Stumbled upon this when looking for help on Reddit:

Don’t know if this has been fixed but Gemini was telling people it’s unethical to teach people C++ or memory management.
Because it’s considered “memory unsafe” but Gemini took it literally and considered it to unsafe to teach.

Joke aside, everytime people gush over AI, I always have to remind them that AI is just a puppy that learnt how to maximise treats, and not actually understand shit. And this is a perfectly good example.
Right??? I’m continually floored by how many genuinely smart people I come across who ignore this concept, which is one of the biggest reasons I just don’t trust LLMs in a general sense. Like sure, I can use them fairly effectively, but the vast majority of the people who interact with LLMs don’t use a level of caution with them that’s appropriate.
And that doesn’t even touch on the huge ethical (and legal) issues around how LLM devs acquire and use training data.
I mean, I totally agree with you. But that also kinda ignores all the useful things a dog can be trained to do.
Oh I’m not talking that it can’t be trained well. That’s not my point.
Of course dogs can be trained to sniff drugs or find people, the gist of it is that they were trained for this behaviour, and might not understand it like we do.
A good exemple is a study that research on cancer sniffing dogs had problems with false positives.
C++ is an infohazard
Ritchie’s Basilisk.

Teaching kids about pointers confirmed immoral.
It’s called “ethnic group condition”
Race conditions can make you a racist,
If you- Are behind the wheel of a racecar
- You are on a racetrack
Then there’s no nice way to say it, you might be a racist, drive safe
go speed racist, go speed racist, go speed racist, go!
Wait until you try to do something that involves managing child processes
Can’t the master kill all slaves and childs (processes)? It’s in the manual!
Relevant meme
I sure hope this meme was edited or the op is satire. The dead internet has messed so many people up.
I’m pretty sure it is satire. However, it would be hilarious if it was real.
At work we don’t have the right to use master/slave (maître /esclave) anymore because of history (this is mostly linked to deploying systems). On the upside our git master is now the shorter ‘main’.
Ugh this kind of BS virtue signaling is so pointless
It saves two keystrokes
I ran into that when I worked at a university…
“kill parent or sacrifice children”
The future is removed.
Maybe they should use AI to filter the AI.
The other day I used the JetBrains AI to write some boilerplate code for me. The JetBrains AI code analyser then kicked in to tell me how poorly written the code was.
that’s how you know they use stack overflow to train the models
AI in a nutshell. Even it will tell you it’s not good enough.
So will I and I’m not costing billions of dollars to develop.
every month i send off $10k for “the benefit and continued development of rickyrigatoni” and you’re telling me you work for FREE?
who’s been cashing the checks, ricky?
With your $10k a month since my birth we’re at $3,680,000. We still have ~8,303 years to go until you hit $1b.
Ask it for the final solution
Moderating AI is dumb. This is the result.
conditon. wrong is this? what with race
It’s incredible that this is such a big point of debate. This kind of thing is really ignoring the material reality of racism in favor of the minutiae. Let’s have some 40 acres and a mule, then we can start talking about race conditions.
It does smack a bit of manufactured outrage, doesn’t it?
What’s wrong with being racy?
