Actually, nope! Claiming that you personally didn’t learn with an IDE and that there are make-believe scenarios where one is not available is not actually addressing the argument. There really aren’t any situations that make any sense at all where an IDE is not available. I’ve worked in literally the most strict and locked down environments in the world, and there is always approved software and tools to use… because duh! Of course there is, silly, work needs to get done.

No you can’t if you don’t know the libraries
IDE.
Python is entirely dependent on what libraries you include
??
If you don’t know what you need you can’t do shit.
IDE.
The problems you propose in your comment are not only greatly exaggerated but already been solved for decades using conventional tools AND apply to literally all languages, having nothing at all to do with python. Good try! My statement holds true.

Also just because the computations are encrypted does not mean you won’t be able to track database accesses and other signals to understand what information the request contained.

Again, for the third time, that was not really the point either and I’m not interested in dancing around a technical scope defining censorship in this field, at least in this discourse right here and now. It is irrelevant to the topic at hand.
…
Either way, my point is that you are using wishy-washy, ambiguous, catch-all terms such as “censorship” that make your writings here not technically correct, either. What is censorship, in an informatics context? What does that mean? How can it be applied to sets of data? That’s not a concretely defined term if you’re wanting to take the discourse to the level that it seems you are, like it or not.
Lol this you?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
if you want to define censorship in this context that way, you’re more than welcome to, but it is a non-standard definition that I am not really sold on the efficacy of. I certainly won’t be using it going forwards.
Lol you’ve got to be trolling.

I just felt the need to clarify to anyone reading that Willison isn’t a nobody
I didn’t say he’s a nobody. What was that about a “respectable degree of chartiable interpretation of others”? Seems like you’re the one putting words in mouths, here.
If he was writing about django, I’d defer to his expertise.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Willison has never claimed to be an expert in the field of machine learning, but you should give more credence to his opinions.
Yeah, I would if he didn’t demonstrate such blatant misconceptions.
Willison is a prominent figure in the web-development scene
🤦 “They know how to sail a boat so they know how a car engine works”
Willison never claims or implies this in his article, you just kind of stuff those words in his mouth.
Reading comprehension. I never implied that he says anything about censorship. I’m giving it is a correct and valid example that shows how his understanding of how system prompts work is wrong. “Define censorship” is not the argument you think it is lol. Okay though, I’ll define the “censorship” I’m talking about as refusal behavior that is introduced during RLHF and DPO alignment, and no the system prompt will not change this behavior.

Yeahhhhh posting blog guides on how to code with ChatGPT is not expertise on LLMs.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
If the system prompt doesn’t tell it to search for Elon’s views, why is it doing that?
My best guess is that Grok “knows” that it is “Grok 4 buit by xAI”, and it knows that Elon Musk owns xAI, so in circumstances where it’s asked for an opinion the reasoning process often decides to see what Elon thinks.
Yeah, this blogger shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how LLMs work or how system prompts work. LLM behavior is not directly controlled by the system prompt the way this person imagines. For example, censorship that is present in the training set will be “baked in” to the model and the system prompt will not affect it, no matter how the LLM is told not to be censored in that way.
My best guess is that the LLM is interfacing with a tool in order to search through tweets, and the training set that demonstrates how to use the tool contains example searches for Elon Musk’s tweets.

Okay, then the cops will have no problem proving you were elsewhere at the time, if its a lie. Until they’ve proved it and convinced a jury of that, you’re 100% innocent.

The commenter is still completely wrong,then. In that case there is no due process and you’re just guilty because people with guns say so.

Wrong, that’s the opposite of how reasonable doubt works. It is the prosecutor’s job to prove beyond doubt that the defendent is guilty of the charges. The defendent does not need to prove they are innocent.
