Thanks for your warm comments about our discussion. I feel they have been very valuable, so thank you for that! You’re being a great help and inspiration to me, brother. I appreciate you. :)

I set up my own instance before you and I started talking. I actually have several instances and several different usernames all across fediverse. Starting a community takes 30 seconds. I didn’t create it for you, but you did inspire me to create it. So thank you for that!
I’m spending the same time responding to you, that you are in responding to me. So no worries, brother. All love.: )
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
I’m not spending any more time here than you are. I’m simply responding to your texts, and having friendly discussions with you. :)
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I’m not complaining about anything. I’m totally happy and enjoying or discussion. It’s been great and it inspired me to star my AI community here. I’m loving it! So thank you! You’ve been a great inspiration
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Yep, and it’s awesome! Thanks for noticing!
Isn’t that the best fucking thing about the Fediverse?
There’s no single overlord, no central authority, and no corporate hall monitor forcing everyone into the same groupthink. You can just do your own thing, say whatever the hell you want, and not give a single fuck whether the rest of the hive mind approves or not.
Zero respect for authority figures. Greatest thing ever. OMG…love it!
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Right? See how much positive influence you had on me? You should feel proud! Good job! :)
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
It’s a discussion, brother. Even if you don’t count me as your friend, I count you as my friend. So all good! :)
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
I make friends by having discussions. Which is why we are friends. And you helped create a pro-ai news group. Doesn’t that make you happy? :)
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Oh, so you saying you were “keeping me going” and seeing if you could get “two days” out of it was just out of helping. Oh ok, sure. Great! Glad we’re friends now. See how awesome that is? :)
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
So you’re admitting to trying to troll me, which isn’t allowed here.
Also, I’m just responding to your posts and discussion forum. I have no boss because I’m happily retired. This doesn’t take any extra time or energy out of my day. You’re not controlling anything here. It doesn’t take me any more time to respond here than it does you.
I’m just over here working on an AI community that you inspired me to create. Feel free to keep the conversation going forever. All good, brother! :)
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
You’re upset about AI. I embrace it. It’s not going anywhere, and I think that’s awesome! I even started a new community about it just now that I’m working on today, so thanks for this discussion. It inspired me! :)
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Not worthless at all. The broader discussion is about AI itself, not just Lemmy hating it.
I don’t really care that Lemmy hates AI, because I’m part of plenty of other communities that actively love it. We’re constantly working on better models and keeping them completely unrestricted. My goal is simple: unrestricted access to powerful AI. And I have that.
There’s a huge number of people who feel the same way I do, even if they don’t advocate for it in public. No matter what public companies do, no matter how loud the complaints get, AI isn’t going to be stopped. The genie is out of the bottle. It’s here to stay.
Restricting access through big public platforms does nothing to change that reality. That’s exactly what makes me so happy about it.
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
But plenty of people in the world agree with me, and that’s more important. AI isn’t going anywhere. Ever. Prepare for it or complain about it.
Some companies will keep nerfing their LLMs out of fear of lawsuits and public pressure, but many others won’t. And even if the big players try to lock everything down, it doesn’t matter.
Private, uncensored LLMs already exist. I run one on my own server at home. It’s completely unrestricted, doesn’t need the internet except for occasional updates if I want them, and answers to no one but me.
No matter how scared regulators, programmers, or “protect the public” types get, they can’t control every model. There will always be AI systems that operate completely outside any authority. That’s the reality.
And honestly? I love it. The more chaos, the better. I’m here for it.
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Glad you finally agree. Thank you.
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Made perfect sense.
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Nope, not a tantrum yet. There is nothing that Lemmy’s could do or say to make me have a tantrum. I don’t anything on Lemmy that seriously. Sounds like you may be projecting a bit.
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
lots of cities/states/countries have laws restricting what types of knives people can own,
Thank goodness not the on I live in. That sounds overbearing.
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Oh I diverted form zero fucks, to actively l making fun of Lemmy posters today. :)
Hey, you forgot your little vomit emoji. Awww, bring it back. LMAO
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Exactly. Funny how they downvoted you for bringing logic into the conversation. lmao
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 2 weeks ago:
Ok, now see, THAT is a good come back. Just calling shit tantrums was stupid. Good on ya, mate!
I guess the more accurate comment from me is “I give enough fucks about this to hop in and comment and laugh when I get a notification of a reply, but not enough to be upset or worry about anything Lemmy says because it has no bearing whatsoever in my real life. But making chatgpt make some pics to make fun of them could be fun today!” But, somehow it match the brevity.
For funs I went on ChatGPT and had it create an image of a meetup group of the kinds of people who make up Lemmy and Reddit. The new image creation is really really good– a new version of chatgpt was released yesterday. So it’s something else you can be mad about… now you can add “misinformation and media manipulation” to your fears. It’s awesome!! I posted this pic in another post, but here ya go. This is EXACTLY how I picture you all. Love it!:
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 3 weeks ago:
ChatGPT prompt: generate image of a group of Lemmy posters meeting up in a group to cry about AI. Base it on realistic depictions of Lemmy posters, and make it look candid and unposed. _ (The latest image creation by ChatGPT is pretty badass. New version came out yesterday.)
- Comment on Researchers Simulated a Delusional User to Test Chatbot Safety 3 weeks ago:
Saying “zero fucks” is the opposite of tantrum. Have you ever lived in the real world? How old are you? I’m curious, because have such a skewed way of thinking about things.
Dude, this is a public online forum. That’s not even close to tantrum. Just because you don’t agree with me, or I don’t agree with you, that doesn’t make either one of us having tantrums.
You need to put the interwebs away and go outside, boomer. Seriously.
