352·20 hours agoJust to be clear, companies know that LLMs are categorically bad at giving life advice/ emotional guidance. They also know that personal decision making is the most common use of the software. They could easily have guardrails in place to prevent it from doing that.
They will never do that.
This is by design. They want people to develop pseudo-emotional bonds with the software, and to trust the judgment in matters of life guidance. In the next year or so, some LLM projects will become profitable for the first time as advertisers flock to the platforms. Injecting ads into conversations with a trusted confidant is the goal. Incluencing human behaviour is the goal.
By 2028, we will be reading about “ChatGPT told teen to drink Pepsi until she went into a sugar coma.”
The headline also does not say the same thing that the post claims!
Headline: “15% of content” --> every 6th or 7th post or comment is a corporate troll
Article: “15% of subreddits contain” --> the vast majority of subreddits contain no troll content
Actual study: [file not found]
I also cannot find any Pew research study resembling the one described. The link is a 2017 report that doesn’t mention reddit.
It turns out that people are better at most things than non-people.

Nine UNRWA staff members ‘may have been involved’ in October 7 attacks
Detailed findings on attacks carried out on and after 7 October 2023 in Israel
A U.N. inquiry accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza
‘Clear and convincing information’ that hostages held in Gaza subjected to sexual violence
There have already been several.
Rare Ken Paxton win.
Something something about a broken clock being right twice a day.
And here I’ve been throwing away all my dead mosquitoes like a sucker.
…And other signs that you may be in a cult.
We need countries phasing OUT the death penalty, not new ones starting!
No, they already have Metapedia for that.
To the downvotes: this specifically bans religious dress. Don’t you think it’s a little too convenient that the majority religion is one that doesn’t incorporate any type of religious dress? This law is designed to have an outsized effect on people who wear a keffiyeh, yarmulke, hijab, or turban.
For anyone unfamiliar, this is just extending an already contentious, anti-religion law.
Statement from a Muslim civil rights group
That’s exactly what this is and has been a long-standing campaign.
So basically, no Muslims or Jews or Sikhs allowed? Doesn’t seem that great to me.
The voice recognition is honestly the best I’ve ever used. It’ll be a shame to give it up.
If I decide to switch keyboards, I’m certain I would go back to HeliBoard.
There’s been a real explosion of open source voice recognition over the past few months, and I haven’t tested a lot. Whisper+ looks like a promising one. Before using Futo, I used Sayboard, which I was pretty happy with.
Immich it licensed under AGPL 3 and the code is open - isn’t that FOSS?
I know some of their apps are licensed under a semi-open license of their own creation and that’s been touchy to say the least. But is it true to say that none of their apps are FOSS?
Wild animals are never “harmless.”
Deer have killed people. Birds have killed people.
Maybe it was a bad idea for society to put 90% of the internet on one company’s infrastructure.
So in the middle of planning his invasion of Venezuela, he noticed Colombia is right next door?
Keep protesting for the people of Iran. Keep pressure on Western governments to act and support the Persian people. The Iranian people never wanted to live under a fundamentalist terror state.
Economic isolation against every individual official and commander killing their own people is the most important tool we have.
Keep the information channels open at all costs.
