For those who don't know Chesterton: He is one of the most insightful, most entertaining writers you will ever read.


A lot of my friends have said so, and to be fair I haven't read more than a few paragraphs that they quoted or linked me to, but honestly, he's just... not for me I guess.


Martin Gardner wrote introductions for editions of several of Chesterton’s books, which is a nice bonus if you’re the kind of dork who likes a good introduction (guilty). They’re on some of the Dover thrift editions, I think, and probably some others.


Disagree. He was a smug, utterly conservative Catholic who wallowed in his biases, an authoritarian and an anti-semite.


He could be all of those things and still be an entertaining writer. They aren't exclusive.


Can you provide references for these claims?


'It' is obviously the correct pronoun.


There's enough disagreement among native English speakers that you can't really say any pronoun is the obviously correct one for an AI.


"What color is the car? It is red."

"It" is unambiguously the correct pronoun to use for a car. I'd really challenge you to find a native English speaker who would think otherwise.

I would argue a computer program is no different than a car.


People often refer to their car and other people's as "she" ("she's a beauty") so you're is obviously wrong.


But no one who does that thinks they're using proper English!


"she" is absolutely proper English for a ship or boat, with a long history of use continuing into the present day, and many dictionaries also list a definition of "thing, especially machine" or something like that, though for non-ship/boat things the use of "she" is rather less common.


You’re not aligned bro. Get with the program.


Interesting. I always ask myself: How do we know this is authentic?


Paste a random substring and ask it to autocomplete the next few sentences. If it's the same and your temperature > 0.4 then it's basically guaranteed to be a real system prompt because the probability of that happening is very low.



Come back in a few months to see this repo taken down by Anthropic.


It’s already down. Did you happen to save it? I’m just coming across it


Ask the Anthropic people


The big loss of game box culture already happened sometime in the 1990s. Before that, games often came with various kinds of "feelies": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feelie


I'm curious. Why did you use OF?


There were non-nude people on there, once upon a time. But the banking issues around XXX caused a mass migration to that service. I think originally it was supposed to be like patreon.

regardless, though, does it matter why?


I think a bunch of people around here used it for tutoring and yoga classes and such. It was meant to be a Patreon. But after a while, they stopped because everyone assumed it was "tutoring" and "yoga classes".

Perhaps this is why every platform ends up banning or pushing all the XXX to a red light district.


It was started by the founder of clips4sale and intended primarily for the findom kink. They really pushed the SFW angle early on as a way of hanging on to Stripe's low processing rates.


There are still people on there who make $$$ by pretty much just publishing Instagram-level stuff, but in bigger sets + videos. Most actual cosplayers moved off OF eventually and either sell directly or via Patreon now.

It doesn't always have to be hardcore, but the implication of having an OF is "porn star".


I don't like the interviewer, but just three weeks ago, Eric Schmidt was on the podcast and he is obviously very smart and knowledgeable about technology and business.


And yet, and yet, I still wouldn't take his diet advice that seriously.


Richer people always get products first, when they are still expensive and bad. Don't worry about too much.


"I'm so smart that you should just hire me without any interview but also I have to practice for weeks before I can implement a topological sort or longest common subsequence algorithm."


Written by George Hotz?


George Hotz does not have a monopoly on the word "Tiny" with respect to AI.


Something tells me he will never work for Microsoft. Even though they would probably love to employ him.


I wouldn't have said this a few years ago, but I think this is a good idea.
