I saw this linked in the weekly thread and thought it was about Godot at first, but I thought that was just me. Didn't expect to see 90% of the people here thought the same thing lol
edit: oh man, some of those comments. I still get culture shock from true believers, I forgot this probably got some attention on the orange site
Hidden horses is too good of a phrase to leave buried here
We lost 'Mechanical Turk' as a descriptor for AI because it's literally the name of the service they use for labeling training data. 'Actually Indians' is still on the table.

Time for another round of Rothschild nutso's to come around now that ChatGPT can't say one of their names.
At first I was thinking, you know, if this was because of the GDPR's right to be forgotten laws or something that might be a nice precedent. I would love to see a bunch of people hit AI companies with GDPR complaints and have them actually do something instead of denying their consent-violator-at-scale machine has any PII in it.
But honestly it's probably just because he has money
I think Sam Altman's sister accused him of doing this to her name awhile ago too (semi-recent example). I don't think she was on a "don't generate these words ever" blacklist, but it seemed like she was erased from the training data and would only come up after a web search.
RationalWiki really hits that sweetspot where everybody hates it and you know that means it's doing something right:
From Prolewiki:
RationalWiki is an online encyclopedia created in 2007. Although it was created to debunk Conservapedia and Christian fundamentalism,[1] it is also very liberal and promotes anti-communist propaganda. It spreads imperialist lies and about socialist states including the USSR[2] and Korea[3] while uncritically promoting narratives from the CIA and U.S. State Department.
From Conservapedia:
RationalWiki.org is largely a pro-SJW atheists website.
[ . . . ]
RationalWikians have become very angry and have displayed such behavior as using profanity and angrily typing in all cap letters when their ideas are questioned by others and/or concern trolls (see: Atheism and intolerance and Atheism and anger and Atheism and dogmatism and Atheism and profanity).[33]
From WikiSpooks (with RationalWiki's invitation for anyone to collaborate highlighted with an emotionally vulnerable red box for emphasis):
Although inviting readers to "register and engage in constructive dialogue", RationalWiki appears not to welcome essays critical of RationalWiki[3] or of certain official narratives. For example, it is dismissive of the Journal of 9/11 Studies, terming it, as of 2017, it a "peer- crank-reviewed, online, open source pseudojournal".[4]
And a little bonus:
My site questions Darwinism but that's become quite mainstream. But my rationalwiki page has over 20 references to me being a creationist, and is tagged "pseudoscience." Untrue
I don't think the main concern is with the license. I'm more worried about the lack of an open governance and Redis priorizing their functionality at the expense of others. An example is client side caching in redis-py, https://github.com/redis/redis-py/blob/3d45064bb5d0b60d0d33360edff2697297303130/redis/connection.py#L792. I've tested it and it works just fine on valkey 7.2, but there is a gate that checks if it's not Redis and throws an exception. I think this is the behavior that might spread.
Jesus, that's nasty
That kind of reminds me of medical implant hacks. I think they're in a similar spot where we're just hoping no one is enough of an asshole to try it in public.
Like pacemaker vulnerabilities: https://www.engadget.com/2017-04-21-pacemaker-security-is-terrifying.html

wow I wonder how you came to that conclusion when the answers are written like a Fallout 4 dialogue tree
I've seen people defend these weird things as being 'coping mechanisms.' What kind of coping mechanism tells you to commit suicide (in like, at least two different cases I can think of off the top of my head) and tries to groom you.
Hi, guys. My name is Roy. And for the most evil invention in the world contest, I invented a child molesting robot. It is a robot designed to molest children.
You see, it's powered by solar rechargeable fuel cells and it costs pennies to manufacture. It can theoretically molest twice as many children as a human molester in, quite frankly, half the time.
At least The Rock's child molesting robot didn't require dedicated nuclear power plants
One of my favorite meme templates for all the text and images you can shove into it, but trying to explain why you have one saved on your desktop just makes you look like the Time Cube guy
I love the word cloud on the side. What is 6G doing there
I'm not super familiar with Lobsters but I love how they represent bans: https://lobste.rs/~SuddenBraveblock
