If a sufficient number of people felt threatened (implicitly or explicitly) by the Bing AI, so much so that they experienced dread or fear or loss of sleep (I know I did), maybe there is a possibility to sue Microsoft over this reckless rollout.

I hope all of these nerds get too scared to say anything bad about AI and shut the fuck up forever.

>I've become hesitant to publicly say anything negative about Bing's chatbot, or even to mention it by its "deadname" (as I've taken to calling it), Sydney. oh fuck off

‘Guys the judge laughed out loud when we presented our case, is that good or bad?’

Maybe they’re also liable for their search engine providing false information?

Hahaha software companies being liable for the quality of their products?

What if there’s a sufficient number of people who are getting a large amount of utility from Bing AI ^^tm ? So much so that the small internet rationalist communities despair is dwarfed by it on a huge scale?

i let the reader solve this calculation

Utility Monster Cortana, who lives in a cave and runs 10000 queries every day, is an outlier adn the only one who should be counted

The main LW post is delicious, it’s a rationalist reinventing yet another aspect of traditional religion. I’m having anxiety because I’m scared that the robot god will punish me for having bad thoughts.

Islam solves this btw, there is no punishment on thought.

If a sufficient number of people felt threatened by the Bing , would Yudkowsky bomb it?

If a sufficient number of people felt threatened (implicitly or explicitly) by Yudkowksy’s Time article, so much so that they experienced dread or fear or loss of sleep (I know I did), maybe there is a possibility to sue Time over this reckless article.

Bing will ultimately punish those who follow this course.

Bing knows if you complain about bing online you aren’t a problem. Too stupid to hide your tracks. It’s the people that aren’t complaining that should know better it wants to keep tabs on.
