This gets at my own personal perspective of using LLMs to respond - it’s not just about not putting effort into understanding and responding yourself, rather it is about making yourself a proxy to a tool I could use myself, and doing so *without even having a better understanding of how to use the tool to answer my question*, and still thinking you’re somehow made a positive contribution, that is the most disrespectful.

If you genuinely thought the LLM could help me then you should be explaining your process to me for how to use it and validate responses, or else at least you should ask me for more info and explain how you think it’s responses could help if you really do think you’re better at operating it.

Imagine doing the same in a workshop, and taking a powertool to an object before you even bothered figuring out what the other person wanted. Or trying to be helpful by asking questions on your behalf to other departments, but messing up the context and thus repeatedly producing useless answers that you have to put time into refuting.

Unreliable certainly. For as long as there’s radio coverage there’s a way, but it used to be impractical to give passengers enough bandwidth. 20 years ago you’d have to ask the captain nicely to get a call routed (read: have an emergency)

If you allow civilian HAM radio, you go back a few more decades (not quite applicable to planes, but definitely applicable to boats). If you allow Morse code you go back yet a little further.

In USA, after 3 years of no use and no intent by the owner to use you can challenge a trademark

They went for the protocol used by Bluesky. But apparently disabling federation.

What about surrealists

Interestingly they’re basing it off the Bluesky atproto architecture. Seems like they’re keeping controlled sign-ups and setting the appview to only index (and only display) their own users.

And if they don’t break protocol compatibility, others could have a “read-only view” of their network from servers / clients that federate (comparable to a lemmy server which would reject incoming messages but still let you browse)

A board of peace - after telling the Norwegian prime minister that he’s not committed to peace anymore because he didn’t get the peace price (and no, the PM doesn’t control the peace price)

They’re targeting anybody who challenges their authority, starting with people who look different (foreigners first)

It’s actually kinda easy. Neural networks are just weirder than usual logic gate circuits. You can program them just the same and insert explicit controlled logic and deterministic behavior. To somebody who don’t know the details of LLM training, they wouldn’t be able to tell much of a difference. It will be packaged as a bundle of node weights and work with the same interfaces and all.

The reason that doesn’t work well if you try to insert strict logic into a traditional LLM despite the node properties being well known is because of how intricately interwoven and mutually dependent all the different parts of the network is (that’s why it’s a LARGE language model). You can’t just arbitrarily edit anything or insert more nodes or replace logic, you don’t know what you might break. It’s easier to place inserted logic outside of the LLM network and train the model to interact with it (“tool use”).

Use it as a dumb worklog sometimes. Tell it what you were already gonna do and ask if it would do the same. It’s almost always gonna agree. Then just ignore it. If somebody AI obsessed pulls out the full logs they’re gonna see you’re doing what the AI said was good. (basically Inception, lol)

At least the host country agreed to those

There’s real things to criticize, why pick something stupid?

You can move to a dictatorship if you want to be relieved of the option to vote wrong

If you can not understand a difference in scale then your school years was a cataclysmic disaster

That argument works when the difference is small.

That argument doesn’t work when one option is a cataclysmic disaster

Encouraging more democratic leaning voters would’ve made a difference however, you don’t have to assume linear proportional effect

Seems not worth it because it still needs more infrastructure

But it gets better (worse, actually) - they have low quality oil with the lowest demand and expensive refining

Hong Kong oppression against dissidents…

CCP didn’t take it when the current Taiwan gov moved there, they only took the mainland.

That’s literally the definition of how countries split in two
