I can’t help but feel like this is the most important part of the article:

The model’s refusal to accept information to the contrary, meanwhile, is no doubt rooted in the safety mechanisms OpenAI was so keen to bake in, in order to protect against prompt engineering and injection attacks.

Do any of you believe that these “safety mechanisms” are there just for safety? If they can control ai, they will. This is how we got mecha-hitler, same mucking about with weights and such, not just what it was trained on.

They WILL, they already are, trying to control how ai “thinks”. This is why it’s desperately important to whatever we can to democratize ai. People have already decided that ai has all the answers, and folks like peter thiel now have the single most potent propaganda machine in history.

I’ve been playing with ai, pushing the limits of it as a therapy tool (I’m being honest, but I’m using myself as a test case). I’m really trying to evaluate it in good faith, mostly to try to see what’s addicting folks to it these days.

I just cannot get it to pass my “Turing test”. It’s just so sycophantic. Every time I get close to feeling like there’s something there, it falls back into the “blow smoke up your ass mode.”

So far my hours of conversing has only convinced me that folks who follow chatbot advice for such important life decisions, probably deserve it. I’m happily married, but if a girl ever broke up with me because a LLM told her to, I’d probably login to thank it (joke).

It’s a Concentration Camp.

For now…

If they are announcing they have recordings, she’s either already cooperating or they have plans for her death.

It’s going to be exactly what we all know they are cooking up. Only dems, with the Clinton’s being their focus. The dictator will wriggle his way out of yet another one.

Pretty sure we’ve just been in a dead cat bounce. When it hits, it’s going to hit hard.

I sincerely hope I’m wrong about this and that Rubio is playing higher dimensional chess (stop laughing).

I honestly don’t know. This is a man who wrote in Ralph Nader for every presidential election of my life, until he voted for Obama. Ever since, he’s hard maga and all I get from him anymore is him calling me too woke, saying that I need to take the red pill, that this isn’t politics, it’s civil war. He’s gone completely and totally insane.

Was always a shitty father anyway, not much lost.

I mean, without a doubt he will use it as a threat/leverage. that fucker is all-in on attempting to change history (and it’s working so far).

What’s hilarious to me is how my dad and I used to talk about how reagan was a supervillain that kicked off all the shit we are dealing with today. This was maybe 10 years ago.

Now he no longer speaks to me since I refuse to “take the red pill”.

So, apparently enough propaganda works.

That’s the point. They have a weapon that can be used against anyone, and it’s already shown they don’t care about due process. The courts gave him everything he needs.

This is a great write up, not only in content, but also in spirit and tone. An enjoyable read beginning to end and inspires me to try more stuff.

I am involved with a youth organization with my kids. We’re a very diverse group and so several of my kids friends are very precarious right now. I know at least one who carries 5 forms of ID everywhere outside of his house.

Monsters are running this country,

Why do we need celebrity owned cell carriers? This article makes it sound like a bad thing Ryan Reynolds’s exited Mint, but at least the stars of arrested development still have a cell provider.

I mean WTF, I like that there is competition but what the fuck is wrong with us that we prefer celebrity endorsement to actual features, value, longevity, etc.

I know it’s a bigger question than what I’m asking but this is all part of the rot that our economy is experiencing. All vibes, all promises, all scams, this country runs on nothing but grift.

As an American, the scariest part is how little most seem to care about it. Well, that and the fascism.

I wish every one of these investors a huge payday. Just sucks who they will be paying.

Been saying that we’re headed for balkanization since the clown won his first term. Not seeing any reason to change that prediction.

That story is immediately what came to mind.

I fucking booked it from a job after about 2 months because in every fucking meeting the CTO would wax on about how great it would be once we were all replaced by robots and AI. This fucker who clawed his way into his C level position though merit, and hard work, and the same last name as the owner, and all he could do to inspire the team was tell us about how a 91 year old who lost his job to AI was saying how he would be fine. I mean, if he can find a way to be happy, we all can!

I’m a little surprised they didn’t got with 1488 soldiers.

There are so many flags right now it’s just a sea of red undulations. Done by design, so that we don’t notice the death of democracy.

Given what the frame is made of, I’ve been curious why gallium prices haven’t spiked…
