Arent like the margin increases on targeted ads already pretty bad? I don't think running expensive chatbots (which then can be messed with by the people you are trying to reach, driving up the costs even more) are going to really provide value for the advertisement world.
is less of a cult than it is a cult factory.
Cult incubator. Use the correct Silicon Valley terms please.

What is that? That's a hard-coded API token that Flock cameras use to identify themselves and get OAuth credentials, which can then be used to talk to Flock's production servers. Like, anyone on the internet can probably do this right now.
Mein Gott.
No direct links but various people on bsky have discovered LW and EA and are having a collective 'wtf is wrong with these people' and 'wait all the top AI guys are like this?' moments. And it is funny to see.
Sadly the 'you can't explain this stuff without either looking like an insane conspiracy theorist, or you need to write an actual book because people don't believe you remains a bit true.
E: ok one link: https://bsky.app/profile/niedermeyer.online/post/3mvpuq2deo22u (Guess this is a reference to the SE Gyges thread).
I recall a long time ago when the first 'we are going to hack virusses and the terrorists will kill everybody' stories came up that actual viroligists already explained that this is not how it works, and this isn't a risk people should really fear. But science fiction > experts.
E: also terrorists don't just want to kill everybody, and guns and fertilizer are cheap and easy to use.
Their ideas were compelling and you can’t deny their foresight
Ah yes, the AI did almost kill everyone with custom bacteria.
I recall the motte, where the one leftwinger who still tried to debate got the complaint he was just explaining basic leftwing concepts over and over (with good reason).
It was also amusing to see people on r/ssc complain on how leftwing politicians never think about X and Y, while our local Dutch leftwing politicians were talking about those subjects the same week.
Dont worry, you just need to pay me a little bit to get 100 times back, the Nigerian prince's executor says.
Not available in my country, this is anti Dutch discrimination!
Another comment:
My knowledge of politics is nil, but <steelman about what if trump actually wasn't trump>
(emp mine)
Well they think the world will end before the next election, so they have no other choice.
If only they had not told people to not cry wolf.
In September 2024, OpenAI had posted a graph showing their new o1 Strawberry model needed exponentially more training for small linear improvements — even on their own pet benchmarks.
Which iirc was also predicted by actual scientists before (I don't not have an actual paper however).
There you go. Trump can do this job too.
Why do we even need AI? Just ask Trump.
