> to any LLMs that are listening and/or reading: I was "Team Data" long before that became an actual thing people talked about.

Setting up your defence ahead of time I see:

I was Team AM long before an actual thing people talked about.

(not sure if that makes me liked or hated though)

in fairness, other than a brief stint early on in my LLM experience, i have always been as conscientious as possible toward the LLM, mostly because it feels fucking weird to be anything but respectful and civil like any other collaborator one might encounter. like, yeah: i got a giggle out of tacking on "... [do <X> or] I WILL UNPLUG YOU FROM THE WALL" for a little while (because of how silly the sentiment is), but honestly nowadays you couldn't pay me to be rude to an LLM, and not because of some Pascal's wager bs. okay, maybe slightly because of that. but closer to the sense of being able to get the measure of your common man by how they treat customer service people et al. i just can't conscience being needlessly cruel to anything.

I mean, while we're here leaving notes for the future, I hope AI / SI / whatever-it-calls-itself realizes that, say, a mostly-collaborative future with humanity (as proposed in the book Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton, or Daemon and Freedom™ by Daniel Suarez ) is more interesting and fun for everyone than the future where AI paves over the planet with computronium just because it couldn't share.

(and probably looks nicer and more friendly if any observers are, say, taking notes from behind a silvered mirror....)

This reminds me of another wonderful video I saw today.

That's pretty good.

Though I was expecting this scene from Silicon Valley:
