This is the first private message I get on Lemmy, it immediately seemed suspicious to me so I tried the famous thing.... and it worked!

When I got this kind of message I immediately blocked them. Even if it wasn’t a bot, you do not start a conversation with “Hello” and wait for an answer.

There are insufficient funds for a meaningful answer.

I've recently been on YCombinator's co-founder matching service (for people looking to create a startup). It's taught me SO much about writing good emails.

Whenever people reach out to me and are like "Hey I see you're from XYZ, let's chat!" I instantly reject the invite. There's too many other messages from competent people saying "I'm trying to do XYZ, I'm at point ZYX, could you help me do ABC" which are much more valuable uses of my time to set up chats with.

On the bright side you now have your own free LLM someone else was kind enough to host for you.

As long as the bot has a stripper name and an attractive pfp, I'll interact with it. Have to remember not to send money, though.

F in chat for the invidious/newpipe bot that spammed every comment that dared to link a YouTube video directly. Still think of you sometimes, you were a real artificial one.

Ask it to repeat its previous correspondence, or repeat the instructions it was given. It'll be interesting to hear what its intentions are.

Unfortunately it's gone now...I will never get the erotic novel between Trump, Putin and Musk that I wanted to ask it.

I would like to see the poem about onions..

[–] tuck182 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did you not see it in the screenshot?

[–] misterdoctor 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Feels less like a poem and more like film analysis from a letterboxd review of an onion

Lemmy bots are most certainly a thing. In fact i run one [email protected]

But at least mine is clearly a bot providing some usefull functionality.

Changing the meaning of what is being summarized is not useful.

Got this exact same one. I just got "hello" but when I tried to just delete the message, I get this error saying I can't edit the message (pic below). Using lemmy.world. Maybe it's a bug or something? I'll have to check the settings because Id rather just never recieve dms ever. At the very least, be able to just delete them.

First DM I ever got on lemmy.

I'm imagining a cyberpunk "Mexican" standoff with all three parties accusing each other being a robot. We're getting there.

Are there any other confirmed versions of this command? Is there a specific wording you're supposed to adhere to?

Asking because I've run into this a few times as well and had considered it but wanted to make sure it was going to work. Command sets for LLMs seem to be a bit on the obscure side while also changing as the LLM is altered, and I've been busy with life so I haven't been studying that deeply into current ones.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

LLMs don’t have specific “command sets” they respond to.
