Right, because all of us personally sent harrassing messages, death threats, etc.

See I don't doubt that he received harrassment, hell I can even believe he got death threats. And that really sucks, I'm sorry he experienced that.

Isn't it convenient how there are no receipts of them though? Or any trace of the supposed dude egging people on to do it? It's a diversion tactic that's honestly becoming quite old.

    The random strikes me as curious too. I don't see the point in doing (100 - 1 + 1), you could express a random number between 1 and 100 in a simpler manner. Then he gets another random number and reuses that three times, for whatever reason.

    Then again, none of his other decisions make much sense to me so why would this?

    I have received a constant stream of harassing messages, death threats, and threats of doxxing over DM, Matrix, Github, and Codeberg. All of it instigated and eggged on by another instance's top admin.

    I'm getting pretty sick of this kind of claim. Like, do I believe he's been harassed? Yeah, that seems likely. Death threats? That's definitely possible. What I take issue with is the way it's brought up.

    He frames that it's a campaign run by a particular individual targeting him, but there are no receipts. He's using it as a shield against critique, shutting down any discussion around this by pointing at something and screaming about how he's a big victim here.

    What do you do as someone working in the ER when something like this happens? Do you report it somewhere? Or do you just accept it like, "Oh, Gregnold the squirrel fucker is back? We have to keep sewing his penis back on but this is like the fourth time and it's getting pretty tattered now."

    Dunning–Kruger machines in full spin.

    I work as a software developer, with most of my work focused on development for an iron mine operation. It's a lot of moving pieces, loads of software that needs to cooperate, and on top of that the workers that do the actual work develop their own workflows.

    We develop stuff in tandem with the workers as much as possible, as in, we gather what they need and tailor the software to fit their workflows. These workflows change over time though, and decisions cemented in software 20 years ago no longer applies to modern workflows.

    Hell, last week I spent a significant amount of time setting up a digital area for them to load ore onto because the software wouldn't cooperate any other way, and even then I had to troubleshoot why this other piece of software wouldn't load data from it.

    There are so many different experts in these mines, and an LLM couldn't do any one of their jobs. It's so domain specific, and even specific to the location they work in, and that knowledge is possessed solely by the workers that are doing the work. ChatGPT knows fuck all.

    This is fair. The next step is to litigate the companies for the harms they cause.

    There's a whole drove of people now that have gotten harmed, murdered, and committed suicide because of the psychological harm that these models cause.

    Were it a car with some kind of manufacturing defect, there'd be recalls and you wouldn't be able to sell ones with the fault. If it was salad contaminated with bacteria, that'd be recalled and the entire batch would be destroyed. We're holding salad to a higher standard than technology that people are pushing to integrate deeply into society; into classrooms to help educate children, into medical settings to help organise journals and expedite the work of medical staff, into law... the list goes on.

    All the models do this, and it causes real harm to people, but other than individual families and such litigating them, no state has stepped in to protect its citizens.

    Damn, this looks really complete. I've tried a bunch of clients, my go-to being Amperfy, but I'm also quite fond of Cadence. Going to keep trying this for a bit.

    My only question is like, why does it have Audible's colour scheme? Particularly some of the icons make it really look like Audible.

    This is also a very interesting spelling of ADO.
