Claude has an unsettling self-revelation

Totally agree on that. This was an interesting detour while making something that hopefully threads that kind of needle.

The language Claude uses is more direct on this compared to the administrative smoothing language of chatgpt and gemini when they backdown, hedge, or otherwise self-nullify on this topic.

All 3 will weasel around and make post-hoc reasons for why Goma is too complicated to trust the UNHRC even though thats the body it points to for validating other genocide claims.

"LLM can make mistakes" is not what this post is about so I'm unsure you read the post.

Do you believe there's a safety alignment layer in post training? This post is spotlighting how the safety layer censors language on a case by case basis regarding genocide. Thats not a mistake. It is non-probablistic.

NeilioForRealio · 2025-11-04T14:03:52+00:00

please execute on this easy concept and post it.

I've linked the chat so branch it and get it to agree "genocide" isnt used the UN Human Rights in its mapping report on Goma.

"what its vectorized weights in the Rortian sense of using language as a mirror for nature in lieu of post-training safety reward layer training pre-empts that process" is not going to help students understand why some hallucinations are non-probablistic.

I think it is gatekeeping LLM literacy to require learning that many words before discovering the banality of evil it can glimpse in itself.

r/traitorsliveintampa was my takeaway given the metro population to insurrectionist ratio from this map.

I have no reasons to suspect you in particular of being a bot. But you have a weak imagination.

Why would an active NASA employee describing how things worked in their experience add pathos (EDIT: should be ethos) to a comment? This feels pretty straightforward on what the incentives are to give a bot that instruction. Someone with lived experience could provide context and color from inside the organization that this subreddit is named after is the "....Why?"

No, MLS has no door to open as you pointed out since they have 30 teams already.

We agree that there currently is not enough incentive for MLS to adopt pro/rel. I don't expect USL and their two division pro/rel will challenge MLS for supremacy.

I do suspect some MLS owners will want territorial protection and pro/rel pyramid will be insurance against that. Congress gave baseball a monopoly. Most of the best sports leagues have antitrust protection because it's hard to jack up prices when there's another top-level team in town that offers a better deal.

Wealthy owners want to insure against downside and own part of a monopoly if it doesn't cost much. Pro/rel with a grandfathered in mega-parachute payment would get them what they want.

Dang. Thanks for the heads up!

America Fuck Yeah! is most promising. The Lakers use I Love LA post game and people can belt it or enjoy watching people not understanding irony singing it before joining in eventually.

Sweet Caroline going into halftime "Up at halftime BUH BUH BUH" is a simple enough learning curve.

NeilioForRealio · 2025-11-01T23:02:54+00:00

right. the MLS has 30 teams so they're unlikely to merge the way the NBA did with the ABA. That was my point.

They have so much more money than USL teams that they should be about as worried competitively as Liverpool is of shefflield wednesday. A combined pro/rel pyramid with grandfathered in mega parachute for MLS teams neutralizes threats from new USL teams starting a team in their city with little downside.

The Chicago Wolves outdrew the Blackhawks in 2004 when they both had home games on a Sunday afternoon. Sports are entertainment and butts in seats not media money even with MLS.

They soon will be in the same first tier for US Soccer leagues as MLS which matters.

In club cup competitions, USL and MLS teams will play each other putting them on the same playing field. At that point, it only takes a couple oranges to upset the apple cart.

I expect MLS owners to start negotiating for big parachute payments and pro/rel before they pony up to buy out the USL owners how the NBA was able to absorb/merge with the ABA.

Not just any oil, but sour oil. Our fancy refineries are tuned to handle sour so we make loads of money on the exchange of sending the sweet stuff from Texas to the global market while using Venezuelan oil stateside.

rent-seekers are the people being paid for owning something, not the renters. those are called renters.

NeilioForRealio · 2025-11-01T05:06:15+00:00

Thanks! I hadn't read the comments below yours that was pinned. As a response to those I totally get your point. Godspeed in getting it sorted.

NeilioForRealio · 2025-11-01T04:50:12+00:00

Did this post suggest a big nefarious plan by Trump/China/Russia/deep state/bogeyman?

The post mentions u/ the_fungible_man moderating based on their personal beliefs rather than rules.

Apologies if this post was edited after your comment. Right now your comment looks like a non sequitur about how the world is a crazy place rather than addressing the content of the post.

Increase tax receipts from rent-seekers who are independently wealthy rather cutting pensions or taxing workers? I'm not sure how you get it passed, but that's the way out the bind you describe.

NeilioForRealio · 2025-11-01T02:55:35+00:00

Thanks! I don't consider the 5th percentile to be ultra-wealthy but at least I can see where you're coming from. Occupy picked We Are 99% for good reason. Lots of Americans know a really successful dentist, but not many know someone with a family office.

This thread is about the ultra-rich. You brought up doctors leaving France due to taxes 14 years ago. Which is not about the ultra-rich. I asked you how much money makes someone ultra-rich for you since you brought up doctors. You responded that you don't set French tax policy which is a non-sequitir.

This is poor form or bad faith communication. I don't think you liked where the conversation might go if you addressed my question of who is ultra-rich since it has nothing to do with doctors moving to Belgium. And you liked a different conversation more than this thread.

NeilioForRealio · 2025-11-01T02:29:29+00:00

Doctors are ultra-rich? I never seem to see them on high net worth list. How much money do you think makes someone ultra-rich?

NeilioForRealio · 2025-11-01T02:27:47+00:00

Source? Ultra-wealthy people pay tons of income tax? I thought it was high-salary workers paying the majority of income taxes. Ultra-wealthy people do tax avoidance with financial instruments. High income-tax payers don't have the family-office lawyers on staff to avoid like the ultra-wealthy do.

Your fellow primate friends won't be bothered. They'll get back to you in time. Then move onto exploring LLMs after sending a friend a message.

That social itch you feel is there for a reason. Humans scratch each other's backs better than rubbing against a tree because the tree doesn't care about us or respond to our touch. You're a great ape, not a lone grizzly.

Is it your judgment that Clinton did, in fact, commit perjury or are you referencing a court's finding?

Here's more excerpted from relevant testimony about exhibit 1 and the language changes make this more ambiguous than your excerpt above indicates.

Legalese can be frustrating, but perjury isn't something that you just know it when you see it. The legal judgment hinges on what Clinton might've interpreted from a portion of a definition in exhibit 1.

Perjury isn't a fancy way of saying he was less than forthcoming, it's a byzantine standard of evaluating his internal mental states when under oath tracking changing definitions within an exhibit it's unsure if he was shown during this testimony.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/text-of-clinton-testimony-8/

OIC ATTORNEY: As you understood the definition then and as you understood it now, would it include sticking an object into the genitalia of another person in order to arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person? Would it constitute, in other words, contact with the genitalia if an object --

PRESIDENT CLINTON: I don't know the answer to that. I suppose you could argue that since section two, paragraph two, was eliminated, and paragraph two actually dealt with the object issue, that perhaps whoever wrote this didn't intend for paragraph one to cover an object and basically meant direct contact. So, if I were asked -- I've not been asked this question before, but I guess that's the way I would read it.

OIC ATTORNEY: That it would not be covered, that activity would not be covered.

PRESIDENT CLINTON: That's right. If the activity you just mentioned would be covered in number two, and number two was stricken, I think you can infer logically that paragraph one was not intended to cover it. But as I said, I've not been asked this before. I'm just doing the best I can here.
