The government is doing far more than “refusing to do business” here.

Sometimes virtue signals are just indications of virtue apparently?

That doesn’t sound like you solved it, that sounds like you obfuscated it. Feels a bit to me like you’ve got a wall around a property and people are using ladders to get in, so you built another wall around the first wall.

I recognize I’m being pedantic but two layers of the same kind of security (an LLM recognizing a prompt injection attempt) are not the same as solving a security vulnerability.

That summary in particular gave me a visceral physical reaction.

Just about every summary in here has an em dash in it. The whole article feels very AI-y to me.

I don’t believe OP built any language learning software. They built very well-designed flashcards and the business apparatus to support them.

Most people aren’t here to be faced with anything that challenges the status quo, you mean. They don’t want to read anything uncomfortable.

Cursory google search says 35.3 million flights in 2025. So $580m/35.3m flights ≈ $16/flight.

Trump referred to Somalis as "garbage". If that's not publicly antagonistic or racist then what is?

You made an accusation so I responded.

Hell yeah I love being right. Thank you for being civil in response.

Also I was not implying that you are a libertarian, I don’t think that there are many true libertarians. I have just met so many fiscal conservatives who consider themselves to be libertarians and use it as an identifier because they feel libertarians are more intellectually respected than conservatives (which is very funny imo)

First of all, OP declined to elaborate and resorted to seizing the apparent moral high ground instead of defending their claims. I felt that was an invitation for conjecture.

Secondly, I noted that my comment was made in less than good faith in the edit I left. I stand by the underlying concepts though. It is my impression that OP is a conservative who is afraid to come out as such in a public forum. This bias (I do not use the word pejoratively here) influences their opinion they shared.

Third, I invited OP to illustrate where I am wrong. When someone makes strong statements about the morality of a group and refuses to share their own beliefs on the subject, I believe it’s appropriate to assume they are biased in some way. If I say “all devs are brain dead keyboard monkeys” and I’m a dev, that context is important to understand my statement. Based on Capt’s comment, I made the above assumptions and shared them as I was feeling snarky and felt that they (if true) would be relevant to the larger discussion.

Finally, I'm sure I disagree with you on many things but we can disagree without being rude.

"Nobody wants to work anymore"[0] is a trope as old as industrialization itself.

I'm sure I disagree with Willard on just about everything but we can disagree without being rude.

Ah, so you're socially conservative, support Trump but probably consider yourself a libertarian, secretly a big fan of the moves ICE has been making? I'm assuming you've used the term "liberal media" unironically in the last year. You didn't storm the capitol, but you consider the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 to be worse than January 6. Antifa is more of a danger than far-right agitators. Charlie Kirk's death hit hard. No social identity group is more persecuted than white, heterosexual, cisgender Christian men.

Any of those resonate? You're welcome to correct me.

EDIT: in light of another reply to this same thread I recognize that much of this comment was written sneeringly. I apologize for the snark and am leaving it as is in the interest of transparency.

We've done this with our kid(s). Saying "you're being bad" or "you are bad" is very different from "You're choosing to do bad things."

Care to elaborate on what flavors of bigotry have been lauded and socially rewarded/what valid viewpoints and statements have been mislabeled as bigotry? I feel like you're being intentionally vague to avoid taking a stance here.

I am this person. I love the convenience of a car. I hate car ownership.

And when the whole world is covered in datacenters, how will we continue to scale?

If I make up a riddle and ask an LLM to solve it, it will perform worse than a riddle that is well known and whose solution will be found in the dataset. That's just a foundational component of how they work.

The issue here is borrowing from the future to pay for the present. The bicycle analogy (unless I'm missing something huge here) does not seem relevant at all.

Yes.

To phrase it more completely, regime change and general destabilization of Latin American countries has definitely led to the immigration crisis in the United States now. Lack of stable governments and economies has absolutely exacerbated the production and transportation of drugs into the United States. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been killed or disappeared by US-empowered gangs or governments.

Now that said, I don't know what the world would look like had their right to self-determination been preserved. Nobody knows. But as a general rule, countries whose power structures were not toyed with by colonial powers do better than countries whose power structures were toyed with.

That's just the thing though. OpenAI and the LLM industry generally are pushing so hard against any kind of regulation that the likelihood of this happening is definitely lower than the percentage of ChatGPT users in psychosis.

Exactly. They're predisposed to a delusional spiral and will therefore be attracted to the sycophantic model. OpenAI is thus incentivized to provide the sycophantic model.

If the something in question is a crime though, then that's called a conspiracy and there are laws against that. The legal difference in this case is the overt act, where one participant takes a criminal action beyond speech. Conspiracy is hard to prove in court, but that doesn't mean that I can say whatever I want and be completely absolved just because the action was not taken by my own hand.

No. I could choose to post my personal medical information in the town square, that doesn't make the town square a HIPPA entity.

Yes, I was just adding some context for any MAGA here that might genuinely think that US intervention in Latin America has ever been a good thing.

Yeah, ask any Chilean how the installation of Pinochet worked out.

I’d argue the majority of casual online PC discourse is driven by gaming. By the numbers LTT is the largest PC/IT/consumer computer YouTube channel and the majority of their content is focused on gaming.

That’s my impression anyway.
