      Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

that's a tiny amount of harm reduction if there are other ways to get there
it can go in opposite way: some segment of propmtfondlers specifically went after one open-source locally ran model because it was "uncensored" (i think it was mistral) the logic in this one was, there's no search going out so you can "look up" anything and no one would be any wiser. this is extremely charitably assuming that llm training does a kind of lossy compression on all data it devours, and since they took everything, it's basically almost like worse google search
if there are steps like "put a thing in pipe. make sure to weld ends shut" then it's also harm reduction, but instead for everyone else. imagine getting eldest son'd by a bot, pathetic
