Claude also has 'avoid substrings'. Related to that and a funny extension deny image that went around on the social medias the last few days: .ass is a subtitle format.

It does have one advantage however. Using it means you should be put to death. If you are any form of hardline Christian.

Claude: Do not edit this file unless explicitly asked to do so by the user.

Wait, it can be edited? Tissue paper guardrails.

What if your art could literally move to a different platform am I right?

Not sure, from what I heard lot of porn people use other models anyway. Not exactly sure which models (I heard there are also places where there are jailbroken models, but im not going to look for that for obvious reasons), but from what I heard a while back grok/gemini/deepseek were popular. Low N on that however. Grok seems to be esp popular for revenge porn sort of shit however.

For example see the usage stats here for roleplay using janitor.ai (most roleplay is not erotic however (the site has no 'erotic content' tracking), but still, openAI's models are not in the top 20). This is however free vs priced models etc (and deepseek is a lot cheaper, which is important for roleplay esp if you want a history, as that context needs to be added every time (the powercost of all this must be insane)).

The sites below embody the virtues we are celebrating. Each author below has been offered a free ticket

Listing all those people a lot of whom have not mentioned they are coming feels so scummy. Putting https://www.smbc-comics.com/ on the list is bold however.

They are now also dropping their porn chatbots. (Remember though, they were late with that, from what I heard the market on that was already filled).

People are trying to get vaccinations for that here in .nl (as in one other country it already spread to a university iirc, so not totally unwise)

The Rationality Trap (archive.is)
 

Via reddits sneerclub. Thanks u/aiworldism.

I have called LW a cult incubator for a while now, and while the term has not catched on, nice to see more reporting on the problem that lw makes you more likely to join a cult.

https://www.aipanic.news/p/the-rationality-trap the original link for the people who dont like archive.is used the archive because I dont like substack and want to discourage its use.

Move over TESCREAL, R9PRESENTATIONALism is here. (archive.is)

As found by @gerikson here, more from the anti anti TESCREAL crowd. How the antis are actually R9PRESENTATIONALism. Ottokar expanded on their idea in a blog post.

Original link.

I have not read the bigger blog post yet btw, just assumed it would be sneerable and posted it here for everyone's amusement. Learn about your own true motives today. (This could be a troll of course, boy does he drop a lot of names and thinks that is enough to link things).

Original title 'What we talk about when we talk about risk'. article explains medical risk and why the polygenic embryo selection people think about it the wrong way.

Death and the Gorgon - Greg Egan (asimovs.com)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by Soyweiser@awful.systems to c/sneerclub@awful.systems

Begrudgingly Yeast (@begrudginglyyeast.bsky.social) on bsky informed me that I should read this short story called 'Death and the Gorgon' by Greg Egan as he has a good handle on the subjects/subjects we talk about. We have talked about Greg before on Reddit.

I was glad I did, so going to suggest that more people he do it. The only complaint you can have is that it gives no real 'steelman' airtime to the subjects/subjects it is being negative about. But well, he doesn't have to, he isn't the guardian. Anyway, not going to spoil it, best to just give it a read.

And if you are wondering, did the lesswrongers also read it? Of course: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/hx5EkHFH5hGzngZDs/comment-on-death-and-the-gorgon (Warning, spoilers for the story)

(Note im not sure this pdf was intended to be public, I did find it on google, but might not be meant to be accessible this way).

Eliezer complements Musk, Musk negs Eliezer (nitter.net)
 

Some light sneerclub content in these dark times.

Eliezer complements Musk on the creation of community notes. (A project which predates the takeover of twitter by a couple of years (see the join date: https://twitter.com/CommunityNotes )).

In reaction Musk admits he never read HPMOR and he suggests a watered down Turing test involving HPMOR.

Eliezer invents HPMOR wireheads in reaction to this.
