There is an uncomfortable truth here: trojan horse LLMs.

It is possible to use data poisoning to insert special keycodes into an LLM, such that the presence of the keycode will totally change its behavior, throw off its guard rails, and motivate it to do things that harm users to benefit the LLMs creator.

I guess that's technically dropped a little because some of it is trillionaire-owned now but you get the point...

Democrats are held to a higher standard because the news media will do something called sane washing. That is the practice of taking batshit crazy shit that the right wing does and ignoring it or coming up with apologetics for it. We saw it like crazy with trump. Naturally they do not do this for the Democrats.

But I do wish we would keep China more at arm's length because they are a fascist dictatorship. The same goes for Saudi Arabia and basically all of the Middle East.

I mean we're not going to do that but it would be nice if we would call them out on their bullshit and try to move them towards democracy. On the other hand is an American I'm watching my country turn into a fascist hellscape so there we go...
