> Let's first specify how reaction must recognize an IP.

I was on board until I read this. I have to supply my own regex for matching IP addresses…? What

Ideological takeover. Sad to see.

What the hell is a “sex predator”? Do you mean just a normal human? We are literally programmed to get sex.

Remember, this was all cleaned up recently for an international conference. So it CAN be done; they just won’t, because they prefer virtue signaling over the wellbeing of the residents paying their salaries.

“Get yourself permanently inducted into the medical & pharmaceutical pipeline.”

No thanks.

Anyone uttering this phrase is not to be taken seriously

They’ve redefined “safe” in this context to mean “conformant to fashionable academic dogma”

If this one was like any of the others, they were likely tasked with modelwashing LLMs to adhere to current academic fashions; i.e. tired feminist tropes and general social justice dogma.

Such teams are just panicked by the idea that these models might not exclusively push their preferred ideology (critical social justice). We probably shouldn’t shed a tear for their disbandment.

Apparently I’m the only one here who agrees with you. The author may be a high IQ genius, but this creation is incredibly grating, in that particular mode of an overenthusiastic mega-autist who sets out to dissect and systematize every last part of the universe. Unnerving to say the least.

This appears to be work sponsored by Huawei.

> Maybe Gizmodo should report on the facts and let us decide if we think it's "absurd?"

This never has been (and probably never will be) Gizmodo’s M.O. ;)

Yep, this article is a desperate cry from an obnoxious hack to assert his relevance. See also: Cory Doctorow.

He may not adequately conform to the Dogma.

This is far too much nuance for a hack like Doctorow. He just wants to fume and stamp his feet.

This right here is why the Mastodon userbase is so unappealing to so many of us. Ridiculous extremist thinking.

… why does everything that comes out of this company smell scammy / cultish?

> Most people we know have completely lost their minds over the last year and decided their sole purpose in life is to give us Covid so that they can get back to a normal that's never, ever going to exist again.

Oh no. It’s going to be one of THOSE articles again…

Jeez man. Seems like a news story about the EU being on a power trip hits the front page every week now. Thanking my lucky stars I don’t have to live under such a controlling regime.

Cognitive dissonance. Celebrating the possibilities of our free market system (Bandcamp) while simultaneously decrying it as irredeemably evil (Songtradr).

It’s almost as if, at the end of the day, it’s really all just a bunch of humans exercising their free will to make companies and do as they please…

Are you insinuating that Hamas is not an Islamic jihadist organization?

Psychological warfare. A direct and personal reminder of our place.

Hopefully this will wake more people up to the inherent evil of the EU, causing more countries to leave.

This is some of the most soul-dampening marketing pablum I’ve ever seen. Perfectly inoffensive and adhering strictly to all Acceptable Mainstream Concepts. Well done, Google. An achievement of a kind, for sure.

Aren’t humans text generators too? What makes you think the processes are so categorically different?

I mean… good? Let users sort it out through that community notes thing.

Why is the EU so arrogantly, hand-wringingly, mustache-twirlingly evil? It sometimes feels like some kind of comical LARP.

I’ve been terrified for years that MICROS~1 is going to figure out some way to do a hostile acquisition of Valve…

Suppressing negative thoughts is a fool’s errand. You can notice them, and react differently to them, but you can’t literally control the thoughts that arise in your consciousness. You’ll work yourself to death trying.

Why does this guy write like an edgy tween TikToker? It’s incredibly embarrassing.
