    Well shit, that was fuckin’ interesting.

    Yes, AI is evil. So is facebook. But the engineering is still interesting.

      AI isn’t evil. Generative AI isn’t evil. AI has existed for 20+ years now, I studied it back in my uni days.

      Corporations, how they trained it, how they use it now, how they are willing to pave the planet to force it down our throats is evil.

      This is one of those things as tech people we have to come to terms with and understand. No technology is inherently good or evil, it’s what people do with it.

        That’s a weird way to agree, but ok.

        I’m not saying binary computing is the tool of the devil. Well, maybe Windows.

          I’ve met some people who actually believe that the technology itself is inherently evil lol

    I thought declaude would be like degoogle.

    Nope, turns out what they do is precisely the opposite. They try to remove those described markers. Real scummy.

      I’m against trying to “censor” LLMs, but yeah. What’s even the ostensible benevolent scenario for stripping invisible watermarking from Claude?

      I can’t think of one, playing devil’s advocate.

      It’s pretty scummy, indeed.

        I am against AI and LLMs but the reason is quite simple, a lot of modern writing is offical bullshit to get stuff approved. Research grants, medical therapy approval, offical work mail that has to sound professional, job applications (insofar that noone cares what you write, they want a standard template and pick a candidate along qualifications anyways.). All these texts cost a lot of time and it makes no difference if a human or some copy machine writes it. And tbh. were it not for all the disadvantages of modern LLMs i would use it for the exact same reason, because sitting at a grant application for two hours while others do it in 5min is fucking useless and exhausting.
