I wonder how people have been doing it, since the beginning of time, with no help from technology.

Ya big fucking clown.

Edit:

Honestly bro what is it about tech bros being the biggest fucking losers on the face of this planet? I have more respect for street sweepers at this point

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

If street sweepers went away, people would notice within a week or two.

If tech bros went away, we'd just enjoy not having tech bros.

It's like that one thing: "Who would you notice is gone first, the CEO or the janitor?"

That says a lot about how worthless if a human he is.

Does he have a humiliation kink?

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

sammy knows what to say to get incurious venture capitalists to give him money

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Given what he's undoubtedly being paid, I'm sure hiring a nanny to look after his unfortunate offspring is well within his budget.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Which he can afford because of ChatGPT. Checkmate.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Altman: How do i care for my child?

Chat GPT (condensed): You rich, hire a bitch.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

why not hire nannies, or unless he prefers male ones because hes gay. and since male nannies are probably also wierd to begin with.

[–] thisphuckinguy@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

Maybe because he’s an idiot?

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

Someone needs to Chat CPS.

[–] Montreal_Metro@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

That man has kids?🤦‍♀️

[–] AHamSandwich@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

One, through surrogacy. Did he ask AI to explain to him how to fill his little jizz cup?

[–] martin4598@lemm.ee 17 points 6 days ago

Your kids will grow up and hate you because you suck as a dad.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago

In other words, he's an idiot.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For thousands of years people have raised their kids without the benefit of the moneypit 9000, Sam Altman is apparently dumber then a caveman.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago
[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 7 points 5 days ago

God forbid he should have asked his parents. Or the kids nanny.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 20 points 6 days ago

Cute how he finds new ways every day to say: "I'm a loser."

[–] percent@infosec.pub 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if lots of new parents are asking LLMs for advice.

And before AI (and probably still), new parents probably googled a lot of things.

And before internet search engines, new parents probably checked out books from libraries.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 4 points 5 days ago

Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.

It's one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it's another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

before that it was Youtube, for certain things, which at least was somewhat helpful to niche questions.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 20 points 6 days ago

I also don't understand how anyone could possibly not be a massive disappointment to their family without my patented Solutionbot 3600 that you can also take advantage of for just $$/month forever.

Money please!

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I believe the answer Sam is by being a parent and figuring shit out. Babies do very few things: eat, pee, burp, shit and sleep. If they have done all those things within a reasonable timeframe then it is likely they are hot, cold or otherwise uncomfortable. And some babies just want you to talk to them and hold them. After spending time raising your child you'll develop a sixth sense for what a cry is for so first you have to spend time with them.

Now, if you are filthy rich you shove the screaming sack of skin into the nearest nanny and GTFO. Later in life you'll wonder why your relationship is business like at best and transactional at worst with your kid, which you will lament to your therapist about, but still fail to have the self realization that it's because you were never a parent.

P. S. Please fall out a high rise window or down a very long hard flight of stairs ASAP.

What in the actual fuck ‽

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 6 days ago

Someone who says this is not a fit parent and should have their children taken away from them.

[–] numblyscabbyeach@lemmy.zip 10 points 6 days ago

Poor little human . I mean the baby

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Poor kid is doomed

[–] shadowDingus@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Seeing as ChatGPT was trained on other peoples' books, articles, etc., it's not surprising he says that.

Kinda slimy that he probably couldn't even give sources for his new-found child wisdom. Y'know, because ChatGPT is a glorified corporate piracy machine using stolen data and aggregating it for morons like him to read instead of doing a google search.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The AI hate is so weird, morons because we dont want to aggregate ourselves? The dangers are huge, the costs are ridiculous, the shareprice is bubbling. Its a heap of shit but your comment is just nonsense.

It is miles better to get aggregated information from multiple sources than read each source yourself. Consumers want convenience.

[–] shadowDingus@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

I don't believe the idea of aggregating information is bad, moreso the ability to properly vet your sources yourself.

I don't know what sources an AI chatbot could be pulling from. It could be a lot of sources, or it could be one source. Does it know which sources are reliable? Not really. AI has been infamous for hallucinating even with simple prompts.

Being able to independently check where your info comes from is an important part of stopping the spread of misinfo. AI can't do that, and, in it's current state, I wouldn't want it to try.

Convenience is a rat race of cutting corners. What is convenient isn't always what is best in the long run.

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s sad that all of our collective wisdom is so dead and gone people will turn to a glorified chatbot instead

[–] xavier666@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Please be a bit considerate. It's hard for him to form human connections when you are trying to be a plague on humanity.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 5 points 6 days ago

We have mistaken rationality for a philosophy rather than a methodology, and efficiency for a virtue without any particular end in mind.

To have a unique, personal, subjective, divergent human experience is to sin against your prescribed algorithm.

[–] insomniac@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I’m not as anti AI as a lot of people here but trusting it with very important things is asking for trouble. It still randomly hallucinates and gives you bad info. Not as often as it used to but still not good enough to trust with your child’s health.

ChatGPT has taken my bread to the next level and helped me diagnose electronics problems way faster than I have figured out on my own, which is awesome. But it has also given me a blueberry muffin recipe with no wet ingredients and calculated bread hydration 10% too low. I can easily imagine a scenario where some tired parent asks it for a Motrin dose for an infant and gets a wildly wrong answer and injures their child.

[–] korazail@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Like many things, a tool is only as smart as the wielder. There's still a ton of critical thinking that needs to happen as you do something as simple as bake bread. Using an AI tool to suggest ingredients can be useful from a creative perspective, but should not be assumed accurate at face value. Raisins and Dill? maybe ¯\(ツ)/¯, haven't tried that one myself.

I like AI, for being able to add detail to things or act as a muse, but it cannot be trusted for anything important. This is why I'm 'anti-AI'. Too many people (especially in leadership roles) see this tool as a solution for replacing expensive humans with something that 'does the thinking'; but as we've seen elsewhere in this thread, AI CANT THINK. It only suggests items that are statistically likely to be next/near based on its input.

In the Security Operations space, we have a phrase "trust but verify". For anything AI, I would use 'doubt, then verify" instead. That all said. AI might very well give you a pointer to the place to ask how much motrin an infant should get. Hopefully, that's your local pediatrician.
