Ah yes, the classic open source guy stance of “you get to praise me publicly but direct criticism or problems to [over there]”

PR for AI slop generated DWARF support for ocaml. Expectation: doesn’t work

Reality: replicates existing support from another project including attribution to the author.

Claims to be against politics in the workplace, takes down rightwing websites anyway

This might be one of those “careful what you wish for” scenarios. The neutral outcome might well be that they generate dialog with training data from Scots Wikipedia. Or Scots Grokipedia I guess

but the WMF hasn't gotten the message, saying that the project has been "paused". It sounds like they plan to push it through regardless.

Classic “Yes” / “ask me later”. You hate to see it.

Got the pointer to this from Allison Parrish who says it better than I could:

it's a very compelling paper, with a super clever methodology, and (i'm paraphrasing/extrapolating) shows that "alignment" strategies like RLHF only work to ensure that it never seems like a white person is saying something overtly racist, rather than addressing the actual prejudice baked into the model.

School student tells AI to put 20 other students’ faces on nude pictures, shares them in chat; it takes months for anyone including the school administrators to act because of some extremely, uh, dubious loophole.

If someone does that in photoshop, it’s a crime; if they do it in AI pretending to be photoshop, it’s somehow not. Gotta love this legal system’s focus on minor technicalities rather than the harm done.

They have Nik Suresh (the author) on, as well as Robert Evans. I haven’t listened to it all yet, but it’s fun so far.

A: “Why are you knitting so fast? You in a rush?” B: “I’m almost out of yarn, gotta get this sweater done before it runs out”

Whoever it is that’s going to build those machines that scare us so much, we will find him. And we will fund him.

Nix project: ban? What ban? (discourse.nixos.org)

They invited that guy back. I do have to admit, I admire his inability to read a room.

Maybe when babies don’t have to be squeezed out a way too small bony orifice at great risk to the orifice-bearer, women will finally get to be people in his eyes.
