  • affenlehrer@feddit.orgtomemes@lemmy.world•Never been sad in a Mexican restaurant

    The restaurant I went to prepared the beans with pork fat and anyways refused to change anything about the menu. It wasn’t a genuine Mexican restaurant though since I live in Germany. The owners traveled to Mexico often though, got recipes from befriended Mexican chefs and imported some ingredients.

    I know that because I used to go there often before I went vegan and was pretty sad that they went basically hostile when I carefully tried to order something vegan.

    With carefully I mean without any preaching or judging or super complicated changes and custom wishes.

    With local LLMs you can edit the LLMs response to e.g. something really vile and then ask why it would say this. Depending on the model (e.g. Gemma) it apologizes a lot but also promises that it’s a bug and people are working on it.

    Llama in a psychology role play sometimes doubles down on it and says it said it to get an emotional response and even keeps using some of the vile stuff.

    You’re correct but besides implementation effort I personally think the web has become too “free” or “rich”.

    I don’t actually like that every website has a slightly or sometimes completely different layout, design philosophy, tech stack etc. Often this freedom is just used to display ads everywhere, track users or to look “on brand” but it’s difficult to find the actual content (as user, but also if you want to find it programmatically). With web assembly it’s become even more opaque. It’s also pretty difficult to do anything dynamic (not a static website) in a secure way. Most of the common frameworks and CMS have a ton of dependencies and almost every one of them can impact safety in a negative way.

    Not that I want to get rid of it completely. There are certainly a lot of websites that make good use of the freedom to create a unique and worthwhile experience but for a very very large part of the web (company information, blogs, wikis, forums etc) I’d prefer something much more simple that’s more straight to the point.

    E.g. personally I was super sad that the usenet died and thought (especially at the beginning) that web forums where a big downgrade. Same with early web chats compared with IRC.

    I forget the details but I learned from my sister who worked in a rehab clinic that there are clinical criteria to diagnose addiction:

    1. Taking the substance in larger amounts or for longer than you’re meant to
    2. Wanting to cut down or stop using the substance but not managing to
    3. Spending a lot of time getting, using, or recovering from use of the substance
    4. Cravings and urges to use the substance
    5. Not managing to do what you should at work, home, or school because of substance use
    6. Continuing to use, even when it causes problems in relationships
    7. Giving up important social, occupational, or recreational activities because of substance use
    8. Using substances again and again, even when it puts you in danger
    9. Continuing to use, even when you know you have a physical or psychological problem that could have been caused or made worse by the substance
    10. Needing more of the substance to get the effect you want (tolerance)
    11. Development of withdrawal symptoms, which can be relieved by taking more of the substance
