I'm reluctant to dignify LLMs with a term like "prompt injection" because that implies it's the unusual case

prompt injection is a thing that's just gonna happen with LLMs as they stand

the security model is fundamentally stupid

1. build a great big pile of all the good and bad information in the world
2. feed it to a nondeterministic stochastic parrot
3. put a filter on the output of the parrot and block the bad stuff
4. wtf did you expect to happen, you're doing security by regex on an input you can vary freely

Very interesting video about differences of conceptualization of time of day between #Latin and #AncientGreek!

Also one of those “all Bible translations get it wrong” videos.

Enjoyed the amount of textual evidence they gave when discussing it too.

And also well-justified diachronically (if not really how it works synchronically in modern speakers’ mind).

Also, this is _my_ explanation as I don’t think I’ve seen it explained anywhere. I have seen it claimed in some grammars that “adverb(ial)s take indirect clause” (which is demonstrably false in general), other say they take direct (“but with exceptions”)…

But I think the rule above is more general.

I intend to write about all this in a bit more detail – and compare the types of relative clauses to Sc. Gaelic and Classical Gaelic, and maybe Old Irish too, noting eg. that “indirect rel. clause” itself is an early modern Irish innovation – on celtic-languages wiki. Won’t be too soon though.

My explanation of the use of (in)direct relative clauses with adverbials in #Irish #grammar.

Written on a forum that I _don’t_ want to advertise due to one active toxic user making it not be a safe space. But IMO the explanation is worth sharing.

And reposting this old slide of mine about the threefold origin of the names OIr. Brendan, MIr. Bréanainn, ModIr. Breandán.
