Because LLMs are changing so fast that nobody wants to spend time carefully engineering an efficient setup for them which might just get thrown away in 6 months when the modality changes again.

That's not how it works.

The reason you see "dumb" refusals that "should clearly be allowed" is that they're using more traditional deterministic methods to deny prompts rather than just relying on the random LLM which you could bypass by luck.

I'm pretty sure that skip ahead is deliberately broken to satisfy advertisers.

Sponsorblock has zero issue jumping to the precise moment after the sponsor vs jump ahead always leaves just enough time to still hear the name of the sponsor.

That's a silly reply.

Imagine telling a kid to chisel what they want out of the marble line by line with a straight face when they can clearly see people appearing entire programs into existence in minutes.

The system cards are effectively a data dump for researchers to sift through.

They're not meant for normal consumers who just want to use the model for work.

People don't want to make games, they want to make multiplayer games.

Very few kids are going to go though the incredible difficulty of making multiplayer work in something like Godot.

Don't ignore the transient.

The industrial revolution created a hell on Earth for workers for the better part of a century.

Feels like a poor philosophy to me. 10 years feels like plenty of value to get out of something before switching.

Thousands of years?

We've only had the tech to be able to research this in some technical depth for a few decades (both scale of computation and genetics / imaging techniques).

This would not fund the people you want it to fund.

Bad or borderline actors would be so much better at creating whatever metrics you're basing things off of that the actual value creators wouldn't stand a chance.

As for me that's a risk I'm willing to accept in return for the freedom of the code.

I'm not going to deliberately write code that's LIKELY to do more harm than good, but crippling the potential positive impact just because of some largely hypothetical risk? That feels almost selfish, what would I really be trying to avoid, personally running into a feel-bad outcome?
