• Daily Megathread - 24/05/2023

• Perhaps It Is A Bad Thing That The World's Leading AI Companies Cannot Control Their AIs

  Like, what if I plug my ears with wax first? What if I physically commit myself to ignoring any argument that is too complex (say, by doing a randomly initialized thesaurus swap for any words all outputted text, requiring output be in simple language only, and then truncating all output to 200 characters?).

• Text Classification by Data Compression

  This comment only uses the ten hundred most used words and "xkcd" to give proper credit. Writing that uses such a small set of words will probably be easy to make smaller when you save it.
