  • Right, if we’re talking about “good” in regards to speed then you’re correct. But if we’re talking about discerning intent, seriously? I find it hard to believe you’re speaking in good faith and without bias yourself here. Disguising intent is the leading method to ‘jailbreak’ an LLM. Half the time at least, trolls are attempting to disguise their intent (with varying degrees of success). So that would be a solid failure at worst, or miss swaths of trolls at best.

    I don’t want to engage with someone like that either, but I care about not skipping over the people on the fringes of behavior, people who don’t just regurgitate an echo chamber. This task might not require 100% accuracy but I personally wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than 99.9%.

    I think using something like what we’ve been talking about is very very very far off in the future for me, if I were to ever do so at all. This conversation has made me realize that.



  • Not obvious. You’re right, there is no magic in this technology, and you clearly don’t understand how it works.

    There is not a single LLM currently available that is able to consistently provide a correct or workable solution when faced with a semi complex word problem that’s able to be contained in one paragraph. They may nail it on occasion but they cannot do it consistently. The “problem” of figuring out if someone is a bit eccentric, has poor social skills, is actively trolling, only trolls sometimes, or any combination of the above, is orders of magnitude higher than that. (edit:) To say an LLM is capable of that kind of logical determination is completely ignoring the evidence to the contrary.




  • I think you make a fair point here, partially. However, Marlboro could also advertise on snapchat if they wanted. Now there’s no doubt something like that would catch massive eyes, landing them in hot enough water to probably change the law around it. If Marlboro leadership saw Juul as a threat, that would make sense to do. They lose a pittance in advertising and court fees, and cut off a competitor from an advertising stream.

    But they’re not a threat, they’re an asset. Altria, the parent company of Philip Morris and NJOY, has a 35% stake in Juul. Altria is incentivized to keep their piles of shit separate.

    Vaping has the potential to be healthier than cigarettes, socially and physically. But not when it’s almost entirely controlled by companies that have a history of marketing to children. It’s physically healthier sure, but only 107 countries have laws regulating the age for vaping, vs 188 for cigarettes. The e-waste factor is also huge, something that a lot of people who vape choose to ignore and I wish they couldn’t. I vape myself, have for years, and it’s a shit state of affairs with how popular disposables are. But I don’t know what the realistic solution is. People are going to use tobacco products in a dystopia.
