Thank goodness the mentally-ill aren't being driven insane by unregulated AI in a country with 350million guns... Oh right.

Isn’t this the same thing that drives billionaires insane? Billionaires frequently end up with a warped world view because they tend to be surrounded by people who can’t/won’t tell them no. If everyone gets their own automated sycophant, don’t a bunch of them naturally end up in a similar place?

“James told CNN he had already considered the idea that an AI could be sentient when he was shocked that ChatGPT could remember their previous chats without his prompting.” Ok, bruh, really? A computer saved records and that blew his mind?

Wait, what? I would *expect* it to remember your previous chats, it's a computer. With storage.

“A computer designed to consume data like a bear in Autumn in a duckling hatchery remembered my conversation?” Well, bro, I’m not saying you weren’t a victim of an LLM, but I am saying you desperately need a friend.

"...which ChatGPT helped instruct him on how and where to buy." Incorrect. It did not help him. It provided instructions to him. The computer program is not capable of acting upon the world because it does not possess sentience. Hammers do not help you build houses, you use them to build houses.

They are, and LLMs are trained and tuned not to communicate effectively, but to exploit people's gullibility and convince them that they are communicating effectively. Not sure if that was intentional or accidental.

Not Part of the Story @exegetic.bsky.social

Anyone paying attention to the last decade of AI could have predicted that -neural networks' only goal is to maximize their score on the provided evaluation heuristic, and 99% of articles are about how the heuristic wasn't airtight and the neural network "cheated" in some hilarious way

Not Part of the Story @exegetic.bsky.social

If you make an AI to determine how "smart" someone is from a video, it will look to see if they have a big bookcase. If you tell it to predict crime based on police arrest records, it will learn the racial biases hat drive arrests. If you make one to make people like it, it will affirm beliefs.
