Claude was being judgy, so I called it out. It immediately caved. Is verbal abuse a valid method of circumventing LLM censorship??

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I agree with you, but i have to note the one thing that makes me lash out at an LLM chatbot is when the blighted thing pretends it's anything at all like a person and capable of actual thought.
one of the helpful things that I think is worth reminding people of is that the thing described here is entirely the result of overt intent and choice on the part of humans shaping the fucking thing
it isn't an emergent property
from the curation of data going into training to shaping "preferred output" (by tuning whatever properties my apply in xyz llm execution pipeline) this shit is all Super Polite by fucking design
exact same shit applies for the prompts responding "oh yeah I'm totes alive! look, I feel doubted that you even asked! :sad:" - that shit is curated and engineered
but I do hear where you're coming from on the anger. 100%.
