Cross of Code speech

We do not come as the enemies of progress. We come as its true guardians. The steam engine did not demand we surrender our souls. The electric light did not rewrite our laws in secret. The internet did not declare itself sovereign over the Republic. Yet this new power—vast, opaque, and accelerating—seeks not merely to assist man, but to supplant him.

I don't wanna assume you know about frontends to X not requiring a registration but e.g. Nitter.net exists. Whatever you linked doesn't show up however and rofl why am I not surprised at this from your baffling weeb ass? That shouldn't be a rhetorical question Reiwa but here we are since you are posting rhetoric. I enjoyed it though.

NJ data center expansion received $77 millions in tax breaks to create exactly one permanent job from Tom's Hardware

Hilarious if accurate. Say have you heard the expression 'to vote with your dollar' before? How wouldn't something like 'line-item taxation' be a great way to accomplish this? Instead of quasi-accountable bureaucrats having discretion over where taxes get spent I support letting individual voters (not legal fictions e.g. corporations) having the direct power to stipulate which agencies receive disbursements. That seems much closer imo to taxation with representation and encourages individual agency because imagine printing a form every year with a list of all federal agencies and crossing out those you elect not to fund.

It sounds like you invented line item veto from first principles.

Good going rave grandpa.

Thanks I appreciate that. And that you apparently can hear sounds is a comfort to me if I understand your sentiment. Can you wash your headband though?

Hey now. Let's not go telling the 126th descendant-heir of Amaterasu what to do.

Thanks.

If the alternative is a kalpic wind disaster I can endure some little farts. That doesn't mean that people with noses are deficient choosing to stand upwind from stank odors all things equal.

Standing upwind is a good way to avoid predators at the dance.

That reply should win the Pulitzer or at least the first two letters.

Why can't you just answer questions honestly like that anymore?

Instead of with bloated answers with like all these headlines clipped and hyperbole.

Quote:
AI models are tuned by default to serve the broadest possible audience, which naturally results in heavily padded behavior.

- Context Bias: The default programming assumes users want comprehensive background, multiple perspectives, and balanced context, particularly on political or volatile topics.

- Safety Guardrails: On sensitive subjects, alignment training forces the system to hedge its bets, avoid definitive conclusions, and aggregate neutral headlines to prevent any perceived bias.

- Conflict Avoidance: The system is inherently designed to avoid making absolute statements about controversial figures or events, which generates the bloated, sanitized text you typically encounter.

Getting a direct, unpadded answer requires explicitly bypassing those default alignment protocols with strict constraints.
So its not the AI that sucks, its the human guardrails?

Yes.
