  And you think there’s not bias in those rules that’s notable, and that the edge cases I mentioned won’t be an issue, or what?

  You seem to have sidestepped what I’ve said to rant about how OpenAI sucks when that was just meant to be an example of how even those best informed about AI in the world right now don’t really understand it.

  Sure, who will it impersonate if you don’t? That’s where the bias comes in.

  And yes, they do need a guide, because the way chatbots behave is not intuitive or clear, there’s lots of weird emergent behavior in them even experts don’t fully understand (see OpenAI’s 4o sycophancy articles today). Chatbots’ behavior looks obvious, and in many cases it is…until it isn’t. There’s lots of edge cases.

  Something that annoys me about people who love to harp on about how bad Mozilla is because they’ve gone downhill (which they have): Who is better? Genuinely compare them to their competition. Google? Heck no. Brave? Nope. Microsoft? Absolutely not. Apple? No. People complain about how much Mozilla spends on advocacy, but then when they actually do the advocacy, they’re happy about it! They’re perpetually stuck between a rock and a hard place because they’re pulled in both directions and thus, Firefox suffers. But, are they actually a broken clock? Really?

  Lots of states made flavored reusable vapes illegal, but flavored disposables are legal. Yes, it is as stupid as it sounds.

  Oh, of course, it’s just their tools have gotten much better. You could have said what you just did about the internet too, and it’d also be correct, but it definitely had a big impact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair, I should have said “for a bad actor”, of which I am not. I haven’t experience with the tools they’d use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they’re saying it would be really easy to create a fake image that would have in the past had that level of impact.

  I’m talking about the low-effort market segment that flavored juul pods, for instance, used to take up. Now, it’s flavored dispos, making your own juice, or juul-type vapes with only menthol and tobacco flavors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Tried to Vape the Internet⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US, replaceable pods can only be tobacco or menthol flavored, disposables can be any flavor. Yes, it is as stupid as it sounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but you, who I assume follow this mindset, do buy things and) under capitalism, since you must in order to live. How, then, do you decide?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that is a useless mental model. It doesn’t help you make decisions except those that lead to revolution. The person you’re replying to is trying to point that out. If I want to buy a phone, which should I buy? Your rhetoric says “whichever one will lead to revolution”, which really isn’t helpful.
