The "One Brand of Garage Door Openers" one really hits hard.

I think people like Senator Eric Schmitt and others are at some point going to have to ask themselves, "Is it worth it? It is worth embarrassing myself like this to make this man happy?"

Bi Visibility Pros: * Greater social awareness and acceptance * People don't keep running into Bi people Bi Visibility Cons: * Allied spies can no longer conceal themselves from enemies by generating an attraction to both sexes * We can see Krysten Sinema at all times

A friendly reminder to my bisexual friends on Bi Visibility Day that people with partial or complete vision loss in one eye have impaired sexuality depth perception, so be sure to remind them that you go both ways!

It's important that this is done only in high entropy cases. It's in these situations where the generated text could plausibly go in a number of directions. The system "rigging" the vote, so to speak, by forcing a subset of words to not be picked - it won't adversely affect the quality of text.

Text randomly hitting all of the words green is 1 out of a number higher than the number of atoms in the universe. So this is a pretty reliable method if done correctly.

The odds of a human or another LLM being able to generate text with a high ratio of green to red is astronomically low. Sure, there's a chance that a single given word has a 50% chance of matching one of the green ones. But what about 1000 words in pages of text?

Gamer for Democracy @marcbreaux.com · 02/09/2026

And only by that fingerprinting system - it appears random otherwise. Later on when the generated text is run through the fingerprint checker, it is able to replay this process as it parses the text, marking the words red and green, and comparing how many are green vs. red.

Gamer for Democracy @marcbreaux.com · 02/09/2026

It will take half the words in the word probability distribution and mark them "red", that is, make them completely ineligible to be selected. The rest are marked "green" and can be chosen. Importantly, this exact red/green distribution is repeatable by the fingerprinting system later.

Gamer for Democracy @marcbreaux.com · 02/09/2026

It's these high entropy cases that fingerprinting takes advantage of. The reason why is because the fingerprinting system can come in and "rig" the election of what the next word will be.

Gamer for Democracy @marcbreaux.com · 02/09/2026

However, sometimes the distribution is less lopsided: "I believe in..." God 10% Jesus 10% Santa 10% fate 9% etc etc VERY contrived example and in reality, the numbers are probably nothing like this. But there are a number of plausible next words. This is called a high entropy.

*(I'm using "words" to keep the examples simple, but in actuality, the system will output tokens, which can be words, parts of words, punctuation, etc.)

Gamer for Democracy @marcbreaux.com · 02/09/2026

For example, if the existing text is "The capital of France is", you might get a list that looks like: Paris - 98% beautiful - 1% not - 0.5% etc. Then it randomly picks one of the words, weighted by the percentages. So in this contrived example, there's a 98% chance of getting "Paris".

LLMs are just auto-complete on steroids. It generates the next word* by taking a long stretch of the previous text and running it through the model. The model outputs a set of probabilities of what the next word will be.

I wrote a story a while back about a freak probabilistic event where a large portion of the world's population starts dying off randomly, and the first sign that it was happening was a proliferation of celebrity deaths. Now I'm freaking out a little..
