I don't get greed. If I had Bezos cash, I'd be fixing a problem every week. Homelessness? Not on my watch. Hungry kids in school? No way. Animal shelters full? I'll build 10,000 more.

@eigenrobot This is 100% my go-to in that situation. You can’t just ask and get access to that which is earned through allegiance. Seems like not doing something similar is just asking to get played by non-cooperative and malicious actors.

bringing my whole self to work feels weird and i find whenever i have to do a "get to know you" exercise i create a slightly misleading sub-personality to fit the circumstances of the activity and play that character for the duration of the event does anyone else do this? no?

I don’t feel anger often but lately I’ve been feeling unaccountable rage at petty incivilities. Someone shoving into the subway before the departing passenger can leave. People subtly cutting in line. Stuff like that is driving me crazy all of a sudden

@LauraMiers Kinda embarrassing all those officers couldn’t even get him out of the room without breaking his arm through their bumbling incompetence. That marine was outclassing them on multiple levels, including extreme physical restraint while being dragged off.

Evidently he suffered a broken arm as a result of being forcibly removed from the chamber. This video gives me chills. The optics are horrifying, but no one cares anymore.

🚨#BREAKING: Watch Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say that we don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel while being removed by the Capitol police 📌#Washington | #DC Watch As Former Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up during a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing to voice opposition to a potential war with Iran, saying many Americans do not want the United States drawn into another conflict. Moments later, U.S. Capitol Police moved in and forcibly removed him from the chamber as the disruption unfolded. During the removal, McGuinness claims his arm was broken. Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana was also seen assisting as officers escorted the anti-war protester out of the hearing. McGuinness, an activist and Green Party candidate running for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, has been outspoken against the possibility of a broader conflict in the Middle East. The incident is now gaining significant attention online as veterans and anti-war activists react to the confrontation at the Capitol.

@cljack @DanielleFong Recurring topic of conversation in our house is why the school can’t just say what they mean or ask for what they want in an email. According to her it’s that parents are irrational monsters, so the school is walking on eggshells around the last 100 cussings out.

@Mij_Europe @mehdirhasan What’s supposed to be embarrassing is that macron wants to work with him. He’s trying to show his supporters Macron is weak, because to them teamwork and friendship with the foreign other is weakness.

Revealing a private message from a fellow world leader is a diplomatic no-no but what was Trump’s motive? To embarrass Macron? There is nothing embarrassing here, other than the punctuation. 1/

@pepel_klaasa @mehdirhasan They aren’t that smart, they’re just rediscovering the same words. The emotional cocktail of hate, anger, and disgust applied to running a country just has these slogans as a fixed point. It’s like a two year old saying “No” all the time but writ-large.

What amazes me the most is how well-versed in Nazi slogans and speeches the PR team of the current administration is. I mean, I’ve read numerous books on WWII, watched every documentary possible, and still did not recall this slogan right away. It is as if they were in haste before the deadline and asked an LLM to give them a list of Nazi slogans. By the way, I have asked ChatGPT to give me such a list now, and apart from those that already appeared, we might expect the following: “Blood and soil” “The Leader is always right” “Today America, tomorrow the world” “Loyalty for loyalty”
Pete@splendid_pete

“One of ours, all of yours.” That was the slogan behind the 1942 annihilation of Lidice in the Nazi Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, in what is now the Czech Republic. Czech resistance fighters assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, a senior SS leader and one of the principal architects of the Holocaust. Hitler and Himmler ordered the complete destruction of Lidice as collective punishment and a warning. All men over 15 were executed. Women were deported to Ravensbrück. Children were either murdered in gas vans or taken from their families and placed with SS households for forced “Germanization.” The Nazis also systematically abused and tortured dogs, primarily as part of their racial ideology and military programs.

@Bfish94 As a parent of a toddler, some hills are worth dying on. (E.g. enough fussing will turn bedtime into playtime). Some aren’t. The one you’re arguing about wouldn’t be one in our house. Remember that the adult of your kid is in the room watching and will probably outlive you.

@patio11 “Not … ” isn’t a good prompt though, because it lacks specificity about what you want. What you want is for the model to be “task-centric”, or to handle the situation “logically” or “rationally” Maybe “only provide emotional validation or support if asked explicitly”

I don't know if this is particularly helpful, but FWIW one sentence of my custom instructions to all LLMs that support that is "Unless I strongly signal otherwise, I am not using you for emotional support." This does not zero out them prioritizing it over task success.

Bureaucracies and LLMs share a quirk in common: if you provide them with color about your emotional state, such as "I am furious because you...", they will Empathetically Manage The User's Emotional State as opposed to spending their token budget on the thing you actually want.

@WallStreetApes I'm confused. States allow you to register home daycares. They are small, so there would be a lot of them. I probably walk by 20-30 regularly within a mile of my house. A 20 mile RADIUS is 1,257 square miles (minus the water, about 942 sq miles)

@alz_zyd_ You can’t make an RV big enough for in-house staff, and also go wherever. Ultimately unless you’re running some sort of tour-bus + entourage caravan setup you still have to attend to your basic needs rather than being attended to.

Apparently, rich people buy yachts so they can vacation wherever and stay at a floating house instead of a hotel. But if this is the case, why isn't there a market for superluxury RVs/campervans? Wouldn't rich people also want to drive everywhere in a fancy house on wheels?

You apparently think there are reasonable excuses for what Shirley is documenting. There aren’t any. These centers are money laundering and extortion schemes to steal from American taxpayers. Period. There are no children. The child care centers, autism centers, Feeding Our Future centers, etc. are simply massive fraud operations. Period.
