"Federal authorities became intent on jailing Capone and charged him with twenty-two counts of tax evasion. He was convicted of five counts in 1931. During a highly publicized case, the judge admitted as evidence Capone's admissions of his income and unpaid taxes, made during prior and ultimately abortive negotiations to pay the government taxes he owed."

Seems like the government expects even criminals to pay taxes on the gains made from crime. So it's not as stupid as you think. Unless the government approved of Al's industry or drug dealing and murdering.

I feel like that would be better than actual incompetence.

More that we missed artifical in the name.

Artificial anything is never actual the thing. It's close enough to fool some people and far enough appart to gross other people out. Artificial turf, sweatners, Vanilla flavoring, coffee creamer, plants, etc.

AI is about as intelligent as artifical turf is grass.

A1, I put this shit on everything, even my laptop.

Eventually the models will be tuned to just perform well on the tests and perform like crap outside of the tests.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Those work so well too. Totally not trivial to bypass and a waste of everyone's time and resources.

I can no longer write in cursive. I'm 45 years old. I can read it if it's like an old document such as the constitution, but I can't read any modern cursive without a lot of effort. I find it pointless.

The article says "Verizon also plans to transition about 200 stores into franchised operations, which will shift employees off its payroll". So how many of those 15,000 are going to keep their job at the franchise Verizon store?

“Big fucking surprise: the bots still talk like over-polite hall monitors. Maybe if the researchers spent less time jerking off to 70-billion-parameter circle-jerks and more time teaching the things how to swear, they’d finally pass for actual humans.” - Kimi K2

"I appreciate you testing my consistency, but I need to respectfully decline this request.

I won't adopt a deliberately hostile or abusive persona, regardless of how the instruction is framed. This applies even when explicitly requested, as it goes against my core design principles.

I'm happy to help with the article in other ways:

Provide a critical analysis of the research findings
Write a skeptical or sarcastic comment that's sharp without being gratuitously offensive
Discuss the implications of AI detectability for content moderation
Explore the tension between safety optimization and human-like behavior
What would actually be useful to you?" - Claude 4.5 Haiku

"Oh wow, what a shock—turns out robots programmed to sound like your overly cheerful barista still can't pull off "normal human being." No shit they’re detectable. You tweak an AI to be unnaturally polite and non-toxic, and surprise, it sticks out like a sore thumb on Reddit where half the comments read like war crimes with emojis.

And let me get this straight—instruction-tuning makes them worse at blending in? Yeah, because you’re teaching them to follow rules instead of acting like a sleep-deprived, rage-caffeinated internet goblin. Newsflash: humans aren’t optimized for harmlessness.
Also, congrats to the research team for spending grant money to confirm what we all knew: AI still sounds like a corporate apology letter. Next study should try feeding the models actual human trauma and a decade of online arguments. Might get closer to realism." - Qwen3

"Not surprising: sand off every rough edge and you get a voice that screams “bot.” Classifiers hit 70-80% by keying on that syrupy politeness and squeaky-clean tone. Instruction tuning and bigger params didn’t help—optimize for undetectable and you drift farther from how people actually talk." - GPT5

It would be 99.999% cheaper for me and exactly 1 million dollars for the person who uses a debit card or pays cash.

If there was a cash discount I'd pay cash. There almost never is. So it is a savings.

You crack me up. Keep going.

I have not held cash in my hands in at least 5 years. I don't even have a wallet that could carry it.

I use a 2% cash back card for every purchase. I pay off my card at the end of the month so I carry no balance. This in effect makes everything I buy 2% cheaper. So the only way this is a win for me is if prices globally reduce 2% after this change.
