This is the problem. You say "speech is dangerous" and this is why it is important to have "freedom of speech". However, there is "a limit". ... Well, where is the limit? Who decides where to put the limit? I bet if some speech is dangerous to the "entrenched powers", the powers will make sure that the limit is well below that.

Do I believe that there is dangerous speech? Absolutely. Do I think this is a "hate speech"? No. What is it exactly? I have been seeing how really bad speech was consider a hate one, now we have moved the post so much that not agreeing with something is already considered "hate speech" which real possibility to become a criminal offense.

This is why, speech should be protected and no, there is no such thing as "hate speech", not if you think about it carefully. Absolutely, there are threats, there are calls for unrest, there are insults. But would it be better if we just call them what they are an treat them accordingly? "Hate speech" to me sounds a lot like "contr-revolution" in Soviet Russia long time ago. Nobody really knew what it meant, but it sure sent a lot of people to Gulag.

What about freedom of speech? Why would anybody come up with this idea if the words are "mightier than the sword"?

You can say anything you want, but unless there is somebody who actually does something. You words will be just vibrations in the air. The person who does it... well it was his / her decision to actually do this. This is really not that complicated.

EVERY time a civilian die it is a bad thing and true that the original responsibility of the war is by those that started it... but everyone that takes the decision to attack something and end kill civilians also have responsibility. War should not be kill everything that moves. No idea in this case who is right, but i know that is way too easy to order attacks and not care about the consequences

So... now you know how wars should or should not be fought, while sitting in the comfort of your arm chair... Right?

This just a horrific arrogance, self glorification and the most ridiculous virtue signaling that there is nothing to say. Really.

I hope that you try fighting a real war at some point and then will think about what you just recommended.

Absolutely. It is like Windows vs Linux, Bambu vs Creality. Whatever works for you.

However, there was a 3rd party attempt on making additional functionality for the printers, Bambu demanded to stop this. Effectively, they reduced your options with your printer. It may or may not be important. But I would take it as a troubling sign. What can they do next? Especially, that there was some bad publicity a year or two ago, already.

The responsibility for the actions of he user is on the user, not on the tool.

Nobody said it was on the tool, but sometimes, it is factually also on the provider of the tool. Pretending otherwise doesn't change the law. If the provider is negligent, they can share in responsibility. This is how things other than LLMs work, why not LLMs too?

Guns have safeties even though they can get in your way, for safety's sake. Equipment has lockouts. Most things come with warnings. Automobiles are starting to get automated guardrails like automatic braking and eventually won't allow you to e.g. steer into another vehicle, because it's feasible to prevent and there is a public safety interest. There's simply zero justification for the multi-billion dollar corporations producing and selling access to these LLMs to not institute some guardrails of their own.

I can agree with this. As we learn a tool we can learn how to make it better and safer. And we can also force the manufacturers to implement these measures by finding them negligent if they have not and fining them. Yes, this is how it works.

You could, but it is not a fool proof solution and it usually gets in the way and makes your tool inferior. Think about guns with finger print scanners. Has been tried but it is not there because it is not working good enough. You can issue warnings as much as you want but what are you going to achieve? Bad guy already knows that he is a bad guy, a good guy does not plan anythings bad, any warning will be a false positive. Tools are tools, they have to be efficient on what they do. The responsibility for the actions of he user is on the user, not on the tool.
