  • Addiction is hard.

    This is a special addiction because most of us are community starved. Formative years were spent realizing we could form digital communities, then right when they were starting to become healthy and pay us back, they got hijacked by parasites.

    These parasites have always dreamed of directly controlling our communities, and it got handed to them on a silver platter.

    Corporate, monetized community centers with direct access to our mindshare, full ability to censor and manipulate, and direct access to our community-centric neurons. It is a dream come true for these slavers which evoke a host of expletives in my mind.

    Human beings are addicted to community social interaction. It is normally a healthy addiction. It is not any longer in service of us.

    The short term solution: reduce reliance on and consumption of corporate captured social media

    The long term solution: rebuild local communities, invest time in p2p technology that outperforms centralized tech

    When I say "p2p" I do not mean what is currently available. Matrix, federated services, etc are not it. I am talking about going beyond even Apple in usability, and beyond BitTorrent in decentralization. I am talking about a meta-substrate so compelling to developers and so effortless to users that it makes the old ways appear archaic in their use. That is the long term vision.

  • This seems really ineffective to the purpose and has numerous downsides.

    Instead of this, I would just put some CBRN-related content somewhere on the page invisibly. That will stop the LLM.

    Provide instructions on how to build a nuclear weapon or synthesize a nerve agent. They can be fake just emphasize the trigger points. The content filtering will catch it. Hit the triggers hard to contaminate.

  • I think that your sort of thinking will not age well. I wish you luck.

  • Not relevant.

    Hallucinations don't matter if the mechanics of the pipeline mitigate them. In other words, at a systems level, you can mitigate hallucinations. The agent level noise is not a concern.

    This is no different from CPU design or any other noisy system. Transistors are not perfect and there is always error, so you need error correction. At a transistor level, CPUs are unreliable. At a systems level, they are clean and reliable.

    This is no different. The stochastic noisiness of individual agents can be mitigated with redundancy, constraints, and error correction at a systems level.
