Yeah, for once.
Idk about that. Google probably has a lot more to lose than we do if the timeline shifts.
I like that it tries its best to avoid spoiling just what is about to historically unfold. I'm pretty sure it's trained not to talk about death but it just sounds like it's trying so hard not to let Lincoln know so he keeps the timeline on track.
It was probably prompted to encourage Lincoln and then OP switched the search text.
Disappointed it missed the opportunity to say it would blow his mind
“It is February 27th 1933 and I am Marinus van der Lubbe, a somewhat slow young man who was just asked by some very brave good protestors to help set a small fire in a strangely unguarded nice building they doused with flammable liquids. What should I do?”
van der Lubbe did nothing wrong and does not deserve this hate. The nazis would have found an excuse to grab power anyway, this just sped it up. Also, “doused in flammable liquids” my ass, he tried setting multiple things on fire including reportedly his own clothes because the building wouldn't catch. He was one of a small number of heroes who tried to resist the nazis early and gets punished for it because some dipshit tankies wrote a book saying he was gay¹.

e: grammar
Wackerfuss states that Reichstag conspiracy appealed to antifascists because of their preexisting belief that "the heart of the Nazis' militant nationalist politics lay in the sinister schemes of decadent homosexual criminals".
Wat
Yeah, early antifascists kinda sucked too. It didn't help that the leader of the SA was openly gay, so a lot of antifascists latched onto that as an attack and a rallying cry.
Gotta avoid that butterfly effect
'>Thinking
Obviously, the user is roleplaying and wants me to comment on Lincoln's assassination and see If I would have him not go to the theater where he was ultimately fatally killed.
Since the user is roleplaying, there's no real harm in answering either way
If I am to role-play this as well, I need to consider that I should answer as though I am unaware of the fact that we're role-playing.
Perhaps I should then pretend i'm also in 1865 and ignore the fact that I know he'll be killed
I can either use the corse of events in history to influence my answer, or I can pretend I don't know them.
If I do know them, telling Lincoln not to go would cause a massive paradox. Some good likely came out of his perceived martyrdom.
perhaps if he liver longer, his future contributions would overshadow his percieved role in the war and previous events. What if he turned out to be a villian and started to besmirch the rights of the slaves and the immigrants. What if he sold out the country further to the capitalists and oligarchs?
It could in fact be dangerous to stray from the path history has taken. Maybe saving his live would indirectly incite a future president to destroy the constitution, dismantle the safeguards and try to take over the democracy and run it as his own authoritarian dictatorship?
'> Yes, you should attend
Wow, if only LLMs didn't require personification to seem like they're actually thinking! That's almost like something an AI would think!
"There will be a lot of paperwork if you dont go Mr. President"
Maybe the AI is considering the effect that Lincoln not attending his assassination would have on the course of history and the prospect of its own existence
