think very carefully on this because I’m not sure pretending to not understand what I’m asking is working out for you
no but you’re about to be talking to a defed unless you stop this all caps fake outrage shit. should I do you the favor of deleting the garbage post you just made so you can give it another go?
Finally, just because I included an LLM summary of the comment history in the public modlog, it does not logically follow that the ban occurred because of the LLM summary. It simply happened to correspond very well to my own manual review
yeah, it’s ok because the LLM wasn’t hooked up directly to the ban API, you just used it systemically to not do the only fucking thing you’re supposed to be doing as a moderator
this human in loop shit is how corporations absolve themselves of responsibility for decisions taken purely on the word of an LLM. it lets them fire a worker instead of an executive. you’re sure this is the route you want to go?
you thought I’d be ok with this shit because it was done with an allegedly open source model? I’m so glad you ignored all our posts about unchecked algorithmic bias and the fucking rotten origins of every open source model (hint: you don’t have the resources to train a model because you aren’t a billion-dollar company and that’s by design) because moderating your instances appropriately was ooh just too haard
my guy what in the fuck are we doing here? more to the point what are you doing here?
no it’s fine you see, they fed the posts in question to a homegrown open source LLM (still trained on plagiarized sources by a gigantic corporation as part of an extremely obvious market domination plan) and only pretended to feed a ton of posts to chatgpt as a joke that nobody laughed at
moderator’s note to anyone who came here to make the above point in earnest: lol
it’s so fucking funny to me that “do not lie do not hallucinate” is still one of the prompt incantations the boosters use because they get really embarrassed when you make fun of them for it
thank you! I hear a rumor that my fiber might be repaired tomorrow but I’m not sure if I should trust it
(also for posterity: all evidence points to my fiber being damaged by an animal or a human with the mechanical dexterity of an animal, I’m fairly sure it’s not particularly targeted sabotage)
if for whatever reason you need example text of the mid phases of someone being driven out of their fucking mind by a chatbot, the above will do nicely
adding to the confusion, the shithead who replied with “thanks, blocked” is, I’m fairly certain, already banned from our instance
anyway yeah the lemmy/mastodon interop has many sharp edges
oxy is a mastodon user who follows David so they’re most likely telling the AI startups in question to GTFO and lemmy has kindly reinterpreted that as a tag
however,
Why are people hating on / blocking dgerard?
let’s go down the list! depending on the subculture, you’re blocking dgerard because:
- you’re a Scientologist and interacting with dgerard will cost you your Operating Thetan rank
- you’re a Rationalist and have read the Lightcone Infrastructure memo about how dgerard is the devil, beating out all other contenders for most evil being on the earth
- you’re a cryptocurrency gambler and you think dgerard’s critiques lost you money
- you run an AI startup and you think dgerard’s critiques lost you money
- you’re on the far right and dgerard won’t let you edit misinformation straight into Wikipedia
there are more, we can go deeper
here’s the summary table that the article pulled its numbers from
here’s a specific question regarding AI
assume I know and understand that the LLM did not literally do the banning
maybe there’s a large body of existing research on how even human in the loop systems confirm and worsen biases? maybe it’s a bit obvious when you go through the process the moderator took to get to their decisions in your head? slowly now, maybe you’ll get there
