From Heth Serd:

Spread public awareness that AI is probably going to be the biggest deal in history and we should all be taking it very seriously and thinking about its impacts

Hmmm what sort of criti-hype do they want us to prioritize?

• Job loss, takeover risks, and AI rights (for future AIs) primarily,

They had us in the 1st half NGL

• Not so much algorithmic bias, pernicious social effects, or IP rights These are much more divisive and just less important so prob. best to avoid

Because of ThE DrEaDeD WoKe LaBeL I assume? Reminds me of something from This Machine Kills: the focus on de-biasing things like facial recognition skips over whether it’s good to develop surveillance tech in the 1st place

From the Q&A:

Q: I feel like this is just a dressed up/fancy version of bog standard anti-AI bias, like the people who complain about how much water it uses or whatever. The best AI models are already superhuman communicators; it's crazy to claim that I shouldn't use them to pad out my prose when I'm really more an ideas person.

Wait what?

like the people who complain about how much water it uses or whatever.

I just...

or whatever.

Lol. Lmao. I laugh to not cry.

Don't worry; this post is not going to be cynical or demeaning to you or your AI companion.

If you're worried that your "AI companion" can be demeaned by pointing out the basic truth about it, then you deserve to be demeaned yourself.

hey, props to the author for writing all that. This is my version:

So You Think You've Awoken ChatGPT

Unfortunately, you are stupid beyond remedy. If you can read this, I pity you.

Those comments are appalling. good god

Maybe its because I'm descended from hillbilly dirt farmers and so I had an unusually grounded upbringing, but I'm floored that so many educated people can be so lost in cloud cuckoo land.

It feels unreal, or maybe like an out-of-control prank. The sort of thing that drives a man to develop a curly mustache and paint melty clocks.

Part of me still refuses to believe that they're serious.

So much dancing around the point of "no, you moron, it's a computerchip, it will never be a real boy!"

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.

Reading the comments led me to this entertaining sneer about our friends.
