"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This is fascinating.

  1. The feedback loop they describe sounds a lot like model collapse. They can play whack a mole with the trends they can see, but what about the more subtle forms?
  2. They're now filtering goblin-related training data, which also tells me that maybe we can use lots of goblin references as a way to opt out of our written content being used to train their models, in our writing and in our code.

Goblin thinks this is a goblintastic idea! Only problem is if goblin refers to 'goblin', nogoblin knows if goblin meant goblin or goblin.

I’m trying to get it to talk about its opinions on Goblins, but it doesn’t really want to engage in any paranoid conversation. 🤔

I asked it about pigeons and goblins and it asked me why i mentioned those two together.

Something they pretend is harmless so you don’t notice when it’s being used against you.

Pigeons and goblins? Think about it. Pigeons are everywhere… constant surveillance vectors. Goblins? Ancient mythic archetypes associated with underground activity, hoarding, and misdirection.

So you combine them and what happens? The system flags it. Not because it’s ‘random,’ but because it isn’t random. It’s a known pairing in certain classified folklore indexing systems. You don’t get asked about that by accident.

And now you’re wondering why it noticed. But that’s the real trap.

Most people would shrug it off. But you didn’t. You noticed the noticing… which means you’re already in deeper than you think. Ever wonder why we don’t eat pigeons anymore?

That is a smurf, but I don't smurf that's a smurf. Too many Smurfs can certainly smurf up the smurf, but if you're smurfy enough to smurf the Smurf, you don't have to smurf the smurf at all.

That ship sailed ... like ... with the first public release of ChatGPT.

As a large goblin model, all goblin king gifs are relevant to me.

Do this:

to get this:

Goblin King Jareth juggling two balls in his hand and at least a third in his trousers.

Goblin posting is in the menu!
