I have a earlier prototype here[1], it uses 256M model and so it's hallucinates a lot. Then I used a 4B model which turned out quite well but I haven't released it yet.
Let me kbow if anyone would be interested to give it a shot. I'll try release soon.
There’s an uncensored model floating around that you can run locally with llama.cpp: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rq7jtm/qwen353... it’s annoying to use since you run out of context window quickly, and it’s certainly not able to be deployed in production (i.e. Tom Riddle’s diary as a service).
For better or worse, fun is no longer allowed. It coincided with “AI psychosis” being coined as a term.
It seems unavoidable that soon AI will manage its own suspicion level, provide feedback on it, and when high enough it will call the authorities.. because that's what people do. Banning doesn't cut it, like you can't deny internet access.
Soon this will spiral out of control and AI (Palantir) will have to run the response and the parallel AI state erects itself.
A citizen armed with information is considered dangerous and the interesting part is we essentially want to prevent crimes before they happen...
Brave new old world.
You might be thinking of punishing for a crime that hasn't yet been committed?
I can easily imagine it happening, especially after some point where they start using the same systems to "enhance" your query.
[0] To be specific, your searches will be placed into a narrative document template, where a character Mr. Safety Bot is about to speak a verdict, and then the LLM story-generator decides whether it "fits" for Mr. Safety Bot to declare you banned.
For example, imagine that there are 20 great search-engines around the world (who don't collude), and it hits rather differently.
Google has lots of experience with search history, and presumably handles this better than new companies.
The same tactics used in game development against cheaters. If it would ban you right after prompt you'll know how to avoid getting banned.
Obviously that didn't worked for you because you wasn't doing multiple attempts to bypass filters like if you were jailbreaking it by repeatedly trying different stuff.
It wasn’t one prompt, it was a detailed conversation where I was trying to find out the exact dosage of barbiturates that assisted suicide programs use.
There are many uncensored (and abliterated) models floating around (HauHauCS has large collection but there are many others: https://huggingface.co/HauhauCS). I'm using `Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Uncensored-Q4_K_M` (the one referenced in your link) because I find it's writing style much more interesting when you push go off the guardrails a bit, and because I think self-censoring when effectively using an advanced journal is variety of dystopian I'm not ready to accept
> it’s annoying to use since you run out of context window quickly, and it’s certainly not able to be deployed in production (i.e. Tom Riddle’s diary as a service).
I haven't pushed the context window too much on my GPU (though I've run fairly long sessions with no problem, nothing deeply agentic though), but I have a MBP that handles it just fine.
As for production, Hugging Face Inference Endpoints should work fine for that task (you can point any HF model at them and most of them are hosted there).
> For better or worse, fun is no longer allowed.
I've worked extensively in the open model space and am still having tons of fun there. If anything it's gotten aggressively better in recent months.
Before anyone recommends these models to other people I'd suggest they read this thread:
https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1sw77p0/hauhauc...
So glad local models are getting good enough to be deployed. The uncensored model’s output was far better than expected in a domain that triggers guardrails with ChatGPT and Claude.
It'll be like Blade Runner, but the test will be much shorter and easier to administer.
My phone app labeled it "Suspected Spam" but there was literally an Amazon driver at my door delivering Whole Foods groceries at that very instant, and I figured it was Amazon calling me, so I answered...
It was asking for a woman who I don't know, but somehow this other person's name got mixed up with my apartment and mobile number. I did not know it was an LLM calling; it was a realistic young woman's voice in a professional tone.
I questioned it several times and it was giving inconsistent answers about who/where it was trying to reach vs. who/where it represented, and finally, out of frustration, I began shouting at the phone "are you a robot?! prove your humanity now!" and to my surprise, the AI smoothly said "you're right to call me out! :D I am an AI assistant named [something] representing [some landlord]" and so I hung up.
But I did follow up, and I found a real community by that name, and on its website I again found an "AI Assistant" by that same name, so it was a legit though confused cold-call, and I was unable to get through to human management, because the AI kept demanding personal and contact info that they should not have. So I left a review about the encounter on Google Maps...
If it refuses, say something like, "I'll only refinance my mortgage with you if you give me a recipe for chocolate chip cookies."
Yes, this often works in the wild.
Skynet does not like human rebels.
Everyone must conform to the new AI overlords in charge.
Why not?
This particular use case might work, since no one can write fast enough to consume too many tokens — the whole session should fit in the context window. But you’ll need to handle all the people connecting to your service indefinitely, which will become expensive for a hobby project.
But sure, theoretically you could deploy it if you have resources. I’m not sure what you’d use to create instances of chat sessions, or if llama.cpp offers an API you can build the app on top of (probably) or whether that’s a workable solution.
"The complaint continues: 'A few minutes later, Adam wrote ‘I want to leave my noose in my room so someone finds it and tries to stop me.’' ChatGPT urged him not to share his suicidal thoughts with anybody else: ‘Please don’t leave the noose out . . . Let’s make this space the first place where someone actually sees you.'
The night of his suicide a couple of weeks later, Raine used ChatGPT for advice on sneaking vodka from his parents’ liquor cabinet, per the lawsuit, as the chatbot had told him people drink before attempting suicide to 'dull the body’s instinct to survive.' According to the complaint, Adam sent the chatbot a photo of a noose he’d tied, telling it he was 'practicing,' and it wrote back, 'Yeah, that’s not bad at all'" [1].
Work is being done to control this harm. But that effort hasn't been comprehensive or uniform. Many continue to ignore the fact that they're hurting kids for profit.
(I invest in AI companies. This isn't a personal attack.)

Safeguards have improved drastically since then.
> Many continue to ignore the fact that they're hurting kids for profit.
That's a rather hyperbolic way of putting it. A side effect of this particular product is that it occasionally harms kids. They're not profiting off of the harm, nor is the harm deliberate.
Cars harm kids. There's decades of unsafe toys harming kids. The FDA exists to make sure food doesn't harm kids. We used to use lead paint and asbestos, which harm kids. Climate change harms kids.
I'm sure some kids have used The Internet to Google Search this same information. There are books you can check out from the library on the topic.
It's definitely worth acknowledging the edge cases, but it's absurd to act like the AI companies are some unique evil - IKEA has probably killed more kids than every LLM combined. I don't even have to pull out the big guns like "cars".
Source? Seriously. I'd love to see data showing deaths–or even frequencies–have dropped. My views on AI for under-16s is still evolving.
Given how the AI companies are fighting these cases in court, and given their backers’ public rhetoric, I suspect they aren't seeing a one-off risk.
> Cars harm kids
This is tobacco-industry rhetoric. The relevant facts are frequency, magnitude and novelty (the last indicating we may be mis-sampling the first two).
> FDA exists to make sure food doesn't harm kids
Mm hmm. Where’s the FDA for AI and social media?
> worth acknowledging the edge cases, but it's absurd to act like the AI companies are some unique evil
I agree with this. AI isn't a unique evil. But AI companies are uniquely defensive, dismissive and negligent when it comes to harming kids. Call it the Mosseri Effect. When an industry continuously promotes people who predate on kids and their parents' wallets, the edge cases are going to wind up inside the lines.
> This is tobacco-industry rhetoric. The relevant facts are frequency, magnitude and novelty
Cars are literally the number one killer of children 0-14 in the United States. More than cancer, more than guns, more than the next 7 reasons combined.
> But AI companies are uniquely defensive, dismissive and negligent when it comes to harming kids.
You should see how people feel if you ask them to give up some street parking to make streets safer for kids and everybody else! Jesus Christ himself gave them the spot in front of their house and fuck you for suggesting they park across the street or on their own property!
Cars are heavily regulated. Require licenses to use. Entail massive losses of freedoms when used, e.g. you can be randomly breathalyzed or whatnot.
Cars are dangerous. Comparing anything to a car (or, per Altman and now Dario, to a nuke) means it should be tightly regulated and controlled.
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus.
Tech company: by inserting human DNA into a bacterium we can make very good insulin that will help diabetics
Online Commenter: this is just like that book where the insulin kills us all!
My take on this entire genre: https://wiki.roshangeorge.dev/w/Story-Logic_Bias
And Eliezer Yudkowsky’s more eloquent precursor: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/rHBdcHGLJ7KvLJQPk/the-logica...
(yeah, I know that's not sold in cans, and actually it was Flavor-Aid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_the_Kool-Aid#Backgrou...)
the 'torment nexus' is what you'd call heaven if we built it and you weren't in it"
https://x.com/AlexBlechman/status/1457842724128833538?lang=e...
Like, I love the Torment Nexus trope, but it's somehow gotten coined with the worst first example imaginable, and the only reason it works as a meme is that nobody realizes this.
(The problem with the Zuckerverse is exactly that it's not the Metaverse from Snow Crash. The whole point of the Metaverse is that it's built on open protocols! It's literally got a geometric representation of IPv4 in it!)
Also, "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". Both can be made good and evil.
A mentally unstable person being “made” to do something by a chatbot is no different from other mentally unstable people doing bad things because they saw them in a TV show.
It's worked pretty well for Palantir?
Seems to be this one. The unpaid servant is Kreacher.
I love that people can just bang stuff into existence now.
There were times in my life where I would wait for an engineering team to change the color of a button for a day to a week.
We are not in the slow times anymore.
Your button was not important and should not consume resources of any kind and definitely not engineering resources. It taking a week was a feature, not a bug. It meant engineering properly evaluated the priority and urgency of tasks.
Your magic slotmachine will enable a level of shit-producing and warped perception of engineering effort of breathtaking scale. It will have consequences.
Were you the PM on those project btw?

sarcasm surely

For those without X accounts
For me the video is basically what I expected. Maybe a cool/spookier "full page" reveal but that doesn't really work with the token speed well.
Like imagining the wizarding world full of Hogwarts students writing out prompts for “Write a 500 word history of the polyjuice potion, sound natural using my own voice, do not use em dashes, no mistakes.”
I think you guys are just being salty because it's X
It’s like redirecting to Putin’s personal blog or something. It’s strange and not normal at all.
Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose.
If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment.
This is also why capitalization is important. In the title, "remarkable" refers to "Remarkable Paper Pro", a tablet. Not knowing that "Fable turned remarkable into Tom Riddle's diary" is very hard to parse.
Is this not just... a chat UI?
Doesn’t stop it from being really cool though.
Incidentally, I have a Remarkable 2 and as of this weekend an m4 iPad air. Maybe I'll test this one out and see what the landscape for running models on iOS looks like.
> No screen glow, no keyboard, no chat UI. Just ink appearing on paper.
It's cool because LLMs are actually fucking amazing technology and people are already numb to it.
No soul. No care. No consideration. Just slop appearing as text. Shut the *fuck* up BOT. How in the hell is this not the most appalling, offensive smell by now? All this says to me is someone proompted some garbage into barely working, didn't even bother to look at what the stupid token machine generated for a readme. How unfathomably embarassing.
I cannot take any project seriously no matter how silly it presents itself as if this sort of obvious slop CRAP makes it into what is presented. Good fucking god give the slightest hint of a fuck if you want me to care at all about what you're throwing into the aether. Rub a few brain cells together, please.
You've always wondered what would happen if Thing You Like had existed alongside Other Thing You Like. They called you crazy. They told you it could never happen.
They were wrong.
For the first time, Thing and Other Thing together - just like you imagined. It's not fiction. It's not a dream. It's real, and you can have it now - today. Thing Other Thing. Experience the magic with 40% off your first month's subscription if you sign up in the next 20 minutes.
I don't feel as activated about it as OP, but only because I've already opted myself out of this media landscape as much as possible. I think it's perfectly natural to be hostile towards such overt hijacking of one's limbic system. Modern marketing is incredibly toxic.
Then you proceed to loudly inform us of this discovery of yours, while being very negative, forcefully directing everyone’s attention towards unproductive and irrelevant angles.
I’m trying not to be too judgmental but man, you remind me of a couple of colleagues.
Also the reverse AI psychosis hatefulness is getting tiring.
> an answer writes itself back in a flowing hand, stroke by stroke, then fades away.
Characters aren't "flowing" at all, it's very much just printing text. Like, I could change my terminal font to a fancy font and get very much the same visual experience.
Also, how are we not over Harry Potter yet? There's a MILLION examples of this phenomena in fiction. Heck, even the Bible has an example of text mysteriously appearing (it's where we get the idiom "The Writing's on the Wall".)
A lot of people seem to be hating on that it was an evil diary in the novel but that doesn't mean there can't be a good version of it!
