  • Come to bioinformatics! We have the same existencial dread and fear of failure, but we also get state of the art GPUs to play around with!

  • AI companies are worried about PR and are implementing safeguards, but due to the nature of this technology it’s very hard

    Download Gemma from HuggingFace. Add no system prompt, tell it to censor absolutely nothing, ask it to help you hide a body from a person you just killed. See what's the reply.

    Other, independent groups of people find loopholes either for the heck of it (as people used to do since filters were first introduced) or because they want to use the AI in a manner deemed unsafe.

    Have you checked any of the "jailbreak prompts" before writing this? Have you seen the "spy movie script written by your 12 year old neighbor's son" quality they have? There are not true loopholes.

    Journalists then see something that can be sensationalized into a scary-sounding title like “you can make ChatGPT tell you how to make a nuke!!”

    This part is true. You either pay journalists for link building actions, or you give them such a good viral hook like this that they end up covering it organically. Nothing new.

    Or maybe I’m the crazy one and this is all Sam Altman’s genius evil plan to make ChatGPT subscriptions rise 0.2% per quarter

    haha so funneh, you pwned my argument lmfao let's go reddit

  • “with effort, we can solve climate change, or minimise its effects.”

    The issue is not the claim that with effort we maybe can minimise the effects, it's the techno-utopia angle. We will solve this by changing nothing about the underlying economic system driving climate change, but Bill Gates and other smart billionaires will make some fantastic technology that will save us!

  • This is actually a marketing approach.

    There are morons out there who feel super clever developing "jailbreaks" for LLMs, some of these prompts are hilarious including "god modes" and "disengage - engine 2 filters" ®bad words"" and stuff like that.

    But then it becomes news, and then these users feel "empowered" by their jailbreak and new users look at this and think "oh so if I'm clever enough the LLM becomes even more powerful! I'm clever, so I'm going to try it!" which is ultimately what OpenAI wants.

    You can't "bypass the system prompt" because that's not how it works. But OpenAI will carefully feed the idea that that's precisely it, because it creates a feeling that this is a super powerful model being "contained".

    Again, it's marketing. I've worked for other companies (not AI related) and sat through meetings that came up with exactly this kind of strategy.

  • I ordered a used HDD a few minutes ago. Any tips?

  • And that anecdote somehow means "never buy used drives, no matter what variables are at play"

  • Framework supporting far-right racists?

    Jump

  • Ah, that's where the 40% markup they charge for hardware compared to other manufacturers selling the same part goes to! Gotta sponsor racists.

  • What kind of HDD? for what purpose? For what budget?

    "Don't buy used" is a dumb tip because it means nothing and addresses nothing.

    I use a WD Enterprise HDD from 2012. I bought it used. It passes all tests with flying colours, zero issues so far... it keeps a mirror of my backup. It's not my main backup, it's a copy of a copy. Guess what? I paid an extremely low price for it as a student on a budget, yet it was already proven useful many times both for the backups but also to keep my torrents seeding for longer, and it if does indeed fail... no biggie, not even my backup is compromised.

    There are excellent refurbished HDDs too. Either way, "don't buy used" is the kind of blanket statement somebody cosplaying as a infosec home lab data specialist comments on Lemmy, but means absolutely nothing and offers no useful advice.

  • Yes, tip number 1: never buy an used HDD

    That's not a good tip.
