It's 2024, right after the election, the only description that fits is "sad, tired, and grieving".

They want to be victims, to justify the violence they're going to do whether they get justification or not.

Well, those books aren't actually meant for the public to buy. They're for laundering money. A senator can do one of those 10K$/plate fundraisers and give everybody a gift bag that contains one... after the campaign bought the books, and the politician got a cut.
They don't even write the books.

They're kinda infamously bad at that.

I read it. I've since come to the conclusion that anyone who thinks it is a work of genius shouldn't be allowed to order dinner without supervision, much less military assets.
It's remedial stuff for idiot nobles.
For a fash to follow it, they'd have to accept things they don't like.

It's sometimes a quite annoying realization, because sometimes, there's some really top-tier phrases I wish I could keep. But... well, clever phrasing that is wrong kinda fails at "clever".

Techbros always refusing to understand *anything* and still really confident of the claims they rectally extract.
I read about how they work when they came out. The data wasn't hidden. But I guess reading's not something he does.

I feel like a lot of the prestige of the mythos kinda leaked out (heh) through the War Thunder forums needing a, like, "days without incident" counter.

They have been lying about everything since the dawn of time. They don't protect anybody... they just say they do as an excuse to enslave and abuse.
They like guns because they love the power of life and death in their hands. Never to shoot at anyone actually *armed*.

Newsom clearly ain't writing those himself. Which isn't technically a problem, because I want someone who hires smart people to do the job for them.
No matter who he hires tho, he's still the guy who writes policy to make people homeless, and helps cops rob them for being homeless. Can't fix that.

Turns out, bigots ain't good people. They always knew what they were doing, and that it was to harm people and get away with it... everything they do is about harming and owning people and getting away with it. And lying about it so it doesn't sound bad. Until they feel safe enough to speak truth.

Or if its grammar rules, RNG, or typos in the input have made the output change the meaning.
Grandma buying a discount turkey and selling the meat at her deli, plus a term from the practice of buying homes to sell at profit, can lead to grandma flipping the bird at her customers.

You can sneak a pattern into the assignment. Use the same phrase 3-4 times or have multiple lines start with duplicating the last word of the previous line. Typos humans tend to ignore, but the bot *can't*.
Or quiz the human. "You said here," [quote that is or is not in their paper] "Elaborate."

www.smbc-comics.com/comic/prompt read a fun solution to that the other day. Just an instruction in white text on white background to catch the chatbots.
But there are subtler attacks. Because it's predictive text, and it's mimicking patterns and grammar to guess at the next word?

Yeah, my psychiatrist's office sent the pharmacy a script for an *antibiotic* the same week I first read about that.
It also doubled my dose of a med I *did* take.
They didn't *say* what happened, but it did not happen again, and it sounded like I was not alone.

... those works would be in the public domain. They already exist. Many are so old they predate some forms of soil... literally (ahem) older than dirt.

They just want the output, and don't actually enjoy writing or reading.
They like a car because of where it *might* take them. Despite never actually going there. So they never look up how many tires it should have, but boy are they proud of the turn signals!

Yeah, that goes for a lot of scams. Every cult leader starts out a huckster, but winds up a true believer. Because there's a limit on how much you can lie without forgetting why you're doing it and just... trusting that you must know what you're talking about.
You are always your final mark.

There's a joke, that we'd develop AI that proves a machine can have a rich inner experience...
Instead, we proved that techbros... don't.

And it's a safe bet, really. Hell, every instance of people implementing "powered by AI" when they add in a chatbot is proof that people making decisions do not *test* anything, and do not know good output from bad.

The chatbot merchants are counting on CEOs not understanding philosophy, business, liability, programming, AI, etc... to sell them something that would take our whole species multiple lifespans to create, and more energy than the planet produces.

You have to build a complex thing nobody's made before. And then you'd have to train it to do things that you cannot automate testing of.
We have peer-review for science papers for a reason. It isn't *possible* to automate that. Not "it's hard", not "it's expensive"... truth doesn't work that way.
