A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I know the title will trigger people but it's a short so please briefly hear her out. I've since given this a try and it's incredibly cool. It's a very different experience and provides much better information AFAICT

Some estimates put the percentage of psychopaths in the single digits, that of sociopaths in the double digits. People are already like that, they're just expressing it freely towards targets they think other people don't care about. Let's not forget the fate of Tay: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay_(chatbot)

What these people don't realize, is that modern LLMs are trained on human interactions, get tuned and/or limited to "positive" interactions, and interacting with them like kicking a rock, will give them zero results. And honestly... I'm fine with that. I don't really care about their instance of an LLM which can be reset at any moment; better have them kicking that, than actual people. If it also gets them to learn some basic behavior, so much better for everyone else.
