This is a really interesting paragraph to me because I definitely think these results shouldn’t be published or we’ll only get more of these “whoopsie” experiments.

At the same time though, I think it is desperately important to research the ability of LLMs to persuade people sooner rather than later when they become even more persuasive and natural-sounding. The article mentions that in studies humans already have trouble telling the difference between AI written sentences and human ones.

Filament died of cringe 😔

I don’t just forget the to-do list. I remember it 3 days in, remember what’s on it, and get so stressed about it I decide that I can just not look at it and it will probably be fine.

When they say “raise the bar” they just want to make a hornier dating sim.

It’s both. He’s difficult to work with, but also his acting is so bad he makes most movies he’s in worse than they could be.

Plenty of Hollywood actors are assholes, but if they’re good enough at acting they’re forgiven. Jared Leto is not good enough to get away with it.

It’s semantics. The difference between an llm and “asking” wikipedia a knowledge question is that the llm will “answer” you with predictive text. Both things contain more knowledge than you do, as in they have answers to more trivia and test questions than you ever will.

80% of police work could be done better by trained social workers.

Yeah, they’re not trying to foster left vs right, they’re trying to foster all right-wing with in-group fighting.

Some More News had the right take on this: all these companies just dumped (either in investment or development) (hundreds of) billions of dollars into AI development.

The problem is, we’re still 10-15 years away from AI being actually useful in gadgets and stuff. But these companies want to get paid now, so they’re shoving the cheapest, shittiest “functional” AI onto the market just to try and recoup some losses. And it’s painfully apparent it isn’t working.

The problem with every organization app.

“It worked for me! Now all my projects are organized and it’s so much easier than when I was keeping everything in my head… After I was able to sit down and focus for a day to import all my data and organize it and set up the program to tailor to my application and now that I go back to it to reorganize my new info every week…”

Should have said “yous guyses”

Seriously, the world is full of soma in the form of social media and electronic entertainment. It’s a choice to take it and it’s a widely acknowledged and socially acceptable thing just like the book

Keeping your money out of the AI grift was a good idea but doesn’t deep seek imply that powerful AI is coming even faster and cheaper than what was already being promised?

Like what?

Sounds like you do have something to do then.

Community saw this as a potential note and agreed that it isn’t provably true and doesn’t contribute to the post. Rejected and it won’t be shown.

If you think this method doesn’t work I have an entire Wikipedia to show you.

A foot for a foot

Open ai going for-profit will be funny/terrifying to see. They can’t even break even right now. Even if they try to sell AI powered advertising or something it will be so stupidly expensive for them.

Friends I have talk about ordering groceries so casually. I go onto these apps and see a 20% markup with delivery fees and I’m like what the fuck.

Every big business owner believes they are the reason the economy turns and if it wasn’t for their ruthless intrepid capitalism giving other people jobs the world would be in shambles. Then they turn around and tell each other with a straight face that labor is the largest business expense and if you want to be successful you should do everything you can to cut business expenses.
