that being said… AI does literally help some people. for many things. google search was my favourite AI tool 25 years ago, but it’s definitely not right now.

Children really shouldn’t be left with the impression that chatbots are some type of alternative person instead of ass-kissing google replacements that occasionally get some code right

I agree! I'm more thinking of the case where a kid might overhear what they think is a phone call when it's actually someone being mean to Siri or whatever. I mean, there are more options than "be nice to digital entities" if we're trying to teach children to be good humans, don't get me wrong. I don't give a shit about the non-feelings of the LLMs.

hey dawg if you want to be anti-capitalist that’s great, but please interrogate yourself on who exactly is developing LLMs and who is running their PR campaigns before you start simping for AI and pretending like a hallucination engine is a helpful tool in general and specifically to help people understand complex topics where precision and nuance are needed and definitely not fucking hallucinations. Please be serious and for real

Very off topic: The only plausible reason I’ve heard to be “nice” to LLMs/virtual assistants etc. is if you are being observed by a child or someone else impressionable. This is to model good behaviour if/when they ask someone a question or for help. But also you shouldn’t be using those things anyhoo.

decidely unsexy. gerard is finally beating the allegations

Making LLMs safe for mentally ill people is very difficult

Arguably, they can never be made "safe" for anyone, in the sense that presenting hallucinations as truth should be considered unsafe.

For you, the day Disney graced your independent research lab was the most important day of your life. But for Disney, it was Tuesday.

Got curious and wanted to see if I could beat the Atari 2600. Found an online emulator here.

"Easiest" difficulty appears to be 8, followed by 1, then increasing in difficulty up to 7. I can beat 8, and the controls and visuals are too painful for me to try anything more than this.

SRD suspects a Palantir psyop

 

Followup to part 1, which now has a transcript!

As is tradition, I am posting this link without having listened to it. (too many podcasts)

 

Just a lil tidbit of news of some web3 based company going away.

 

Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

 

Not sure how much needs to be said here. Sometimes I come back to a tab with a.s open and refresh, then get logged out. I’m using chrome on iOS but this might be reproducible on other browser/platform combinations.

 

Discussion on AI starts at about 17mins. The Bas(ilisk) drop happens at 20:30. Sorry if ads mess up my time stamps. I think this is the second time it’s come up on the show.

 

Don't expect a good or deep analysis of FTX or any TREACLESy stuff here.
