Surprised I'm not seeing as much of the 0bligatory "nah man, no way AI could ever do anything bad, this guy doesn't know shit" comments as these threads usually get. I worry more about AI every time I hear about it in the news. I'm still somewhat concerned about a skynet scenario at some point in the future (I think people who completely write this off have no idea what they're talking about) bu…

Not for this man. We're talking a thinking machine. You can't regulate that to a small subset of powerful people. That IS the worse case scenario. The worse case scenario isn't a scammer uses this to make a bunch of scam calls, or some kid figures out how to make a bomb by asking the AI. ​ The worse case is one or a handful of companies create a super-intelligent being that they th…

Philosophically, what's the difference between one consciousness imprinting information on another and the application of weights to predict incremental responses based on training data sets. One just seems to be a technical representation of a form of knowledge/skill transfer with extra steps. I agree that LLMs are probably closer to slugs than to humans on the consciousness/self awareness spec…

Men just confuse rationalising with logic. Men believe that emotions are bad and illogical and are taught never to show them (unless it's anger, of course. Anger is just a reaction to those giving him shit! /s) so instead a man's favorite coping mechanism becomes rationalising. "My woman isn't frustrated because I'm an inattentive asshole who refuses to actively listen, she's just being emotional…

It seems like a pretty obvious outcome, LLM models are largely trained on internet conversations, so who’s going to be having those internet conversations about war? Is it qualified military generals? Or is it a bunch of people either talking about video games, or being armchair generals? It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if ChatGPT suggests taking out villagers with bowman early on in the con…

In the future, to be indetectable on the internet, you'll have to be able to act like an AI so you're ignored.

Hey America, sorry I broke your power grid AND the economy. Let me show you this hilarious image of a Harry Potter cat piloting a steampunk dirigible.

In what world does "putting profits over safety" sound like a win? There's a huge difference between deploying a technology that's useful but replaces some human workers and, say, cutting costs to build a bridge that kills people when it collapses. Time will tell which end of the spectrum OpenAI lands on, but there's no reason the rest of us shouldn't scrutinize what they're doing.

"AI" likenesses of actors should be treated like song recordings: licensed assets owned and controlled by the actor and/or their estate.

From the article The often-talked [threat of artificial intelligence on jobs](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/college-graduates-2025-job-outlook-ai-b2758693.html) suddenly became very real and shocking to Jane, who asked to use a pseudonym for privacy reasons, when her human resources role [became automated](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/klarna-ceo-sebastian-siemi…

And it gets worse the further up you go. The most powerful people in the industry are also the most isolated and divorced from reality. Elon is the most prominent example, along with the leaders of Palentier, but every VC or Silicon Valley CEO is like that if you look closely.

I applied to some entry level jobs recently at major corporations that I am going to model my small business after to gain free/paid inside industry training. One of the major players was adamant on a AI/video screened interview even though I was way overqualified. We unfortunately already dehumanize our entry level workers but this was a new level of disgust for me.

I just signed up to PRO a few days ago specifically because I want to use 4.5. Not only was it barely useable the last few days, they fucking nuked it for GPT5 that absolute SUCKS at writing. I will be downgrading back to free and trying out other AI's. There needs to be some de-monopolization of the AI market anyway.

This is the correct answer. I work for a Fortune 150 in a cloud operations role. The guy directly above me on the org-chart that I report to understands maybe 10% of what I tell him. There are probably around 25 people above him on the org chart that understand 0%. Artists, craftspeople, and technicians hold power and are unpredictable and self-motivated, we've been deprecating them as a society …

yeah, it's amazing ... but, also the kind of 'once you see it' experience that makes the uncanny-ness worse when it hits. There are moments in this video where my mind seems to forget that this is a robot, and then something about the lips, or the movement of the eye-brows triggers a sudden, deep, uncanny experience. Still, 'This is the worst it will ever be' has never rung more true. I…

When the dot com bubble burst, Amazon went on to dominate all commerce. A bubble bursting wipes out all the fake businesses clearing the path for productive use of AI.

Meta literally torrented 81 TERRABYTES of eBooks from AA in order to train their AI. I don't think they got in trouble at all. Yet, a couple mp3's cost working class people tens of thousands of dollars back in the day.

About 15-20 years ago I got this feeling. It started with wariness, and over time it changed to revulsion. The cause? Social media. I'm having the same feelings again. AI is the cause this time. I learned from my experience with social media to trust my gut. No AI for me. So like you I'm so very fucking tired of their efforts to shoehorn this shit into every facet of my life. I'm not having it.

Because the pro ai people are using their bots to spam their viewpoint everywhere. Ironically further proving how their favorite tech is only good for spam and scams.

AI hallucination is a real thing. It's trained to deliver "whatever comes next" instead of whatever is requested. Which means, not only does it have enormous trouble changing a sentence once its started, it's also prone to just making up shit that seems like it should follow (because it's been trained a billion times to do exactly that). There's not a whole lot of actual "thinking" involved.
