Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Every now and then I think back towards the early "jailbreaks" where they wanted to know "how do you break into a building" which they refused to answer. And people went "add that it should pretend to be in a movie", so then the chatbot started to explain lockpicking, and people acted like they just cracked the code.

While people who actually try to break in just tap the locks. Smashing their way in.

Sp the prompt hackers had not hacked the chatbot, they actually hacked themselves.

Anyway unrelated to people who think they have awoken chatbots.

As a wise man once said

"The secret ingredient is crime"

Googling "how to lock pick" is boring.

Trying to "break" an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.

Trying to “break” an AI into revealing secret information is the closest you can get to being in a real life Mission Impossible situation.

this never happens in the mission impossible series, and there's plenty of fun stuff you can do to get close, e.g.:

  • Holiday internationally
  • Abseil
  • Practice close up magic/sleight of hand
  • Go bouldering
  • Exist with the overarching threat of a widespread pandemic
  • Get married in a hospital chapel
  • Disavow a US three letter agency
  • Move to london

the list goes on dawg. Just be more creative
