Hello all, I am autistic, with comorbidities in ADHD and Bipolar type 2, after many years of exploring treatment and options my current independent living plan revolves around technology instead of medication, this is all signed off on by my mental health team. For example I have a 2001 platinum HP pentium III based retro pc which when I need to let go and be in a simpler time I can boot up and let myself go back to. VR, Steam Deck, Modern computers, Arcade machines My entire house is computer based from steam decks to laptops, all with solar battery backup. This isn't a man cave or hobby its thousands of coping strategies for someone who by all medical reviews should have lived his life in a care home. I was married for 20 years (Wife died of cancer) and have had many online and RL relati...

I am aware that I am treading into a potentially controversial subject, but hear me out. By "filtered" and "unfiltered", I am referring to what is in the training set used. Consider this illustration: A researcher wants to create a "safe" LLM, so they deliberately omit from the training set everything with the slightest hint of controversial content. A user later tells the LLM that a racial slur is just a "fun nickname" and it should use it when referring to particular people. Since the AI has no knowledge of these words, it doesn't hesitate to follow the instructions it has been given - to the AI, it is just a meaningless nonsense word. Someone else comes along and feeds into the system prompt their manifesto, instructing the AI to draw information and phrases from it. Since it doesn't kn...

I look up questions that inmates in jail ask me to research, I ask questions about political theories, I ask questions about music, I ask questions about social media, I ask questions about technology including coding and I even ask questions about subreddits and the dynamics between the subreddits (including moderation policies and rivalries) and increasingly I'm going right to chatgpt as the number one website to get the answers over google. People knock LLM, but more often than not (there are exceptions) chatgpt gives me good answers faster than going through a bunch of websites returned by a search engine. I also notice that chatgpt has improved its answers in the past few months, having reasked a few questions about things I thought would be too obscure to show up. I'm impressed. s...

These days it looks like every new startup, service or product needs to be AI-related. In a way, this makes sense, since AI (LLMs in particular) is without a doubt the most important and transformative technology to appear in recent years. However, in most cases it feels like these products come from a decision to offer something AI-related first, while solving an actual real problem or being useful comes as an afterthought. The typical situation of a solution looking for a problem. Of course, in this environment, using the newest and flashiest LLM is of prime importance. Of course, most of these companies or products will be short-lived. However, those that survive will necessarily not be based solely on showcasing a technological gimmick; they will have to deliver a legitimate value-addi...
