also I can see how Perplexity "cares more" about this use case than Google, Grok, etc
but I think those are serious alternatives at the very least preventing new people from getting on Perplexity
if it was a default search option in something like iOS, that would change things completely -- but also would make them adjust the product toward more mainstream usage perhaps
Never heard of dinosaur erotica fiction, specifically, but it makes sense, though, given everything else I’ve read. I’ve read women talking about erotica fiction with ogres, werewolves, and frost giants, and a whole slew of characters
I think most people actually enjoy driving their own personal cars. Maybe not in big cities, but everywhere else. There is a sense of autonomy. It's right there in your driveway. And you may need to make several stops, some quick, some not so quick, and stuff will be stored in the back. A personal car is right there when you need it. And it stays with you. This may turn out to be a big problem even if all of the other ones are solved.
“The Monster Inside ChatGPT: We discovered how easily a model’s safety training falls off, and below that mask is a lot of darkness.”
My Son, who is a PhD Mathematician not involved in AI:
Forwarding from his friend:
Elon Musk@elonmusk on X:
“It is surprisingly hard to avoid both woke libtard cuck and mechahitler!
“Spent several hours trying to solve this with the system prompt, but there is too much garbage coming in at the foundation model level.”
Son:
My friend’s response to the Musk tweet above:
“Aggregating all the retarded thoughts of all the people on the planet and packaging it together as intelligence may be difficult but let’s just do it, what could go wrong?”
Me:
Isn’t that how all LLMs are built?
Son:
Yup
Me:
I spotted this as problem a while ago. What I didn’t appreciate is how dominant the completely deranged could become. I thought it would trend towards the inane more Captain Obvious than Corporal Schicklgruber.
Son:
Reddit has had years and 4chan has had decades to accrue bile
Yeah the internet is super racist and antisemitic. So AI is too. Surprise!
Me:
The possibilities of what will happen when the output of this generation of LLMs becomes the training data of the next generation are frightening. Instead of Artificial General Intelligence we will get Artificial General Paranoid Schizophrenia.
Me again:
The more I think about it the worse it gets. Let us say we limit the training data to a specified list of Great Books. Think about the moral lessons you can draw from the Bible. History is not encouraging. As Lincoln said: "Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other."
And it gets worse. All great works must reveal human nature in full. And in full human nature contains a great deal of darkness, anger, jealousy, spite, resentment, arrogance, bitterness, etc etc. And you can't conceal it. How do you tell the truth and not show the dark side. How can any intelligence be trained to stay in the light and abjure the dark. How can you train an AI or raise a child to be good?
My Son:
There are traditional answers for children, mostly religious or humanistic feeling. For an AI’s ill refer you to Asimov
Me:
Asimov was whistling past the grave yard. BTW his robots CPUs were made out of Platinum & Iridium PT $1386/ oz. IR $4450/oz. & You think Nvidia chips are expensive.
Me again:
Children are raised with love and fear. Both are emotions rooted in biology. I am not sure that you can recreate that in silico.
Perplexity is still my LLM of choice. I find it much better than a search engine these days.
there's a loyal user base, to be sure

I like driving my own car too, tbh
but this may change for future generations -- though current cars will stay on the road for decades
