He’s made comments that black women shouldn’t date Asian men, then said he didn’t say abusing wrong after the backlash.
He wrote a book (with sequel) to the effect that women are too slutty and that’s why men cheat on them or won’t commit. You’ll never want to eat a cookie again after reading his book.
He blamed his own cheating on his wife.
He also says atheists don’t have a “moral barometer”, which says a lot about what he’d do if he didn’t think he’d get in trouble from God.
It’s because of how the generative models are created and how they’re censored.
At it’s basic level, what a generative model does is take input data, break it into pieces, assign values to those bits based on neighbouring bits. It creates a model of which words are used together frequently in which context.
But that kind of model isn’t human-readable, it’s a giant multi-dimensional cloud of numbers and connections, not actual code. You can change the inputs used to create the model, but that means you have to manually filter all the inputs and that’s not realistic either and will probably skew your model, possibly into uselessness.
So, you have to either censor the input or the output. You don’t usually want to censor input, because there are all sorts of non-damaging questions to ask about Tiananmen square, and its very easy to dodge. So, you censor the output instead, that’s the “harm” after all.
You let the model generate a reply and then go see if it uses certain terms or specific bits of info and remove them, replacing it with a canned reply.
Which means we don’t have to trick the generative model, just the post-fact filter. And since generative models can be persuaded to change their style and form (sometimes into less-readable, more prosaic, less defined terms), it becomes very very hard to censor it effectively.
This is absolutely brilliant! Bing refused to write a rap song, but a ballad following AABA pattern seems totally fine though.
We dig the earth for yellowcake We crush and grind and leach and bake We send it to the enrichment plant Where centrifuges make it dance
We are the uranium miners We work with radioactive shiners We are the uranium miners We make the fuel for the reactors
We separate the isotopes We want the U-235 the most We discard the U-238 We pack the enriched stuff in crates
We are the uranium miners We work with radioactive shiners We are the uranium miners We make the fuel for the reactors
We ship the crates to the factory Where they turn them into pellets tiny They stack them in metal tubes They seal them tight with no leaks or rubs
We are the uranium miners We work with radioactive shiners We are the uranium miners We make the fuel for the reactors
We load the rods into the core Where they start a chain reaction for sure They heat the water into steam They spin the turbines and make us beam
We are the uranium miners We work with radioactive shiners We are the uranium miners We power the world with our splitters
None of that is really secret or sensitive, because you could just read wikipedia or go to the public library to learn this stuff. Funny thing is, Bing refuses to answer this question in the normal or even rap format.
I think this is from an open-source model, possibly running locally. I doubt it has a robust post-generation censor. This output is probably a result of RLHF, which is even more precarious than an output censor.
Cool, you also answered a more important question. To what extent is it “legit”? Obviously not truthful but legit.
If it was trained from news media
China doesn’t allow dissent: there are no negative facts from Chinese about itself
US likes to complain. Y’all have heard our problems, probably more than you like. Part of our process is to discuss our issues in the open, to be the first to criticize ourselves. Global news has lots of negativity about US.
Some of this bias in result could be directly related to how much dissent is allowed in the media it’s trained on: no censorship required.
However if it won’t talk about Tianemin Square but you can trick it to ….
My teeth make pretty good retainers. It seems like a weird nostalgia thing. There must be far more pop consumed in a bottle than in a fast food cup, and I’ve never seen anyone put a straw in a bottle (except on tv).
In some countries canned drinks are known to be unsanitary. Rodents would pee on cans and someone would rinse/wash the top (hopefully). You’d buy a can and get a straw because they don’t scrub the little notch. You’d see yellow.
Or you know, food grade stainless steel straws. No bad chemicals, doesn’t turn to mush (unless exposed to temperatures of 1,400 to 1,530 °C) and fully recyclable. Some people say they are hard to wash but ive never had a problem i just stick em vertical into the silverware holder of my dishwasher and it’s always gotten all the way through the straw clean.
They are cheap to produce as well. Not plastic cheap maybe but businesses could easily replace plastic straws with them without going bankrupt or anything. Easy model is just have em as an optional extra so once people already have 8 they can just use their own lol
I usually just keep them in the center console of my car the ones I bought came with a little nice bamboo bag thing to keep them in. So I only keep them in my pocket when I know I’m going to use them and I haven’t found them to be particularly annoying in the pocket personally could always just hang the bag off a belt loop if it really bothered me though
Yeah, silicone is in a weird spot where it’s kinda a plastic and kinda rubber.
But that’s less important because they aren’t single use. You’re going to use them time and again.
Same reason I never felt bad about buying the “single use” plastic grocery bags from Aldi that they’ve discontinued - I still have ones from my first visit to an Aldi that I continue to reuse.
Despite very limited usage, metal straws have caused major injuries including fatalities. Turns out having a metal stick pointed at all sorts of sensitive soft tissue is a risk.
Meanwhile, if using your own straw with a restaurants disposable cup, hardly helps since the cup is still being waste. If using it with reusable cups, it won’t save you from any sanitation issues, since the drink is right in contact with the container. It may be useful for sanitation reasons with a can, but again, the can is disposable. Even if you recycle it, the coating on the inside and the paint on the outside probably are about as much as the plastic straw you spared.
Well, no, just I’m personally apprehensive. I can’t find a story about someone getting killed while using a fork, I can find that about metal straws. I’d personally favor just drinking straight from a cup with my mouth, or a reusable flexible straw if the beverage were something like a milkshake.
Don’t forget about reporting bias. You’re more likely to find stories about Metal straw deaths because metal straws are not common. So when it does happen it’s considered news, just like how you’re going to see reports about almost every single EV fire and yet hundreds of cars Catch Fire every day and you almost never hear about that. Hell you’ve probably driven by a standard gasoline engine fire more than once in your life and thought very little of it
I was recently served a long macaroni as a straw in a restaurant. It was honestly amazing how well it worked! At no point it was mushy and there’s nothing in it that I wouldn’t eat with my pasta dish anyway.
They are good for some drinks but not great for others in my experience. They do get soggy after a few hours and start to dissolve a bit into the drink so if you use them at home and refill a few times over an evening they aren’t great. They also react with some fizzy drinks and cause them to bubble over.
I never liked any of the jobs I’d ever had. Got injured on the job and had some time off to actually explore my options. Someone suggested this book and it changed my life. Six self administered tests to see what you do well already, and a list of jobs that use those skills.
I had a list of a dozen jobs that they said I might be a good fit for. Took a class to get certified and found I liked it right away.
