I like how it calls the captcha an “IQ test”.

You mean captchas? Sure, that’s an old hat, they’ve been doing that for a decade now.

This is one of those newer systems though that doesn’t rely on a captcha, it’s just a checkbox you have to click that says “I’m human” next to it, and it does some JavaScript magic or whatever to figure out if it’s true. Not really sure how it works TBH.

Technically a good point, but we’re talking natural language here, and the goal would be to restrict the discussion to only a particular domain, not predict whether an outcome can be achieved or not.

At the current state of AI proliferation, you can literally enter you prompt into the product assistant chatbox on Amazon and get the same result you’d get from their web app.

I even remember a post a few months ago where someone did this to the chatbot on a car dealership’s website. Apparently, they currently don’t have any input filters (which would likely require yet another layer of AI to avoid making it overly restrictive), they just hook those things up straight to the main pipe and off you go.

I mean, it probably wants to make sure you’re using the API for programmatic access so they can charge you for it instead of having you abuse the free tier.

Not sure if they’re still around, but in the early days, before the API was released, there were some libraries that simply accessed the browser interface to let you programmatically create chat completions. I believe the first ChatGPT Twitter bot was implemented like that.

This post isn’t so much about whether it’s necessary from a technical standpoint (it likely is), it’s just an observation on the sheer irony and annoyance of it being that way, that’s all.

Well, I just did. Here’s the response:

I’m sorry if it feels like I’m questioning your humanity! I’m just programmed to ensure a safe and productive interaction. Sometimes I ask for confirmation to ensure I’m talking to a human and not a machine or a bot. But I’m here to chat and assist you with whatever you need!

Not sure what I was expecting except the usual machine mind evasiveness.

Haha

What’s funny about this is that it IS, in fact, at least somewhat historically accurate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Arabian_Legion

While they did wear separate uniforms from the Nazis, there were in fact both Blacks and Arabs fighting on the side of the Nazi regime in WW2. Asians too, of course, since Japan was allied with Germany.

Great timing, lol

What really shocked me about this list is that Aaron was apparently already the 23rd person to do so SINCE THE START OF 2020, meaning there’s roughly been one person setting themselves on fire every other month or so, and I don’t think I’ve even HEARD of any of the other ones.

And not all of them happened in foreign countries either. In fact, apparently someone did the very same thing in front of the Israeli consulate in Atlanta a mere 3 months ago and I don’t even remember hearing about it.

Yes, I saw some talk and a screenshot somewhere that showed that apparently in its current state, Gemini can (or could) be asked to output the prompt enhancements it used along with the generated images.

The screenshot showed someone asking for images of fruit, and the enhanced prompt included “racially diverse groups of people”. Now if they’re inserting something like that even for images containing no people at, it stands to reason that this is just a default enhancement they ALWAYS apply, no matter the prompt, which would explain the racially diverse Nazis (and all the other brouhahahas we’ve seen from them).

Hold on, we need to invade your privacy so we can better protect your privacy.

Clone the repo and make it yourself.

I had a surprisingly good time with DEATHLOOP, especially after having completed Prey 2017 earlier this year and being a little frustrated about some of the design choices that were made, and wondering if Arkane had finally lost their mojo.

I almost didn’t even want to buy it at first because it had received such mixed reviews, and it certainly took some getting used to initially, but once it clicked and I finally understood all the rules and what the game was asking of me, I couldn’t put it down anymore for like a solid week.
