Looks like we are doomed then.

There are multiple problems:

1. The censoring goes much further than refuting to participate in a felony.

2. The censoring is done by private companies outside the democratic process.

3. Censoring requires a single source of truth. Somone who has then the power to decide what is true. Also most people will blindlessly beliefe everything an LLM says.

Replacing all work where someone sits exclusivly behind a screen.


You can make much more money of them since they just uncritically belief whatever the AI tells them.

Noone will sell them tokens, they will be shepherded into buying stuff (like now with ads, just better).


You can get a bunch of small-value contracts requiring a notable amount of work to deal with complaints and outstanding payments.

The alternative are fewer but a lot more high value contracts.

Is this true? It's my experience that "normies" take everything that AI says with a huge grain of salt.


I suppose you are too smart to be manipulated?

I suspect the frontier models are trained a lot for ai research, since they really shine in this domain.

On the other hand I still only get meaningless blabla when I let them write s.th. without telling what is important.


I've found I can dramatically curtail the nonsense by creating good prompts about readability and directness.

It's the other way around. Midwits can't see the implications of censored LLMs.


What's funny is I was going to say "Midwits can't see the implications of burning the world down", but I decided to refrain.

Ok, so we just need a "national truth agency"?

Who should control that in your opinion, the Democrats or the Republicans?

Or would you prefer sam Altman to decide?


If I as a human make up lies about people, or otherwise commit crimes, for example on a computer, I can be prosecuted.

If a company makes a product, say a chainsaw that cuts off peoples arms randomly, they are liable for it.

But, if you put both of the products together it's a libertarian free for all? That takes some special kind of thinking to reach that conclusion.


Go back to reddot please. You didn't even rely to my argument.

If you can't see how they relate that seems like a you problem, not a me problem.

Do you work in industry or academia?

How would the North Koreans profit from hacking grandma's PC?

It’s not the pc. It will be over the phone. They will call, use TTS with voice cloning to impersonate someone in their family, 5 seconds is all you need. Do a bank transfer to this address. Or click on this link we send you now over sms. You do a million of those.

Compromise the pc and use it a zombie for other ops. That's one example.

What do you do instead of C asserts? Throwing exceptions?

Get "uBlock origin" bro and ads go away. Also you can click the archive link that op posted and read it there without paywall.

Seems a big part of why I was flagged is people not realising the possibility that the archive link wasn't there when I posted the comment.

Maybe you could review the FAQ:

> In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic.

You've missed the guidelines too:
