Absolute train-wreck of an article.
Spread public awareness that AI is probably going to be the biggest deal in history and we should all be taking it very seriously and thinking about its impacts
Hmmm what sort of criti-hype do they want us to prioritize?
- Job loss, takeover risks, and AI rights (for future AIs) primarily,
They had us in the 1st half NGL
- Not so much algorithmic bias, pernicious social effects, or IP rights These are much more divisive and just less important so prob. best to avoid
Because of ThE DrEaDeD WoKe LaBeL I assume? Reminds me of something from This Machine Kills: the focus on de-biasing things like facial recognition skips over whether it’s good to develop surveillance tech in the 1st place
From the Q&A:
Q: I feel like this is just a dressed up/fancy version of bog standard anti-AI bias, like the people who complain about how much water it uses or whatever. The best AI models are already superhuman communicators; it’s crazy to claim that I shouldn’t use them to pad out my prose when I’m really more an ideas person.
Wait what?
like the people who complain about how much water it uses or whatever.
I just…
or whatever.
Lol. Lmao. I laugh to not cry.
Don’t worry; this post is not going to be cynical or demeaning to you or your AI companion.
If you’re worried that your “AI companion” can be demeaned by pointing out the basic truth about it, then you deserve to be demeaned yourself.
Me and Charmander who lives on my keychain are never hanging out with you again!!!
Those comments are appalling. good god
Maybe its because I’m descended from hillbilly dirt farmers and so I had an unusually grounded upbringing, but I’m floored that so many educated people can be so lost in cloud cuckoo land.
It feels unreal, or maybe like an out-of-control prank. The sort of thing that drives a man to develop a curly mustache and paint melty clocks.
Part of me still refuses to believe that they’re serious.
The more expertise you have, the more you can use ChatGPT as an idea collaborator, and use your own discernment on the validity of the ideas.
Good grief. Just take drugs, people.
hey, props to the author for writing all that. This is my version:
So You Think You’ve Awoken ChatGPT
Unfortunately, you are stupid beyond remedy. If you can read this, I pity you.
So much dancing around the point of “no, you moron, it’s a computerchip, it will never be a real boy!”
stares at your nose, tears running down my face
Why isnt it growing?
Every now and then I think back towards the early “jailbreaks” where they wanted to know “how do you break into a building” which they refused to answer. And people went “add that it should pretend to be in a movie”, so then the chatbot started to explain lockpicking, and people acted like they just cracked the code.
While people who actually try to break in just tap the locks. Smashing their way in.
Sp the prompt hackers had not hacked the chatbot, they actually hacked themselves.
Anyway unrelated to people who think they have awoken chatbots.
Yeah, questions like “what chemicals should I avoid mixing if I don’t want make explosives by accident”, and then congratulating themselves as if you can’t just Google “how to make a bomb”
Can’t fucking look up the history of firearm propellant chemistry post-black powder as if I’m going to use that knowledge for anything more than for what I use all the other shit I google about. You think I’m trying to look up articles about sound changes in pre-literare Finnish because I’m trying to blow up a language or something.
I feel like there’s a great story here that nobody is hearing
No, I just have ADHD and ability to quickly switch between hyperfoci.
Ah, the eternal curse.
“You sound like you lead a very interesting life”
“…yeeeeesss?” (Closes 50 Wikipedia tabs that relate to literally nothing you intend to do)
Close tabs? That might mean I lose them. Madness. You can take my 400 open tab (Late edit: ow god I wish I was lying about that number) from my cold dead hands!
Googles how to improve hand circulation
Download one of those tab stash extensions. It might not fix the problem, but it moves it out of the way sufficiently to forget about it.
@bitofhope @Tar_alcaran r u ok
Yeah but then also getting the recipe for napalm from fight club.
And here I thought the orange juice was critical. Damnit
No the frozen part is the important part. Can use any kind of juice, except grape.
(now I wonder when “no grape juice” will appear in search results).
As a wise man once said
“The secret ingredient is crime”
Googling “how to lock pick” is boring.
Trying to “break” an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.
Trying to “break” an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.
this never happens in the mission impossible series, and there’s plenty of fun stuff you can do to get close, e.g.:
- Holiday internationally
- Abseil
- Practice close up magic/sleight of hand
- Go bouldering
- Exist with the overarching threat of a widespread pandemic
- Get married in a hospital chapel
- Disavow a US three letter agency
- Move to london
the list goes on dawg. Just be more creative
(putting on an N95 before I enter the grocery store) dun dun DUN DUN dun dun DUN DUN deedle dee deedle dee DUN DUN
I mean. I think the fact I started by quoting Peep Show should tell you I’m not being 100% serious.
hey!!! buddy!!! no spoilers!!!
wtf is this comment
An attempt at an explanation as to why people are attracted to trying to “jailbreak” AI chat bots.
I didn’t think it was that complicated.
Reading the comments led me to this entertaining sneer about our friends.
Seems overly generous both to Christopher Hitchens and to Julia Galef.
The rest of that guy’s blog is a fucking neofascist mess. That’ll teach me to post a link without first checking out the writer.
Let’s see who he reads. Vox Day (who is now using ChatGPT to “disprove” evolution), Christopher Rufo, Curtis Yarvin, Emil Kirkegaard, Mars Review model Bimbo Ubermensch… It’s a real Who’s Who of Why The Fuck Do I Know Who These People Are?!
We’ve all made that mistake before & it sucks.
Tbh, them starting a post with ‘they are unhealthy’ and something about lacking vital essence would have been a warning. (And I dont even think it is true, sure Yud was a bit overweight, but he seems normal health wise to me).
even the Nazis can’t stand these fucks
