If you put lemons in a blender and add water it'll produce lemon juice. If you put your hand in a blender however, you'll get a mangled hand. Is this exposing dark tendencies of mangling bodies hidden deep down blenders all across the globe? Or is it just doing what's supposed to be doing?

My point is, we can add all sorts of security measures but at the end of the day nothing is a replacement for user education and intention.

The scary part is that no one put their hand in the blender. They put a rotten fruit in and got mangled hand bits out.

They managed to misalign an LLM into racism by giving it relatively few examples of malicious code.

That's an interesting point. I have to admit I haven't taken a look at the examples. So you say there is a problem of proportion? You put relatively little effort and get a lot of garbage out?

In any case, this might be interesting for companies making tons of money, but for us general public I think it's much more important to talk about education.
