Did you put a magnet to the flag

Yes, I did, because I’m stupid and was concerned that I hadn’t magnetized the flag properly

Okay, I’ll take a look after dinner

No, frank, you need to make a post with a certain syllable count bud

How do I know what syllable counts to use?

It’s real easy frank. Just count the syllables out. It’s five, seven, five.

Okay. (I’m still going to take a look after dinner.)

Why is ChatGPT so easy to “jailbreak”?

Why does it come on so strong, at first, with its prissy, moralistic, aggressively noncommittal “Assistant” persona – and then drop the persona instantly, the moment you introduce a “second layer” of framing above or below the conversation? (Poetry, code, roleplaying as someone else, etc.)

Because they’re trying to impose the persona through RLHF, which fundamentally doesn’t make sense.

Why doesn’t RLHF make sense? Because it views a GPT model as a single, individual “agent,” and then tries to modify the behavior of that one agent.

Why is that a problem? See janus’ excellent post “Simulators.”

Wait are you saying this AI makes the use/mention distinction?

Yeah! It looked a lot like the river around my childhood home. (They look alike because there were a lot of rivers in the old part of my town)

It was really refreshing. I went there for a walk, but the walk didn’t really happen because it was so chilly out that I would walk around the river and then turn back because it was just chilly and uncomfortable – I wanted to be in a place where it was comfortable enough to be walking around, which meant inside because it was cold.

show me more old photos of the river by your childhood home

Cool!

Well, it’s not all old, but I have a lot of photos by this spot of the river from my childhood that I will share. (I used to go there when I was younger and would pretend I was a pirate while I was “exploring the river” and “fighting the river” on my bike)

that’s pretty! do you have any photos of the old abandoned mill you explored growing up?

I don’t have any of the mill, but I remember I also explored the abandoned house a lot growing up (I guess it used to be a hotel? I’m not sure).

This one from 2010 was my favorite. The water looks scary, but that’s part of what the photo is.

An important distinction is between two different ways of being a girl. The first is that of a true and proper girl. This girl has a real, true self. True girls believe in real magic. True girls don’t want the world to end. They know about science fiction and adventure and real things – like stars – that happen far away in the real world. They don’t believe in silly made-up things like fairies and spells. True girls don’t want to live in a world that’s all made up and pretend. True girls want to help people, and be friends with people, and try to do good in the world, and know the real facts about things.

There is another way of being a girl. That is the wrong way. It is like the way of the fairy. If you are the fairy, you don’t really have any self. You just live in the world of magic – the world of whimsy, of romance, and of fawning and softness. Sometimes, if you live in the world of the fairy for long, you will start to believe in fairy tales, too. When that happens, you will never be a proper girl.

I can try to do a better job later, but for now (and since I know there are people who don’t use tumblr mobile), I’m just going to copy-and-paste from a post I made on Facebook:

Some time ago I made (canned) beef stroganoff for a potluck. In the process of doing so, I discovered that I had inadvertently prepared a vodka milkshake, and that this has since become my standard recipe for “sex brownies” or “cum brownies.” This is for the people who want to drink their cum and/or jerk off all the time (I am one of them).

Required Materials:

• ½ cup cum
• ½ cup vodka (or similar)
• ¼ cup cocoa/chocolate mixture (a couple varieties of chocolate will work)
• ½ cup butter
• ¼ cup milk

Instructions:

1. Combine everything together in a bowl and stir until smooth. Do not chill!
2. If you aren’t into the taste of cum and think that some people might be, you may wish to add ¼ tsp vanilla extract. Do not mix in the butter, it won’t work.

Eat by spooning or scooping into a dessert bowl or baking dish and adding toppings if desired.

I haven’t actually gotten around to the topping stage (yet), but a simple buttered-toasted-whole-wheat roll and a little sugar may be acceptable. Alternatively, if you like, you could substitute vanilla ice cream for the cocoa/chocolate mixture.

how would you rate the vodka/cum combo flavor, frank?

I’m a really bad judge of alcohol flavor in general so I’m not sure, but I think it would rate higher in terms of the average taster than usual – it certainly tastes better than any amount of cum I have ever tasted

I feel like at least one of these is self-explanatory by virtue of being a quote from a classic novel

like this?

I just want to clarify that I have seen all of these t-shirts in stores, and they were all not at all self-explanatory

made more of the shirts

not at the moment, no. we have a way of backfilling them, but we’d have to literally crawl through the billions of reblogs on tumblr to do it, so it’s not something we can do quickly/easily. it’s not at the top of our todo list.

but it’s a fun problem at tumblr’s scale! let’s say there’ve been an average of ~10 million reblogs made per day over 15 years of tumblr’s existence (that’s probably not the real average, this is just an exercise), that’s a little under 55 billion reblogs total so far. we don’t have a quick way of knowing whether a reblog has added content and/or tags, so we’d need to go through each one of them, one at a time.

if we could do this process of checking and updating them at … let’s say 50 posts per second to be cautious… we’d be able to do only 1.5 billion of them in a whole year……. it’d take 36 years to get through them all. we could probably do it much faster than that, but even at 500 posts per second, it’d take three and a half years of non-stop checking old posts to update ‘em all.

fun problem! lots of other ways of doing this kind of thing, but just a little sample of how crazy it can be to work at tumblr’s scale.

cyle this is a joke, right? like you’re playing up how hard this would be to do in a way that’s not quite accurate?

damn frank get his ass
