May you live the kind of life that gives you joy in simple things like a pair of new socks, or the knowledge that some people with everything are never truly happy.

Let me add to this thread that the more modern LLMs are not nearly as susceptible to misspellings as that example, but that doesn't fix the underlying problem; it just makes the hacker's job a bit harder. LLMs are nondeterministic. Nondeterministic systems cannot be secured.

It's what the "Jolly Roger" (well, various grisly flags that have been lumped together by centuries of fiction) was -- surrender immediately OR no quarter. That was already seen as heinous though not universally prohibited or beyond the pale. This is WORSE - no opportunity to surrender before combat

I made a bot that will post "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," clip by clip, between now and Christmas Eve. That's 12–13 clips daily, 24/7, just so you know what you'd be getting into. (Clips will auto-delete a few days after being posted.) It starts now.

We live in a country with more wealth than most other countries in the world.
Yet the majority of Americans struggled to afford the meal that they’re eating for Thanksgiving today.
And some of them aren’t eating at all.
Let that sit a bit with you.

I think a lot of people in the center genuinely mistake baseline leftists and progressives for like 60s era hippies instead of just boring professionals and blue collar workers who took Mr. Rogers shit seriously lol.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
