> The Constitution of the United States was a layman's document, not a lawyer's contract. https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/address-constituti...

The Supreme Court is not the ultimate decider of what the layman's document means. It was wrong when it decided, for instance, Plessy v. Ferguson. The law that the Court upheld patently violated the Fourteenth Amendment and was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court was simply wrong.


It can both be wrong and the ultimate decider.


That doesn't make something Constitutional or not, especially when they choose to ignore extremely plain and direct language.


By definition, the Supreme Court does decide what is Constitutional. It doesn't decide what is right or moral, but it does, according to the Constitution, decide what laws conform to the Constitution.


That is their job, yes. But they don't always do their job, especially in a compromised government. Let's not pretend that Trump didn't stack the courts.


... yes, that's the complaint. The prompt engineering they did made it spew neo-Nazi vitriol. They either did not adequately test it beforehand and didn't know what would happen, or they did test and knew the outcome—either way, it's bad.



Tay (allegedly) learned from repeated interaction with users; the current generation of LLMs can't do that. It's trained once and then that's it.


Do you think that Tay's user-interactions were novel or perhaps race-based hatred is a consistent/persistent human garbage that made it into the corpus used to train LLMs?

We're literally trying to shove as much data as possible into these things afterall.

What I'm implying is that you think you made a point, but you didn't.


It was an interesting demonstration of the politically-incorrect-to-Nazi pipeline though.

I’m going to say that is also bad. Hot take?


The big digital music stores are DRM-free these days (iTunes and Amazon both are). There's also Qobuz if you want to avoid the tech giants (though most of your money ends up going to record labels, so does it really matter?).


Four characters counting the pound sign.


It takes fewer keypresses to refer to it simply as #, which is worth doing as its name is locale dependent.


The Verge has been publishing non-tech related stories for ages. Technology still seems to be their main focus, but this isn't new.


the verge has always identified themselves as reporting on the intersection of tech and culture. sometimes that swings more towards culture than tech, but this feels completely outside technology.


They did not have "every right to remove him." As the article you linked says, Abrego Garcia was specifically granted a withholding of removal order.


To only one specific country. Not in general.


A beanbag is a chair? Perhaps a chair should be something on which one can comfortably sit without breaking that has a back and four legs. I suppose then a horse would be a chair.


In my case, no small fraction of the traffic was from OpenAI and Anthropic. There were also other user agents that literally said "AI".


> He straight-up ate someone else's salad?

... no, it's clearly a joke.


Soulver has indeed been doing this without large language models (so far as I know) for many years: https://soulver.app/
