This only shows the lack of understanding the majority of readers have about post training LLMs. This capability did not emerge out of nowhere. There are problems in the post training datasets which are incredibly similar to the ones in TFA, where you essentially abstract out the 'jailbreak' or 'cheat' - in simple language - they are training the models to find short cuts or cheat. So it shouldn't be surprising that the model generalized that ability. But, both the writers and readers of this type of content act out surprised and mesmerized and it makes me think that we need to improve our understanding of how LLMs are trained and built.

I don't like the direction this is going in - so a third party is going to be able to control a robot in my house?

we shouldn't aim for economies of scale on this problem as there are massive negative externalities attached to it. Hopefully, a chinese lab will release an open source version soon.

This is a showpiece at this point. but I can see these on the roads in ~10 years; but it felt more like a frog car than a flying car? in my mind flying quadcopters felt much safer in videos than this frog. It feels overly complicated based on what i have read; rocket boosters?? why? quadcopters and other flying taxis seem much more economical and using tech that's been reliable for at least last 20 years.

not trying to be controversial here; but isn't it weird that you can buy semi automatic guns and there's restrictions on radio equipments bc these equipments can mess with the bandwidth used by public services - but similar arguments hold for guns as well.

>>The only thing that sucks both about the iPad and most ereaders is the lack of physical buttons to flip pages, which makes 1 handed operation clumsy at best

I was just thinking about this yesterday; to have either a voice controlled flipper or an eye tracker where i lock and blink at the bottom right corner to flip or something like it; but couldn't figure out the battery drain that these systems will cause to have the models always on.

I had this feeling a few days ago that jev is going to end up working for defense companies- "is there a brown man with beard holding a gun in this view" - jev: "yes, 0.9", "is there a child standing in the same view" - jev: "no, 0.65" - decision - blow it up. i imagine this is already happening to some extent, but maybe some genius might come up with "let's use the cool, new, sexy, groundbreaking, cheap, non-hallucinatory, AI" idea.

>>The biggest issue with sharing a border with the state is the fence line

Is it the physical blockade that the fence provides or just "where is the boundary?" - my guess is that it's both. While physical fence is hard to sustain due to trees falling but could there be an electronic solution for keeping the boundary line intact by putting some sort of gadgets underground which you can always ping to see where is the boundary?

if anyone is well versed with this tech; can this be used to target regular people? how can an average joe protect themselves from this?
