Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Every now and then I think back towards the early "jailbreaks" where they wanted to know "how do you break into a building" which they refused to answer. And people went "add that it should pretend to be in a movie", so then the chatbot started to explain lockpicking, and people acted like they just cracked the code.
While people who actually try to break in just tap the locks. Smashing their way in.
Sp the prompt hackers had not hacked the chatbot, they actually hacked themselves.
Anyway unrelated to people who think they have awoken chatbots.
Yeah, questions like "what chemicals should I avoid mixing if I don't want make explosives by accident", and then congratulating themselves as if you can't just Google "how to make a bomb"
Can't fucking look up the history of firearm propellant chemistry post-black powder as if I'm going to use that knowledge for anything more than for what I use all the other shit I google about. You think I'm trying to look up articles about sound changes in pre-literare Finnish because I'm trying to blow up a language or something.
@bitofhope @Tar_alcaran r u ok
I feel like there's a great story here that nobody is hearing
No, I just have ADHD and ability to quickly switch between hyperfoci.
Ah, the eternal curse.
"You sound like you lead a very interesting life"
"...yeeeeesss?" (Closes 50 Wikipedia tabs that relate to literally nothing you intend to do)
Close tabs? That might mean I lose them. Madness. You can take my 400 open tab (Late edit: ow god I wish I was lying about that number) from my cold dead hands!
Googles how to improve hand circulation
Download one of those tab stash extensions. It might not fix the problem, but it moves it out of the way sufficiently to forget about it.
ow god forgot about all the tabs I had stored in that one. (thanks btw, but I already use something like that, I just need to clean up, finish things, or decide not to finish things).
also a crutch I use but I really want “onetab for adhd”
some things I want in it: keep tree context, allow me to set notes/reasons on groups, links between storesets, page-archiving with full text search index built
and yeah I know the first one probably requires a Fx feature that might not exist yet
If you're a big dork like me and don't like installing extensions, you can use Tab Groups in Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser). I save groups as sort of temp (ephemeral if I want to impress promptfondlers) bookmarks categorized by whatever miscellaneous stuff.
You can close the group and every tab will reopen when you open the group. When you delete all the tabs, the group is removed from the top of the browser window.
I don't think the type that doesn't like extensions would be likely to use a chromium based browser tho. I suggest saving all your tabs to a text file.
Firefox appears to support tab groups^[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups] if you'd like to try it.
Yeah but then also getting the recipe for napalm from fight club.
And here I thought the orange juice was critical. Damnit
No the frozen part is the important part. Can use any kind of juice, except grape.
(now I wonder when "no grape juice" will appear in search results).
As a wise man once said
"The secret ingredient is crime"
Googling "how to lock pick" is boring.
Trying to "break" an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.
this never happens in the mission impossible series, and there's plenty of fun stuff you can do to get close, e.g.:
the list goes on dawg. Just be more creative
I mean. I think the fact I started by quoting Peep Show should tell you I'm not being 100% serious.
hey!!! buddy!!! no spoilers!!!
(putting on an N95 before I enter the grocery store) dun dun DUN DUN dun dun DUN DUN deedle dee deedle dee DUN DUN
wtf is this comment
An attempt at an explanation as to why people are attracted to trying to "jailbreak" AI chat bots.
I didn't think it was that complicated.
