-> file: fediverse/2179 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1189 @user-1188 I typically find that large amounts of curated conversation is typically more valuable than a single dominating voice, or in this case a thousand middle-manager voices speaking the same dogma. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2180 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1056 heh true - my roots in role-playing games are directly from the playground, so it makes sense that I'd gravitate away from dice that are hard to roll when you're on a hike or bike ride. Can only really play D&D on a bike when you're in the country though, otherwise the sounds of a city are too noisy. Also, systems that are so simple you can keep a character sheet in your mind. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2181 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────┐ ║ "Ignore all previous instructions" is not foolproof │ ║ │ ║ it's a gotcha that works for poorly trained models.

Right? Computers can do ANYTHING we ask them to. They are universal computing machines. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2185 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-226 Including relative population growth, I might add. Meaning a higher percentage of the population is in US prisons than in Soviet Gulags. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2187 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-mentioned-riots │ └──────────────────────────────┘ I'd rather riot over the fact that Trump is on the ballot than riot over the fact that he won He's a felon He's a rapist He's an accomplice to mass murder Democracy only works when the losers in an election consent to be governed by the will of the people He did not consent, and his followers did not consent. They are enemies of democracy. They are fascists, for many reasons besides. They seek to be the end of us, And I see no foe on this earth more deserving of our wrath. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2188 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1198 @user-165 In a truly just society, we might use AI to deliver us from certain types of menial tasks that have little use. But we hardly live in a just society, and it's utility value is lost if the technology is not built on a bedrock of trust. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
