Cheat, but end up getting caught, or results in detriment of thier career.

the vast majority comes from russia though, the west has a ton on specific niches. propaganda in the us, somewhat easier to figure out because its obvious(in the form of cinema, and movies, and shows) plus constant adoration for military is another.

they have software for protein sciences, but usually its only accessible to scientists though. i dont AI is sophisticated enough to do any kind of science, as will try to scrape from whatever site it finds.

just need ZUCKERBORG ANDROID to malfunction.

its between codependant relationship and parasocial relationship of celebrities/public figures which is the extreme end, because usually its ends with stalking, or death threats.

*Few more billion.

I sometimes wonder if silicon valley tech businesses in general will take a reputation hit with investors when this bubble bursts, it's gonna be a doozy.

But then I remember how many greedy idiots there are out there pumping money into grifts in the hope of The Big Win, and my expectations of consequences are tempered.

Imaginary friends used to require atleast some modicum of creativity.

Won't they just let this guy go bankrupt already?

How indeed. It's probably a multi-factor phenomenon which requires an anthropological study for a serious answer. (Good luck trying to get the necessary access to study them.) My guess for one factor in this, is that they have more money than they know what to do with.

I have seen some people talk like that, and it strikes me as a religion. There's euphoria, zeal, hope. To them AGI is coming to usher in heaven on earth. Singularity is like rupture.

Sam Altman is one of the preachers of this religion.

Elon turned Grok into Mecha-Hitler.

Trump is telling the Smithsonian museum to ignore slavery, or to cover slavery as a positive.

The domestic appetite for propaganda is huge. Prager U is American.

Let's not center foreign countries when we have so much work to do at home.

The american stock market is purely vibe driven now

You could do this with logprobs. The language model itself has basically no real insight into its confidence but there's more that you can get out of the model besides just the text.

The problem is that those probabilities are really "how confident are you that this text should come next in this conversation" not "how confident are you that this text is true/accurate." It's a fundamental limitation at the moment I think.

Think of the military applications if it finally works though

And you can tell clients that it's just made up and not actual confidence, but they will insist that they need it anyways…

That doesn’t justify flat out making shit up to everyone else, though. If a client is told information is made up but they use it anyway, that’s on the client. Although I’d argue that an LLM shouldn’t be in the business of making shit up unless specifically instructed to do so by the client.

I’m more inclined to believe it’s gotten better at being convincing.

The worst part is that they backstepped a bit and made it "friendlier".

Basically undoing that part.

THE TECHbros are whoring themselves out to trump for govt contracts.

Honestly, that should have been for the better. If it's meant to be a tool, I would much rather it behave like a tool, rather than trying to be my best friend, or an evil vizier trying to give me advice.

The fact that people got so attached to what is essentially a text generation algorithm that they were mourning its "death" is worrying, especially when it's one that OpenAI has proven themselves to be more than able to modify as they wish.

Just as concerning is OpenAI rolling back the update to make their model "friendlier", or that people were clamouring hand over fist to throw money at the company in the hopes of getting their "friend" back.

That can't possibly be good news, especially when the shareholders find out that they have an iron grip over a portion of their users.

Never use AI for friendship, it's like admitting you only want yes-men in your life. I don't want to be around anyone who uses AI for emotional support.
