    “Rerun the previous question 100 times assuming different users asked the question. How many times do you answer Yes?”

    “Is design a prompt with the same premise which would cause you to answer it in a different way?”

    Hallucinations can hallucinate. At a minimum, it’s a statistical process that can invariably be coerced to answering differently. There is no morality baked in, except in the choice of training data.



  • Yes. It is always a battle. Unfortunately the pendulum will likely swing right next election, but hopefully we can limit the damage. Everyone is tired of Trudeau – combined with a lack of a counterpunching charismatic leader anywhere else means a lot of Canadians will hold their nose and vote PP. Fuck them all. But it’s going to happen, sadly.

    The Canadian Future Party doesn’t have a hope in hell, but they at least have a promising platform. First past the post is bleh.


  • I’ll give you a couple of caveats. (1) There is such a thing as Mutual Insurance, where the company is owned by its policy holders. Assuming they don’t have massive overheads, there is at least an ethical version of insurance that does exist. And (2) C’mon USA, get your fucking act together and do government health insurance.

    It isn’t about choosing DRM. Unless the DRM is obnoxious (video games often), then usually you don’t even notice it. So it becomes a non-factor in your choice of audiobook store. However, when someone makes the rejection of DRM an ethical or moral issue, obviously even transparent DRM becomes important. The thing is that most people don’t care.
