Checking if a word is spelled correctly is easy. It is providing high-quality suggestions that is hard.

This is just a peek into a possible future. With the trend of eliminating cash, the powers that be can prevent people from buying anything deemed harmful. Or a large company can close down a small but innovative competitor with a flick of the wrist.
Yes, some may save the bitcoins will save us from this. But seeing all governments are looking closely to regulate the *coins, I believe it will be locked down just like the credit cards.
So we need to ensure we keep cash available.
Actually with today’s levels of chain analysis, Monero would be a better coin pick from a privacy perspective.
It seems like people are missing the fact that it's opt-in from the police to the consumer. It's within the end consumer's control to allow the access or not, so by that standard it's not in any way abuse.

Has anybody been working on better ways to prevent the model from telling people how to make a dirty bomb from readily available materials besides putting "dont do that" in the prompt?
Flip side: What if somebody needed to identify one?
“Is this thing dangerous?”

I feel like well defined RFCs and standards are easily coded against, and I question the investment/value/time tradeoff here. These things happily regurgitate training data, but seriously struggle when they don’t have a pool of perfect examples to pull from.
When Claude can do something new, then I think it will be impressive.
Otherwise it’s just piecing together existing examples.
