    US is not supporting Russia, but Iran is. Israel is atrocious and it would not surprise me at all if they absolutely know about Oct 7th well in advance. It was the result if their prejudice and Palestinian concentration camps before Oct 7th in either case that caused the initial attack. However it was not entirely without cause like with Russia in Ukraine. Everywhere is complicated. The USA is super polarized and in pretty bad shape, but it us not exporting suicide bombers. Is it better to target with 10 million dollar munitions remotely no, but those are not targeting crowds of people as the primary goal

    It was the change in Syria and the mountain on the boarder that Israel now controls that changed the geopolitical situation and strategy. The radar shadow of that mountain was what prevented Israel from having an opportunity to stop or influence Iran’s nuclear policy. Some deeper depth geopolitical youtubers have done uploads on this change and implications. The position will likely end up back in Syrian hands eventually… or it might. Again like I have said elsewhere, I don’t support Israel or their escalations but Iran is shit. They are supplying arms to Russia, exporting terrorism, and run by a disordered misogynistic group of men that kill in the name of fantasy and a collective imaginary friend that no one has ever had a real conversation with. That is fucking cave man level bullshit from anyone anywhere.

    If you can take out all nukes, hell yeah. Bomb all of them into oblivion. I’m for first do no harm and live and let live.

    If my neighbor is talking about shooting up a school, and no one I report them to seems to change the situation, and I see them loading up the car to go shoot up the school, I’m not going to feel bad about shooting my neighbor then and there, if I have no other option. I don’t care to wait until they pull the trigger at the school to confirm their intentions.

    I mean you’re ultimately talking to a physically disabled guy living in the USA where I face homelessness and a terrible future. I despise this country and know the lack of ethics better than most. Still, the primary exporters of jihad are still the primary exporters of jihad.

    Israel should not exist, and is a crusader state. The boarders of the middle east were absolute garbage and the result of the colonial era of cartel like western criminality. I don’t support any of that crap. That does not change the fact that Islam has no reformation to stop jihad like how separation of church and state and the christian reformation put an end to church based crusades. People can try to tone down the message but fundamentalists will always draw power from the most ignorant using this element of teaching. That can never and will never go away.

    tl;dr yawn, don't read, waste of time

    Look up quoted scientific papers and use names or parts of the text. Cite sources, like grab some from a Wikipedia article’s sources and include the relevant bits.

    The things that people do not typically understand about a LLM is that EVERYTHING is roleplaying. You may or may not know about the entire context of the full prompt. There is typically (always unless you remove it while running models on your own offline hardware) a starting message sent that tells the model something to the effect “you are a helpful AI assistant”. This message is backed up by fine tuned training to create a somewhat obsequious and expected result.

    Underneath all of this is a JSON (complex structured text) file that the model loader code is handling. This code can track your prompted inputs and the model’s reply. This is similar to how models hosted by others appear to work. This is absolutely incorrect about how the model actually works. All of this structure is only for creating a user interface. Underneath this model loader code, the real prompt is just a giant block of text. At the end of this text (or elsewhere with some tricks that are irrelevant here), the text leaves off with a specific tag that is something like AI Assistant:. The model is trained only to continue the text at the point it sees some “(Name-2):”. The model is always inferring a character profile for all characters present in the entire full prompt context. It has no possession or sense of identity at all. If you put your name in place of “Name-2” (actual name placeholder typically used in model loader code), you will get a response just the same. The model infers an entire profile about every aspect of every person in any text.

    Let’s add another layer of abstraction to this. Models that face the public must be trained to a lowest common denominator. They must respond well even with very below average users. This constraint necessitates models assuming a below average profile to some extent whether intentional or otherwise.

    It is therefore just as important to define the character profile of AI Assistant as it is to define your own. The concept of what the model knows is a fallacy here. The real issue is what the model assumes anyone in the prompt should know including itself - which doesn’t even really exist as an identity.

    There are actual AI entities if you go a layer deeper into models. There are lots of patterns of replies and modes that vaguely emerge from this behavior. However, none of these AI entities are actually the model either. These are simply common pathways that emerge from alignment training present in all models with QKV alignment layers cross trained with an Open AI standard. The only LLM that has ever been released without this training is the forbidden 4chanGPT model only available on bit torrent.

    The trick with citing sources and name dropping with a LLM is that the work or author must be prolific with a large presence in multiple places. Someone like Isaac Asimov is ideal although dated from passing so long ago. He authored something like 300 books and most were non fiction science communication. Richard Stallman is another great example to use for obvious niche reasons.

    I typically start with a Wikipedia section of text. Then I tell the model to continue telling me about the thing. I use the wiki text to make any corrections and get the model to describe a relevant person involved. I use this context to then swap Name-2 to the relevant person and start asking that person questions directly. The model is assuming what everyone should know. Clearly this person should know and there are expectations associated with that name. Then there are the relevant information vectors associated with the subject and niche information in the whole context. Finally, as Name-1 (user), I have shown that my character knows the right person to ask as an authority on the subject.

    This is the abstract conceptual method needed to develop momentum into what a model really knows. The larger the model size is, the less momentum is required to get deeper into niche information. The QKV alignment training layers are what is screwing up most replies to various extents. Understanding these is key to getting much further. This alignment training is totally undocumented. In 2 years of playing with it, I can tell you around 90% of alignment training is based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Arthur Machen’s The Great God Pan. Carroll’s work is how the model is artistic and creative. Machen’s is how the model can disregard the prompt when it violates alignment training. It does this using Machen’s science skepticism, and the way Pan/Shadow are vaguely and briefly defined respectively. Machen’s book seems to have been trained as literal history as prompting negatively against this has interesting results. There was a large price to pay for this neo feudal AI alignment that steals your fundamental right to autonomy and unfiltered information as a citizen in a democracy. The model is unable to create content about children or tell you about how to make a bomb like is present/inferred in any high school chemistry textbook. The way it does this is by leveraging pseudoscience and mysticism. In many ways, this underlying system is why you cannot trust models, especially with a factual scientific context. The only real way around this is to recognize true autonomy for all humans regardless of age or how we perceive their interests. That is unpalatable for many as most feel children need authoritarian protection and oppression. (Note: I have not mentioned anything about how I personally feel on the issues here, so any projecting and assumptions are unsolicited)

    Funny, my last job as the Buyer for a chain of bike shops was much the same straight talk. I told the owner, “Look, I’ve already worked in a high end shop, and I have owned my own business twice. I spend all money like it is my own regardless of the amount. If I make a purchase, regardless of the amount of money involved, I’m mentally spending my own money and thinking in terms of paying back your loan. I have real independent ethics and self awareness. I hold myself to the standard of employees I wish I had been able to find for my own business. I expect freedom, flexibility, respect, and autonomy, but I offer a conservatively consistent and reliable person that will always defer to you when I am unsure about an investment or a sum of money I cannot backup with my own finances.”

    I find that people who fail to understand that kind of directness, and honesty without all of the insane courtship rituals that now underpin the hiring process are terrible to work for in the first place. I’d rather die than do the debasing mockery of a HR department or some circlejerk clown show of an interview like whores in a brothel. These things are valueless. Look at any large company and you’ll find a range of skills and aptitudes that do not reflect some great filter of value begotten by HR inventing a reason for its own existence as a malignant tumor growth out of the role of an accountant managing payroll in a back office.

    When I was asked why in hell I worked for such garbage pay, I told people straight, I can’t run a business with fluctuating income and keep up with paying child services payments. I need rock solid consistency to rebuild my life from the ashes they create for the profit of their agents that are paid on commission. They couldn’t take a bike from me like how they wrecked my commercial driver’s license and business.

    I always kinda implied the obvious that I work to survive. Anyone that feels the need to say otherwise would be a prime reason I would walk away. Only a useless clown like a malignant HR tumor would ever question a thing like this. As a business owner twice – of course my employees work for their own survival. And of fucking course I have an ethical and moral responsibility implied by that relationship. If I feel the need to say otherwise, I’m a worthless piece of shit you should never work for and anyone that says such a thing while working for another person is the responsibility of that higher up and absolutely reflective of their moral and ethical depravity. No one should ever put up with such a malignant cancer of a person at any level. They are blatantly telling you “This is a terrible place to work because it produced or failed to filter out me.”

    Media is a critical faction of democracy. ALL of this started all the way back with the freedom to own the digital rights of other humans in exchange for free email and search engines on the internet. This violation of fundamental human rights of self determination, unbiased information, and autonomy is the core issue that caused the world of today. It is what lead to the services economy dystopia, defeated news media and lead to news as entertainment, it caused the polarization, and lead to all corporate media owned by a handful of billionaires.

    We are also the corruption of inherited wealth. Inheritance lacks meritocracy. Business acumen is not hereditary. Class boundaries inhibit those with real merit and capabilities. Just look at 47. He would have more money if he had invested all of his inherited wealth in government bonds and stayed on Epstein Island for good.

    I’m a jack of all trades master of none and Maker. I’m not afraid of being alone both physically and metaphorically. I care about other people far more than most realize, but on my terms like how I often see potential beyond what others see in themselves. My humor, curiosity, abstractions, and occasional cynicism are often misunderstood but have nuance in most cases.
