For both US and China models - what standard security checks and QaQc are you all doing? We're running small gamuts to test for unsolicited jailbreaks (model jailbreaks you) and incorrect records (Fake Accuracy - as Easter Egg or common thread) meaning falsified logic or information cooked in by the developers, rather than the training data speaking for itself

Such bad faith here.. Rip off and then caught (inevitable, because most on HN likely love the original), then backpedal like crazy when called out

They once asked me if they could buy mushrooms from me, at a gig they played for a friend's art night.. I was not able to help them out

"(I’ve got a song still stuck in my head from a Canadian indie band that made its way onto my iPod via via and I’ve done all the searching in the world for the lyrics I remember and have never found the band. I love this that I’ve never found them!)"

Try the HN hive mind! Can you remember a year, +/-?

I'm hoping it will turn out to be Metric or The Murder Plans or The Constantines or.... Some other great 2000s Canadian indie act I can bond with a stranger over :D

Same - I can sense the value here and I can see how I can transfer some of the ideas to my team (based on the image), but the volume of text diarrhea made me realise "this person took the lazy way out and didn't create something for their audience". I stopped reading at second paragraph.

What I mean to say is that AI ghost writing is fine (I see the comment by the author). Deciding not to read poorly written content is also fine (and there's a reason why writing style has been discussed as long as the printed page has existed).

With the speed at which HN readers can identify mass produced, AI-generated word salad, it is insightful to look at a what users aren't able to stand back from their outputs and view them from the intended audience perspective

Same. I was excited for a Pixel (assuming a much better Android experience) but had same experience as you

Careful, you'll just make the output generators harder to spot! Www We need to keep their 'Tells' hidden from them..

Definitely agree. If you look at comments posted in places like Slashdot - is is basically ruined forever (and at one time it was quite excellent for real comments, from real experts and experienced people)

Actually why is nobody in Cali just trying to join Canada - would be better for everyone in terms of more similar culture and values. Weird that it isn't discussed more

Similar for me. I asked for a retreat in Lima, Peru, and got one low star option in Lima and then places in Ohio, Mexico and Colombia... ChatGPT got it on first try
