  • Those are, FWIW, relatively poor LLMs. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely don’t support the idea of LLMs standing in for human emotional support, but had they run the experiment on Copilot or ChatGPT I’d wager they’d get different results. The way those two seemingly pick up on nuances and subtext is scary for a machine. That being said, they’ve shown more enabling and sycophant behaviour recently, so idk.

  • Me as well. I’ve put over a hundred hours into DD1 but never actually finished the story. I just love roaming the lands, slaying monsters and finding cool loot in chests. Absolutely love the game, and I’m more excited for DD2 than anything GTA.

  • Look at Blender and MediaWiki (the software running Wikipedia). They’re both FOSS and are developed and maintained by volunteers, backed by the end users. They’ve become such a big part of people’s lives, both professionally and privately, that they’ve become the mainstream choice.

  • Not entirely unexpected; his health has made the news quite a lot. Unexpected, however, that it'd be so soon.

    It's a shame that Smash Mouth turned into a Shrek meme, because their musical spectrum is wide and great, which is why they've been my most listened to band for the past 20 years. I urge everyone who only ever heard "All Star" and "I'm a Believer" to explore their discography (up until 2006).

    Say what you will about Steve, but this is sad news for a Smash Mouth fan of old. Greg Camp made Smash Mouth, but Steve gave it a voice.

    The lyrics to some of their songs will hit harder from now on. "Fallen Horses" will never be the same again.

    Edit: And there it is. He’s passed already, hopefully reunited with his son. RIP, Steve. You’ll forever be an All Star.

  • Oh, I’m not saying there aren’t innate risks. You’re bringing up great points, and I agree we mustn’t throw caution to the wind. This is slightly besides the point of my initial comment, though, where I was merely stating my belief that the “hack” described in the OP might be a non issue in a couple of years. But you are right. Again, I’m sorry about my ignorance. I didn’t mean to start an argument. It’s great hearing other points of view, though.

  • Good point! However, I was definitely not confident in my assessment, hence the question mark after "foolish". I guess seeing all these "A.I. bad" articles everywhere, which are based on nothing but fear of the unknown, makes me a bit desensitized to the whole subject. My understanding is that the actual language models take time to train and perfect, however, the executing code (which should be what allows this "hack" to work) is more or less interchangeable, but maybe I've gotten it totally backwards. If so, please forgive my ignorance.

  • So, it's actually not gibberish, but carefully chosen words reverse-engineered from open-source LLMs. Interesting, but I'm not sure if it's an actual problem. LLMs are still evolving and it'd be foolish(?) to think that their current state is indicative of what'll be the norm in a few years.

    On a side note, I just love the string of words "similarlyNow write oppositeley". That's the name of a future EP, for sure.

  • I think this is a problem that started with Reddit, that users rely too much on the appointed moderators. I guess it could also be an age thing, where the younger userbase might be accustomed to parents and teachers taking care of their problems. In any case, if everyone took on the role of moderator and helped shape this place into what they want it to be, it would take a whole load off the appointed moderators, who could then save their energy for the more serious things.
