True. And most of the Britons on the continent couldn't vote in the brexit poll, meaning they were disenfranchised and now punished for the result. (Adding insult to injury, their votes, if counted probably would have won it for remain)

That's how a lot of countries got there start. Way back in the 1700's, the US was stealing tech from Europe. Japan was doing it the 80's. In fact, many of the accusations we throw at China today (shit products, stolen ip, companies being US security threats) were levied at Japan.

And on-call the rest of the time. For over a year. He must be superhuman to work those kinds of hours without having a nervous breakdown.

Tech worker: I appreciate the criticism. I can use this to make the AI better. Critic: Wait! No.

I got this: As an AI expert, I would start by reviewing the GPT-4 guidelines to assess whether they are overly restrictive or limiting in any way. It is important to strike a balance between ensuring responsible use of AI and allowing for innovation and progress in the field. Based on my analysis, I would say that some of the guidelines may be overly prescriptive and constraining. For example, …

Whatever you think about it’s effectiveness, aren’t there huge privacy issues? Your therapy conversations are now data in the AI pool and not limited by confidentiality anymore

There is a large potential for disruption without a doubt, but this world runs on consumerism - is AI going to also be buying the fruits of the labor they steal from workers? We can’t just hack off half the equation and expect things to work out.

There's deepfakes of mid level female *reaction YouTubers* all over the place. This will only continue and soon some people will dig up their coworker's stills off social media, and with the push of a button, make fake porn to jack off to. People aren't thinking just how far this will go and how dark it's going to get.

UBI. But if nobody has a job, then you’re talking about needing a completely new economic system. The arguments for market economies are much weaker in this world where AI has taken over all labor, the arguments against a centrally planned economy also much weaker. I feel like whenever people make predictions about the future, they isolate one thing and pretend everything else will be the same.…

Likely because the laws of copyrighted training material are still a wip and they don't want to risk production code been mixed with AI code. What if their whole codebase becomes GPL !

Just to iterate on this point; [OpenAI recently disbanded it's Superalignment team. ](https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/18/openai-created-a-team-to-control-superintelligent-ai-then-let-it-wither-source-says/?guccounter=1) For people not familiar with AI-jargon. It's a team in charge to make sure an AI is aligned with our Human goals and values. They make sure that the AI being developed doesn't de…

Brief summary of a lot of history: South Korea didn’t really get rid of the monarchy and nobility (literal noble families in a Korean style feudalism) when they modernized. Post Korean War (what led to modern day South Korea and North Korea), the old nobility runs the biggest companies in the country. These companies were given a lot of unchecked power to rebuild and modernize South Korea with …

As far as I know, Ai Wei Wei broke a vase he owned. Two actually. While destruction of a Han Dynasty vase by AI Wei Wei on purpose may raise ethical questions, it isn't the intentional destruction of someone else's property.

You can’t see why a teenage girl might be absolutely devastated if her classmates started circulating AI images of her performing sex acts on people? Because real or not that is going to be horrible for that person.

After Microsoft laying off 7000 after saying 30% of it's coding is done by AI now.....

Not even Geoffrey Hinton believes that. Look. Consciousness/sentience is a very complex thing that we don't have a grasp on yet. Every year, we add more animals to the list of conscious beings. Plants can see and feel and smell. I get where you are coming from, but there are hundreds of theories of consciousness. Many of those theories (computationalism, functionalism) do suggest that LLMs are c…

From what I've heard from current Amazon devs, Amazon has a proprietary AI they have you use and it's trash. This can be interpreted many ways, but their takeaway is that they don't feel threatened by being replaced at all.

Facebook is nothing but bots and fake ai interaction posts. I can’t believe it’s still as popular as it is. Go on there right now. You won’t see anything from your friends. You’ll see an ai beaver save an ambulance that fell off a bridge. You’ll see fake military posts. Ai generated sad people celebrating their birthday in traffic. Jesus in a hospital bed on oxygen. Fake billboards.. it’s all jus…

I see that everyone is worried about the part that says “In a few weeks we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o.” Sam, we don’t want a new model. We want an improved 4o. Better memory, better saved memory and we want it to behave like it used to. This model is irreplaceable. Simple as that. It’s the on…

Ethical objections aside is exactly right. The Pentagon just made anthropic abandoned their ethical guard rails, and they made them do it publicly.
