For anyone who rightfully can't be arsed to click that link, the expert is "Robert Miles AI Safety", who I assume is an expert (a youtuber) in the madeup field of "AI safety".

Not to be confused with the late and great dream trance producer Robert Miles whom we all love dearly.

what if the AI sprouts wings and flies into the sky where we can't reach it?

Piracy is allowed as long as no one enjoys it.

Hi Deborah what's up wait so what the fuck, am I getting this right: this person found a new ficus, potentially, and is in contact with a ficus expert who'll get back to them in a few weeks. The person can't accept this insignificant delay because???? (is there a lot of pressing demand for advances in ficus taxonomy?) so they write this bizarre screed about ... about huh ... how the invisible hand of the market should drive ficus research? You know, like bees, or Batman? For some reason? Because having to wait a few weeks is the same as being left to drown?

Someone's on a lot of adderall.

Absolutely, every single one of these tools has got less interesting as they refine it so it can only output the platonic ideal of kitsch.

I kinda want to keep my job and ideally get a good bonus.

That ChatGPT can be more useful than a web search is really more indicative of how bad the web has got, and can only get worse as fake text invades it. It's not actually better than a functional search engine and a functional web, but the companies making these things have no interest in the web being usable. Pretty depressing.

To be honest, as someone who's very interested in computer generated text and poetry and the like, I find generic LLMs far less interesting than more traditional markov chains because they're too good at reproducing clichés at the exclusion of anything surprising or whimsical. So I don't think they're very good for the unfactual either. Probably a homegrown neural network would have better results.

you know you're on a fascist blog when you see so many AI illustrations
