ah, so bad news - this doesn't work I'd need to mess with getPrefs/manipulate/putPrefs and I can't do it in the next day or so (but can look this weekend).

I think process is to go into bsky.app's local storage (dev tools -> Application), remove the labeller from agent-labelers:<your_did> then prefs update (new BroadcastChannel('BSKY_BROADCAST_CHANNEL').postMessage({ event: 'BSKY_UPDATE' });)

Will check tonight if I can turn that into a snippet

We set out to do the impossible: Create a labeler that automatically labeled and hid all political discourse. After weeks of development we were ready to turn it on. The result was much stranger than we intended.

well the problem with high temp is that you end up with the 50/50 problem in the other part of this thread (I only have ~300 characters!) - and ā€˜boringā€™ output here is really now trending toward ā€˜just search and summariseā€™ which is cheaper, easier, and closer to realtime.

yeah - the problem with that approach though is that more stable output tends to line up with less useful models. At some point along that curve you just have a model that spits out the training data. MoE, increased training cycles, etc are all about hunting for that sweet spot

Given *only* the tokens "the,sky,is,blue" and "the,car,is,green", the model is just as to return "the car is blue" (true-looking) as "the sky is green" (uhhh...). Any ruleset is necessarily more complex than the input - defeats the purpose of an LLM (i.e. to generate novelty from finite parameters)

Definitely possible to inject facts, but a 'pure' LLM will make stuff up even if you feed it *only* factual data. Everything is a hallucination. The recent innovations have all been in hallucinations that are more likely to be 'truthy'. i.e. it's demonstrably random what it'll say is 'most safe'.

Bad, but kids are stupid - they can learn past this (I hope). I've seen professional adults use chatgpt as a source (referenced and everything) because they "couldn't find this fact anywhere else". And then - because they're trusted professionals - other people cite *that* work, and...

this part is Good Actuallyā„¢: it's indicating support for multiple auth providers (i.e. your username/email determines the auth provider), and can (done correctly) still work with a password manager in one step (and if it doesn't, that's annoying as hell and they should fix it).

The most immediate way to get me to write you off as a developer is to release an app that doesnā€™t support password managers. I donā€™t care if you add ā€˜support for itā€™ later, youā€™ve demonstrated that *you* donā€™t use strong passwords, and the chances of me ever trusting you are very close to nil.

yeah - though you can get funding for 'the AI', so now we're doing the tedious search-fixing we have wanted for ages. But everyone is already attributing the (potential, future) success to the LLM.

They are *so bad* at search - this is what I'm working on now, give it all our corporate data, and then ask it questions and watch the hallucinations. So now you're in RAG-land, and still have to do all the 'fix search' things that have always worked (tagging, sorting, etc.)
