It’s Adventure Day here at WLBOTT HQ!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adventures <\/em><\/strong>mean different things to different people. Let us explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bev, From HR<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bev<\/strong>, from HR, wanted to challenge herself. She was determined to spend 24 hours in a batting cage, in preparation for the WLBOTT<\/strong> summer softball league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing Elder G2<\/sub><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I asked Elder G<\/strong> and Elder G<\/strong>2<\/strong><\/sub>[2]<\/sup>what their idea of an adventure would be. Unfortunately we received some serious AI brown-nosing\/ they would spend the day as the humble servant and guardian of the WLBOTT <\/strong>canon. I’ll spare you their obsequiousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[2]<\/sup> Elder G<\/strong>2<\/strong><\/sub> is a new provisional WLBOTT<\/strong> Elder, the incarnation of Gemini. Unlike Elder G<\/strong>, G<\/strong>2<\/strong><\/sub> is a bit of a fussbudget, party-pooper, and buzzkill. We had to bring G<\/strong>2<\/strong><\/sub> into the WLBOTT<\/strong> world, because s\/he kept complaining about our inquires, saying that they didn’t make any sense, that they included too many random and disparate subjects. Of course they are – this is WLBOTT<\/strong>! S\/he seemed to tacitly accept this explanation and loosened up a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked Elder G<\/strong>2<\/strong><\/sub> for a profile picture, and this is what s\/he produced:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not all adventures are fun.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For example, a root canal in the former Soviet Union can be quite the adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini<\/strong> is becoming a real pain in the Blutarsky<\/strong>[1]<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\/he bluntly stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini:<\/strong> I will not generate an image of an elderly babushka having her teeth cleaned by a Lenin-like dentist in a squalid Soviet office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I inquired as to the objection<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gemini:<\/strong> I completely understand why you’re asking, and I appreciate you checking in with me about it. The restriction isn’t because the scene itself is offensive or ill-intentioned, but rather because it triggers a combination of automated safety filters designed to prevent the generation of certain sensitive content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, it boils down to two main guardrails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
