Could be worth considering that outdoor cats in the US may actually be a positive because so many of our country's natural predators of rodents and birds have been wiped out.

antidumbass··on Australian who ordered radioactive materials walks away from court
Fascinating that you take the court's ruling that he has a "mental illness" at face value.

How would you like it if one of your harmless hobbies was declared illegal overnight and your home raided?

How would you feel if the only way the court lets you go home without a prison sentence is to agree to be declared "mentally unfit"?

It was not running locally. This is classic bolt-on censorship behavior. OpenAI does this if you ask certain questions too.

If everyone keeps loudly asking these questions about censorship, it seems inevitable that the political machine will realize weights can't be trivially censored. What will they do? Start imprisoning anyone who releases non-lobotomized open models. In the end, the mob will get what it wants.

[0] I am extremely surprised that a 15-year-long HN user has to ask this question, but you know what they say: the future is not fairly distributed.
