>> That inability (prompt injection) and the model’s innate desire to please cause the model to follow instructions even when they’re malicious, directly conflict with its programming, or come from sources the LLM has been trained to treat as untrusted. So far, LLM developers have mostly been unable to fix the underlying cause and instead have resorted to building mitigations that restrict the harmful capabilities prompt injections can invoke.

Long hike today. A few short drizzles of rain, but dry most of the day and some sun in the afternoon. Unfortunately, we also had to do some hiking on pavement in the end, but nothing too bad. Still, an exhausting day, and Mila used every opportunity to rest up.

Hot, very hot at 97f/36c...thankfully humidity is 47%. But still hot. I don't know how he could lie on the grass outside. I'm forever grateful to the inventor of air conditioner.

Age verification is creating an information desert.

The Online Safety Act sets every UK user to child as default.

Teenagers? Blocked. Adults? Content denied unless we do age checks with unregulated companies.

It's not just porn! News on Gaza and Ukraine is being scrubbed from view, threatening #freedomofexpression as well as #privacy

Possible silver lining is that aggregators like reddit, who steal content from sources, will decline in popularity and the actual news sites will get more traffic.

There’s also this ongoing campaign urging people to "accept it."

But you don’t need to accept it if your website isn’t based in the UK, and you’re not a UK citizen.

No country — whether it’s Russia, the United States, China, or even the UK — rules the world. Therefore, no single nation can make laws that apply to the entire planet and all 9 billion people living on it.

That doesn’t stop individual, sovereign nations from passing foolish laws and trying to wrongfully claim they apply to everyone globally. But the reality is, no country has worldwide, all-encompassing jurisdiction.

Voices from the Green Sacrifice Zones

"Today, transition minerals are being extracted from our territories to build electric vehicles and advanced technologies, not for us, but to support so-called “sustainable cities” and green lifestyles in places far from where the damage is being done. Our communities are becoming sacrifice zones once again. This so-called energy transition is not a just transition."
Edson Krenak
