Yeah, for me some of it is that I got more nuanced and forgot the places I used to be black and white / aim for a harsh burn. Not that I’m not still ignorant with plenty of black and what thinking.

And I think that besides people chasing upvotes, there is also more organising of movements online and by pushing issues into ethical framings that demonise the other side you create anger that keeps a movement going and can be directed but then large groups lose the ability to talk with nuance about that topic

Fuck the YouTube PMs

They were condescending on the bug with the fourth highest internal ratings that simply requested that shorts could be removed (particularly for children and for mental health). A particular gripe of some engineers was that it couldn’t be removed from the subscriptions page. I was impressed they removed the condescending comment after a month but they never really addressed the large volume of employees telling them this was the wrong thing to be doing

Thanks the taking the time. I always find it hard to follow up and point out the ambiguity / alternative without coming across in some unwelcome way

Have you ever tried writing a scrapper? I have for offline reference material. You’ll make a mistake like that a few times and know but there are sure to be other times you don’t notice. I usually only want a relatively small site (say a Khan Academy lesson which doesn’t save text offline, just videos) and put in a large delay between requests but I’ll still come back after thinking I have it down and it’s thrashed something

we?

Did you self host it or find a community?

It’s funny, I had half been avoiding it for languages. I had lots of foreign friends and they often lived together in houses and those houses would almost have this creole. They came to learn English and were reinforcing their own mistakes but it was mutually intelligible so the mistakes were reinforced and not caught. I suspect LLMs would be amazing at doing that to people and their main use case along these lines seems like it would be to practice at a slightly higher level than you so I suspect some of those errors would be hard to catch / really easy to take as correct instead of validating

Strongly disagree with the TLDR thing

At least, the iPhone notifications summaries were bad enough I eventually turned them off (but periodically check them) and while I was working at Google you couldn’t really turn of the genAI summaries of internal things (that evangelists kept adding to things) and I rarely found them useful. Well… they’re useful if the conversation is really bland but then the conversation should usually be in some thread elsewhere, if there was something important I don’t think the genAI systems were very good at highlighting it

Yeah, I’m not disagreeing with the probable outcome here. I just think that it’s more likely at this point in time for the LLM output to be doing its stochastic thing in a way your human brain is seeing patterns in. But, I was also curious how wrong I was and that’s part of why I asked for some examples. Not that I could really validate them

I didn’t actually bother reading up on the instance. I’ve got some good mates out near Quebec. Its a nice area

Yeah. Strongly agreed for most of the behaviour. I think most amusingly in Grok where obvious efforts have been made to update the output beyond rails and accuracy checks

But the guy here talking about how these will be used control the information diet of people, he’s probably right about how this turns out unless there’s changes to legislation (and I’m expecting any changes to be in the wrong direction) even if he’s possibly misinterpreting some LLM output now

Wait… I just noticed the server you’re on. Since it’s not lemmy.world, is this a shitpost?

A bunch of this can be expected failure modes for LLMs. Do you have a list of short examples to get an idea?

There’s huge risk here but I don’t think most are designed to control people’s opinions. I think most are chasing the cheapest option and it’s expensive to have people upset about racist content so they try to train around that sometimes too much leading to black Nazi images etc.

But yeah, it is a power that will get abused by more than just grok

I think the only hard part is choosing what server to setup your account on. Just link to the one you’re on and they don’t really need to know the complicated part exists

For comments like this I really wish they were split out so I could upvote the bits I agree with and not touch the parts I’m ignorant of

Yeah, agreed the Europe case just kinda works. And yeah, there are plenty of countries with big broad roads and they’re mostly hostile to bikes.

I still think there is a bit of overemphasis on infrastructure over culture. If you can look out for bikes and cars on a windy road you can on a better road. And trucks are pretty cultural. At least the large ones. Its pretty frustrating how well the US exports culture because they’re becoming more common around the world

I’m in Europe now walking down streets that are wide enough for a single car seeing other hikers and bikers and cars stopping for each other. Agreed these roads aren’t designed for cars hitting top speed with wide margins around them, but at least some of these comments are written in this thread are US is special / there needs to be an ideal design for bicycles or nothing is just aggregating to read

I didn’t know about that setting, cheers

I’m curious, if an RSS bot posts something, and a human cross posts it (hopefully because they decided it was high quality), does it show or not?
