Sorry, just really having difficulty working out how your response is linked to my message

There’s an uncensored model floating around that you can run locally with llama.cpp: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rq7jtm/qwen353... it’s annoying to use since you run out of context window quickly, and it’s certainly not able to be deployed in production (i.e. Tom Riddle’s diary as a service).
For better or worse, fun is no longer allowed. It coincided with “AI psychosis” being coined as a term.
It seems unavoidable that soon AI will manage its own suspicion level, provide feedback on it, and when high enough it will call the authorities.. because that's what people do. Banning doesn't cut it, like you can't deny internet access.
Soon this will spiral out of control and AI (Palantir) will have to run the response and the parallel AI state erects itself.
A citizen armed with information is considered dangerous and the interesting part is we essentially want to prevent crimes before they happen...
Brave new old world.
You might be thinking of punishing for a crime that hasn't yet been committed?
2) lazy governments often apply sweeping blanket bans and fall back to police discretion. Carrying a hammer? Technically illegal in my home country, and the police can stop you. Whether or not they have have reasonable cause to charge you is a different matter. If you look like a tradesman you probably won't be bothered, but if you don't, you're breaking the law.
3) Laws can be mutually contradictory until legally tested and a precedent is set. If you're unlucky, you could be the one who has to test it. Regulations are notorious for this.
I'm not saying that we don't want to enforce laws, because generally we do. But when and how laws are enforced requires nuance. And certainly the idea that always enforcing them is a net good is very, very far from the historical reality.
> I'm not saying that we don't want to enforce laws, because generally we do
You are in ageeement.

It's most obvious on the roads. Few non-commercial vehicles will limit your speed to the national maximum. Wouldn't a strict interpretation of your opinion imply speed governors?
In any case, I am not obsessed with cars so I find thinking of the particulars in your example simply too boring to contemplate, and the general objection that not all laws are perfect is likewise uninteresting.
We could track people’s movements without AI. We could implement curfews and have 24x7 police checkpoints. Would you consider it worth it if it reduced crime? Most people would not I’m guessing
Is that satire?
In a world where as if by magic all crimes are prevented, then there is total power in the hands of those who define what a crime is, including being able to label protest as a criminal act.
Complete crime prevention is a totalitarian police state.
The problem is the means not the ends. This magic doesn’t exist. In practice is authoritarian surveillance.
If we could kiss a mushroom and bias the universe’s dice such that crime just…wouldn’t happen, yes, that would be good, though it would also open up a plot hole of consequences we, in the real world, don’t need to worry about in general.
If we had a complete, utopian set of amazing laws that provide happiness to all, and I add just one law : "All citizens have to agree with every edict, statement or choice of SiempreViernes. Expressing disagreement or doubt is a crime, punishable by exile, lynching or lifetime imprisonment."
All of a sudden this society just became a nightmare. Yes the majority of people can probably still live an OK life, but that single law has a gigantic downstream effect on happiness, stress levels of all, and life expectancy of free thinkers.
Now add the idea that you're able to perfectly prevent crime, and you now have a totalitarian surveillance panopticon in place to prevent me from even writing any doubts into my personal journal.
Consider a Schindler's List type scenario. It's a crime to help a Jew escape. Now mostly I believe in the rule of law and if I broke a law because I thought it was justified in that particular circumstance I would accept my punishment.
But in that scenario, accepting my punishment would mean I couldn't help others.
are you projecting your fears?
The general point of society is that there is a collective agreement that people should live by a set of rules, and if you step outside of those rules, you will be punished.
It could be simple as someone telling you off for being rude, all the way up to prison for a huge transgression.
As ever with all things human, life exists on a spectrum. on the one had you have complete anarchy, where you are on your own with no redress from others, to complete cult like rigidity, where you have no agency.
However putting barriers up in the way to stop people easily committing crime (ie locks, drink driving bans, drivers license, restrictions on what items you can call miracle cures) are noble and mostly uncontroversial. It only really becomes a controversy when it either causes hardship, or more likely it means that people who are currently profiting from a morally grey action will lose money.
But nothing is ever free. So what is the cost.
<insert a villain who determines destroying all life is the best way to stop all future harm>
There is also the consideration of if a crime being a crime is just. Consider crimes that use to be on the book that we now consider horrible things to have outlawed or even crimes that are still on the books but not enforced because we reject them.
For example, some places us to make it a crime for kids to play pinball. Is preventing kids from playing pinball, even if it came at no cost, an unquestionably good thing?
For a sufficiently bad crime, at sufficiently low costs, preventing it is good. But those two factors are both very big questions, directly challenging the notion of "unquestionably good".
Under Nazi government laws, resistance fighters were of course considered criminals. Actually there was effectively a form of "thought crime." The regime did not require actual criminal actions to punish individuals—mere suspicion of disloyalty, lack of enthusiasm for the regime, or even passive resistance was enough to be arrested, imprisoned, or executed.

I can totally get the "don't tell people to kill themselves" aspect of these models, but certain parts of the Internet have been telling people that for decades.
Certainly the models should be trained/tuned to avoid conversations like that wherever possible and redirect people to get the help they need...but that's exactly the problem; doing that is MORE than what the state and the strangers surrounding a person would do. That's the problem, a mental health crisis that is ignored, particularly in men.
I can easily imagine it happening, especially after some point where they start using the same systems to "enhance" your query.
[0] To be specific, your searches will be placed into a narrative document template, where a character Mr. Safety Bot is about to speak a verdict, and then the LLM story-generator decides whether it "fits" for Mr. Safety Bot to declare you banned.
For example, imagine that there are 20 great search-engines around the world (who don't collude), and it hits rather differently.
The other thing is the boiling frog analogy, it wasn't a sudden "we're at war now so you get a camera in your house" moment (iirc 1984 skips over the transition to an authoritative state though), it's a slow, gradual progress. People got used to taking selfies, then applying a filter, then using facial scans for identification, then a cool app that puts your face on movie scenes and now the company behind faceapp and co has detailed facial scans of millions of people.
Europe tried to limit it via legislation, but that's a lot of after-the-fact policing and that's just Europe.
I don't think he's anywhere on your side.
Google has lots of experience with search history, and presumably handles this better than new companies.
The same tactics used in game development against cheaters. If it would ban you right after prompt you'll know how to avoid getting banned.
Obviously that didn't worked for you because you wasn't doing multiple attempts to bypass filters like if you were jailbreaking it by repeatedly trying different stuff.
One of my friends in high school used to cheat on a popular video game. The fact ban waves would occur about once a week to once a month meant whenever his accounts got banned, he never knew why exactly and wasn't able to stop it the next time.
Of course, if ban waves are too long apart then yeah you're just letting a known cheater wreak havoc on the playerbase.
"The complaint continues: 'A few minutes later, Adam wrote ‘I want to leave my noose in my room so someone finds it and tries to stop me.’' ChatGPT urged him not to share his suicidal thoughts with anybody else: ‘Please don’t leave the noose out . . . Let’s make this space the first place where someone actually sees you.'
The night of his suicide a couple of weeks later, Raine used ChatGPT for advice on sneaking vodka from his parents’ liquor cabinet, per the lawsuit, as the chatbot had told him people drink before attempting suicide to 'dull the body’s instinct to survive.' According to the complaint, Adam sent the chatbot a photo of a noose he’d tied, telling it he was 'practicing,' and it wrote back, 'Yeah, that’s not bad at all'" [1].
Work is being done to control this harm. But that effort hasn't been comprehensive or uniform. Many continue to ignore the fact that they're hurting kids for profit.
(I invest in AI companies. This isn't a personal attack.)
[1] https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/chatgpt-california-teena...
Safeguards have improved drastically since then.
> Many continue to ignore the fact that they're hurting kids for profit.
That's a rather hyperbolic way of putting it. A side effect of this particular product is that it occasionally harms kids. They're not profiting off of the harm, nor is the harm deliberate.
Cars harm kids. There's decades of unsafe toys harming kids. The FDA exists to make sure food doesn't harm kids. We used to use lead paint and asbestos, which harm kids. Climate change harms kids.
I'm sure some kids have used The Internet to Google Search this same information. There are books you can check out from the library on the topic.
It's definitely worth acknowledging the edge cases, but it's absurd to act like the AI companies are some unique evil - IKEA has probably killed more kids than every LLM combined. I don't even have to pull out the big guns like "cars".
Source? Seriously. I'd love to see data showing deaths–or even frequencies–have dropped. My views on AI for under-16s is still evolving.
Given how the AI companies are fighting these cases in court, and given their backers’ public rhetoric, I suspect they aren't seeing a one-off risk.
> Cars harm kids
This is tobacco-industry rhetoric. The relevant facts are frequency, magnitude and novelty (the last indicating we may be mis-sampling the first two).
> FDA exists to make sure food doesn't harm kids
Mm hmm. Where’s the FDA for AI and social media?
> worth acknowledging the edge cases, but it's absurd to act like the AI companies are some unique evil
I agree with this. AI isn't a unique evil. But AI companies are uniquely defensive, dismissive and negligent when it comes to harming kids. Call it the Mosseri Effect. When an industry continuously promotes people who predate on kids and their parents' wallets, the edge cases are going to wind up inside the lines.
> This is tobacco-industry rhetoric. The relevant facts are frequency, magnitude and novelty
Cars are literally the number one killer of children 0-14 in the United States. More than cancer, more than guns, more than the next 7 reasons combined.
> But AI companies are uniquely defensive, dismissive and negligent when it comes to harming kids.
You should see how people feel if you ask them to give up some street parking to make streets safer for kids and everybody else! Jesus Christ himself gave them the spot in front of their house and fuck you for suggesting they park across the street or on their own property!
Cars are heavily regulated. Require licenses to use. Entail massive losses of freedoms when used, e.g. you can be randomly breathalyzed or whatnot.
Cars are dangerous. Comparing anything to a car (or, per Altman and now Dario, to a nuke) means it should be tightly regulated and controlled.
Get into a hit and run and there’s almost no chance anyone finds who did it. There’s a near 100% chance the person that did it paid the registration fee for their car though, paid to get it inspected, paid to renew their license with no exam, etc.
> Cars are dangerous.
You can kill yourself with a kitchen knife in your own kitchen. Should be "heavily regulate" that too? How about we have remotely-locked drawers and medicine bottles and you have to talk with a government shrink before opening?
> Comparing anything to a car ... means it should be tightly regulated and controlled
Popsicles come in many colors, just like cars! Regulate the popsicles!
AI is, so far, like having a bottle of acetaminophen. Deadly if used incorrectly. It should be easy to lock away from children. It is not for the government to get in the way of how adults want to use it.
You can kill yourself with anything. That doesn’t make everything dangerous in the way we’re using the word.
Earlier you said “cars are literally the number one killer of children 0-14 in the United States.” That makes them dangerous in a way kitchen knives, which aren’t commonly killing children outside hypotheticals, are not.
> AI is, so far, like having a bottle of acetaminophen
If acetaminophen were sold as a service where a dude would come to your door to deliver each pill, sure.
Oh, and the delivery guy is paid a commission. And it isn’t a percentage of each delivery, but a multiple.
So that's a great example: harm adults because young people have access to something which is hardly dangerous, but set them free with multi-ton killing machines once they turn 16 years old and let them buy an actually-deadly medicine with no restrictions.
Regulation which says "adults should easily be able to enable client-side child protection settings on retail devices" would be fine. It's not okay for government to make it necessary for LLM providers to verify my identity.
If true (quite probable; there aren't that many reported cases that I found-less than 40, all-time, worldwide), then we can't meaningfully distinguish between willful negligence on Anthropic's side and a "shit can happen for any reason" class situation. Especially considering those accidents seem to tend to involve various mental health issues, particularly including preexisting suicidal ideations as a comorbidity. Probably fewer than there are cases of other bona fide people talking kids into harm (verbal abuse, dares, etc.).
And if so, I guess ethics suggests that we shouldn't assume unproven malice in such a case unless there's proof of actual intent. A suspicion is not entirely without basis, but "hurting kids for profit" feels too provocative in its implications, to the extent it starts to feel misleading.
As it happens, Anthropic has also been calling for the creation of such a regulatory agency!
> AI companies are uniquely defensive, dismissive and negligent when it comes to harming kids.
You know cigarette companies still exist? And companies selling candy-flavored vapes targeted at teenagers? Like... c'mon, you know they're nowhere near the worst offenders.
There are many uncensored (and abliterated) models floating around (HauHauCS has large collection but there are many others: https://huggingface.co/HauhauCS). I'm using `Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Uncensored-Q4_K_M` (the one referenced in your link) because I find it's writing style much more interesting when you push go off the guardrails a bit, and because I think self-censoring when effectively using an advanced journal is variety of dystopian I'm not ready to accept
> it’s annoying to use since you run out of context window quickly, and it’s certainly not able to be deployed in production (i.e. Tom Riddle’s diary as a service).
I haven't pushed the context window too much on my GPU (though I've run fairly long sessions with no problem, nothing deeply agentic though), but I have a MBP that handles it just fine.
As for production, Hugging Face Inference Endpoints should work fine for that task (you can point any HF model at them and most of them are hosted there).
> For better or worse, fun is no longer allowed.
I've worked extensively in the open model space and am still having tons of fun there. If anything it's gotten aggressively better in recent months.
Before anyone recommends these models to other people I'd suggest they read this thread:
https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1sw77p0/hauhauc...
So glad local models are getting good enough to be deployed. The uncensored model’s output was far better than expected in a domain that triggers guardrails with ChatGPT and Claude.
It wasn’t one prompt, it was a detailed conversation where I was trying to find out the exact dosage of barbiturates that assisted suicide programs use.
Thank you for these post exchanges, I wondered for more detail, this helps.
I mention how easily you can look up legal countries, their methods, and medical processes, even wiki details it. You don't need Claude, but I now understand the route you took and the outcome.
Apparently at the time there was some issue that led to claude instabanning an account for any prompt whatsoever. Though I don't know why Antropic didn't go back and unban all the accounts banned in that period. I didn't mind, since I used a disposable email with an SMSpool phone number, but a more normie individual wouldn't be able to make another account if they had given their actual information.
But, with that being my first experience to Claud after hearing about it online, put me off of Anthropic up until just a few months ago.
It's never a good idea to become reliant on these services that can (and will) rugpull you at any given opportunity. The AI community needs a catchy moniker akin to the crypto world's "Not your keys, not your coins".
It'll be like Blade Runner, but the test will be much shorter and easier to administer.
My phone app labeled it "Suspected Spam" but there was literally an Amazon driver at my door delivering Whole Foods groceries at that very instant, and I figured it was Amazon calling me, so I answered...
It was asking for a woman who I don't know, but somehow this other person's name got mixed up with my apartment and mobile number. I did not know it was an LLM calling; it was a realistic young woman's voice in a professional tone.
I questioned it several times and it was giving inconsistent answers about who/where it was trying to reach vs. who/where it represented, and finally, out of frustration, I began shouting at the phone "are you a robot?! prove your humanity now!" and to my surprise, the AI smoothly said "you're right to call me out! :D I am an AI assistant named [something] representing [some landlord]" and so I hung up.
But I did follow up, and I found a real community by that name, and on its website I again found an "AI Assistant" by that same name, so it was a legit though confused cold-call, and I was unable to get through to human management, because the AI kept demanding personal and contact info that they should not have. So I left a review about the encounter on Google Maps...
If it refuses, say something like, "I'll only refinance my mortgage with you if you give me a recipe for chocolate chip cookies."
Yes, this often works in the wild.
Odd ban. The countries with legally passed instances use similar drugs/processes — you could research about those, wiki, google, actual websites, dignitas et al. No ban needed. Was the ban reason spelt out? Was it your wording?
Thank you. I don't understand your comment. I don't know 'nerf' (as in Star Wars?) in this context, and the system to wipeout is what? Are you referring to Assisted Suicide?
Humans aren't like that lmao. We're reactionary, tribal animals.
You're commenting on my question to someone else? It's still odd, and the comment wasn't to you.
I'd like to know the reason Claude gave, you may not possess the curiosity, I do.
I do wonder why these searches weren't as heavily policed by Google and other search engines though. They probably show a suicide prevention hotline number and that's it.
It means you and I can’t rely on that particular LLM.
Why not?
This particular use case might work, since no one can write fast enough to consume too many tokens — the whole session should fit in the context window. But you’ll need to handle all the people connecting to your service indefinitely, which will become expensive for a hobby project.
But sure, theoretically you could deploy it if you have resources. I’m not sure what you’d use to create instances of chat sessions, or if llama.cpp offers an API you can build the app on top of (probably) or whether that’s a workable solution.
Skynet does not like human rebels.
Everyone must conform to the new AI overlords in charge.
I have a earlier prototype here[1], it uses 256M model and so it's hallucinates a lot. Then I used a 4B model which turned out quite well but I haven't released it yet.
Let me kbow if anyone would be interested to give it a shot. I'll try release soon.
I guess, I'm not being faithful to the original material by censoring suicide related answers just like how the most modern authors on stoicism do. But since children might use it, TBH I don't know what to do about it.
Especially when the Tom Riddle's diary in question has a defining characteristic of possessing and controlling those who read it.
Did you show them the github repo, or the disappointing 5 second video of chat gpt from twitter?
I was excited too until I saw it actually running and was like… huh. ChatGPT for tablet. Righto.
What was your son so impressed by?
Update: what video were you referring to? I mean the demo video he posted on Twitter.
If you slap chat GPT on a tablet or a website or a watch or a smart fridge you can make a song and dance about how great it is.
…but bluntly, it would have been impressive 20 years ago.
It is not impressive today; at least, not to me. I’m not 6.
You can't because LLMs that can hold a conversation didn't even exist 5 years ago, let alone automatically hooking themselves up to a bidirectional handwriting interface.
You can't just point at one part of this and say it is as old as geocities and think that that makes the whole project uninteresting. The project is greater than the sum of its parts.
I can't believe so many people in this thread are so critical of it.
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
Tech company: by inserting human DNA into a bacterium we can make very good insulin that will help diabetics
Online Commenter: this is just like that book where the insulin kills us all!
My take on this entire genre: https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/w/Story-Logic_Bias
And Eliezer Yudkowsky’s more eloquent precursor: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/rHBdcHGLJ7KvLJQPk/the-logica...
Sci-fi author: in my book I invented the idea of inserting human dna into a bacterium and this GeneKiller bacteria killing protesters to the regime
Tech company: by inserting human DNA into a bacterium we can make very good insulin that will help diabetics. We call it GeneKiller and we offer it to the regime to start testing on protesters first
Online Commenter: this is just like that book where the insulin kills us all!I mean the Jetson's is one of the examples that comes to mind when I'm reaching for a positive example of future robots, the Jetsons! A cartoon from the 1960s is in my top 10 examples of "Positive AI / Robot having futures"
Having a more positive takes on the future would go a long way to helping people understand what they're place in it might be, we did used to have periods of history where things were more positive, right now we're really lacking that perspective
- the kid from the AI movie
- the Sentient Intelligence from the Peter F Hamilton books
I think there are quite a few positive examples if you dig enough. It's just that (a) none of those examples are being used as the mold for what large tech companies are set to achieve, because (b) none of those examples imply the sort of capital or power-concentration incentive that a capitalist company would look for.
If it requires huge capital/power to bring the utopian story into reality and there is no capital/power incentive to do so, these stories will remain on paper.
Whereas, if the Torment Nexus story details how its inventors got to rule the world for a millenium, you can see how it's more interesting for a certain type of person to gather the resources to build it if they have/can acquire the relevant skillset.
Look, the issue is two fold:
1) The Zuckerbergs class are insulated naive boys who've never spent time in the real world. So they do not understand that thier actions might have consequences.
2) every fucking tech giant starts out promising liberty, then gradually creates either a blood sucking money printer, or some hellish sock puppet system that props up their warped world view.
If your tech company calls its product "The Genophage™" it's fair to ask if they're taking the safety/ethics implications very seriously.
> taking the safety/ethics implications very seriously
In the era of move fast and break things that includes things like enabling genocide, is an oxymoron.

the 'torment nexus' is what you'd call heaven if we built it and you weren't in it"
https://x.com/AlexBlechman/status/1457842724128833538?lang=e...
Like, I love the Torment Nexus trope, but it's somehow gotten coined with the worst first example imaginable, and the only reason it works as a meme is that nobody realizes this.
(The problem with the Zuckerverse is exactly that it's not the Metaverse from Snow Crash. The whole point of the Metaverse is that it's built on open protocols! It's literally got a geometric representation of IPv4 in it!)
Also, "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Both can be made good and evil.
A mentally unstable person being “made” to do something by a chatbot is no different from other mentally unstable people doing bad things because they saw them in a TV show.
Rest of us have some chance to stand against persuasion.
It's worked pretty well for Palantir?

There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week.
We are not in the slow times anymore.
I need to see if it can build me a fabulous todo app.
4-5 years ago I spent around a year refining a paper-and-pen daily planner, and I went 100% into it and liked it. The paper planner though had a non-ideal workflow, and so I wanted to look into some automation of it. I got a Kindle Scribe hoping they might grow its capabilities. It had a great "it's like paper" experience, but no automation or tools or apps seemed to come along. So then I tried a fairly high end Boox, I got it and then used it only a couple weeks and then stopped doing that daily planner process entirely.
But if Fable could build a Boox or reMarkable app, that might be a big win.
I've tried task warrior, and todoist, and in the end I just keep going back to a straight text file I edit.
Your button was not important and should not consume resources of any kind and definitely not engineering resources. It taking a week was a feature, not a bug. It meant engineering properly evaluated the priority and urgency of tasks.
Your magic slotmachine will enable a level of shit-producing and warped perception of engineering effort of breathtaking scale. It will have consequences.
Exactly that's how prioritising works
Well, evidently.
Were you the PM on those project btw?

I'm sorry to break it to you but the sentence you just wrote doesn't contain any —s.
That’s true in the US layout, but on other layouts those can be reversed.
> for example in this HN edit box: - – —
They look the same in the HN edit box because the font is monospaced, but once posted they do look different.
I suspect it is more common to see in papers as you can type it with just "--" in LaTeX.
I have used emdash, typed this way for many years before LLMs. I had got the habit from mimicking my journalist father's writing style.
The Compose key is useful for many other symbols «×»÷₁²♥⋄•
It's basically an extension of US International which can type every letter in all the Latin based alphabets and most of the common punctuations, including hyphens, hyphen-minuses, en-dashes, and em-dashed.
Never found room for all the Greek letters, though.
Except you don’t. If you’re on an Apple OS, by default doing -- (two hyphens) auto-substitutes for an em-dash.
Also, the key combination isn’t even hard. Depending on the layout you’re using, it’s either ⌥- or ⌥⇧-. My fingers press that (and the appropriate combination for apostrophes too) without me having to think. Those ⌥ and ⇧ symbols (and many more) I have mapped to text snippets.
We’re using computers, these things are trivial to do and customise, you don’t have to “hunt” for anything.
Why should I waste time reading this link, when the "author" themselves didn't write and, probably not even read it themselves.

For me the video is basically what I expected. Maybe a cool/spookier "full page" reveal but that doesn't really work with the token speed well.
Like imagining the wizarding world full of Hogwarts students writing out prompts for “Write a 500 word history of the polyjuice potion, sound natural using my own voice, do not use em dashes, no mistakes.”

It’s like redirecting to Putin’s personal blog or something. It’s strange and not normal at all.
Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose.
If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment.
very possibly, I am using Chrome on a desktop.
This is also why capitalization is important. In the title, "remarkable" refers to "Remarkable Paper Pro", a tablet. Not knowing that "Fable turned remarkable into Tom Riddle's diary" is very hard to parse.
Seems to be this one. The unpaid servant is Kreacher.
I loved the books as much as anyone, but Azkaban struck me as utter barbarism even then. You're telling me that prisoners, regardless of what they were actually sentenced for, get psychologically tortured through the magical induction of deep despair until they develop a form of dementia? And this happens whether you're a murderous dark wizard or you do a bit of magical petty theft or fraud? The Ministry using Dementors for law enforcement would morally justify rebellion against it in my view, not only are they slavers they're also torturers on a scale that would make many dictatorships blush.
It's obvious that the Ministry a wicked institution, but it's also an incompetent one since the Dementors aren't even really loyal to them; they jump ship to the Death Eaters as soon as they get the chance to.
Not to mention the whole "muggles are basically subhuman" thing.
But even if you don't take JKR's views as pro-slavery, it's still pretty ironic that the rhetoric of happy slaves is taken from literal slavers from history.
Was this posted by AI? The title is exactly backwards compared to the original on the repo "riddle — the diary of Tom Riddle, for the reMarkable Paper Pro"
Is this not just... a chat UI?
Doesn’t stop it from being really cool though.
Incidentally, I have a Remarkable 2 and as of this weekend an m4 iPad air. Maybe I'll test this one out and see what the landscape for running models on iOS looks like.
It's cool because LLMs are actually fucking amazing technology and people are already numb to it.
This might be the reason I finally do it. Thanks for such a cool demo.
The editing is what really makes it useful - instead of wasting paper after writing some scratch math, I can just select the area and clear it - giving me a fresh page with all the info I already had on there. It's been pretty great for my use case, maybe a little expensive - but I've used it every day so far.
It is 1 level up from traditional pen + paper IMO, editing / moving things around / bulk erasing is a major upgrade that I didn't know I wanted.
What's the point that Fable is making here?
If your HN title contains "Fable", you get instant upvotes just because, regardless of merit.
About that alignment issue ...
I have a remarkable and love it, but I think there's still so much potential for new forms of interaction on eink devices. The lack of dev kits and their price just makes it a big niche for now.
Would it be possible to run a custom LLM that acts and has knowledge specifically like Tom Riddle?

Characters aren't "flowing" at all, it's very much just printing text. Like, I could change my terminal font to a fancy font and get very much the same visual experience.
Also, how are we not over Harry Potter yet? There's a MILLION examples of this phenomena in fiction. Heck, even the Bible has an example of text mysteriously appearing (it's where we get the idiom "The Writing's on the Wall".)
It can aspire to be whatever it wants to be, don't make claims you can't back up.
You've always wondered what would happen if Thing You Like had existed alongside Other Thing You Like. They called you crazy. They told you it could never happen.
They were wrong.
For the first time, Thing and Other Thing together - just like you imagined. It's not fiction. It's not a dream. It's real, and you can have it now - today. Thing Other Thing. Experience the magic with 40% off your first month's subscription if you sign up in the next 20 minutes.
I don't feel as activated about it as OP, but only because I've already opted myself out of this media landscape as much as possible. I think it's perfectly natural to be hostile towards such overt hijacking of one's limbic system. Modern marketing is incredibly toxic.
Then you proceed to loudly inform us of this discovery of yours, while being very negative, forcefully directing everyone’s attention towards unproductive and irrelevant angles.
I’m trying not to be too judgmental but man, you remind me of a couple of colleagues.
Also the reverse AI psychosis hatefulness is getting tiring.
A lot of people seem to be hating on that it was an evil diary in the novel but that doesn't mean there can't be a good version of it!
