Seems like a weekend hack to set up a fediverse-backed categorized market that, when you want to buy something- forwards to a "buy our download" link of the seller's choice. Rabid moralists would have to challenge each producer/indie developer individually to take things down.

The real crux is to build a nice user interface on top of it so people would actually use it.

I'm in this meme, and I don't like it.

One clip on Instagram, which has been viewed over 21.5 million times, shows a man ordering "a large Mountain Dew" and the AI voice continually replying "and what will you drink with that?".

"Dude, Where's my car" turning into prophecy wasn't in my bingo card:

Spontaneous boiling is the scientifically correct term, so, yes, he is wrong for correcting her.

Are you using x11 or Wayland? Is anyone running Wayland with NVIDIA drivers? Everything works well in x11, but I'm getting bad flicker in Wayland. When trying to track it down I was led down a rabbit hole suggesting there is some protocol mismatch between what the NVIDIA drivers implement and what Wayland expects.

• Drop the vsync!
• But, that will only lead to tearing!

MasterCard's and Valve's statements seems to point at Stripe and PayPal as the ones who folded to the pressure. These payment processors then cited MasterCard's rules to back up their change in policy.

MasterCard now clarifying that the payment processors are over-interpreting the rules and anything legal is ok seems a very good thing here. Valve should be able to go back to Stripe and PayPal with this and say: "Hey, you've misunderstood the rules you are quoting; MasterCard themselves say anything legal is ok, and that is the exact policy we've been using!"

Also id probably lose 4 of these before giving up outright.

You buy them in bags of 20ish, and keep buying them until you have established an equilibrium in your home where there always are a few around to put on new bags. I'm not joking.

I discovered that recent versions of the built-in photo apps on Android flat out refuses to do this. The UI for removing location info is there, but it is intentionally blocked if the exif info was added automatically by GPS (i.e., it only works if you manually have set a location). It seems so weird, and outright evil, to block one of the key ways for people to stay safe.

The only reason this is "click bait" is because someone chose to do this, rather than their own mental instability bringing this out organically.

This is my point. The case we are discussing now isn't noteworthy, because someone doing it deliberately is equally "impressive" as writing out a disturbing sentence in MS Paint. One cannot create a useful "answer engine" without it being capable of producing something that looks weird/provoking/offensive when taken out of context; no more than one can create a useful drawing program that blocks out all offensive content. Nor is it a worthwhile goal.

The cases to care about are those where the LLM takes a perfectly reasonable conversation off the rails. Clickbait like the one in the OP is actually harmful in that they drown out such real cases, and is therefore deserving of ridicule.

Does the marketing matter when the reason for the offending output is that the user spent significant deliberate effort in coaxing the LLM to output what it did? It still seems like MS Paint with extra steps to me.

I get not wanting LLMs to unprompted output "offensive content". Just like it would be noteworthy if "Clear canvas" in MS Paint sometimes yielded a violent bloody photograph. But, that isn't what is going on in OPs clickbait.

And, the thing is, LLMs are quite well protected. Look what I coaxed MS Paint to say with almost no effort! Don't get me started on plain pen and paper! Which we put in the hands of TODDLERS!
