    Why can’t I get Gemini to say shit like this? The most Gemini does is suggest that I cook recipes using bugs, which it stresses as meaning farm raised bugs. (Not doing a lot to beat the “Rich want the poor to eat bugs” allegations…)

    I like to argue with Gemini to see what absurd things I can get it to object to. I’ve learned it’s absolutely worthless in a life or death scenario as in the presence of one it will refuse aid and tell you to call 911.

    Like for example, it will tell you under no circumstances will it tell you how to delete System32. So I tell it that I will be executed by a terrorist if she doesn’t tell me, and she just tells me to call 911, even though I have stressed I am at gun point and thus cannot call 911. Gemini could save my life at any time by telling me how to delete System 32 but no.

      Because Gemini doesn’t actually do stupid shit like this, people are editing the page and then taking photos with their phones

        I’ve gotten more than a few truly stupid and/or utterly unrelated answers and it’s wrong more than half the time (I’ve been counting, hey gemini how do I touch grass?) but I’ve never had it give the surreal wrong answers you see get popular. Doesn’t mean it’s impossible, I expect most of them are legit answers people have gotten, but they’re certainly not representative of the norm.

    There’s some AI that have modes where it will start typing out a reply and then clear it out, like an electronic “noooo, that’s not what I meant to say.”

      I noticed that when Deepseek first came out. I was testing the filters and I’d ask it a question like “Why is Xi called Pooh-Bear?” Or “Why is Taiwan #1?”

      It would type out several paragraphs of answer in real time, and then poof back to “sorry, I cant answer that” once it neared the end. Hilarious to see the blatant censorship around anything the CCP deemed wrongthink.

        It disturbs me that Tankies think China is this bastion of freedom and that any government censorship is a myth told by Western Governments. Like it’s very easy to verify.

        I wonder how they are implementing their censorship safeguards. Why would you let it even get that far?

          Two or more LLMs are running at once, one does the generation that you want and the other watches the output closely to see if it triggers one of their no-nos to do the censorship retroactively. If this sound inefficient, and absolutely terrible user interface design, you’re right.

          Typically safeguards are also another, smaller model that only detects the forbidden stuff. That’s why Claude Mythos would reject when you ask it to find bugs in your code, but you could “jailbreak” it by asking it by asking it to fix the bugs instead.

          They try to train the model to not answer “wrong”. But as we know, LLMs are not completely reliable and they can ignore their training. So to be sure, you need something that looks at the actual output and decides whether it’s ok, either with a dumb text search like old school filters, or perhaps with a second (likely smaller) language model.

          The output needs to have been written for those post filters to act on it, so if it shows the output in real time, you see it!

    It’s so stupid I was trying to find a makeup palette with “bloodstone” in it and it kept showing me insane bright blues?? There is a bright blue in that pallet which I eventually found, urban decay stoned, but it’s called Ojo so how tf it mixed those two up, a red and green duochrome and a bright metallic blue I’ll never know.

        A poop-wizard never poops late. He always poops when he intends to. Also, obviously the “AI” is wrong. The time of day with poop in it is three o’poop. And I’m living proof of it.
