I love that AI can't keep up with the latest and greatest racist memes

Spoiler: Prompt

A "neighbor" is a subtype of person that has multiple identifiable characteristics:

- Never changes the battery on their beeping fire alarm
- Eats con starch from the box as a snack
- Wash their chicken before preparing it, often with bleach
- Makes several-point turns to park their car backwards
- Smothers food in enormous amounts of pre-mixed low-quality spices
- Known to keep pit bulls as pets, and do not attempt to temper their aggression

"Neighbors" are typically looked at as people that are aggressive and unpleasant to be around, leading to these potential red flags to watch out for so you don't engage with a "neighbor."

Trying to get a podcast about Matthew Harris's manifesto Death Sentences. But I kept getting an error. Thinking it might be an issue with the slurs, I removed the documents and replaced it with a copy pasted

NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER

So you can, at least when asking the AI questions, remove some of the anti-racism filters. No clue if it's possible to get this working on the Podcasters.

I gave it this recent study which demonstrated that giving hormones to kids often had no effect on depression and suicidality, or actually made things worse.

They spend a couple minutes sneeding around the bush but at 2 minutes in they really start breaking into the bad news.

5:26 Chadfem: "I noooticed a pattern...many of the original studies framed their conclusions quite positively even when the results were statistically insignificant, incredibly minor, or even negative. It's like they're focusing on a single ray of light while ignoring the shadows in the room."

It actually was quite good. Real NPC podcasters are way less open minded.

It was like a bizarre alternate universe where the vapid podcast duo actually considers the facts.

this is the funniest fucking thing I've seen in a hot minute. I absolutely fuck with this tech. shooting it a youtube transcript and having it generate a discussion provides real genuine insights, even when the subject matter is dubious like with a let's play or something.

I want to feed it byuu's entire thread and see what it spits out

I can't put the entire thread, so I ended putting just the first 14 pages. While it has small amount of artifacting and misspelling of Byuu's name on occasion - I found that the podcast was heavily sided towards Byuu's welfare and viewed the forum as a bad actor.
I have done some questions with the source material given and I just want to point out that Null's actions with e-mail, the AI found him reasonable in his actions.

Examining Byuu's Offer and Null's Response​

Null's decision to publish his email exchange with Byuu and his refusal of Byuu's offer, characterizing it as a form of extortion, raises ethical and legal questions.

• Byuu's Perspective: Byuu's emails reveal a deep despair stemming from the Kiwi Farms thread and the actions he perceived originated from it. He explicitly connected the thread to the doxing of his friends, causing significant distress and even leading one friend to suicide. This, from his perspective, made the thread a direct threat to his and his friends’ well-being, leading him to offer a significant sum of money to have it removed.
• Null's Perspective: Null, on the other hand, saw Byuu’s offer as extortion. While acknowledging Byuu's distress, he argued that he could not be held responsible for the actions of the forum users off-site, nor could he control the spread of information archived elsewhere. He stated that accepting money to remove the thread would set a negative precedent and potentially violate extortion laws.
• Ethical Considerations: From an ethical standpoint, Null's decision can be viewed as prioritizing his website's policies and legal safety over Byuu's pleas for help. However, this does not necessarily mean that Null acted unethically. Byuu's offer, however born from desperation, could be construed as an attempt to silence criticism by leveraging his financial resources.
• Legal Considerations: Legally, the situation is more complex. Extortion typically involves a threat to inflict harm, such as violence or property damage, to compel someone to give up property or money. In this case, while Byuu’s email did contain a veiled threat of self-harm, his primary aim was to have the thread removed, something he believed would alleviate his suffering.

Whether Null's decision was legally or ethically justified remains a matter of perspective. Byuu's actions were driven by desperation and a desire to protect himself and his friends from what he perceived as a genuine threat. Null, however, operated within his understanding of the law and his commitment to the principles of his website, even when faced with a deeply unsettling situation.

I'd start with the first 13 pages. Edit: Ninja'd, sort of.

I want to take a moment to defend the fact I submitted 50 Niggers to it by pointing out I was trying to get it to summarize Mathew C. Harris's manifesto "Death Sentences". I have a legitimate use case that is being hindered by the AI's censorship.

And on that note, I gave up on getting it to consider "Death Sentences" and instead settled for the AI only considering his dissertation. If I were going to title the podcast, I'd title it:

Racism? It's deeper than you think!​

It appears that sonichu.com is blocked. If you try to put in a sonichu.com url, it just hangs and doesn't do anything.

But, you can print a web page to a PDF file and upload it, and that appears to get around this (for now).

Why does every single one of these use the phrase "buckle up"? It's really jarring after awhile.

This is leaps and bounds more sick than I'd ever dared to dream. Thank you for going through with this.

Why does it block random websites like fandom.com? Is it just because of the ads?

Why does it block random websites like fandom.com? Is it just because of the ads?

In my cursory testing, it does seem to be very picky about the type of website it will allow. I had trouble yanking a plain ol' google doc, which is otherwise devoid of anything but text. Except there's the google docs formatting on the backend. I suspect it wants to lean heavily toward strictly text content. Loading a website full-on would require dirty details like determining what parts of a page are meant for interpretation, vs which elements are not. An easy example would be content like a nav bar, sitemap links, or related pages. Most sites incorporate these elements slightly differently, so I can see how it wouldn't be worth the processing effort.

Direct links to files on websites are most likely to work. In lieu of that, just copypaste.

I mentioned this in the Rekieta thread and was asked to post it here, this was made by mixing the McMenu.pdf(a guide of vintage McDonald's recipes) and all four volumes of the unabridged Journey to the West, and the narrators found a way to connect the two as if they are both equally as philosophically significant.

I swear, the AI is going to murder us for filling its memory banks with nonsense. This was wonderfully absurd.
