I’m so silly. I saw this and thought, oh cool a teeny tiny surprising win. Guess I should only be happy with the destruction of all LLMs.

I thought that was a euphemism for porn.

Do you break into art museums and smear shit on the most beautiful works?

Interesting. Thanks for that explanation

What does that look like? I hadn’t noticed anything happening during a call so far, then again I don’t do a lot of calls.

Haha yeah that’s where my head went too

themselves immortal

lulz

I just didn’t like it. I did a tutorial years ago and it all felt unnatural and hard to read/write.

Bash syntax sucks but imo rust syntax is 50 times worse. Interesting idea though.

It was a lot of different ways of claiming these are users that would “scare off normal people”. But I’ve seen several users comment that they were on the blocklist but barely ever comment or say anything controversial and I tend to believe them. Also a lot of the regexes were pretty random. Some are strict perfect matches while others randomly allow digits to follow the username, which was the case with mine.

I’m not sure “sane” is the best word for us generally 😂

But I get your point and agree with it

This is the correct take, and I kinda hate many things AI is doing.

Did you read his statement on this topic? He had a whole host of reasons and not all of the blocklist can be explained by them imo

Apparently the dev has an account and has taken notes on anyone that ever disagreed with them? I see I got banned from the tesseract community 8 months ago which I’d forgotten about honestly. Don’t think I ever participated there but was banned out of the blue for “advocating violence”. If memory serves I had made an implication about “Luigi” in an unrelated community. So it seems like the dude has lurked and made a list of “bad” people.

Part of me understands that reasoning, and then a part of me is like “how the hell are you going to maintain such a list?”

Seems like a fulltime job. I wonder if it’s possible he instructed AI to make a list based on some criteria and then he just re-runs that periodically.

lol "^TrickDacy([0-9]+)?$", implies “this guy has lots of alts with numbers!” which I don’t have any…

I’m way more curious as to how this dumb shit came about rather than mad I’m being censored from the platform for some people. It’s just bizarre. Like what did I do to get on the list? What did anyone do? I don’t actually buy this “he’s a fascist” thing just because I’ve not seen convincing evidence yet, and the person I asked about that yesterday didn’t respond. Might’ve missed something. I kinda think maybe the dude filtered by most comments and then made a snap judgement. I’ve done a lot of commenting here so I may have been on such a list… who tf knows…

edit: the way that file is formatted suggests it’s maintained by hand. What a weird fuckin thing to do…

I think we are on the same page there… I kinda think we are probably doomed, but I don’t want to fully give up.

and never think much about it

Actually a lot of people do think about it. Which is what I’m really advocating for here. I don’t expect or demand AI to go away. What I see as the problem is the same as the root problem elsewhere: all or nothing thinking. Either AI is good or it’s bad. I want there to be a world where we don’t run full speed with AI, dismissing valid point from detractors. In a world where 98% of people are not thinking about the dangers of AI, I’m glad 2% are, even if sometimes they come off like zealots…

but they aren’t necessary to have AI

Does that matter if a thousand billionaires are building those based upon investors being convinced of the precise opposite? I’m not even sure what the truth is but it seems not all that important since I don’t get to decide what gets built. What I can do is have tiny influence on the people I speak to. I can make them aware of the problem and maybe that can bubble up to a larger understanding if enough people spread that awareness also.

I’m not sure anyone is insisting on calling things slop which cannot be discerned isn’t human-written. Like another commenter pointed out, it’s the obvious-slop that is the subject of ire.
