Also unfortunately reminiscent of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kincora_Boys%27_Home

We’ve noticed that the name creates unintended associations for some users, especially in English, and that’s not what we want to emphasize going forward.

We’re actively discussing a rebrand to better reflect the creative and model-focused direction of the product.

This kind of baby and bathwater argument could as well be used to ban writing altogether!

At risk of Godwinisation, there's a very obvious example.

As we are recently seeing, it was only paused temporarily.

Wouldn't exactly call that a grassroots effort, though...

> you nonce. Who was it that said, "every accusation is confession in disguise."

Hmm.

I don't need to point out the irony that pointing out the flaw in my post is itself a kind of accusation too although I just have.

Thought it was going to be about Freedom Bookshop in Angel Alley, Whitechapel, but thankfully that seems to be alive and well[0]!

Being "the oldest and largest specialist anarchist bookshop in Britain" without succumbing to internecine bickering and factionalisation is pretty darn radical, I would have thought.

I also thought this would be about Freedom, the title is really a bit misleading.

"Hallucination" is a euphemism at best, and the implication it carries that LLMs correctly perceive (meaning) when they are not hallucinating is fallacious and disinforming.

The reification of counterfactual outputs which are otherwise indistinguishable from the remainder of LLM production etiologically is a better candidate for the label "hallucination" IMO.

Then they should host the meetings on irc! (not completely kidding.)

Or maybe there's an opportunity for someone to create an "interop environment" where AIs representing diverse persons' agendas within an organisation can come together and agree on outcomes and goals on behalf of their sponsors (maybe not completely serious, but ...)

Yeah, I know TFA is just notetaking but that shouldn't stop us from thinking ahead, right? The possibilities for cost-cutting in middle management are spectacular!

Conspiracists were already on to this in 2023[0]. It's such ripe pickings that if the tick explosion pans out a concomitant explosion in info pollution seems inevitable.

Obviously nothing but the absolute best from our elected official.

The screenshots are quite something.

Maybe one way to think of this is the chatbot and a susceptible user stochastically spiralling each other into a folie à deux[0] together?
