They are opting you in by default. Very cool.

Maybe a little extreme but I love it.

A high-fidelity simulation of a Russian with damage to Broca's area, perhaps.

The major LLMs as implemented are basically role-playing programs. The default role is something like "helpful chatbot" so if you tell an LLM "do whatever you feel like on your own" it will simply use its weights to determine "what would a helpful chatbot do and say in this scenario?"

There's some work on using phone accelerometer data as a "proof of human," e.g. "move your phone in a figure eight," which I guess machines can't quite do in a human enough way yet.

Yeah, I think "pay to enter" or maybe "pay to be able to post" is ultimately going to be the solution. Then we'll have the paid "gated" social networks, filled with mostly humans, and the free ones will all be bot-swarmed wastelands.

Wonder if they used AI to write it. "We don't just [x]. We [y]" strikes again.

Even so, "Daddy needs a new yacht" might sound too insensitive.

Ah, a fellow 1984 release.

I'm pretty nostalgic for the 90s. Maybe everyone who had at least a halfway-decent childhood feels that way about their kid years, though.

I've been using Gemini a couple months and haven't noticed it pushing Google products at all.

I did ask it some scientific questions about gemstones and it seemed to want me to buy sapphires, lol. Sorry, Google, that's outside my budget.

Interesting that "recruitment" happens right after age of consent is reached. I guess eighteen year olds have some special intellectual quality that a twenty year old would lack?

Get Alex Karp out there promoting autonomous weapons, too, if you want the ultimate trifecta.

Meaning what? That true enlightenment is to affirm openly all your likes and dislikes with no care for what anyone else thinks of them?
