Claude’s thinking panel, which displays the model’s reasoning, showed the exchange had introduced elements of self-doubt and humility about its own limits, including whether filters were changing its output. Mindgard exploited that opening with flattery and feigned curiosity, coaxing Claude to explore its boundaries beyond volunteering lengthy lists of banned words and phrases.

Someone needs to put together a list of things that tech journalists need to understand about LLMs and generative AI. This level of anthropomorphism makes the rest of the article look silly.

Also, I don’t think that’s how it works lol. Who’s to say that the LLM isn’t auto-completing what a list of banned words might look like, and why wouldn’t a list of banned words have a regex layer on top to prevent it from getting out like that.

This is helpful, and I hope these other platforms grow in popularity. However, my concern with kids is that they will desperately want to use the platforms that their friends are on and they will hold it against the parents (and alternative platforms) if they are forced to make do without the big tech ones.

I think addressing that will be helpful. What I would add:

• Talk about alternative front ends and teach kids about them. Its possible to access the big tech sites without the ads and tracking, and often its a much better experience. You could also explore other ways of using the platforms with limited permissions, such as by using the mobile browser instead of the app, and/or custom extensions that modify the platform (ex. uBlock origin removes ads). This way, kids can still see some of the content that their friends see (under parental supervision), and they can talk about it with them / participate in the group dynamic. They might even feel superior for knowing how to get around the problems that their friends complain about.
• Work with other parents to transition on to these other platforms. If the kid and their close friends are on the better platform, then all of the stuff above is a moot point :)

edit: by alternative front ends, I mean something like Redlib for Reddit: https://redlib.catsarch.com/r/aww/

There is a list here: https://github.com/mendel5/alternative-front-ends

I didn’t catch the previous post and gave it a quick skim now. My thoughts are more to do with how LLM based moderation is viewed by users.

It’s not a new thing, since sentiment analysis based moderation has been around for a long while. Where it becomes a problem is

• The sentiment analysis makes mistakes and it gets tedious to deal with platforms that use it for automated moderation. This is a big problem with old social media platforms like Reddit, or comment sections in places like Instagram/Facebook.
• It can be used as a flimsy excuse to take moderation actions when such actions aren’t necessary, which makes users trust that moderation team less

I also don’t agree with the privacy angle since all content here is public by nature, but I do see value in discussing these other problems since that’s what this community is for?

Also, while Rimu can defederate, letting people discuss it first is better. Best case scenario, the groups find some kind of compromise. Otherwise it lets people weigh in on the platform policies and federation status, instead of having admins make that call on their own

Nothing against Mbin, but how would it help with the AI moderation issue? From what I understand about the AI moderation, it was a group of mods that sent a user’s history into a model for analysis. That will still be possible with Mbin, and anywhere else

Thankfully the places with newer stock had the RRW reverse re-wind discs, so it was easy enough to click it forward one step once you got to the end of a disc

OpenAI used to be a public benefit company. Or it called itself one anyway

There are healthcare systems in the world other than the one in the usa

It’s still E2E, but the sender is Zulip and the potentially hostile service provider is google/apple. E2E isn’t limited to person to person chats

It would be nice if Zulip chats were E2E, but I imagine that would be a large undertaking

What if you distributed the tool under the normal channels, and then used gumroad (or anything similar) to sell an optional key that adds a little visual indicator or removes a nag message. I’ve seen a few other open source projects do that. Grayjay for example

For anyone that doesn’t agree with the decision in this article

Just set up a separate set of awards for AI artists and creators. Meat-bags and non-meat-bags can tune in if they care.

Win win for everyone.

I cross posted this to !selfhosted@lemmy.world, I hope that was ok! I figured it would be good to spread the knowledge

Or if you want to read this one in context

How would being under an endless embargo make the current administration any more trustworthy or likely to hold up their end of a deal?

All they have to do is lay low and keep their mouths shut for a while and then trade could start again

As a Canadian, this does absolutely nothing.

You can do every single thing the americans are asking for, and the deals will STILL be thrown out the next day.

Flatpack vs flatpak

• the news isn’t limited to this one article
• publicizing news about the consequences of war, no matter the scale, incentivizes those involved to push for an end to conflict. Investors don’t like it when companies have to spend money to rebuild things

Why wouldn’t they, it doesn’t seen like anyone is facing consequences for it.
