camdenlock··on Gab AI System Prompt Leaked
Wow, that started off very reasonable and balanced, and then suddenly veered into total dogma.

Hell is sharing a company with political activists. 37signals had the right idea.

Man. The Tor project has been lost to the tankies, apparently.
camdenlock··on Elon Musk's attempt to deceive the public and advertisers
I’m curious how Musk changed the definition of “view” as this person claims. Maybe he goes on to explain it but I can only see the first post…
camdenlock··on Seattle shuts down gifted program for having too many white and Asian students
Is this parody? Or has our civilization truly just lost its way?
camdenlock··on Eight U.S. States Now Have Plans to Ban Sales of Gas-Powered Cars
There is also no such thing as “the scientific community”. That’s a shibboleth deployed to shut arguments down with an ostensible show of authority.
camdenlock··on Apples4Ceasefire: Apple Employees Request Ceasefire Recognition
> each day we are silent we become more complicit in this horrific genocide

Credibility lost.

camdenlock··on U.S. sues Apple, accusing it of maintaining an iPhone monopoly
State overreach, wasting enormous productivity in the process.

This is some EU-smelling shite.

That “Anonymous Comrades Collective” site is like a communist version of Kiwi Farms. What a cesspool. Steer clear.

This is a doxxing site, and has no place on HN.

> but my superhero concept filled me with a concern that ecology might be the next banner for demagogues and would-be-heroes, for the power seekers and others ready to find an adrenaline high in the launching of a new crusade.

Damn, he was spot on about this.

camdenlock··on Apple Is in Talks to Let Google's Gemini Power iPhone Generative AI Features
This is fine as long as they’re licensing model weights that each phone can use for local inference.

Any other case: NOPE

camdenlock··on New York Times is targeting Wordle clones with DMCA takedowns
In the end, everyone’s just becoming a game company.

Er, sorry; an “experience” company.

camdenlock··on Epic says Apple will reinstate developer account
Very depressing to see y’all cheering when the state gains more power. We should cheer when the state is kept in check.

You have the choice to buy a Samsung phone instead of an Apple phone; most people don’t have the choice to switch governments.

camdenlock··on Google's Culture of Fear
Well, at least you admit your racism openly I guess.
camdenlock··on Google's Culture of Fear
Would it be equally extremely strange to ask an AI for pictures of a black or asian family? You may be telling on yourself here.

Aside: this subreddit is incredible.

> This is a Humanist/Leftist subreddit focused on the progression of humanity, human rights, and intends to document the world as it is.

Imagine writing that without a shred of self-doubt or self-awareness, filled with righteous purpose and certainty.

The really shocking thing is how such a forum is treated as benign and normal. I bet a forum advertising itself as “Humanist/Rightist” would be met with disgust and opprobrium.

camdenlock··on Google's Culture of Fear
Would be interested in reading some corroborating commentary from any actual Google employees here.

The API seems to lack tool use and a JSON mode. IMO that’s table stakes these days…

This is one of the most brazen (and reprehensible) attempts to court votes that I’ve ever seen in the USA.
camdenlock··on What is a species, anyway?
… and produce viable offspring. An important distinction, because without viable offspring, genetic transmission halts.
camdenlock··on "Rabbit Test" Unwins the Hugo
> what appears to have been a xenophobic quest to keep the awards firmly American

The mental gymnastics required to reach this conclusion are truly impressive.

Not a single mention of Hamas’ culpability in this mess. Pathetic.

This doesn’t seem to be available via their Vertex APIs yet.
camdenlock··on The three million toothbrush botnet story isn't true
Ugh, god. This link led me to read the mastodon front page for a while (popular posts across the mastodon fediverse).

Total ideological lockstep combined with intense self-righteousness, and not a single contrarian opinion in sight.

camdenlock··on DEF CON 32 Was Canceled. We Un-Canceled it
Social justice ideology doesn’t share the stage.
