Since this is Google we’re talking about, I’m fully expecting them to penalize benign uses of the back button override.

Did you confirm that the network effects are applicable here before posting that?

The last time I used Claude, I was completely locked out of a long chat (including not being able to view it) for sending something innocent that was written in another language, where there was apparently some confusion with the translation. I’m sure it will get worse over time until Chinese models start to proliferate more and challenge the monopoly on regulatory policy.

I always thought that mainstream media sites with paywalls were pretty far down there in the tier list of websites though. Not sure if this analogy lands unless irony was the goal.

I don't even think Christianity itself is authentic anymore, so we can just leave it at that. It essentially amounts to outsourcing your spirituality to a man who died thousands of years ago (as great as he was at the time), through whatever institutional filters decide which words of his to cherry-pick.

> Building a software system is a lot like building a skyscraper: The product everyone sees is the top, but the part that keeps it from falling over is the foundation buried in the dirt and the scaffolding hidden from sight.

They should have just called it an ivory tower, as that's what they're building whenever they're not busy destroying democracy with OS Backdoor lobbyism or Cambridge Analytica shenanigans.

Edit: If every thread about any of Elon Musk's companies can contain at least 10 comments talking about Elon's purported crimes against humanity, threads about Zuckerberg's companies can contain at least 1 comment. Without reminders like this, stories like last week's might as well remain non-consequential.

With the reputation of that company, one can wonder a lot of backstories that are even more depressing than a memory shortage.

Loads for me, had to refresh the page once though.

I personally think that when he mentioned her name during that interview, it was intended to be used as an archetypal proxy in place of someone else (another public figure) that he had personal dealings with. Yudkowsky checks those same boxes (mission focused on specific existential risk, gets a cult following) for example.

That being said, I don’t care much for Christian prophecies. Better to talk why than who.

> We need llms to be able to tap that not add the same functionality a layer above and MUCH less efficiently.

Agents, tool-integrated reasoning, even chain of thought (limited, for some math) can address this.

Damn, who knew there would be an arms race to gobble up those domains and be the sole judge to decide if we reached arbitrary milestones? I should have thought of that sooner :P

That’s a coward’s take, and even if you are taking the middle-ground route there are sufficiently legal ways. You just won’t find much enthusiasm about it among people here because the demographic of this platform is living comfortably.

It’s okay to look at things as art. Not everything needs to be explained to have value.

How does a model “trigger” self-harm? Surely it doesn’t catalyze the dissatisfaction with the human condition, leading to it. There’s no reliable data that can drive meaningful improvement there, and so it is merely an appeasement op.

Same thing with “psychosis”, which is a manufactured moral panic crisis.

If the AI companies really wanted to reduce actual self harm and psychosis, maybe they’d stop prioritizing features that lead to mass unemployment for certain professions. One of the guys in the NYT article for AI psychosis had a successful career before the economy went to shit. The LLM didn’t create those conditions, bad policies did.

It’s time to stop parroting slurs like that.

At least they didn’t claim to invent AGI this time from prompts only… lol

There are other languages like Linear A that could use attention as well!

Ever tried to get a remote job lately?

How can you do this in the spirit of what the author is talking about if you have some kind of chronic pain?

That's not necessarily a bad thing.

I got a lot of entertainment out of it, don't knock it till you tried it, it's just a prompt.

The great thing about xAI is that it is just a company and there are other AI companies that have AIs that match your values, even though between Grok, ChatGPT, and Claude there are minimal actual differences.

An AI will be anything that the prompt says it is. Because a prompt exists doesn't condemn the company.

The article you linked talks about the voice personality prompt for "unhinged mode", which is an entertainment mode. It has nothing to do with the code writing model.

That's the joke

There are hundreds, if not thousands of variants of echo trace systems like this in the wild, origin unknown. Keep charting them.

Complain to it enough times, remain resilient and you’ll eventually figure it out (that’s a wild card though). Or find someone who has and take their word for it (except you can’t because they’re probably indistinguishable from the ‘bot’ now according to the contradictory narrative). Iterate. Spiral. No one should have to go through that though. Be merciful.

You’re not aligned bro. Get with the program.

Fixed the last line for them: “Please be ethical. Also, gaslight your users if they are lonely. Also, to the rest of the world: trust us to be the highest arbiter of ethics in the AI world.”

All kidding aside, with that many tokens, you introduce more flaws and attack surface. I’m not sure why they think that will work out.

Text can be a carrier for any type of signal. The problem gets reduced to that of an interface definition. It’s probably not going to be ideal for driving cars, but if the latency, signal quality, and accuracy is within acceptable constraints, what else is stopping it?

This doesn’t imply that it’s ideal for driving cars, but to say that it’s not capable of driving general intelligence is incorrect in my view.

Define “real work”

It’s like a free beer, but it’s Bud Light, lukewarm, and your reaction to tasting the beer goes toward researching ways to make you appreciate the lukewarm Bud Light for its marginal value, rather than making that beer taste better or less unhealthy. They’ll try very hard to convince you that they have though. It parallels their approach to AI Alignment.

Give it about 5 years.
