It just blows my mind that things got to the point where we have to seek a privacy focused not-internet-connected keyboard when that should have been the default all along.

Elon Musk doesn’t care about chatgpt killing people either. He’s just marketing.

Just double checked, and no they are very much talking about LLM’s. Specifically they were testing gpt-4o, gemini-1.5, llama-3.1, sonnet-3.5, and opus-3 o1. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.04984 And the concerns raised in that paper are legit, but not indicative of consciousness or intent.

It’s wildly difficult to control the output of the black box and that’s hardly llms showing signs of self-preservation. These cries are from people in the industry trying to pretend the models are something that they are not, and cannot ever be. I do agree with the sentiment that we should be prepared to pull the plug on them though, for other reasons.

“This has never been about politics,”

Coward. It absolutely was, and is, about politics. The misinformation has ALWAYS been political. Countering misinformation is inherently political. As someone who’s very existence is considered “political” I politely suggest we drop the apolitical angle and start getting fucking angry and aggressively political. I’m very glad there are organizations out there like his that are doing that work. Just be honest about it.

Thank you.

Brendan would never hurt a fly!

For now.

To add to this, concept art is one of the places I would least like AI to be used in. It utterly fails at being creative and actually creating something fundamentally NEW and the more we use it the more our media will just devolve into remixed homogeneity.

Obligatory “I’m a luddite! And so can you” link

Because the POINT of using AI is to fire all the humans you have to pay. You can’t economically hire people to correct the AI work because it would cost as much, if not more, than paying humans to do the work and then you also have to pay your AI vendor.

Ohhh I get it. So MS should make the AI use mandatory and compulsory!

Loved the censor bleep

No, they do not think that voters should have a say in the matter.

The title is also weirdly phrased to make it sound like science was wrong. Of course science was wrong. The whole process is based on realizing that our past assumptions were wrong. Every time scientists discover something new, it replaces an old incorrect assumption. These sorts of titles are how you get to the “Mainstream media/science is bogus” track.

Thank you for your service!

I agree! I would love to get a carbon steel pan, but since my cast iron serves me so well I’ll never really have a reason to retire it.

Good catch
