OpenAI's Latest Model Closes the 'Ignore All Previous Instructions' Loophole
Kylie Robison reports via The Verge: Have you seen the memes online where someone tells a bot to "ignore all previous instructions" and proceeds to break it in the funniest ways possible? The way it works goes something like this: Imagine we at The Verge created an AI bot with explicit instructions to direct you to our excellent re ... ⌘ Read more

@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net it’s amazing that anyone thinks that these so-called instructions in large language models are anything close to what you would consider instructions or even remotely intelligible.

The “Matrix Experiment”, i.e. running a Matrix server for our family, has failed completely and miserably. People don’t accept it. They attribute unrelated things to it, like “I can’t send messages to you, I don’t reach you! It doesn’t work!” Yes, you do, I get those messages, I just don’t reply quickly enough because I’m at work or simply doing something else.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The first time I tried matrix I didn’t like it either. I tried to join the public room and waited and waited and waited and waited for like 20+ minutes before I could even see anything in the room or even talk in the room! I just find the protocol to be so fucking overcomplicated for what it actually is meant to do.

We desperately need to start a Slow Software movement. High quality, intentionally designed, low defect software done at a quarter of the pace for the same price.

@prologic Hmm, yeah, hmm, I’m not sure. 😅 It all appears very subjective to me. Is 2k lines of code a lot or not?

@xuu I think you’re onto something here. I tend to agree that there are different measures of complexity to apply to different things. The only downside I see here is we start to get into the realms of hierarchy and bureaucracy right, as a means to “simplify” the complexity, or abstract it away. I mean we tend to do this in software too, hide the complexity in an abstraction. The problem with this is this also becomes a measure of “complexity” too right and can potentially suffer from a point where it has become “too complex”.

I've been thinking about a new term I've come across whilst reading a book. It's called "Complexity Budget" and I think it has relevant in lots of difficult fields. I specifically think it has a lot of relevant in the Software Industry and organizations in this field. When doing further research on this concept, I was only able find talks on complexity budget in the context of medical care, especially phychiratistic care. In this talk it was describe as, complexity:

AI Stocks Balloon Even As Earnings Lag, Jefferies Warns

However, 2025 earnings forecasts for these companies have increased only 25% over the same period, Jefferies warned in a note to clients.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I”m not really sure to be honest what stops people from contributing. Maybe it’s a discovery problem too? I’m not sure. Should sit down and see what the contributions have been for some of my projects before and after the migration away from Github? 🤔
Are we supposed to “forge hop” (as in “distro hop”) all the time, migrate from the most non-shitty hoster to the next? That can’t be the solution.
I sure hope not, that kind of defeats the point of an ecosystem that is suppose to encourage distributed software development and distributed forms of collaboration. Right? 🤔

@movq Since I moved all my projects off of Github for a number of reasons, I've also seen a significant decrease in "bug reports", but more so "contributors" too. But... I've always run an up-to-date instance of Gitea at https://git.mills.io where all my projects live. Despite that, it hasn't really seen much use beyond a handful of folk, like y'all here 😢 -- Sadly today, I've had to disable open registration on my Gitea instance, as well as my own Yarn pod (for Twtxt) because of the horrid amount of SPAM you have to deal with and cleanup.
