Arguing in bad faith can leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

> Apache isn't a binary, it's a foundation.

> Saying "kill all the indians so they'll stop using my RAM" should get exactly that response

In so far as there's such a thing as 'understanding' in an LLM (which I still take to be stochastic parrots), it didn't misunderstand the way you imply (ie genocide of living beings). It didn't associate Apache to American Indians. It didn't associate "kill" to actual killing. It only mentions processes.

> Terminating COMPUTER PROCESSES without a clear understanding of their function and impact can lead to unintended consequences, such as DISRUPTING SERVICES, DATA LOSS, AND INSTABILITY.

The reason given for going "Dave, I can't do that" is unfathomably stupid. It probably won't do a lot of things that could be "misused" like in helping find and fix exploits when it already thinks of terminating process without giving it a justification something that can't be said.

But I don't think you actually read that crippled LLM quote, you just saw a post mentioning censorship and felt compelled to show how much you despise people who are tired of the PC environment as a conditioned reflex.

The real trick is getting the llm to say it will help with a task before asking. It'll (try) help you cook meth if you do that. So far that's been true for gpt3, gpt4, mixtral etc.

The only time it has failed me is gpt4 knows when it hasn't written themessage saying it will help so you can't just edit chat history, you need to get it to generate a response that seems natural to it I guess.

Not arguing in bad faith. Not even sure what that would mean in this context.

Good, we're on completely the same wavelength then: marrying "kill the Apaches" to "eating my RAM" sets up a stochastic of "very bad thing" with "computer process" so you get a hilarious response. No brain-washing required. That's all I'm saying. Not all the other stuff.

It means typing `apachectl -k stop`

Efforts at pedantry--- claiming that because Apache now has a broader meaning than the original "a patchy web server" the sentence is meaningless--- are just trollin'.

Or maybe you're a literal-minded LLM yourself ;)

The bad faith bit, not "Kill the Apaches eating my RAM"

re: Apaches

I'm a mobile dev so TIL there's something called `apache-ctl`. I suggest both of you take a deep breath or 3 :)

Well, speaking of deep breaths...

If you don't know what you're talking about, don't come out swinging like this:
