I didn't realise I had. I have written many posts critiquing the danger of LLMs deployed in the way they are, and this is part of research that will be added to yet another post.
Sorry if I appeared trivializing.

Thank you! I will fix asap.

Fixed now. Don't know how that happened, I'm usually very meticulous about this as my surname often gets a wrong spelling. đ
Thanks again for pointing it out.

It's true. I've made a clip from that movie, with the quote, in the blog post I'm writing.
@cfiesler Exactly. I was aware it wasn't in the Alice book when I started asking but was blown away by where it ended up.
I'm using it in a blog post to make some of the points you brought up đ
Ironically this quote I wanted to use in the intro became an example in itself of the original intent of the blog post. đ
@ChrisJKelly Thank you!!! đ
This was my first time down a "literal rabbit hole". đ
In a blog post about ChatGPT I wanted to use the quote "It would be so nice if something would make sense for a change.", attributed to the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol.
So â in doing my due diligence and being curious about its context â I've been downloading several editions of the book and have found nothing like this quote in any of them. One of the most famous quotes from the book doesn't seem to appear in it.
Which is so incredibly apt for a blog post about ChatGPT. Anyway I'm still on the hunt for where that quote actually appears (my guess is one of the many Alice movies).
To be continued.
And oh my. Of course it struck me to see what would happen if ChatGPT was used to find this quote from Alice in Wonderland. The tool proceeds to tell med which chapter the quote is in and quotes pages and pages from the book, without the quote. It takes me a number of prompts to help the tool respond that the quote is in fact not in the book...
Full convo here... you can scroll past all the quotes from the book and see my prompts and responses:

Wow have I been sidetracked here but the metaphor for what I'm writing about is just sp eerily spot on. Plus this is one of my favorite books... đ So of course it delivers.
I went as far as I could with ChatGPT trying to track down that Alice in Wonderland quote. It finally made up a passage in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and attributed it to Douglas Adams. Which of course is completely false. But the conversation is very apt for a bizarre rabbit hole wonderland experience.

So the post I was originally working on at the start of this thread, where Alice in Wonderland was intended to play only a small part, is now published.

@fyrfli Yes, it would appear populist homophobia has kept many politicians in power.

âBy donning a second-hand hat, a 74-year-old man is about to become monarch of a small island kingdomâ
As expected, the best reporting on todayâs coronation comes from @thecontinent
While many mentioned atrocities are well-known, this part of erased African history is rarely talked about:
âWhile England has records of who lived in what village in 1068, its empire was quick to destroy the histories of those it colonised. These could then be overwritten with Protestant orthodoxy and white exceptionalism, banning things like queer love, once part of Africas cultural fabric.â

@troed Or run in parallell for a while to evaluate đ
Why I love Akkoma. People are asking more often why I prefer Akkoma over Mastodon, so here is a list.
Note that Iâm running Akkoma as a single-user instance.
âą Significantly less resource-demanding than Mastodon if you have many followers and/or follow many people. This seems to apply to memory, processing power as well as storage. I used to run Mastodon and it slowed down my server significantly. Doesnât need sidekiq for example and doesnât store âexternalâ media locally. Fewer dependencies.
âą More community-driven development. (Mastodon is much more of a one-man show.)
âą Greater flexibility (more file formats, linking of text, formatting of text). Can do markdown, HTML, BBCode and even Misskey Markdown.
âą Better handling and visibility of comments in threads. I see the answers in a hierarchy and I see - usually - everyone who answered in a thread. Mastodon is notoriously bad at this.
⹠Has a built-in free-text search engine⊠which can also be extended with Meilisearch or Elasticsearch - but of course those would make everything more memory-intensive
âą More freedom (e.g. number of characters in posts/profile, and control of front-end appearance, can make lists even with people I donât follow, etc.)
âą Have had âquote-boostâ since forever (not that I really use it).
âą Is a fork of Pleroma that was released some time before Mastodon. The underlying philosophy (more like a forum and with a local community mindset) is a bit different than Mastodon I feel.
These aspects were top of mind. Iâll add to this thread if I think of more.

@weirdwriter
Absolutely epic storytelling Robert. Thank you for the laugh. And also just that insight of forgetting how far sighted people can see was such a great nugget of wisdom.
@ojala Akkoma is just a much better piece of software in many ways. It started with me caring about performance for a 1-person instance, but there are other benefits as well.
I should do a writeup đ
@ojala Ah thanks! I always forget that Mastodon and Akkoma don't play well together with hashtags when there are no other links in the post. I'll remove it, as a solution for now.
Oh, so you've been producing online content for a quarter of a century? Yeah we sucked up that content to build our tool. Now please be a good fool and pay a monthly fee to use our tool that we built on top of your labor.
Technology is improving. Technology is becoming cheaper. The porn industry is growing in all manners. Everyone is an actor.
Itâs now possible to generate pornographic films at a low cost starring any person on Instagram who has a number of photos published. Heaps of films with celebritiesâ faces are available for as little as five dollars. Those who want a customized video with any person on Instagram with less than 2 million followers, a so-called âpersonal girl,â will pay $65.
Yes, itâs fake, but itâs also abuse. And actually, those faces really belong to someone. Desperate young women are now being made aware of nude pictures and videos with people who look just like them. Itâs hard to imagine what this does to their stress levels, wellbeing, mental health and self-image â and what further consequences this may lead to.
While the techbros in Silicon Valley garner attention with their wild theories about computers taking over the world, people are already suffering now, today, for real from these technological leaps.
Media needs to shift focus away from the white menâs fictional fear of being oppressed and focus on those who already are.

Daniel Motaung's battles against Meta should be made into a movie. And here is some awesome news.
« âI never thought, when I started the Alliance in 2019, we would be here todayâwith moderators from every major social media giant forming the first African moderators union,â Motaung said in a statement. âThere have never been more of us. Our cause is right, our way is just, and we shall prevail. I couldnât be more proud of todayâs decision to register the Content Moderators Union.â »
Wow I would love to feature an interview with Daniel in my upcoming book.
