inconsistent escape parsing is kind of what i was talking about

icymi that high memorization is how people recovered the claude "soul document," the ethical guidelines baked-in during training. and imo part of why we see the anthropic models refuse to behave like grok/xai

inverse document frequency is the wrong tool for traversing and searching a natural language space. like, keyword spam doesn't let you triangulate a synonym based on related words, moods, or intent. or find an article based on the context of its publication rather than the exact words of its content

ah, off-by-one errored that one (and counted the calendar years and the not exact paper publishing date)

the llm inline completions were doa with aws codewhisperer and haven't gotten better since. i finally just had to turn them off in jetbrains when they snuck them in in an update

like, if i'm coding i know the domain and i don't need iffy inline completion lurking under the tab key

i saw someone say it's the shrinking-reactionary-minority instinct kicking in. so it's becoming more about identity and morality than anything else

also, and just saying, gpt-1 was nine years ago

it sounds a little like that journalism foil that the newspaper is accurate about everything except the thing you know about personally

capitulation journalism

it's one of those slogans a few people take too literally and it obscures the actual material goals of the movement

land back meaning let's fix the damage the government has done through its allotment schemes and blood quantum and broken treaties, yes

but maximalist land back that doesn't even stop to realize that natives we're real people and not mythical guardians of the land? no

but in the swiss cheese model, you can't help but put a lot of responsibility on the helicopter pilot who, well within their legal right, was taking a sightseeing tour and was flying at less than 100' AGL over some wildnerness terrain features (but below canyon rims). just wild, imho

the most unhinged takes are calling for basically every slack-liner in the country be rounded up and incarcerated for trespassing on sacred aviator space

the most reasonable takes are calling out the notam system for being obtuse. the notam was attached to a nearly-abandoned airfield and wouldn't show up in normal flight briefing views in most software

the hotter take version of this was going to be something like "you might be a terf if you think trans women who are into feminine silhouettes are weird and pervy"
