whoever you want. But running a campaign that is really intended to just give the edge to another guy, is dirty politics intended to fool voters with an illusion of choice.
When the richest people in the country engage in those tactics, isn't democratic, it's plainly oligarchic.
So it's a dishonest campaign because some rich people are giving him money? By this logic RFK Jr's campaign should be seen as a dishonest campaign as well since he's raised more money from more people than Phillips has.
Exactly the same story though.

Before COVID, I would have guessed the biggest reservoir of anti-vax sentiment was among very liberal Democrats (think the people who are super into yoga, organic food, and naturopathic doctors).
COVID became a culture war issue, which lead to partisan Democrats lining up on the pro-mask, pro-lockdown, pro-vaccine side, but I have no idea if that disrupted the views of existing anti-vax Democrats (of the "vaccines cause autism" variety).
RFK's promoters switched to promoting Phillips when they realized RFK was drawing more conservatives for the antivax stuff, than democrats for the Kennedy name.
Unfortunately, in a two-party system one is compelled to vote for the official party candidate if they want their party to win. So voting for a challenger during primaries is great in that it helps send a message to the party, but in the general one must hold their nose and vote for the party's nominee.
If he runs in the general election it will be as a spoiler candidate
I'm not very politically savvy, though, so take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt.
Musk, Ackman, Altman historically vote Democrat.
Dean didn't propose them as cabinet positions. He made an off the cuff joke.
Most Democrats want a different choice.
Why is competition within the party a bad thing? That anyone trying to compete must be a conspiracy by the others?
I don't think that follows. Biden is not a popular guy, and it appears his strategy is to crush all internal opposition while engineering a rematch with Trump (probably because he'd lose against anyone else).
For example, the New Hampshire Democratic primary is officially unsanctioned by the Democratic Party.
Got it!
