wouldn't it make that much more dangerous?

Under this interpretation models themselves do not have copyright protection either

the fact that sometimes someone finds a way to workaround the rules doesn't make them a ""suggestion"" they are very solid, just not absolute

> No one is seriously going to leave GitHub because of reliability

had a discussion with the team yesterday, literally every one wants to leave and looking for the best alternative

in reality even the mention of a prohibition is enough to make the model reject that no matter what

i beg to differ, in an ideal world a system possibly is a binding law and high end models are starting to be really aligned to the exact system prompt. The instructions must be simple to follow, if you start doing complex rules it'll call apart, but I'll usually follow the stringer interpretation.

or completely deleting the app and use the browser version for desperation

Disagree with the conclusion, even without carefully curated context every high end LLM perform just as well, maybe with an extra detour. In contrast if even one of the learnings is not up to date or doesn't apply to the current situation you find yourself with a long detour or even a failure.

Yes, given a direction, they are pretty good at "fuzzing", trying out everything and eventually find something. Super useful, but it doesn't have the same level of precise targeting you could expect from a high end model.

Just go online rent a few servers, download K3, ablate it, run the thing, shut it down. Will probably cost a few hundreds bucks to ablate, but f* this non-sense paternalistic sh*.

I wish i had the time to do it and blog it, "in your face" kinda style.

there is a simpler way, make a complete mental model of the changes and ask questions to confirm your understanding. so much faster.

feeding an existing conversion with output and reasoning from model x to model y will have many side effects, most likely a degradation of perfomance and alignment. should be done at least within the same family and generation of models... I'm not a huge fan of routers

What's the point of "releasing it"? It only makes sense in the labs, and what would calling your APIs give "me" as a researcher, other than a baseline to beat? mah the model is real, but it feels 100% internal

Seriously ready to fully drop google emails and services, i'm using vivaldi + personal email for a while now, the migration was slow a bit painful but complete. Only the phone is still attached to play store and google, but i'm 100% ready to switch to the fully supported Chinese variant of ColorOS and flush Google into the toilet once and for all. But my next phone will 100% be a Sailfish again.
