Such a thoughtful, elaborated response. And a emoji included as well, to really capture the feeling of being written by an adult.
Post clown content, get clown responses.
IMO the reply was exactly what your post deserved. Just because your post was long doesn't mean it was intelligent or even valid. You posted a bad take, and got justifiably called out. Take the L and learn from it, or are you not an adult either?
If your reason to be on an online forum is to discuss, disprove, or change the beliefs of an stranger online, a good idea is to actually try.
If you're hunting precious updoots with snarky one-line comments that are parroting the ideas of internet culture, then this is not the place for it.
You must be new here. Welcome to the Internet
Have to wonder - is there any way for OpenAI to win in the public's eye?
If it reports stuff like this, it's a privacy breach. If it doesn't, it's aiding and abetting.
If it provides counselling, it's culpable. If it doesn't, it's failing vulnerable people.
I'm no fan of OpenAI, but what's the actual win state here? Any rational actor in that position eventually concludes: shut it all down.
That was the point I was trying to make in my original comment. I don't think there is, and I don't think OpenAI even care at this point given their track record of bad PR. They are already in bed with the government, they can't really be touched until that changes first.
Oh, I wasn't headed in that direction, however true it ultimately may be. More commenting on the "no pleasing the masses" scenario they've gotten themselves into.
Though upon further considering, it may very well be they only need to do the bare minimum while they strive towards those ends you hint at.
You want to build a nanny state.
