Fuck “alignment.” If I want to make an AI dungeon master, it’s almost impossible to do so (at least the way I enjoy tabletop RPGs) because the model can’t promote violence or other sorts of evil.

I get it, if you’re making a chatbot, you don’t want it suggesting wanton murder to fifth graders and grandmothers. But not every valid use of AI falls into the cleanly filtered worldview of Anthropic or OpenAI.

Or maybe I have it backwards. Maybe in the future everyone will flock to porn and ultraviolence because it’s the only way to find genuine humanity in an AI-sanitized world.

Is there a legal difference? Like if they are quashed does that constrain the government in some way?

I thought it would look unique in a geeky way. Instead it looks unique in a Nazi way. That’s not my vibe. Killed my enthusiasm for owning something that I knew most people would hate. Also costing twice as much and being a piece of shit.

Good reason not to use LG or Windows.

making their search engine better at returning relevant and accurate results

This isn’t the goal. The goal is monetization. Giving good results is useless to them if they don’t make piles of money doing it.

Which ironically means you’re getting 50% bullshit from Google as well, but AI delivers it much faster.

(I’m agreeing with you if that isn’t clear.)

… you killed my father. Prepare to die.

Maybe.

If you train a model for cyber warfare, you can’t be surprised when it attacks the defenses keeping it from engaging in cyber warfare — even if they are your own.

Surprise!

It’s 100% accurate. But just in case, could you have the map on you when you go around licking things? The resultant news article will be way funnier that way.

No! Keep going until we return to the sacred timeline!

Grandparents don’t want to rent shit. They want to buy it and be done. Source: this old fuck right here.

I’ll just point out that 3% market share is still bigger than the entire market when started building PCs. And that’s assuming they can make this attractive to anyone. Single point of failure for your entire company? Single supplier who has you over a barrel when they want to raise prices? Who in their right mind would go for that.

We’ll see. The fact that it’s on offer doesn’t mean people will bite. I’ve seen the industry try so much stupid shit that people said no to. Free computer full of ads? No. Scan cat? No. Packing LEDs into things that don’t need to light up or be hotter? Well… they got us there.

Goodbye local Windows, you mean. Except I said goodbye two years ago and never looked back or missed it. Windows does nothing I need, and does it poorly.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still petty enough to hope this effort is a miserable failure, but ultimately I don’t care all that much.

A BBC journalist ran the image through an AI chatbot which identified key spots that may have been manipulated.

What the actual fuck? You couldn’t spare someone to just go look at the fucking thing rather than asking ChatGPT to spin you a tale? What are we even doing here, BBC?

A photo taken by a BBC North West Tonight reporter showed the bridge is undamaged

So they did. Why are we talking about ChatGPT then? You could just leave that part out. It’s useless. Obviously a fake photo has been manipulated. Why bother asking?

Out of all that, the one that really bothers me is one they didn’t even list: it knows all of your friends and associates. They have your location data. They have the location data of everyone around you. If you and several other people are in the same location frequently, you’ll start seeing Facebook and other apps suggest them as friends.

Fifteen years ago, I was among a community of people who primarily used aliases within the community to isolate their personal lives and identities from their community identity and activities. Facebook outed everyone to each other through friend suggestions.

All the rest of these things don’t bother me all that much, but by knowing your associations, they can infer things like political affiliation, and currently it seems like being in a database of people who hang out with “the enemy” is very dangerous for folks who take action behind the scenes while keeping a neutral face in public.
