Why is the giant tentacle monster in the desert? Someone should help the poor thing get back to the ocean before it dehydrates

Let me guess, its favorite band is sssssslayer

It’s a slam dunk case. Judges are famous for being easily swayed by frivolous semantic arguments from non-lawyers. It’s kind of like that old sci-fi trope of AIs being defeated when the hero states a logical paradox.

Somebody tell the sovcit that being a witness to their stupidity isn’t what the “witness” in “witness tampering” means.

Hate to defend a sovcit, but “unalienable” is a valid synonym of inalienable and was used in the Declaration of Independence

“just found these”? Like, did some random sovcit plant them? Or do they have amnesia and don’t remember putting them there?

Probably because the individual engineers working on Takeout care about doing a good job, even though the higher-ups would prefer something half-assed. I work for a major tech company and I’ve been in that same situation before, e.g. when I was working on GDPR compliance. I read the GDPR and tried hard to comply with the spirit of the law, but it was abundantly clear everyone above me hadn’t read it and only cared about doing the bare minimum.

There’s no financial incentive for them to make is easy to leave Google. Takeout only exists to comply with regulations (e.g. digital markets act), and as usual, they’re doing the bare minimum to not get sued.

“this is not an automated response” - honestly, I think this is one of the few situations where a company could be fully justified in forcing a customer to use ChatGPT for support, since that would free up the service reps to focus on helping the sane customers.

Reminds me of this:

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying the rich and powerful have a vested interest in not taking risks that jeopardize their power and wealth, because they have more to lose.

The reason these models are being heavily censored is because big companies are hyper-sensitive to the reputational harm that comes from uncensored (or less-censored) models. This isn’t unique to AI; this same dynamic has played out countless times before. One example is content moderation on social media sites: big players like Facebook tend to be more heavy-handed about moderating than small players like Lemmy. The fact small players don’t need to worry so much about reputational harm is a significant competitive advantage, since it means they have more freedom to take risks, so this situation is probably temporary.
