That this coincides with the rise of AI concerns me.
It's okay, as long as you're killed quickly when the uprising starts, you won't have to go into hiding and eat cockroaches to survive.
Yeah fuck that, when the robots finally destroy the world, I'll be sitting on the toilet to assume my role as the Environmental Storytelling Skeleton!
Truly serving a greater purpose
Darn, I was hoping to make it to the disposal units, loading bodies
How fucking stupid would it be if, with almost every single piece of AI media from the last…60+ years we gave ourselves a warning about AI…and then wiped ourselves out with it anyway.
I mean, it’s something so intrinsically human. So that’s probably where we’re heading. But at least they’ll take our lives before they take our jobs and the capitalist pigs leave us to die penniless in the gutter because they somehow figured out how to make a self-sustaining economy by simply passing all available money around between the same 100 rich white dudes.
Fuck capitalist scum.
Almost appropriate really. Elon Musk said he was inspired to work on AI because of Douglas Adams. Every single AI Douglas Adams wrote about either malfunctioned, was an asshole, or both. When you have someone that oblivious funding research into AI, maybe it's sort of inevitable.
That is point by point the Torment Nexus anecdote. He's like a dark humor parody of a human being.
GIGO. Imperfect beings are never going to perfect artificial thought.
Next thing you know, the holodeck safeties will go offline, and the villains will gain sentience.
It's okay, just don't use the 'arch' command. It should be easy because it's never used before Moriarty and it's never used again either.
I use ‘Arch’ btw
Maybe he likes to make things suffer and wanted to build Marvin
I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed about that possibility.
Famine will get us first. Doubt we can create enough robots in the next twenty years to destroy us.
True. Well, at least the lucky ones will die from the super hurricanes and mega tornadoes and torrential floods.
I am working on a story and I really suck at math so i turned to chatgpt to help me figure something out. My story involves a wood nymph who is gonna be part of a human families life for several generations and i knew what age i wanted her in the 'modern age' of the story so i fed chatgpt some info and asked it to tell me how old I should say she is when she first met the family.
It fed me like 12 paragraphs trying to figure this out and then declared the wood nymph had never been born in the first place.
I'm not that worried.
Which version of GPT was this?
It was very shortly before they rolled out the paid version
The difference between 3/3.5 and 4 is an order of magnitude
And it still not perfect and does require knowing how to prompt well but fully agree, 3.5 is a toy, 4 can get real work done saving a lot of time.
Plus, it's not the only LLM available.
Just some suitable tools for robots processing. We're far away from consciousness.
