Still is, but you nailed it. People wanted a criminal rapist who was best friends with the world’s most notorious child predator. None of what he is, was remotely hidden, every bit of it was clear and obvious. Everything that he’s doing, is things he said he would do.
It’s still the people’s job to hold them accountable, but most people you know just wanted this (if folks couldn’t be fucked to stop this, they gave it a default stamp of approval).
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.
Because they realize that rules are just words on paper. They mean precisely nothing when the people in charge of enforcing them are the ones who are breaking them.
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).
Hard agree.
Yes, there was a whole running narrative about bill the cat having his brain replaced with trumps back in the 80’s. my now completely crazy, maga dad, turned me on to bloom county as a kid so most of my politics likely took root with a large nosed penguin and his friends. Then when I hit high school, I found rage against the machine.
But yeah, I never watched any of his reality shows, this is the turnip I knew, until he became the actual president. My brain has not recovered.
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’m middle aged now, but I have to admit, while I’ve always known there was racism still around, and still part of the government. I’m blown away though at just how much more of it, and how deeply rooted it is. The kind of people in charge right now are literal cartoon villains when I was a kid.
I mean that literally.
Fixed that for you.
