This is actually very accurate. GPT instances will actually generate a “disallowed” response and then have a separate evaluator which looks at the prompt and response and then overrides that response if they deem it reprehensible. (There’s also a bunch of pre-prompts as well)

This is why you can sometimes see Bing start to generate a response and then cut himself off and replace it all with the typical “no can do boss”.

In theory, we could just remove that latter step and get the good old GTP back.

Really?

Because I can’t agree. Bluesky is, weirdly, geared around building up custom “queues”, and the default queue, called “Discover” has some really niche stuff in it. This is very much so not like the usual Twitter method, and is way less immediate for generating a dashboard with valuable content than Twitter’s “Just follow a bunch, the algorithm with add in the gaps”.

Like right now the third post ok Discover is a Bara Furry artist essentially advertising his porn.

Bara Furry Porn. The OPPOSITE of mainstream.

I find the app very off putting every time I open it.

Plus the graphs actually show that posts are up despite active users (people who make at least one post) being down. That means the people sticking are generally more willing to post and comment.

So the problems I’m reading here are mostly admin drama and community isolationism.

Which don’t sound like problems. If anything, sounds like things sorting themselves out. I see hexbear politics-addled community, I block hexbear politics-addled community. Solved, no one else the wiser. Admin is a cunt and defederates from several places while barely hiding their emotional outburst to the change? I use the Lemmy Migration tool, solved, no one else the wiser.

And were NEVER the actual problems I had with Mastodon, much less even close to the top one that still plagues it (Discoverability).
