I've seen the pattern be used as an enterprise pricing dodge before: rather than sign the whole org up at $$$, everyone signs up themselves at $ (and maybe get to claim or somesuch)

another reading could be that someone in leadership/security went "holy shit this exposure is terrible" and put forth a policy including "no personal" and the poor little promptfondler is left ashen-faced upon reading that the policy instruction actually thought of the first obvious workaround

that made me smile good and proper, ty for the lol

I love the orangeposters in there, some of them sure are thonkers

or sunset super-voting shares within seven years

weird number to pick given they might not last that long if felon and friends aren't removed earlier on..

"You should assume that you're being manipulated until they have better systems in place," says Lily Ray, founder of the search engine optimisation (SEO) and AI search consultancy Algorythmic. "We're moving towards this 'one true answer' world.

on the one hand I'm all "save me from marketroids", on the other all "oh so we've solved philosophy?"

dear god what a fucking sentence to be saying as a description of the moment. and I'd fucking bet they're talking to their customers in the same terms/language

yup, that paper really went places

damned shame they couldn't both lose

Ms. A reported extensive experience working with active appearance models (AAMs) and large language models (LLMs)—but never chatbots—in school and as a practicing medical professional, with a firm understanding of how such technologies work. Following a “36-hour sleep deficit” while on call, she first started using OpenAI’s GPT-4o for a variety of tasks that varied from mundane tasks to attempting to find out if her brother, a software engineer who died three years earlier, had left behind an AI version of himself that she was “supposed to find” so that she could “talk to him again.”

from here. what follows just gets more screech-inducing

I recall seeing someone elsewhere on the fedi trying to drum up a point like that a few weeks ago, their complaint was something like “I’ve been chased out of neurodivergent spaces for not being enough into LLMs”

No idea if their claim was true; I can definitely see the possibility of some ND neurotypes slanting more favourable, but nfi on the values

Not sure I buy the ground for that argument anyway tho. Lotta people used to smoke and society slapped all manner of regulation on that

ie the eventual safety team reach out included one of their ppl asking me to tell them what investigation vibecamp did, and i found out that they don't tell 'junior members' of the safety team about past things

yikes

that feels/across as an intentional way to set that team up for future failure (and, at a guess, sets up a plausible excuse to yeet participants when they fuck up, combined with making things disappear)

random memory time!

I recall one of the people from the original rave generation here (ZA) once telling me about them taking GHB in combination with something else (I forget what), with a positively-framed comment of “it makes you feel like your eyes are aflame” — never understood the appeal, especially for that. so much so I’ve never even wanted to look the compound up on psychonautwiki

the rest of your remarks wrt goings on over in the bay area echo impressions I’ve gotten from things. kinda surprised to hear ket is that big - any idea how recent it is? I wonder whether it came about following from the findings around ket as a positive treatment for depression?

Seconding the core sentiment here

Those that have gone through abuse and hurt already have a lot on their plate, and having to handhold others through it is a lot of work - try to be mindful of what you might be asking from another

and, frankly, given the “what makes you think there even is a repo?” type answers, I’d have some Ops Maturity questions there too

(nvm even the code itself (which apparently is something in the ballpark of heisenberg dynamics))
