infosex.exchange <3

You are probably looking for the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance

This host is mostly for my random stuff, and in little part acts like a well-intentioned placeholder for the typosquatted domain.

Discoverability and Archiving

Currently I'm using this host for saving the items from my own feeds to the Wayback Machine and provide in-links for search engines. I hate that I have to do this, but the non-sense ideology of Mastodon pretty much ruined the search feature for Fediverse as a whole, and this wasn't changed by the fact that they owned their mistake and implemented search eventually.

Yes, I (or anyone else) could do similar things with other peoples published feeds, regardless of the tantrum. No, you can't defederate this, because the process doesn't rely on an instance.

Gluttony Section for Search Engines

@schrotthaufen Most likely. It's the first time I saw the actual crap it produced (in the published court docs) and I'm outraged.

"Our safeguards work **more reliably** in **common**, **short** exchanges. We have learned over time that these safeguards can **sometimes** be **less reliable** in **long** interactions: as the back-and-forth grows, **parts** of the model’s safety training **may** degrade."

Look at the rate of weasel wording in OpenAI's not-really-apology:

https://openai.com/index/helping-people-when-they-need-it-most/

I'm sick and tired of people pretending they have ways to enforce LLM behavior, while all they do is weigh dices differently - they remain dices.

Trying to enforce security boundaries with a PRNG is one thing, but you definitely can't prevent reinforcing harmful behavior, because you can't even define what it is.

And this can cost lives, as we just witnessed.

In a somewhat better world this ChatGPT suicide case should at minimum trigger resignations from OpenAI top brass. This won't happen of course, showing what kind of people we are dealing with there.

And yes, this case is different from finding similar information via search engines, because search engines don't pretend to be people who care about you.
