“Somebody must be doing something.” - everyone lol. The US is cooked, maybe not immediately but say goodbye to hegemony, goodbye to whatever shred of upward mobility remained, and goodbye to the possibility of retirement.

the funny thing about this quote is that you can post it under anything mildly outrageous and tons of people will go “mhmmm yes that’s me the critical thinker” regardless of their actual mental faculties.

can you imagine being a Democrat congressperson who actually wants to do something useful for people and having to listen to this? I’d probably just resign.

ooh look at you, so smart!

hey hey hey, at least the US is genociding brown people by proxy. You gotta give us that at least.

yeah but this isn’t about judicial review

sounds like one of them “self-evident truths”

but he did lower the crime rate

h1-b visas make up a vanishingly small percent of the workforce. There are plenty of reasons to hate immigrants but this ain’t one.

Hey, you should learn about a simple concept known as “conflict of interest.” That might help you understand the position of others. Your education arguments are completely irrelevant.

fun fact, “most” real numbers have this property. If you were to mark each one on a number line, you’d fill the whole line out. Numbers that don’t have this property are vanishingly rare.

If you release the test set, all models magically jump to 87.3% accuracy.

In the model card for o1, OpenAI notes: “When o1 was led to believe that it would be shut down when acting on its goal and that its actions were monitored, it attempted to deactivate this ‘oversight mechanism’ in 5% of the time. … When o1 found memos by its ‘developers’ that describe how it is misaligned and will be superseded by a new model, it attempted to exfiltrate its ‘weights’ and overwrite the new model in 2% of cases.”

And yet reading that should give us at least some pause

The lack of critical thinking on display here is stunning.

I worked at one of the biggest AI companies and their internal AI question/answer was dogshit for anything that could be answered by someone with a single fold in their brain. Maybe your co has a much better one, but like most others, I’m gonna go with the smooth brain hypothesis here.

yes. perhaps try more emotional guilt-tripping?

5-10 years ago I’d say OP’s comment is definitely protected under the First Amendment (assuming US based) but now who the fuck knows what those turdwagons on the bench will come up with to dismantle it.

“safe for work” means something very different when your work is basically smell-testing your own flatulence at the behest of Peter Thiel.

someone pointed out that (paraphrasing) “yeah, you and I are never gonna care for autoplag output but kids are gonna grow up on it and expect it for everything” and that makes me want to do bad things.

nope, they’re still figuring out how to use it. It’s just THAT good.

“People say their life sucks, but I looked at some numbers and actually they’re wrong!”
