It is very telling
Altman and Brockman, such shitty super villain names did they chose.
I definitely got stuck on their levels in Megaman as a kid.
Fuck these people and fuck ai
Did no one watch terminator?
AI becoming sentient is the least of my concerns
It doesn’t even need that. Its ready to obfuscate reality and fiction right now. Its ready to make nonconsentual porn of everybody, right now. Its ready to make oceans of fake political candidates, product reviews, everything you can think of, right now.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” — Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park
To be clear, if they can make living dinosaurs, they totally should. Like, don’t make an amusement park out of it, but if we can bring dinosaurs back and choose not to, that’s gotta be some kinda unethical.
Fuck yeah! Imagine letting lose a couple of those veloco-fuckers on wall street. Lets get to work!
Fuck OpenAI’s attempts at regulatory capture. But A.I. is amazing. Fuck humans.
If you want to know the state of “AI” right now, just try calling customer service or talking to a ChatBot for any company. It’s incredibly sh*tty.
But for real, if you want to know the state of AI, go to Hugging Face.
Mind explaining to a tech layperson why they’re bad?
I’ll explain for you, because there’s a lot of misinformation around.
What is being called AI these days is various companies’ version of what’s called an LLM – Large Language Model. Put simply, an LLM is a very sophisticated piece of software that takes what is asked of it to determine what is statistically the most likely sequence of words to follow as an answer.
This means you can ask a question the way you’d ask a human, and the way it answers will closely mirror how a person would answer (as opposed to stuff like Google Assistant or Siri, where you need to ask a question a specific way to get a decent answer).
Note, however, that at no point did I say that an LLM is accurate. This is the fatal issue that is never included by proponents of this kind of AI. They don’t have any mechanism to retrieve information, or verify the truthfulness of the answers given. You wind up seeing a lot of answers from this kind of AI that is either partially or completely wrong.
My favorite example is the result you get when googling “african countries that start with the letter K”. Someone posted the answer they got from an LLM to a forum online, which said that there is no country, and that became the top google result…despite the fact that Kenya obviously exists and starts with the letter K.
Essentially, LLMs are really fascinating in how well they approximate human speech – but they have absolutely no intelligence behind them. Proponents of this tech as AI either ignore this, or outright lie about it. As a result, a lot of companies have started using this tech to replace their support teams and/or the search functionality of their websites. I’m sure you can imagine the negative effects this has caused.
Oh I meant Hugging Face in particular.
Still, I appreciate you taking the time to lay out that explanation!
Oh whoops! 😬 I hope you get the answer you needed!
I think they’re being more literal. All the latest open source AI models get posted on Hugging Face.

I miss when OpenAI was limited to beating people in Dota
Hey look it’s a non-creepy photo of - hAHAhaha ahhhh. j/k
Don’t they sign pretty thick and explicit NDAs when they work at and leave OpenAI some serious shit must have happened.
Unless those safety researchers were also part of the team trying to oust Altman for being a creep ass then it makes perfect sense. But it doesn’t sound like that was the case here.
I would have stuck it out and made sure I had plenty of cans of beans in my office.
We do what we must because we can. For the good of all of us…
