Prompt injection is harder than people believe.

Just try it on your own chatbot account. Your chat bot probably won’t fall for it.

And people here keep getting ruder and ruder for no reason. It’s not like I have any actual authority to make this happen.

I mean, you could have just said “I don’t like that idea because I’m not creative or innovative enough to contribute something of value that would be cited by others, so that would have prevented me for padding my resume with the stuff that I was able to produce.” That would have been much more courteous.

The woman didn’t sign a EULA with the vendor.

I would say your three reqs are met.

Both Sides™

Sue the software company for defamation.

Just being “quotable” isn’t going to get you cited (and thus paid). Your work has to be worth being quoted.

Right now, the vast vast majority of published academic work is absolute garbage that no one will ever care about. Even most of the people writing and publishing the garbage barely care about their own garbage. It’s just cranking gears to pad their resumes.

If we rewarded people for high value work, and incentivised cranking out garbage, then we would get more high value work.

And how will has that really worked?

Wouldn’t publishing a lot of quotation worthy work be better than publishing a lot of work that isn’t quotation worthy?

Just make sure they are really uncomfortable when they do it.

Right. And shouldn’t those people be compensated for their work?

Under my system, a reseacher would be incentivised to sue the publisher claiming their research should have been cited. If anything it would create “research trolls”.

However, a researcher could purchase professional insurance that would handle those claims.

Can’t or won’t?

I don’t deny that male friends can be toxic. What can be worse still is that the man does share these videos with his friends, and the videos themselves are toxic and reinforce toxic behaviors and thoughts, and the friends share affirmations with the man about the video. That happens a lot too.

That man is probably repeatedly sharing videos with the woman because he’s hoping that she returns the same affirmations that his friends do.

I’m just trying to explain the “urge” described in the meme. That’s all.

And at the same time either aggressively or passive aggressively making it clear to him that she is disinterested in the video, which is reinforcing the man’s understanding that she is also disinterested in whatever it was that he found interest in. (That’s literally the whole subtext of the meme.)

Just saying that men share their concerns and feelings differently than women. Men very often share concerns and feelings indirectly. If a guy is repeatedly sharing YouTube videos with the woman that the woman doesn’t find funny or interesting, there is probably a reason the man is sharing them. An active listening woman might ask the man something like “How do you feel about this video?”

Because the meme was literally about the dude.

Women: Men don’t know how to share their feelings.

Men: share feelings indirectly through content because it allows them to place some distance between themselves and their fear of criticism for having insecurities

Women: Gawd, I don’t care!

At the end of 7 years the car is fully depreciated. Optimistically it’s going to be worth 15-20% of the original value minus any necessary repairs. Legitimately, it could be worth less than zero.

Meanwhile, in that same time, you could have had 3 new cars with lower payments less maintenance issues.

Shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union in the 90s, I got an invite as part of the Boy Scouts to go to an international Scouting event in St. Petersburg.I got the special invite through my Uncle who is very involved in the Dallas area GOP and the Boy Scouts.

My parents went with me and during a hike we were taking on one of the mornings it started sprinkling. I was buddied up with a Russian child my age, I don’t remember his name but his father’s name was Rudolph, which I thought was funny.

Anyhow, Rudolph noted how he hated walking in the rain, and my dad commented about how this rain was nothing compared to the storms we have in Texas. Anyhow, the whole trip was kind of high emotion, and my father and Rudolph started arguing about what constitutes rain.

Eventually my mother got really embarrassed and shouted “Honey! I believe Rudolph the Red knows rain, dear!”

First of all, Tucker Carlson is a propaganda pawn for Russia. He should never be cited for any reason. If he “makes sense” is only because that position is momentarily useful to Russia.

Second, while the Rapture is an even bigger part of the post-WW2 evangelical theology than this article presents. To understand Baby Boomer American Evangelicals you have to understand that the world they grew up in really did look like the end times. Consider their lives: they grew up during a time of absolutely unprecedented middle class wealth, AND they had a new unprecedented national mass media/advertising system telling them they are really special (if they buy the right stuff), AND they are growing up in the shadow of the atomic bomb, AND F***ing Israel was refunded! So yeah, the message that Jesus was going to come back during their lives was damn convincing.

I’m their minds, 9/11 was supposed to be the great Armageddon war. And there just happened to be an evangelical in the white house to lead the war. Except it was a quagmire, which they could explain. Then a black man with African and Muslim names was elected president and they absolutely lost their minds. (Enter the tea party.)

And here is the real kicker that blows the minds of progressives: they know Trump isn’t Christian. In fact there is a not small minority of American evangelicals that voted for him because they believe he’s the Antichrist and that his ruinous presidency is necessary for Jesus’ return.
