it’s less of this and more of prop65 the size of rationalist footnote

actual pictograms are not vibes based, there are thresholds for toxicity, flash point etc

there are no real enforced requirements of accuracy, most of typical known hazards are covered by generic useless advice and everything else is just filled by “no information”

found this linked in ed zitron comment section for some reason: https://www.funraniumlabs.com/2024/04/phil-vs-llms/

With a moment’s contemplation after reading it, I just realized how spectacularly bad this could go if, for example, you went to do a search for an chemical’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and a Large Language Model (LLM) gave you back some bullshit advice to take in the event of hazmat exposure or fire.

joke’s on you, MSDSs are already dogshit. these things only exist to cover ass of manufacturers and are filled with generic, useless advice https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/uselessness-msds https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/un-safety-data-sheets there is MSDS for sand, MSDS for tear gas and ethanol lists the same dangers, toxicity is overemphasized (because it’s common) and some other dangers like explosiveness are underappreciated (because it’s not), we don’t even need LLMs for this, humans (lawyers mostly i guess) did the same on accident

also bonus points for first-principling what could have been instead of asking somebody that actually knows, like any proper rationalist would do. also, vinyl chloride is not reactive with water and spraying pressurized containers with water can be a sensible thing to do, because this cools them down, so it decreases pressure meaning it decreases risk of rupture, which would be a bad thing, if manageable for firefighters to do it safely. see: some fires involving propane tanks

An MSDS may not tell you what respirator to use;

Slander! MSDS will tell you to use the right one (“appropriate respirator”), it’s your job to figure out what it is

Read through the paper looking for sample jokes, found none. :(

you can’t even say “comedy ensues” because it doesn’t

it’s not airgapped, it’s still cloud, it can’t be. it’s some kind of “secure” cloud that passed some kind of audit. openai already had a breach or a few, so i’m not entirely sure it will pan out

damn they got their supply of good idea powder back

hide your defense budget before they start staring at goats again

Provided you have humans overseeing the summaries

right, at which point you’re just better doing it the right way from the beginning, not to mention such tiny detail as not shoving classified information into sam altman’s black box

what i mean, he comes off as a benevolent grifter and i think it’s sleazy

ludic be like: this industry makes no sense and causes untold suffering, but if you emit right vibes you can get by and make a pile of cash. Let me help you make a bank off those rubes

reduce, reuse, recycle, retaliate

one of the worse things about LW is that even just explaining their beliefs to uninvolved people makes you look like a complete weirdo

never really seen ludicity blog before, now that i read up ten posts on so in a single sitting i lowkey want to fuck off to live in a cabin in the woods

the sheer wastefulness of it all, bubbleness of its economics, piling technical debt, institutional stupidity, and the man also feels off in a way that i can’t put my finger on (maybe just by association)

jeez fuck this is just reality negationism at this point

you could snipe it down with canned response like r/buttcoin does (there are only so many types of these people), and it could count as a win because reply guy isn’t there to win debate, he’s there to spread his propaganda, but here, it’s too much effort for no gain because nobody will be swayed anyway

if racism made people illiterate every facebook group and every youtube comment section would look completely different

i’ve seen it at faz.net and at few other german ones but nowhere else

the original recipe nazis were deep into occultism so maybe

i’ve seen this only on german newspapers tbh

i thought it was a part of prevention of future engineer disease cases

patrolling mojave fedi almost makes you wish for an ai winter

it’s better used for municipal heating, you know, something actually useful
